Scientists in Spain say they have identified a highly sensitive erogenous area on the penis that may be the long‑sought male “G‑spot.” This research was published in the scientific journal Andrology.
The nerve‑rich area is known as the frenular delta, located on the underside of the penis at the point where the shaft meets the head.
Researchers examined tissue samples from both fetuses and adult body donors to map nerve concentrations. They found the frenular delta contains more nerve bundles and receptors than other nearby areas.
Scientists say this region could play a major role in sexual pleasure and orgasm, and that its anatomy was often overlooked in past studies.
Previous assumptions about a male “G‑spot” focused on internal structures like the prostate, but the new findings redefine where peak sensitivity may lie.
Experts caution that the term “G‑spot” might be oversimplified since sexual sensation involves many nerve pathways, and pleasure varies between individuals.
Some doctors also note that surgical removal of the frenulum region — such as during circumcision — could affect sensitivity, though further research is needed.
The study gives a more detailed picture of penile sensory anatomy and may influence how educators and health professionals discuss male sexual response.
