“…Pelvic floor muscle exercises (PFME) have been shown in a small number of studies to improve orgasmic potential in non‐orgasmic women with poor pelvic muscle tone, 7,8 and more recently to improve sexual desire, performance and achievement of orgasm 9 . However, the theory that increased pelvic muscle tone causes increased congestion and lubrication of the pelvic area, which may in turn improve the quality of sexual sensation, has been debated in the past and some studies have concluded no positive relationship between pelvic muscle strength and sexual satisfaction 10–12 …”

“…Sexual medicine specialists who are familiar with women who ejaculate have been given descriptions of ‘wet sheets’ after an orgasm . Several studies on this subject have led to the exclusion of urinary incontinence as the source of female ejaculation . On the other hand, urinary incontinence during sexual intercourse is an underdiagnosed phenomenon, especially in older women .…”

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.

“…The present study emphasizes the importance of adjustment for age in testing relations between PFD and PLBP, since age turns out to be a confounding variable for the older women (40-50 years). Confounding of age was expected since loss of pelvic muscle control [18] and strength [19] is demonstrated in older women. Indeed, the present study shows a shorter endurance time in older women measured with EMG, relative to younger women.…”

“…The occurrence of PFD in PLBP patients might well be influenced by age because of the negative relationship between strength of voluntary pelvic muscle contractions and increase of age in women [18,19]. In addition, the occurrence of PDF can also be influenced by vaginal delivery because of the linear relationship between number of vaginal births and weaker voluntary contractions of the pelvic floor muscles [20,21].…”

Relations between pregnancy-related low back pain, pelvic floor activity and pelvic floor dysfunction

et al. 2005

To assess the occurrence of pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) in pregnancy- related low back and pelvic pain (PLBP) patients, a cross-sectional study was performed, comprising 77 subjects. Each subject underwent physical assessment, and filled in the Urogenital Distress Inventory completed with gynaecological questions. Differences in the presence of PFD between PLBP patients and healthy controls as well as differences in pelvic floor muscle activity were tested for significance. Interaction by age and vaginal delivery were tested. PFD occurred in 52% of all PLBP patients, significantly more than in the healthy control group. In PLBP patients a significantly increased activity of the pelvic floor muscles could be demonstrated with respect to healthy controls. The occurrence of PFD and PLBP was influenced by a confounding effect of age. Clinicians should be aware of the relation between PLBP and PFD and hence address both problems at the same time.
