Female Ejaculation: Myth or Reality?

By: VibeReview / www.divinecaroline.com

Did women suddenly awake with sexual superhero-like powers? What is all this talk about women having the ability for liquid expulsion during climax? Why didn’t anyone teach me about this in Sex Education 101? And, more importantly, if female ejaculation is a natura

l response to extreme sexual stimulation, why have I not experienced it?

Is there something wrong with my sex life, since I have never ejaculated? Where does female ejaculate come from? Is it urine? Is female ejaculation normal?

VibeReview has received email after email on this very topic. The above questions are just a few of the questions we receive weekly. Men and women are fascinated with female ejaculation (also referred to as “squirting” or “gushing”). This growing fascination is having a profound impact on the sex life of many men and women. Interestingly enough, men have shown a tremendous interest in female ejaculation. For many men, female ejaculation provides a new sense of eroticism that extends beyond mental intimacy. In a way, female ejaculation is the physical illustration, for them, of a job well done. There are so many different avenues of discussion that we could travel together; however, this brief article will serve as introduction to female ejaculation. I will also recount my personal experiences with female ejaculation. Yes, I am a proud squirter. And, yes, my sex life has never been better!

Female ejaculation’s place in humanity’s sexual history cannot be denied. Art work in various cultures, from the annals of history to post-modernism, provide a glimpse at feminine sexual excitement—from orgasms to gushing femininity of love. Hinduism particularly captured the art of female emission many generations ago, illustrating the process in detailed sculptures. What is apparent is that female ejaculation, though only recently discussed and investigated, has been a part of female sexuality for years in many cultures. Put simply, just because we are now discussing it, it does not follow that it’s not always been there.

Before beginning any detailed discussion of female ejaculation, the G-Spot (also termed the Grafenberg spot or Skene’s/Paraurethral glands) must be discussed. In the early 1900s, Dr. Ernst Grafenberg identified the ventral side of the vagina, which is a part of the urethral sponge, as a source of intense female sexual gratification—the spot in which female excitability is brought to life at a greater intensity. Upon stroking of this vaginal surface, women experience orgasms of a different type that are equally satisfying, or more enjoyable than, clitoral orgasms. Like the prostate gland, the G-Spot’s sensitive fibers (a bundle of nerves, it has been described) react favorably to “rubbing” or consistent, yet comfortable pressure. Knowing where to find this pleasure button and how to stimulate it factors greatly in the potential for females to orgasm and eventually ejaculate. Experiment as a couple. Or experiment with your own body solo.

Knowing the location of the G-Spot and the type of stimulation needed for total arousal is important, but it’s merely a beginning. While most of the women (myself included) I know and have talked with admit that G-Spot orgasms are their main source of female ejaculate, clitoral and cervix stimulation can also influence or force a woman to ejaculate. I have found that clitoral rubbing aids in extending female ejaculation, but I rarely ejaculate as a result of clitoral stimulation alone. Every woman is different, so getting to know your own body is part of the process and, quite frankly, an abundance of fun, especially when shared with a communicative partner who is trustworthy. Find what works best for you. Don’t place too much pressure on yourself to perform in any particular way. When you hit the right spot in the right way, you will immediately know. Practice improves frequency and intensity. If you need assistance on technique or any other relevant questions, check out Holistic Wisdom.

Female ejaculate is the most debated aspect of female ejaculation. What is this liquid? Let me dispel the notion that female ejaculate is urine—it is not urine. Testing the ejaculate has provided evidence that it contains levels of glucose (sugar) and an enzyme (prostate acid phosphatase) that is a major component in semen. Similar to the prostate fluid within male ejaculate but lacking sperm, it is clear that female ejaculate is not urine. Trace amounts of urea and creatinine are found in the liquid; however, this does not mean that female ejaculate is urine. This is further backed up by the fact that the liquid is secreted by the Skene’s glands, which are located to either side of the urethra. These are pinhole-sized glands, making it seem as if the liquid may indeed be expelled from the urethra, but rest assured it is not.

