Alright, like 6 people sent me this today, so please take notes🗒️ "Female ejaculate" (or whatever you want to call it) is a thick whitish fluid that originates from the Skene's glands. These glands sit just under the bladder, beside the urethra, and are homologous to the male prostate. Chemical analysis of this fluid has been shown to have HIGH concentrations of PSA (prostate-specific antigen) and LOW concentrations of creatinine and uric acid (which you would normally see in urine). This fluid is secreted in small amounts, on the order of just a few mL during sexual stimulation. This is a separate substance from the normal vaginal lubrication and Bartholin gland secretions during arousal. This is also a completely separate substance from the whitish buildup that you will see coating the vagina and penis during sex, which is just an amalgamation of congealed versions of the above fluids just getting mushed together. "Squirting" is the act of expelling female ejaculate through the urethra, as well as larger amounts of diluted urine. This is what gives it its clear appearance and (obviously) where it gets its name from. This happens on the order of tens of mL, so the majority of what is expelled during squirting is dilute urine, and only a small fraction of that is female ejaculate. A study published in the International Journal of Urology in 2022 specifically investigated this (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ij…). The researchers inserted a catheter into five women in their 30's-50's and drained their bladders to empty. They then injected a small amount saline dyed blue back into the bladders, and provided sexual stimulation in order to achieve squirting. In all of the subjects, the fluid that was discharged was blue. Chemical analysis supports this too, with most of this fluid being composed of creatinine, urea, and other compounds you would expect to see from urine. tl;dr - Female ejaculate is a substance (3mL) made from the Skene's gland, akin to a female prostate. - Squirting = expelling this substance, mixed with a larger amount of dilute urine (10mL) through the urethra. - This is in contrast to how men ejaculate, where sperm, seminal fluid, and the resulting semen are all made in-house (the testicles, prostate, etc.) and are expelled through the urethra without any input from the bladder (preventing urine from entering the urethra during ejaculation is a function of the prostate).
