International online survey: female ejaculation has a positive impact on women's and their partners' sexual lives

Abstract

What's known on the subject? and What does the study add?• Genital secretions during female orgasm (female ejaculation) have been a matter of controversy for centuries. Scientific work on this essential part of female sexual function has been able to differentiate between female ejaculation, urinary incontinence and vaginal transudate. According to earlier studies, less than 50% of women actually do ejaculate during sexual stimulation. Few affected women discuss female ejaculation with their physician -partly because of its physiological nature, partly through embarrassment.• To gain knowledge on the characteristics of female ejaculation and its impact on women's sexual lives, an online questionnaire has been designed and published internationally. In this way, data from 320 women who perceive ejaculation could be acquired. Most women and their partners perceive female ejaculation as an enrichment of their sexual lives. Objective• To study characteristics of female ejaculation as perceived by healthy women.• To evaluate whether fluid emission during sexual activity has an impact on women's or their partners' sexual lives. Materials and Methods• An online questionnaire consisting of 23 questions addressing the participants' characteristics, aspects of perceived female ejaculation, and its impact on women's and their partners' lives was published internationally on various online platforms. Results• Over a period of 18 months, 320 women from all over the world were included in the study (excluding women below the age of 18 years and double entries).• The women's mean age was 34.1 years (Ϯ11.1) and their mean age at first ejaculation was 25.4 years.• Most women ejaculate a few times a week. The volume of ejaculation is approximately 2 oz (29.1%), and the fluid is usually clear as water (83.1%).• For most women (78.8%) and their partners (90.0%), female ejaculation is an enrichment of their sexual lives, whereas 14 women (4.4%) stated that their partners were unaware of their potential ejaculation. Conclusions• Perceived female ejaculation -and its onset -occurs in women of all ages.• Most women who ejaculate do so on a regular basis.• Female ejaculation is an enrichment of the sexual lives of women as well as their partners.

A Meta-Analysis Detailing Overall Sexual Function and Orgasmic Function in Women Undergoing Midurethral Sling Surgery for Stress Incontinence

“…Immunohistochemical studies of periurethral female prostatic tissue have reported positive staining for prostate-specific antigen, prostate-specific alkaline phosphatase, and androgen receptor, consistent with female prostatic tissue. Perineal ultrasound and biochemical studies of female ejaculate in those women who have noted small volumes of fluid expulsion during orgasm have confirmed that the ejaculated fluid is rich in prostate-specific antigen and poor in creatinine and therefore biochemically similar to male ejaculate 7, 8. This is to be distinguished from large-volume “squirters” during orgasm, which is biochemically shown to be more consistent with urine 7, 8…”

“…Some women can distinguish among orgasm types and achieve sexual satisfaction from one or another type of orgasm 9, 10. However, there is a subgroup of women in whom stimulation specifically of the anterior vaginal wall adjacent to the periurethral female prostate can lead to orgasm and small-volume ejaculation, independent of clitoral stimulation 7, 8…”

Que sait-on des femmes fontaines et de l’éjaculation féminine en 2015 ?

“…Les ré ponses concernant l'origine du liquide sont trè s varié es et peu de femmes connaissent la nature du fluide. Prè s de 80 % des femmes interrogé es confessent que leur vie sexuelle a é té amé lioré e aprè s les premiè res é missions fontaines, alors que prè s de 10 % y voit plutôt un problè me ou une pathologie [32].…”

“…Dans l'é tude de Wimpissinger et al, les femmes fontaines rapportent que 90 % de leurs partenaires ont une attitude plutô t positive concernant ce phé nomè ne (avec bien sû r un biais de recrutement), 4,4 % ne sont pas au courant, 5 % sont indiffé rents et seul 0,6 % ont une vision plutô t né gative du phé nomè ne [32]. Il n'existe aucune é tude publié e s'inté ressant directement aux hommes concernant leur vé cu ou leur ressenti.…”
