The latest research suggests it may all be a myth, or even Skene's gland aka the female prostate - which in itself isn't always recognised or even found in all women apparently.

Blah sutpid BBC andd their title
OK so while this research might be right the BBC wrote a scientifically irresponsible article:
First of all there is no mentioning of the research method. If it was done by survey ( which would make this research invalid) or by biological nerve research.
Without knowing The method of research you can't really claim that its true . I can't see one method that could research the existing of an biological entity while we don't really know its functioning in different scenarios. This is especially true for sexual related nerve grafts as they are affected by hormones' levels and parameters as proximity to the ovulation phase and the diet on which the person is at.
Does the G-point exist ? My scientific logic says that probably not. There is no biological logic to have such a point heck prolonging the sexual experience in a women is vital as it makes the body to be in a better position for "accepting" the fertilized egg . Also the lack of a male counterpart would be hard to explain as human beings are so androgynous that this point would have to be their in males as well ( and probably somewhere behind the rectum) .
SO to sum up while I do agree with the mind set of the research I don't see anyway that you could conduct such a research and reach such conclusions .

P.S.
a Good XKCD comics about this:
G-Spot
>> If it was done by survey
In regard to feelings or sensations, survey is really the only appropriate measure. The fact is that people have different reactions to the same stimuli, and the only way to detect how people feel about any given stimulus is to ask. There are no "magic buttons" which turn any human into a sex-starved bimbo, although the notion is a staple of male pornography. Likewise, although it's possible to induce an involuntary orgasm, the sensation isn't likely to be perceived as pleasant if the setting and the company aren't welcome.

Yes
It does.
That said, not everyone can orgasm from stimulating it alone. A significant majority of women need some direct external clitoral stimulation to orgasm. But, the external clitoris itself is part of a much larger structure, one which has two long internal legs wrapped around things through the pubis. It makes sense if you realize it develops from the same fetal structure that in the male becomes the penis. Grafenberg's spot may be near the spot where the two legs split apart. As Dan Savage, the noted sex advice columnist points out, "the clitoris is not the head of the man in the canoe, it's just the hat on the head of the man in the canoe."
Myths of the times we live in.
Well, probably people cannot live without myths. Probably a myth an integral part sew civilization. As soon as will discredit one myth, it is replaced by following other myth.
About G-spot all was clearly right from the start. It is enough to look the anatomic atlas. If G-spot existed, then there would be a corresponding nerve plexus.
The human body is studied in every detail, in it just does not remain places for myths.
