Female Ejaculate: Is it urine? What is female ejaculationPetra Zebroff2023-04-06T05:32:43+00:00

We are all pretty used to male ejaculate (aka “cum”). Female ejaculate, however, is another story. Men see their own on a regular basis, at the moment of orgasm or on their partner’s body after sex or a sock/towel after masturbation.

Women often see male ejaculate during oral sex or somewhere on their body or sheets after sex.  And we all see it in almost any scene in adult movies, commonly called the ‘money shot’ because an adult film does not make money without it.  There is even a genre dedicated to men showing off their life-giving liquid to one central lady who is happily lapping it up – called bukkake.

In other words, male ejaculate is a known, vital and lively substance.

Women’s (female ejaculate), on the other hand, is a much more debated substance.  Some say it is made up of urine, others say it is made of prostatic fluid (just like men’s ejaculate minus the semen) and still others say it doesn’t even exist.

Female Ejaculate: Urine or not urine?
Squirting, or female ejaculation, is the expulsion of an amount of fluid during sexual arousal. There has been much debate over whether the fluid that spurts or seeps out of the urethral opening is actually urine.  Analysis of the thicker ejaculate has found only small traces of urine in the fluid (similar to what is found in male ejaculate), in quantities that make sense if it were picking it up as it moves through the lower portion of the urethra.

More reasons we know female ejaculate is not urine.

  • The practical test: it does not look or smell like urine.
  • Extensive analysis of the liquid shows it to be dissimilar to urine.
  • Women who ejaculate tend to have strong PC muscles and no sign of incontinence in their regular lives.  In other words there is no reason for ejaculating women to be urinating during orgasm.

 

So, what is female ejaculate made of then?

Many studies (starting in 1981), show the biochemical makeup of female ejaculate to have a the major components of male ejaculate (without the sperm) including:

  • High concentration of prostate specific antigen (PSA)
  • Prostatic acidic phosphate (PAP)
  • Prostate specific acid phosphatase (PSAP)
  • Glucose

It has been suggested that there are two types of ejaculate.   One is thinner in consistency and associated with the more voluminous “gushing” or “squirting.”  And the other, a thicker, whiter fluid that is associated with the less obvious “seeping” or “eking.”  With the latter mimicking male prostatic fluid.

These two may be different in their makeup, with the latter being considered ‘female ejaculate’. Recent studies (Pastor et al., 2022) separates these two types of “ejaculation” by where they come from and what they are made of. A new study suggests that the “squirting” style of female ejaculation does come from the bladder and contains some components of urine.

“At present, SQ (squirting) is considered as a transurethral expulsion of approximately 10 milliliters or more of transparent fluid, while FE (female ejaculation) is considered as a secretion of a few milliliters of thick fluid. The fluid in SQ is similar to urine and is expelled by the urinary bladder. The secretion in FE originates from the paraurethral glands and contains a high concentration of prostate-specific antigen.

The jury is still out on the relevance of these studies with small samples (eg. only 7 women), and the push back from many women who say their experience of squirting does not match up with this explanation. In other words, we need more data.

But, are we asking the right question? 

Whether female ejaculate is chemically made up of the components of urine or not, is not the right question.  A better question would be, what do people ‘experience’ with female ejaculation? Anecdotal evidence from women who “squirt,” and the men who are with women who squirt, still say that the fluid does not smell or look like urine.  One lesbian sex therapist who squirts told us, “it smells and tastes like a woman, not urine. Isn’t that what is important?”

Many women ejaculate. Do we really want women to stop enjoying their pleasurable experiences such as orgasms because they are afraid it might contain some pee? We don’t seem to have the same concern with men’s ejaculate.

Many women already have trouble reaching orgasm.  Let’s not add another self-conscious concern to the list.

Why do women ejaculate?

One theory is that female ejaculate may have anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Substances that are found in female ejaculate, such as zinc, are known to help guard the delicate genital tissues against infection.

What does female ejaculate look like?

The fluid that is ejaculated is clear or white, that looks quite different urine.  For some it has been compared to fat-free milk in consistency, while for others describe it as thicker and white.

