A major area of continued controversy and debate
among sex researchers, gynecologists and sex educators has been
and continues to be the question of the phenomenon known as "female
ejaculation." The current study was an exploratory research
experiment designed to provide information about this issue by catheterizing
seven women, who reported that they regularly expelled fluid during
sensual and/or sexual arousal. The paper itself includes an extensive
review of previous research in the areas of female ejaculation,
the G-Spot, and the urethral glands and ducts. Also discussed are
the relevant social issues and how they interact with the biological
questions.
Evidence from various studies of live subjects,
involving in total less than fifty women, had shown, at least in
these subjects, that what was being considered was a urethral expulsion.
However, with the total number of women studied being so small,
it was impossible to rule out the possibility that some woman somewhere
is expelling fluid other than through the urethra. While the current
experiment, based upon a review of previous studies, focused on
the nature, composition and source of female urethral expulsions
during sensual arousal, this researcher was certainly open to observing,
capturing and analyzing any expulsions other than from the urethra.
With catheterization, the bladder could be isolated
from the urethra so that it could be reliably determined which fluids
came from which area. The fluids obtained could then be analyzed
for their individual composition, having lessened the possibility
that they had been mixed in the urethra.
The entire experiment was videotaped with a
medical doctor and/or a registered nurse present at all times. The
overall environment was designed to be as comfortable and natural
as possible for the women subjects in order to increase the probability
that there would be fluid to be collected.

The primary conclusion from the experiment was
that almost all the fluid expelled from these seven women unquestionably
came from their bladders. Even though their bladders had been drained,
they still expelled from 50 ml to 900 ml of fluid through the tube
and into the catheter bag. The only reasonable conclusion would
be that the fluid came from a combination of residual moisture in
the walls of the bladder and from post draining kidney output.
There was also a consistency of results that
showed a greatly reduced concentration of the two primary components
of urine, urea and creatinine, in the expelled fluid. A review of
previous literature leads to an inference that it is possible that
the expelled fluid is an altered form of urine and that there may
be a chemical process that goes on during sexual stimulation and
excitement that changes the composition of urine.
On four occasions the research team saw evidence
of milky-white, mucous-like emissions from the urethra outside of
the catheter tube. Although three of those emissions were recorded
by the video cameras, the research team was only able to capture
a small portion of the fluid for laboratory analysis. An objective
reading of the previous literature indicated the possibility of
such an emission from the urethral glands and ducts.
In the past, the assumption has been that female
urethral expulsions during sensual and/or sexual activity originated
either in the bladder or from the urethral glands
and ducts. The current study, which documented expulsions originating
in the bladder, also indicated the possibility that, in some women,
there may also be an emission from the urethral glands and ducts.
That possibility seems promising enough to encourage future researchers
to employ methodology similar to this study to resolve this age
old controversy.
