Female Ejaculation: Fact or Fiction?
There is a great deal of controversy over whether or not women have the capacity to ejaculate like their male counterparts. Even those who believe women can ejaculate sometimes disagree about just how much liquid can be expelled--from a few milliliters to a several cups!
Here's what we do know: during stimulation of the G-spot area (inside on the front wall of the vagina, up two inches toward the belly-button) with two fingers in a "come hither" motion, some women feel intense pressure--like the need to urinate.
For some, prolonged stimulation in this way (it can take 20 minutes or more) results in a level of lubrication (and pleasure) not normally experienced during other sexual activities.
It can take a fair bit of pressure to stimulate the G-spot, but you'll know you are in the right place when the area starts to feel ridged, like the roof of your mouth.
Where does the liquid come from?
The ejaculate largely comes from the Skene's glands that open up into the urethra (partially explaining the feeling of needing to urinate). The liquid is similar to prostate fluid in a male; in fact, the Skene's glands are also known as the female prostate or paraureathral glands.
Studies have shown that female ejaculate is different from urine, although it may contain trace amounts as the ejaculate passes through the urethra.
Many scientists believe all women have the capacity to expel liquid during orgasm, but that women will vary in how much.
The most important thing is for you to understand and appreciate your own sexual response. If you ejaculate--embrace it! What a powerful release you are experiencing! If you don't, but would like to give it a shot, experiment with G-spot stimulation. Involve your partner or a toy.
Liberator gear can help you get into position--try reclining on the Ramp or bend over the Wedge and ask your partner to stimulate you. And don't worry, the Microfiber covers are washable and you can order replacement covers in different colors.