What does female ejaculate smell and taste like?

The fluid that is ejaculated has little smell or taste. A while it may have a faint smell of urine, that is because it comes travels in the same place as urine.  But, in general female ejaculate neither tastes nor smells like urine.  It does taste and smell different for each woman, in different times of her cycle and what she has been eating or drinking.

Foods that affect the taste and smell of female ejaculate:

  • coffee
  • asparagus
  • alcohol
  • chocolate

* if you are worried about the taste and smell of your ejaculate keep well hydrated to dilute any concentrated smells.


How much volume is there in an ejaculation?

Female ejaculators come in two quite different groups, one that ejaculates large amounts (1 c.), “gushers” or “squirters,” and others that “eke” out small amounts (1 teaspoon) of usually thicker liquid.

There is a growing number of men who are pressuring their partner to female ejaculate

A recent phenomenon has women reporting male lovers pressuring them to ejaculate. This is another type of pressure that many women find problematic and may be due to the growing popularity of female ejaculation portrayed in pornography. There are two points to consider here; 1. while g-spot stimulation is associated with the female ejaculation, it is so for only some women, and does not result in ejaculation in the majority of women (approximately only 40% have reported some kind of ejaculation). And, 2. the motivation to ejaculate is different for men and women. Female ejaculation is not linked to orgasm in the same way that men’s ejaculation is linked to men’s orgasm. Many women who ejaculate report it feels more like a “release,” but it is not necessarily associated with the ‘pleasure’ of orgasm.  The motivation for a woman to ejaculate may, therefore, be her lover’s ego, rather than her pleasure. (Påfs, 2021)

Female ejaculation is a wondrous experience for some women, but it is not for every woman.  This pressure may take away a woman’s pleasure by adding a performance pressure or making her feel inadequate for not being able to do something she may not want to do or even find pleasurable.

Physical factors that can influence the volume and makeup of female ejaculate:

  • stage of the menstrual cycle
  • hormonal levels
  • age
  • hydration
  • strength of the PC muscles
  • anatomical tendency toward retrograde ejaculation (into the bladder)

Psychological factors that can influence the volume and makeup of female ejaculate:

  • comfort with partner or sexual scenario
  • level of ability to “let go” in the situation
  • habit of holding back
  • type of stimulation (g-spot or clitoral)
  • level of arousal

Female ejaculate is a magical liquid that can encourage pleasure and excitement in many woman’s sex lives.

Now, I can only imagine a new genre in adult film – fem-bukkake – where several women encircle  and ejaculate on a central man, as he laps up every bit!

The Secret to Female Ejaculation

Female ejaculation, commonly called squirting, is a natural phenomenon which actual existence has been questioned in today’s society by a number of people. Often confused with urine, the most solid medical explanation on its origin says that it comes out from the urethra, and not from the vagina.

Although there exist countless myths and misconceptions about it, the truth is that it is nothing but a healthy, natural phenomenon that can happen at any time, to any woman: during and after pregnancy, after menopause, or even after a hysterectomy.

Provided below is an index with the 6 points we are going to expand on in this article.

Where does it come out from?

In women, the glandular tissue located below the bladder and surrounding the urethra appears to be homologous to the male prostate. It is called female prostate or Skene’s glands, and is the source of a white, viscous secretion that exits from the urethra upon sexual arousal.

Many women produce this liquid—even in small quantities—, which means that all of them can experience the female ejaculation. Although it is clear that being able to ejaculate depends to a great extent on the Skene’s glands, the truth is that it still remains an enigma for experts.

The nerve roots of the clitoris surrounding the urethra make it an especially sensitive area which is commonly known as G-spot. It is in this area where we can find the Skene’s glands that, apart from producing estrogens, secrete this fluid.

It is important to make a distinction between ejaculating, squirting and gushing:

  • Ejaculating: It comes out from the urethra despite being produced by the Skene’s glands from the G-spot.
  • Squirting: It is defined as a form of dilute urine that is generated by the bladder, but exits from the urethra as well.
  • Gushing: It involves the expulsion of clear fluid from the urinary bladder.