The debate rages over the exact composition of this liquid, but the general consensus is that this liquid is not urine. In my experience, when I have “squirted,” I have found no evidence of urine in my own ejaculate. After ejaculating, I have never sensed any lingering urine-like smell or stained color on the bed. The liquid is always clear, more like water than anything else. Some doctors and health practitioners have dismissed ejaculate as urine, which explains the mis-education of the public. Plus, when, as humans, we observe a fluid expelled from the same tissue that releases urine, it seems common sense to conclude that the fluid is, indeed, urine. I assure you—it’s not urine. There is a significant difference between urine and female ejaculate. If you are concerned, examine the fluid for yourself.

Since orgasmic potential varies among women, it follows that female ejaculation will be different for every woman. Some women produce a high volume of ejaculate, while others produce a limited amount. Every woman is born with the biological equipment necessary for female ejaculation. Unlocking the fountain within may be a frustrating process, but be patient. As a result of learning the secrets of female ejaculation, my orgasms have improved. They last longer, are more intense, and feel more intimate. Remember, there is nothing wrong with using the equipment biology blessed us with. There’s no shame in female ejaculation. While you and your partner might be surprised at the results, be sure to communicate with one another.

When embarking on this wet journey, VibeReview recommends that towels are used to absorb any love liquid relased. Doing so will limit the amount of clean-up necessary, and there could be a lot!

I have also a recently experienced female ejaculation much to my and my partner's surprise.
Having been with my previous partner for 22 years, I thought that I had tried and experienced almost everything my body was capable of sexually, but not so.. I am now lucky enough to be with a man 23 years my junior and after being together for about a year, I suddenly and inexplicably began to ejaculate.. and now do so 5 - 10 times just about every time we make love. Sometimes it begins only a few minutes after he enters me. I don't know why this should be, it certainly doesn't require any especially different techniques in my case,but it is as if he has unlocked something dormant within me. He finds it very erotic and its 'spurs him on' even more..resulting in even more liquid.. and as everyone else has mentioned, there is a lot of it. Sometimes the damp patch is so big I have to turn the mattress!

This web site is the first time I have investigated the subject so I am relieved to read about other women's experiences - hurray for the internet (so much less embarrassing than tentatively broaching the subject over coffee with friends) and hurray for the mysteries of the female body - just goes to show that it is possible to discover new levels of ecstasy later in life.

Ok I have done a lot of research on this subject because like most guys I find it highly erotic. My first girlfriend had the ability to ejaculate. And just to clarify this is not urine it does not smell salty nor taste that way either. She and i were together for about 4 years and I experienced this with her for the last 3 years of the relationship. I have since found that there are some keys to female ejaculation. The MOST important thing I learned is that The woman has to trust her partner sexually, and not just kind of trust him, it must be a complete trust.
Yes there is a mechanical technique to it as well. The most effective way to do this is for the man to use his finger(s) reaching deep inside with a "come hither" motion stimulating the G-spot, as he does this he should notice little bumps forming on the interior wall where the G-Spot is. Often he will not notice these bumps until after the woman has become more aroused. This is where the "super-stimulation" comes in. There are different ways to stimulate this spot, you can use a pumping motion with your fingers and at the end of every stroke your finger pushes on the spot. You can just rub the area with the end of your fingers. This is where you need to communicate with each other. Ask questions like does this feel good? how about if I go faster/slower? Do you like that? Clitoral stimulation is often helpful/needed as well. It will take some time to figure out what the woman needs from her man. The mans job through all of this is just to be present and this is important, not to be hung up on the outcome of female-ejaculation. Any pressure the man puts on the woman will just cause her to feel nevous and insecure. It's ok if she never ejaculates, this is about love an pleasure not about seeing her squirt.
That being said, in my experience ALL women are capable of ejaculating. Some squirt a lot, some just a little. But I cannot stress enough that you cannot just do the mechanical part and expect it to happen. You have to have that trust. And the man needs to be unattached to the outcome. Hope this helps to clarify the big mystery ;)

Oh and by the way, everyone wants to know if the ejaculation orgasm is better. The truth is I dont know. I've had women tell me yes it's 100 times better, and i've had women tell me that it's just a different kind of orgasm. So I guess it's like everything else in sex and relationships, it's different for every person. Oh and one more thing yes please do drink lots of water.

