===General skepticism=== In addition to general skepticism among gynecologists, sexologists and other researchers that the G-spot exists,<ref name="Balon, Segraves"/><ref name="Greenberg"/><ref name="Hines"/><ref name="Kilchevsky"/> a team at [[King's College London]] in late 2009 suggested that its existence is subjective. They acquired the largest sample size of women to date β 1,800 β who are pairs of twins, and found that the twins did not report a similar G-spot in their questionnaires. The research, headed by Tim Spector, documents a 15-year study of the twins, identical and non-identical. According to the researchers, if one identical twin reported having a G-spot, it was more likely that the other would too, but this pattern did not materialize.<ref name="Greenberg"/><ref name="Acton"/> Study co-author Andrea Burri believes: "It is rather irresponsible to claim the existence of an entity that has never been proven and pressurise women and men too."<ref name="BBC8439000">{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8439000.stm |title=BBC News - The G-spot 'doesn't appear to exist', say researchers |access-date=2010-01-04 |date=2010-01-04 |archive-date=2017-11-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171129191448/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8439000.stm |url-status=live }}</ref> She stated that one of the reasons for the research was to remove feelings of "inadequacy or underachievement" for women who feared they lacked a G-spot.<ref name="YvonneRoberts">{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2010/jan/05/g-spot-women-study |title=The real G-spot myth | Yvonne Roberts | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk |work=The Guardian |access-date=2010-05-02 |location=London |date=2010-01-05 |archive-date=2018-06-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180613085737/https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2010/jan/05/g-spot-women-study |url-status=live }}</ref> Researcher [[Beverly Whipple]] dismissed the findings, commenting that twins have different sexual partners and techniques, and that the study did not properly account for lesbian or bisexual women.<ref name="TimesOnline">{{cite news |url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/science/article6973971.ece |title=What an anti-climax: G-Spot is a myth - Times Online |work= The Times|author=Lois Rogers |access-date=January 23, 2012| location=London | date=January 3, 2010|archive-date=May 31, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100531122424/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/science/article6973971.ece}}</ref> Petra Boynton, a British scientist who has written extensively on the G-spot debate, is also concerned about the promotion of the G-spot leading women to feel "dysfunctional" if they do not experience it. "We're all different. Some women will have a certain area within the vagina which will be very sensitive, and some won't β but they won't necessarily be in the area called the G spot," she stated. "If a woman spends all her time worrying about whether she is normal, or has a G spot or not, she will focus on just one area, and ignore everything else. It's telling people that there is a single, best way to have sex, which isn't the right thing to do."<ref name="BBCGspotDetected">{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7254523.stm |title=BBC NEWS | Health | Female G spot 'can be detected' |work=html |access-date=2010-01-03 |date=2008-02-20 |archive-date=2018-06-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180613091627/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7254523.stm |url-status=live }}</ref>
