Putting this is a spoiler box due to somewhat graphic nature of it. Click at your own risk, eh?
[spoiler-box]Female ejaculation (also known colloquially as squirting[1] or gushing[2]) refers to the expulsion of noticeable amounts of clear fluid by human females from the paraurethral ducts and/or urethra during orgasm. The exact source of the fluid is debated, although some researchers believe it originates from the Skene's gland.
According to some, female ejaculation is mostly accomplished by stimulation of the urethral sponge (sometimes identified as the G-spot) an area purported to be near the front of the vaginal wall.[4][5] More rarely, ejaculation can be accomplished through external stimulation of the clitoris alone, the internal tissue of the clitoris then contracting and stimulating the urethral tissue.
Female ejaculation has been discussed in anatomical, medical, and biological literature since classical antiquity. The Greek philosopher Aristotle noted the existence of female ejaculation,[6] and the Roman physician Galen (2nd century) described the female prostate. The Italian Renaissance anatomist Renaldus Columbus referred to female ejaculate in his explanation of the function of the clitoris. In the 17th century, the Dutch anatomist Regnier de Graaf wrote a book about female anatomy and spoke of female fluid "rushing out" and "coming in one gush" during sexual excitement.[7]
Modern investigation
Up until the 1980s female ejaculation was largely ignored by the medical community. At that time the subject resurfaced with the bestselling book The G-Spot by Ladas, Whipple, and Perry. The book not only addressed the validity of the G-spot, but it also brought female ejaculation to the forefront of women's sexual health inside the medical community.
Researchers are still investigating the exact process and source of female ejaculation.
Nature of the fluid
Studies have been done by Beverly Whipple, John Perry, Gary Schuback, Milan Zaviacic and Cabello Santamaria but their findings are limited. While current information offers no solid information about the source of the fluid, chemical analysis performed on the fluid has revealed that while it sometimes contains at least traces of urine, it regularly contains chemical markers unique to the prostate (whether male or female).[3]
The latest research indicates the possibility that all women produce female ejaculate, even if they are not aware of it:
* The expelled or released fluid is not urine, it is an alkaline liquid secreted by the paraurethral (alongside the urethra) glands.
* The paraurethral glands produce an enzyme called prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), along with prostate-specific antigen (PSA).[8][9][10][11][12]
* Skene's gland also produces Human Protein 1, a trait formerly believed to be unique to the male prostate.[13]
Studies have found that:
* 54-60% of women have experienced emission of fluid at orgasm,
* with 6% reporting that they regularly ejaculate in a forceful manner, and
* an additional 13% stating that they have done so infrequently.[14][3]
Dr. Shubach believes that "most women, the overwhelming proportion of women" are capable of ejaculation.[15][/spoiler-box]
lol, I dunno how to mod this post... >_> help? lol
