During a drunken Girl’s Night Out the topic of female ejactulation came up.
To be specific-a few of us have,during an intense orgasm,released some fluid through the urethra. I always thought it was urine and blamed my diabetes for it.
One of the Girls said no,it was female ejactulate and she’d seen it in porno movies.
So…what is it? I’ve tried emptying my bladder pre-sex but if I orgasm hard enough it happens. It doesn’t smell like urine.
HELP!

…and how YOU doin? 😉
Congratulations, m’luv…you’re a ‘squirter’!
Yes, female ejaculation IS possible. I’m not sure that EVERY woman can do it, but quite a lot seem to be able to with proper stimulation. Pretty cool, if a bit messy.

It may well be urine. Not all women can ejaculate fluid. In some cases it’s just fluids, in others it’s urine. Though, diabetes may not be to blame.
It’s a truth.

Any anatomists here? What **are** the female analogs of the prostate and Cowper’s glands? Are they functional or vestigial in women? Is there anything being made to eject in the first place? Or is this just another example of tickling so hard that they have to pee, albeit from the inside?
And what’s a nice gay boy like me doing making innuendo in a thread about female ejaculation?!

A former friend of mine claimed that she could hit the wall six feet up when she jilled off.

If you mean “can the muscles of the vagina contract so hard during a mind-scrambling orgasm that the natural lubrication is forced out?”, then the answer is **yes** - most definitely. But I don’t think squirting 6 feet is very likely - that seems really really improbable and difficult to imagine, especially based on the diameter of the orifice.

One of my lesbians friends said that in the 70s when she was on a lesbian panel people always asked ‘Is it true lesbians ejaculate?’. Then she would give a big laugh.
So Im sure its a pretty old question well answered before.

Great.
So besides the deep gutteral moaning,the screaming and the tendency to bruise whatever I’m holding on to…
I’m also peeing ☹
I feel so unladylike all of a sudden…

As far as what it is, nobody is 100% sure. All I know is that I can soak a bed and immediately afterwards, have to pee, and usually a lot. The smell has never been like pee, and I’ve been told that it sometimes has a sweet taste. And I’ve never measured distance for record, but I know that I’ve reached at over five feet, just based on where I was in relation to the wet areas on the bed and beyond the bed on the floor. Doesn’t happen all the time, but more often than not.

The ex- discovered this capacity during an intimate moment. Surprised both of us.

Just when I thought I WASN"T the High Priestess of TMI Town…
I usually get wet enough in a good round to soak where I’m laying/sitting etc.
I don’t think I’m “squirting” per se but when my orgasm reaches it’s peak-bring on the waterworks 🙂
TM…So far no one’s commented either way on the taste of it and trust me I almost drowned my old FB.

I don’t know if you definately know it’s through the urethra, or if that’s just a generic term you’re using, but the urethra is the passageway for urine and semen in males. The urinary and reproductive systems are completely different in females: urine exits through the urethra, and sexual fluids exit through the vagina. If fluid did exit from your urethra, you would probably feel pressure in your bladder and you would be able to control its exit with your external urethral sphincter. To the best of my knowledge, there is no voluntary sphincter at the end of the vagina, so fluids exit whenever they feel like it.
(I am not a doctor; just an anatomy student.)

Good point FireUnderpantsBoobs-never thought of it quite that way.

Yes, female ejactulation does happen. It’s happend to me…many times. No, it’s not pee. I don’t really know what it’s made of (the ejaculate), but I definately know it’s not urine. Hell, just enjoy it;)

My take on this is that a large perentage of women have this happen. I don’t think its necessarily related to diabetes as I have run accross more than a couple women who often left larger wet spots then lubrication could possibly account for. Its normal and nothing to worry about.
I think much of the fixation over calling this an ejaculation is about assuring women that it is ok. Who cares, its ok anyway. I have no idea why some men think its so cool except they always like to see what their toys will do. Some women do report that it feels good and I can certainly understand from a male perspective that it might create a pleasant eurethral sensation.

I have certainly seen the phenomena of fluid being squeezed from the vagina at orgasm. This isn’t what we are talking about. Some studies have used a catheter to ensure that only fluid from the eurethra was examined and I assure you that close examination has been done innumerable times. Is bladder control all that possible during an intense orgasm? It certainly doesn’t seem so.
