Explanation

The G-spot is an elusive erogenous zone some women claim to have that can be stimulated to enhance their sexual experience. As the link in title text shows, its existence BBC is disputed.

In this comic, a live press conference has been held due to a peer-reviewed study suggesting the G-spot may not exist, but the press have entered the wrong meeting where Cueball (the researcher) is presenting the results of a study on solar cells. Initially he tries to point out that he has not been researching the G-spot, but then ends up ashamedly admitting that he has tried but failed to find it anyway. This suggests he has had difficulty making his lover orgasm through the use of G-spot stimulation, although it may be that his solar cell research took an unusual turn and he ended up making a wildly disconnected discovery.

In the title text Randall notes that he could not read the lead from the BBC story (The elusive erogenous zone said to exist in some women may be a myth, say researchers who have hunted for it.) with a straight face. This is probably because Randall assumes that "hunted for it" means the researchers had frequent sexual intercourse attempting to stimulate it.

Transcript

[To the left of the main comic there is an explanation text without a frame around it:]

A study published in the journal of sexual medicine suggests that the g-spot may not actually exist.

We go live to the researchers' press conference:

[Two reporters with microphones, Ponytail and a Cueball-like guy, stand below a podium where Cueball stands behind a lectern. Ponytail reach out with her microphone towards Cueball:]

Ponytail: Is it true you've been unable to find evidence that the G-spot exists?

[Zoom in on Cueball and the top of the lectern:]

Cueball: My research is in solar cells. I think you have the wrong press conference.

[Beat panel with the same view as before.]

[Same view but now Cueball hangs his head. Smaller text.]

Cueball: But... yes.

Discussion

Well, obviously nobody searched for it (the hypothetical article, that is), because I very easily found (ahem!) that exactly two days prior to the strip concerned the story at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8439000.stm was posted. Title of "The G-spot 'doesn't appear to exist', say researchers", intro paragraph of "The elusive erogenous zone said to exist in some women may be a myth, say researchers who have hunted for it.". So that's at least one site that can be shown to exist. As for the other one... 31.111.35.144 00:05, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
