As I said in the IMHO thread, I was involved with a woman who made instructional videos on female ejaculation–some graphic content, of course, but also lots of talking, anatomy diagrams, personal interviews and anecdotes (from different, everyday women), etc. There wasn’t a time we were together that she didn’t ejaculate at least once, though she was a squirter, often drenching my face and glasses from as much as two feet away. All the other ejaculating women I’ve been with were gushers (volume)–often thanks to her video, which I’d been known to gift on occasion.
It was definitely not pee, though she said that one of the reasons it doesn’t occur more frequently in women is that some of the same pelvic muscles are involved, so women will often fend off their ejaculation because it feels like they’re going to pee, though they really aren’t. As for how recent a phenomenon it allegedly is, she talked about how it dovetailed with women becoming more familiar with their bodies. The Female Orgasm, the G-Spot, self-exploration, toys and masturbation aids, etc. are all subjects that were for decades never seriously discussed in sex ed, rarely handed down from mother to daughter, and were generally not considered socially acceptable topics for discussion. It’s something she said most women are capable of, but often with practice, focus, and trial & error (since women’s paths to climax will vary quite a bit from individual to individual).
I’ve had some training in tantric exercises, so I’ve learned how to have an orgasm without ejaculating. It’s not better, just very different–but still undeniably an O. She said it’s the same with female ejaculation–the O isn’t necessarily better or stronger, it’s just that it drains the body (figuratively & literally) in a different way. However, like my exercises or her instructions, both are an ability that came through lots of experimentation with touch, response, and a little trial & error. With her, not all her orgasms squirted, and in fact, the most satisfying O she said she had were the ones from penetration after her squirt, since so many of her muscles and nerve endings were already highly activated by then. Also, unlike a lot of women, who can come clitorally and don’t need penetration, those who can ejaculate (whether naturally or through practice) usually need some kind of penetration–be it toy, fingers, or phallus.
I can’t speak medically to where the ejaculate comes from, but the taste has always been completely consistent with oral stimulation and the scent, look, and viscosity completely different from urine. I remember once, a few months after giving a friend the tape, she told me she had a surprise for me. She was on top and we were going at it, but at one point, she dismounted and just straddled my body so I could watch–and she came and came and came (she was still stimulating her clit as this happened). It was like a waterfall and really defied belief, but it was an amazing, exciting thing to witness and she said that she’d been practicing, listening to her body and getting good at knowing how her body responded to make it happen. It also completely wiped her out, because it was pretty new for her (the one who did the instructional videos considered squirting foreplay to the Main Event).
I’ve had women ejaculate while I was inside them and others who (from prolonged digital playtime) would flow like a river once they were going, and I’ve never once doubted what it was (the way it stains the sheets and furniture alone is also different from pee). The only times I’ve ever heard of skeptics are from those who haven’t seen or experienced it firsthand. I know there are plenty of stories about how porn will often stack the deck by contriving situations for maximum visual effect, even if it’s not “real.” And I’ve even read of porn stars who, having never done it, just dismiss it as fake or urine or some other behind-the-scenes bait & switch.
But I’ve seen the real deal enough to be a True Believer.
