I don’t understand these sentences in the wiki article: “Skene’s glands have highly variable anatomy, and in some extreme cases they appear to be absent entirely.” Especially this one: “If Skene’s glands are the cause of female ejaculation and G-Spot-orgasms, this may explain the absence in many women.” Does this mean that the likely-hood of squirting also depends on the type of orgasm that a woman has? G-Spot vs let’s say… via stimulation of the clitoris alone? I’ve read the sentence more than once and I am still unsure of what it means! :smack: Why would some women have this gland and not others? Interesting…I think I have Skene’s Gland envy 🙂 ---

What it means is that some women have this gland in different places, and so might have it in a place which isn’t readily stimulated from inside the vagina. If it’s present and stimulatable, then that’s the G-spot, but if it isn’t present, or is located in such a way that it’s not easily stimulatable, then that woman won’t be able to find the G-spot. **pkbites** , how did the taste of the liquid compare to that of male semen? ---

Although I never conducted a scientific study, I can personally give assurances that this phenomenon does indeed exist and that the fluid in question is definitely not urine. I personally always enjoyed it when I came across (pun intended) a squirter; they always seemed so much more lively, and there was never any question about faked orgasms. ---

I’ve always wondered: where does this liquid exit the body from? The urethra? ---

AaronX: Post #17 links to a page with a diagram. Looks for “Skene’s gland” on the diagram. ---

Oh thanks, didn’t see that the first time. So they have their own opening? Doesn’t seem likely that it’s pee then. ---

Hmmm… You’ve never kissed her after you’ve, uh… um… well… 😕 (you know what I’m trying to say.) And vice versa? For the sake of science, I will relate that (my) semen has either a slightly salty taste, or no taste whatsoever. (Dependant upon substances eaten preceding sex.) Hers is tasteless, 100% of the time. (We’re both in agreement on these statements.) > [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > Although I never conducted a scientific study, I can personally give assurances that this phenomenon does indeed exist and that the fluid in question is definitely not urine.

At least not to what I can recall. 3+ decades is a long time to remember every moment. Continuing with the thread “squirt” (for lack of a better term) in my experience tends to come out in one splash. Even in the times when it’s just a couple of drops it usually does not come out in a straight line like some porn videos I’ve…heard about. Those are most likely fake and probably urine. "Squirt’ comes out in one big splash or a couple of smaller ones in unison with the contractions of orgasm. And usually the upper wall of the vagina has been stimulated by either the finger or penis. The exception is I have a friend who had a woman he would refer to as “gusher”. According to him she squirted profoundly each and every time she came even if there was no penetration inside her. The fact that he told all his buds about this is very ungentlemanly and TMI! (The Most Interesting!) ---

(The Most Interesting!) Hell, if I had a GF/wife with this, I’d be telling passerby & fellow church-goers! Hmmm, maybe that explains my lack of GF/wife, tho I suspect if I did, she’d be telling them too.
