Can a Women Ejaculate?

There have been many claims about female ejaculation, but this was always dismissed as urination during intercourse.

 

More recent evidence has found that higher levels of a compound, prostatic acid phosphatase, has been found in patients who claim to have female ejaculation.  This compound is also found in high levels in male ejaculate and originates in the
prostate.


Researchers have taken an anatomic approach to the issue of prostatelike components in female ejaculate. They believe that if women ejaculate a fluid that is not urine, then it must be coming from someplace other than the bladder. The most likely source was thought to be the female paraurethral glands or Skene’s glands. Autopsy tests of Skene’s glands have found substances identical to those found in the prostate. Some experts now call these glands the female prostate.

 

So, it seems highly likely that some women can, in fact, ejaculate, but causing that to happen may be as tough as finding the G-spot.
