Experts discover new male G-spot in most detailed study of penis yet

Here's where it is located

As per the study published in the journal Andrology, it turns out that the main erogenous zone of the penis is a place so obscure that even experts in the field often aren’t aware of.

And this area is called the frenular delta.

It is located on the underside of the penis, right where the shaft of the penis meets the head, the study says.

The paper explains that it’s “richly innervated by partially overlapping perineal and dorsal nerve branches”, with “heightened concentrations of nerve bundles and corpuscular receptors”.

It notes that this sensitive area makes for “intensely pleasurable and highly specialized sensations”, in other words: there’s just a whole lot of very sensitive, very densely clustered nerve endings there.

The authors write that “although this may seem self-evident to anyone attuned to the sensations of their penis during sexual activity, our work scientifically validates the existence of a ventral penile anatomical region that serves as a center of sexual sensation”.

“In essence, the presence of a sensory center in the penis, akin to a ‘G-spot,’ emerges as a neuroanatomical reality”.

What is surprising, though, is that the authors found this out in a not-so-usual way.

Basically, if you’re hoping to enroll yourself in a genital-pleasure study like this, you can’t.

That’s the penises used in this investigation were taken from dead people.

Some of the people were adults aged between 45 and 96, and their bodies were donated to science after their death.

The research team wasn't only interested in exactly where the nerves are in a penis, they also wanted to see how they get there. This was more than just an interesting side quest: until now, the development of the penile nervous system was a black box, even to the experts.

The researchers’ next project is to recreate the investigation for vulvas and clitorises, which is an anatomy set that has traditionally been so ignored or rejected by medical science that many people don’t even know that the whole thing isn’t one big “vagina”.
