Female Ejaculation

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012

Female Ejaculation has intrigued and eluded humanity for centuries. In ancient Rome female ejaculate was equally as important as male semen in creating the “liquid of life” during reproduction. Cultures in ancient India referred to female ejaculate as  “The Nectar of the Gods” while women in 16-18th century Japan often owned decorative bowls specifically for catching female ejaculate, which was known for its anti-aging properties when drank.

Scientifically, female ejaculation has not been studied very in-depth. The research that does exist suggests that the ejaculate is a clear alkaline fluid that contains glucose (a sugar) and prostate-specific androgen, which was for a long time thought to be produced only in the male prostate (hence the name). It is not urine, although it contains trace amounts of urea and creatinine, and is expelled from the Skene’s glands as opposed to the urethra (where pee comes from).

Not all women can ejaculate, some women ejaculate very little, and others ejaculate internally rather than squirting externally. Because of the variation between women’s instances of ejaculation, current statistics about the percentage of women who ejaculate vary greatly between 6% and 40%, while some people claim that 100% of women have the potential to ejaculate. If you are interested in exploring female ejaculation, here are a few things to consider.

Explore Your Body
Many women are hesitant to ejaculate because the sensation closely resembles that of having to urinate and they are embarrassed or nervous to pee everywhere. One way to combat this is to explore female ejaculation without a partner. An important step when exploring female ejaculation is to relax and be alone to allow for exploration of your body without added pressure to perform.  

Another thing to remember about female ejaculation is that it is often easier to achieve for some women after being very turned on. To get warmed up, try taking a relaxing bath with a waterproof vibrator or touching yourself while reading erotica. Get your body and mind excited about the different sensations and fantasies rather than focusing on orgasms or ejaculating. Just enjoy the experience and the stimulation moment by moment.
          
Now that you’re feeling sexy, it’s time to find your G-Spot. Many women achieve ejaculation through heavy G-Spot pressure or massage. For self-stimulation, choose a vibrator or dildo with a curve or ridge, such as the popular Lelo Gigi or Njoy Pure Wand, that allows you to reach the inner part of your vagina, which is prime territory for the G-Spot. Try different movements and positions to find what feels good and comfortable for you.

Invite Your Partner
If you want to try female ejaculation with a partner, keep in mind where the G-Spot is located. Rear-entry positions and women on bottom positions in which her hips are tilted up are good for hitting the G-Spot.  A couples’ vibrator such as the We-Vibe III applies pressure on the G-spot before and during penetration while increasing arousal through vibration.  And don’t forget the lube!

If you are nervous about the sensation of peeing or want to avoid the clean-up, a good way to experiment with female ejaculation is in the bath or shower where flowing water seems natural. Also, a waterproof blanket, such as the Luscious Sex Blanket, allows you to get into your most comfortable position and keep your sheets or couch dry and is machine washable.

For more information, there are educational books and videos, such as Female Ejaculation and the G-Spot by Deborah Sundahl or Maximizing G-Spot Pleasures. 

G-Spot massage can be a very intense and seemingly long process. Just remember to take your time and enjoy the experience. If ejaculation happens, it happens. In the end you still get heavily stimulated and learn more about your body and capabilities.
