Not true. There appears to be no difference as to your gender in ability to produce and/or smell the odor of used asparagus.

many women who do not experience female ejaculation nonetheless feel a strong need to empty their bladder after orgasm, suggesting that orgasm (or sex?) causes fluid to collect in the bladder at an abnormal rate. In fact, many men also feel the need to urinate shortly after orgasm.
While only a small number of women are female ejaculators, is it possible that all or most women produce this mysterious ejaculate in the bladder, and that only a few are able to expel the fluid during sex?
If the above is correct, female ejaculation could be taught to women who don’t experience it. Also, what function does this fluid serve? Is it, e.g., to clean out the urethra and prevent bladder infections?

The purpose of an orgasm should not be to squirt all over the place, the purpose of an orgasm should be to have a friggin’ orgasm!!
(By the by, I did take a quick slurp at my pee… and, well, it don’t taste good, so I’m never doing it again.)
I vote for truth.
I have one question…how can a thread like this, a simple question that was answered in the first 10 or so replies, get this big? I think it is closing in on 50 replies, and that just seems stupid
[sub]not that me posting this useless reply makes anything better ;)[/sub]
it’s called ongoing discussion on a topic that is not terribly well entrenched in popular knowledge. While there is a fair amount of stupidity in this particular discussion, there are also legitimate questions. I stick to mine, posted a couple of entries above and not yet answered!
Almost everything to do with our bodies serves some sort of function. For example, female orgasm causes the cervix to dip repeatedly down into the semen that a male has deposited in the vagina, presumably increasing chances of fertilization. Likewise, I suspect that female ejaculation may serve some similar purpose-- I just have never come across any discussion of the evolutionary benefits of female ejaculation, so I am curious. I very much doubt that human females developed and retained the ability to orgasm and ejaculate for no reason at all.

I feel the need to interject a short, oversimplified anatomy lesson here. Males have one tube through the penis that is connected to the testicles and the bladder. Sperm from the testicles - along with added juices from other glands along the way - becomes semen and is ejected in ejaculation. When this is going on, there is a valve that closes off the bladder. Urine and semen do not travel down this tube at the same time. Women, in contrast, have two completely different tubes and openings - the vagina and the urethra (which connects to the bladder). The openings are near each other, but are not connected.
…um… I’ve got an mpeg I can email if anyone is interested…
There’s a Canadian sex expert named Sue Johanson who has a late night show Sunday that is, oddly enough, called the Sunday Night Sex Show. It’s on the WTN.
In it, among many other things, she takes calls throughout the show from people with sexual questions. It’s a really interesting show, and Sue really knows what she’s talking about.
Last night, this came up.
A caller called in and said that if her lover puts her hips on pillows, raising them up, when they were making love, she has these amazing orgasms. She almost passes out from their intensity. However, she leaves a lot of liquid (“not quite a cup, but close”) on the bed when she has these orgasms. She was wondering if she was urinating.
Sue’s answer was that she should smell it the next time it happens. If it doesn’t smell like urine, is clear and odourless, then she has had a g-spot orgasm.
Unfortunately, Sue didn’t explain it further. She just said that if it’s that, this girl should just lie back and enjoy. However, Sue uses diagrams and such on the show, so if any Doper should want to enquire further, I’m sure she’d explain it in detail.
What?? No, sorry, I’d be willing to leave it as a mystery rather than call in to ask about it on national television.
umm, Whammo, you wanna post that mpeg somewhere?
Sure, you can’t confuse the urethra with the vagina. The vagina, as we know, is self-cleaning, so it’s OK. To my limited knowledge, however, the only way the urethra can clean itself is by passing fluid from the bladder through it to wash out little critters before they do any damage. Because the female urethra is so short and is located extremely close to the vagina, it is not uncommon for contamination to occur during sex, what with all those nasty bacteria in our nether regions (I understand this is why ladies suffer from bladder infections at a much greater rate than men).
If the fluid build-up in the bladder of female non-ejaculators after sex is the same kind that is released by female ejaculators, then we are talking about the same mechanism with presumably the same purpose: hypothetically, that is cleansing the urethra to prevent infection. At any rate, this would suggest that all or most women are ejaculators, but that only a few are able to ejaculate during sexual intercourse.
Does anyone know anything about this stuff? It seems to make sense to me, but I have never heard or read anything about it.