For anyone wanting to know more about Female ejaculation, I would reccomend the work of Steve Piccus and his White Tiger Tantra. A word of caution -- Steve Piccus is heavily involved in energy healing and is also a big name in the "pick up" community, that being said, I have found that he has done more to advance the knowledge of Female Ejaculation than any other person (my opinion only). He has worked with doctors and been involved in several studies concerning the subject.

25 years ago I dated a woman who ejaculated every time we were intimate. No penetration was needed, just clitoral stimulation. Her orgasms were extremely intense and she would "come" at least 5 times, often much more. At the time I was new to this and was told that it was sweat glands that were secreting. Today I am living with a woman who has just discovered female ejaculation and she loves it! A little nervous at first but now she can have multiple orgasms, each one lasting up to 10 minutes. It has brought us to a new level of intimacy. For those who are non-believers, too bad for you!! Try opening up your mind and trying something different.

What would the purpose of such ejaculation if it did exist? As a medical professional I am sure that female ejaculation as a sexual process does seem to be a myth, just like th "G spot" which today the medical profession 2010 has rejected. May be it does happen in some diseased women.
Why do women claim that they ejaculate? Their orgasms are very satisfactory and do not require the emission of any fluids. What would the purpose of such ejaculation if it did exist?
If it were true it could be reproduced in laboratory tests but I know of none. It is just another spin off from the movie porn industry

The best place I learned about female ejaculation is through some articles on the Holistic Wisdom site (they specialize in sexual techniques not just general information, but they get to the nitty gritty of how to do it). For a long time, until I ran into their site, I through that I had urinary incontinence. It is good to see more sites covering this topic as many women need to know that it is normal.

I agree. your husband should definitely do some reading and/or growing up, sounds like he has issues of his own to deal with. What an awful thing to say, It makes him feel gross to be covered in your FLUIDS? Does he know that happens with intercourse ANYWAY? Why should you have to try to control or prevent something that happens naturally? I would expect that kind of reaction from my high school boyfriend or something, not a grown man. You are one of the lucky gushers, embrace it! And to "sitting position" the first time I experienced a gush was in the sitting position too, but with intense foreplay not even intercourse! I find that when I squirt the amount varies, but yes sometimes it is ALOT. We have soaked thru a towel folded over 3x, then thru the comforter, down to the sheet. And it is like water, when you feel the first gush if he keeps on thrusting, you're gonna keep gushing till he stops, that's what happens to me anyway. I feel extremely dehydrated afterward, even my eyes are so dry they hurt! My boyfriend loves everything about it, the sound of how wet I get, the feeling of the pressure, and he also says it tastes sweet almost faintly like warm sugared water.. Im at a new level of sexiness that I have never felt before, I couldnt imagine my partner thinking I am gross for it... im sorry.

I guess I'm out of the loop....although I experience gushing with my husband, he does NOT find it enjoyable. He says it makes him feel gross to be covered in my fluids. It has led to a decrease in our sex life and a bit of a strain on the marriage. Any advice? Would self-stimulation decrease the possiblity of it when he stimulates me? Is there a way to control it?

omg thats so sad that u have to hold back because of him. Sheer selfishness on his part.DONT control it for him, let it run feel girl, love urself and just go with it... LET the River run free lol. As for reducing it with self pleasure, it may work but in my experience NOT.

Perhaps he should seek some information and englightenment on the subject instead of you trying to go against your bodies natural response. Imagine if you found the idea of him ejaculating digusting?
I dont encourage you controling nor preventing at all. Seems wrong.

My boyfriend and I were having sex in a sitting position. I was on top of him and at the end of the session once I was having an orgasm it literally felt like a garden hose was in my vagina exploding with pressure. I thought it was a really hard orgasm but when we stood up the tile floor was soaked. I mean, like a bucket of water tipped over. A puddle all around the area. He said he has made many girls orgasm like this ( a latin lover) lol but I am totally freaked out because its never happened to me. Help!? Advice....