An important difference between ejaculating and squirting is linked to their compounds: given that the fluid women expel when squirting comes from the bladder, its composition is quite similar to that of urine.

Stimulating the G-Spot makes the blood flow to be higher in these glands, which gets them to expel this liquid through the urethra. This is an important fact to keep in mind, as many people believe that women ejaculate through the vagina.

It is estimated that about 10 to 50% of women squirt at orgasm. It should be clear that, even though the vagina segregates a lubricant fluid to ease penetration, the female ejaculation has its own urethral exit at orgasm.

The way in which each woman achieves it is also different. The quantity of fluid that is produced as well as how it is expelled varies from woman to woman. While some do it little by little in small quantities, others are able to shoot a big load.

Composition, smell and appearance

It is an odorless and tasteless milky fluid which color ranges from whitish to transparent. For some women, it smells like urine or even ammonia, a fact that can be explained by the presence of small traces of urine, as it moves through the lower portion of the urethra before being expelled.

This substance, which is released by the urethra and not by the vagina, contains prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP). These substances are released by the Skene’s glands, and can be found in urine too, although in lower concentrations.

The analysis of this substance has revealed the presence of other components, such as:

  • Urea and creatinine in smaller portions than in urine.
  • Compounds that are also present in the seminal fluid, except for sperms.
  • Traces of glucose
  • Zinc

A number of analyses have identified in the ejaculate of many women the presence of antimicrobial secretions. In such cases, it was proven that women who are actually capable of expelling this substance when ejaculating had fewer chances of suffering from urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by sex.

Popular myths and facts

Some people believe that not all women are capable of ejaculating, which is to say, that it is all about training and practice. The truth is, no definitive studies have been conducted to date from which we can affirm or refute how true is this. Because of this uncertainty, there exist a number of myths and misconceptions surrounding this topic, which are described below:

“It doesn’t exist: it’s nothing but urine”

Many women believe that they urinate during intercourse, which makes them feel insecure. Because of these feelings, several women have undergone surgery in the bladder because they thought it was a case of incontinence.

We know, however, that it’s not due to urinary incontinence, since this exit of fluids occurs even after the woman has urinated. Furthermore, this fluid, the composition of which is different from the urine, only exits during sexual intercourse and not with physical efforts.

While some women have to rest for a few hours before it happens again, others get it on several occasions in a short time period. How many times a woman may ejaculate depends on a number of factors such as age, physical conditions, and the fear she has to urinate, among others.

“It is necessary for pregnancy as it turns sex into a ‘full’ experience”

The old wives’ tale saying that women who are actually capable of ejaculating experience more pleasant sexual intercourse and are more likely to become pregnant is not true. In other words: ejaculating is not a sign of pregnancy.

Again, it depends on each particular case, and having the ability to do so does not necessarily mean a greater level of overall sexual satisfaction. It is nothing but another type of sexual response.

“It is not possible after menopause”

There is no physical reason why a woman should stop experiencing ejaculatory orgasms after menopause. There is a common misconception in today’s society which associates the end of a woman’s sex life with menopause.

Although it is true that hormonal fluctuations may have an influence on a woman’s libido, turning to hormone replacement therapies, or just waiting for the body to readjust its hormonal levels can help with it and make intercourse as pleasant as it has always been.

“Only a few women can ejaculate”

To date, data has shown that around 60% of women admits having been able to ejaculate at least once in their lifetime. There are two main causes why not every woman might be able to ejaculate:

  • Not every woman has the Skene’s glands (also known as female prostate) as developed as to produce enough liquid to be appreciated.
  • Even if their Skene’s glands are mature enough, most women hold themselves back for fear of urinating.

FAQs from users

Is female ejaculation unsafe during pregnancy?

By Iván Ferrer Durbà B.Sc. (biologist & science teacher).

No, it is not. Women can continue with their sex life despite being pregnant. In fact, some are able to experience ejaculation for the first time during pregnancy as a consequence of undo pressure on the pelvic regions.

Will I be able to ejaculate after hysterectomy?

