Female ejaculation refers to the expulsion of fluid from the urethra during orgasm. The paraurethral/skenes gland also referred to as the G-spot produces female ejaculate fluid. These glands open into the urethra. During sexual stimulation they swell and fill with fluid. The muscle contractions during orgasm force the fluid into the urethra causing the ejaculation or expulsion of the fluids.
Female ejaculation is not a new phenomenon. For centuries there have been reports of the expulsion of fluid from the vagina during sexual arousal and orgasm. The Greek philosopher Aristotle wrote about these expulsions. There are also several references in classical literature to the emission of fluids from the vagina during sexual arousal.
Until relatively recently women were not supposed to really enjoy sex or encouraged to be in touch with their bodies sexual desires. Their husbands usually ridiculed women who squirted. Who mistakenly thought the fluid was urine. Misinformed gynecologists and doctors contributed the squirting orgasms to weak bladder control and urinary incontinence. Some women have felt extremely self-conscious when the fluids suddenly and unexpectedly released. Thinking the may have uncontrollably peed themselves during orgasm. This is clearly not the case.
The elusive female ejaculation or squirting orgasm has been a very controversial topic. Many people have never even heard of it. Some medical professionals deny that such a thing even exists, others agree that it happens but are unsure of its causes. Still others continue to contribute female ejaculation to weak bladder or incontinence. Doctors do not examine women when they are sexually aroused, nor do they attempt to stimulate their patients. Therefore the amount of medical research is limited.
Female ejaculation is steeped in myth and mystery. However there is no denying that many women experience this wonderful aspect of their
sexuality.
