“…25], remain rudimentary throughout life resembling morphologically and immunohistochemically the immature male fetal and prepubertal prostate glands, they apparently fulfill no significant bio logical function. This, in our opinion, still holds true despite reports [26][27][28] about an ejaculation from the ure thra during orgasm in some women including a demon stration of PAP within the secretion expelled [28].…”

“…Five studies show the majority of women's ejaculate shows zero or low levels of urea and creatinine, and also test positive for PAP and higher rates of glucose or fructose (Addiego et al 1981;Belzer et al 1984;Zaviacic 1984aZaviacic , 1984bZaviacic et al 1988). Results have been mixed in other studies (Goldberg et al 1983), leaving us without definitive explanations for the sources or composition of ejaculate fluid.…”

Women’s Experiences of Female Ejaculation

Thirteen women responded to an open-ended questionnaire about their female ejaculation experiences. Responses are described from a phenomenological perspective. The major themes of responses include feelings of humiliation and shame or feelings of exploration and wonder, moving towards acceptance or acceptance tinged with resignation. Women explain their relationships to their bodies as well as their relationship to the ejaculation fluids and how this affects their sexual identities. The origins of their sexual fluids are mysterious. The stimulation needed for ejaculation differed among respondents, and was also found to occur separately from orgasm for some women. Ejaculation began at one of two distinct time points in the life course. This study supports the existence of female ejaculation as a common experience for some women, and proposes new areas for further exploration.Keywords Ejaculation Á Women's sexuality Á Sexual fluid Á Women Á Female prostate Á Phenomenology Á Orgasm Á G-spot Á Multiple orgasm Á Female sexual experience Female ejaculation has been defined previously as the ''expulsion of fluid from the urethra'' during sexual arousal (Whipple and Komisaruk 1999). The topic of female ejaculation has a contentious history in modern sexology. There has been considerable debate as to whether the phenomena exists, the organs or physiological structures involved in the fluid's creation and expulsion, and the makeup of the fluid. Upon researching the topic it becomes obvious that voices are missing from this debate: the women themselves speaking about the nature of their experience.

“…Researchers have found prostate-specific antigen (PSA), confirming the relationship of Skene's glands with the male prostate, but it appears in varying quantities, as do glucose, prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), urea, and creatinine [5,6]. The variable distributions of these substances in different women reflect significant differences in their vaginal and urogenital anatomy.…”

“…Instead, she is typical of the majority of women who do not ejaculate with orgasm. On the other hand, it is important to understand that FE fluid is not necessarily urine and that the fluid is likely similar to seminal fluid [5][6][7]. A woman or her partner who might be alarmed at the production or emission of fluid during arousal or orgasm should be reassured that it is neither pathological nor unhygienic but rather a perfectly healthy and normal response to sexual stimulation.…”

Female ejaculation has been a topic of debate for more than 50 years. Although there have been many anecdotal reports of expulsion of liquid from the female prostate, rigorous and large-scale studies demonstrating either the existence of the female prostate or the confirmation and nature of the ejaculate have been largely lacking. However, recent careful investigations have confirmed both the existence of semen-like liquid emission and the existence of the female prostate (Skene's glands) as its primary source.
