Aim of study to determine the existence of the G-spot from the healthy women's point of view and to assess the relationship with sexual function and genital perception. Sexually-active healthy polyclinic patients aged between 18 and 54 years (n=309) were classified into three groups as group 1 (do not agree, n=90, 29.1%), group 2 (neutral/do not know, n=61, 19.7%) and group 3 (agree, n=158, 51.1%) with regard to participants' responses to a question of "does the G-spot exist." The Female Sexual Function index (FSFI) and Female Genital Self-Image scale (FGSIS) were administered to the participants. Half of the patients (51.1%, n=151) indicated that the G-spot exists. The groups were statistically homogeneous in terms of body mass index, parity, marital status, number of partners, and sexual orientation (p=0.41, p=0.06, p=0.12, p=0.19, p=0.25; respectively). Women with an education level of "less than high school" reported the absence of the G-spot significantly more often than others, whereas women with an education level of "university and higher" reported the presence of the G-spot more often (p≤0.001). Sexual dysfunction was found to be more frequent in group 1 when compared with group 3 (p=0.002, 67.8%, 45.6%). The orgasm subdomain scores of the FSFI and FGSIS total scores were significantly higher in group 3 than in group 1 (p
