So I just finished reading “Why is the penis shaped like that?” and one chapter was devoted to female ejaculation (and more specifically whether it has an adaptive evolutionary function). Anyway, according to Jesse and his research on this topic, there hasn’t been any new conclusive research on what female ejaculate actually IS for 20 years. I was honestly shocked but also curious? This book was published in 2012 so surely there was something around now that could tell me what female ejaculate is?
I’ve done a good long search into this and I’ve not come up with many results. Not only do we seem to not know where female ejaculate is formed or what it’s for, but there’s also no name for it? Scientifically anyway. I guess you could also coin the term as ‘squirting’.
“The release of fluid (not urine) from the urethra that can occur with any orgasm, but is often associated with g-spot orgasm. The fluid is most likely secreted by the Skene’s glands located near the urethra.” – Play Safe
What I did find is that there is a LOT of discussion on this topic, but just no bloody answers!! I found an article from Cosmopolitan where a bunch of women discussed their own experiences with squirting. An article discussing whether you can teach yourself to squirt or not. There was an article with some scientific data on female ejaculate. Even the Sydney Morning Herald wanted in on the conversation!
Though, as mentioned in The Journal of Sexual Medicine (2015):
“To date, both the nature and the origin of squirting remain controversial.”
I just have so many questions!!! What IS female ejaculate? Why don’t we have a name for it? (Ejillculate?) What do you think? Tell me your thoughts and please do share any other information you might have on the issue!!
