There is a very definite "urethral sponge" area just through the front wall of women's vaginas that, in some women, fills with prostatic secretion-like fluid which is expelled with orgasm. I don't think Grafenburg or anyone else ever claimed the spot was a bundle of nerve connections in the same way the clitoris is. It's just a spongy area that is palpable inside the front wall of the vagina and that responds to penetration and other types of pelvic stimulation in some. I know it exists because I can feel the spot in myself and my husband, a board-certified physician, can feel it and has brought on (and witnessed) those orgasms.
Keep this in mind. There are a lot of men out there--and male doctors and researchers top the list--who are intimidated in a big way by women's sexuality, which is still a medical and neuro-anatomical mystery to far too many people. Dr. Freud certainly allowed his penis-centered opinions to cloud reality about women's orgasmic response. I think Drs. Kinsey and Masters did, too, to a lesser degree. Those notable men, never once owning a female reproductive system of their own, published a number of theories about women's sexuality and orgasmic response that have later proven to be, at best, off target and some blatantly wrong. At least Kinsey and Masters were theorists for less of the time than they were researchers, so they learned to take into account women's first-hand experiences over time.
Take it from the ladies who have the anatomy, Breuk, the G spot is not a myth. Maybe read some research abstracts from Dr. Jennifer Berman, a board-certified urologist, who's quite knowledgable on this subject and a respected authority on women's sexuality.
