Do you honestly need a citation for the assertion that uncomfortable women have a difficult time orgasming, or that a typical medical examination room is uncomfortable? If you do I'll have to apologize, because I sincerely doubt any researcher would ever waste time on such a thing.

Fair enough.

These are all necessarily abstracts; I am neither a medical practitioner nor a student, and therefore do not have access to anything more detailed.

Here's a study from 2009, demonstrating via sonography the relationship between the clitoris and the anterior wall of the vagina. Specifically, it notes that a likely cause of 'G-spot' stimulation is contractions of the anterior vaginal wall stimulating the clitoral shaft:

The clitoral complex: a dynamic sonographic study. [J Sex Med. 2009] - PubMed result

Here's one that found an increase in nerve density about two fifths of the way into the vagina. Sample size: 7 cadavers, all Korean.

Innervation of vagina: microdissection and immunoh... [J Sex Marital Ther. 2009] - PubMed result

From 2008, this article notes a direct correlation between the thickness of the urethrovaginal wall and propensity toward vaginal orgasm, but again identifies no discrete and/or distinct 'G-spot' structure.

Measurement of the thickness of the urethrovaginal... [J Sex Med. 2008] - PubMed result

This one found the entire anterior vaginal wall to be sensitive, with no specific area of increased sensitivity (ie, no 'G-spot'). Sadly, there's no mention of methodology in the abstract, so you'll have to take on faith that their study was sound:

Vaginal erotic sensitivity by sexological examinat... [Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand. 1986] - PubMed result

And an article from the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, summarizing previous information. Again, sadly only an abstract, but it plainly states that although there's clearly a basis for tactile stimulation of the anterior vaginal wall leading to orgasm and even female ejaculation, there's no discrete physical structure known to be the cause of it:

The "G spot" and "female ejaculation": a current a... [J Sex Marital Ther. 1986] - PubMed result

You'll note that a few of these articles do note a relationship between the clitoral shaft and/or root and the anterior vaginal wall, but there's only one that indicates anything that could be remotely considered evidence for a discrete 'G-spot' structure. As for that one -- well, I'm certainly not an expert, but I'm not sure that 5 out of 7 is statistically valid.
