During an orgasm, some women release a more or less significant quantity of fluid from the genital area. This ejaculation is different from that experienced by squirting women. How does it occur? What are the signs ? Should we be worried?
Definition: what is female ejaculation?
Female ejaculation is theemission of a fluid that a woman can secrete during sexual intercourse. This is a discharge of a small quantity of whitish liquid.
What are the differences between female ejaculation and female ejaculation?
It’s necessary differentiate female ejaculation from fountain womanwhich designates a physiological phenomenon resulting in the expulsion of a very large quantity of a colorless, odorless and tasteless fluid before and/or during a Orgasm. “A woman presenting this ejaculatory phenomenon is commonly called a fountain woman but that’s not entirely accurate due to the origin of the secretions emitted. It’s an experience that some women have and others don’t.”underlines Sandra Saint-Aimé, clinical sexologist.
During the pre-orgasmic or orgasmic period, a woman can therefore secrete a tasteless, odorless and colorless liquid. A fountain woman can lose up to 200 milliliters of this liquid, the appearance of which is identical to that of water. This phenomenon can occur several times during sexual intercourse and is sometimes felt by the woman like loss of urine.
What causes female ejaculation?
This liquid, released during female ejaculation, is produced by glands located on either side of the urethra (external part of the urinary system conduit) and called Skene glandsor paraurethral glands.
“This is in no way an anomaly”
Concerning the female ejaculation of a fountain woman, it seems that this orgasm is mainly triggered by G-spot stimulation. The excitation of the G-spot would in fact stimulate the urethra under the bladder, and would result in expulsion in several jets, which could range from a few drops to more than 200 ml. Part of the liquid would thus come from the bladder, but it’s not urine. “These are two different secretions since they are not produced in the same place but can be secreted during the same sexual intercourse.”
Should you be worried about female ejaculation?
“This is in no way an anomaly,” reassures Sandra Saint-Aimé. Female ejaculation is therefore not nevermind, and certainly not a medical problem. Moreover, there is no no treatment to reduce or eliminate this ejaculation. If the situation is experienced with difficulty and becomes disabling for the woman and her partner, it is better to consult a sexologist-clinician to discuss it. Indeed, this debacle of liquid can be very difficult for some women, which has a significant impact on their sexual lives and sometimes even psychological problems. “Some women may feel embarrassed, even ashamed, when faced with this little-known and yet natural physiological functioning. We often tend to be afraid of what we do not know. So it is very important to know where to go to find relevant information on sexuality, at the risk of developing complexes or other dysfunctions in our sexual life that we could avoid”, summarizes Sandra Saint-Aimé. “You should not keep the concerns you may have to yourself, it is better to consult to be able to talk about them.”