By Iván Ferrer Durbà B.Sc. (biologist & science teacher).

As seen earlier, experts have not reached a consensus on whether female ejaculation actually exists or not. Nevertheless, be it involuntary urine or an actual fluid originated from the Skene’s glands, it does not come out from the uterus or cervix, so the answer is no: hysterectomy would not change a woman’s ability to ejaculate.

What are the main health benefits of female ejaculate?

By Iván Ferrer Durbà B.Sc. (biologist & science teacher).

The following is a list of the most common benefits reported by those who have experienced it at least once in their lifetime:

  • Extraordinary intense orgasm, which causes not only physical and sexual pleasure, but also mental enjoyment.
  • It can increase a woman’s sexual confidence
  • It can improve a couple’s sex life
  • It gives women the chance to learn more about their bodies and how some relevant parts function

How do you get a woman to ejaculate?

By Iván Ferrer Durbà B.Sc. (biologist & science teacher).

Firstly, urinating before engaging into sexual intercourse may be the key to achieve climax while dispelling any doubt arising and being sure that it is nothing but ejaculation.

Stimulating the clitoris helps, too. If a woman feels that she has to urinate and pushes with the muscles of her vagina, ejaculation is very likely to happen.

Those couples who experience the female ejaculation brag about it. An orgasm combined with female ejaculation is one of the most intense feelings that a woman can experience.

What is the relationship between female ejaculation and back pain?

By Iván Ferrer Durbà B.Sc. (biologist & science teacher).

Back pain associated with orgasms, whether ejaculation occurs or not, is a condition called female dysorgasmia. However, not much is known about this alteration to date.

It usually happens when a woman climaxes, and appears in the form of a cramp-like pain in the lower part of the abdomen which can be referred to the back or rectum area. Most patients describe it as an intense, bothersome pain that passes within a few minutes.

Some studies have found that, given the fact that it occurs most often in women aged 35 to 55, it may be linked to menopause. Other theories associate it with the presence of ovarian cysts, endometriosis or fibroids.

Does female ejaculate kill sperm?

By Iván Ferrer Durbà B.Sc. (biologist & science teacher).

No, it does not. Neither is it true that urine kills sperm, so even if your ejaculate fluid contained urine or if a woman pees before having sex, her chances of getting pregnant would not be affected.

What is true is that some women produce antisperm antibodies naturally which can “kill” sperm and compromise a couple’s chances for having a baby. To learn more, we recommend you to visit the following post: What are antisperm antibodies?

Why is female ejaculation known as “Amrita” or “nectar of the gods”?

By Iván Ferrer Durbà B.Sc. (biologist & science teacher).

The esoteric tradition of Hinduism and Buddhism known as Tantra or tantric sex refers to female ejaculation, squirting and gushing as amrita, which meaning is, in fact, nectar of the gods. It is also known as kalas. According to Tantra, having the ability to produce kalas is a manifestation of a woman’s sexual energy.

The smell of ammonia from the mouth: the causes of occurrence, in which diseases it occurs, diagnosis and methods of treatment.

Definition

Ammonia is a chemical compound that can be formed in the body as it is the end product of nitrogen metabolism. Most actively it is released into the blood by nervous tissue, liver, intestines and muscles. In case of violations in the work of some organs and systems, a sick person may smell of ammonia, or a uremic smell.


Varieties of conditions in which the smell of ammonia from the mouth occurs

There is no generally accepted classification, therefore, they are guided by the causes that caused the appearance of the smell of ammonia.


Possible causes of the smell of ammonia

Diseases that may be accompanied by the smell of ammonia and are not directly related to the nasal or oral cavity include pathologies of the endocrine system. In complicated diabetes mellitus (more often type 1 or severe type 2 diabetes, insulin-dependent), a life-threatening condition can occur when blood glucose levels rise sharply, but the body cannot properly utilize it for energy and begins to break down its own fats . Then the level of ketone bodies, toxic to the body, rises – they cause the smell of ammonia from the mouth. This condition requires immediate hospitalization and medical attention.

The smell of ammonia can appear in diseases of the urinary system, both inflammatory and exacerbation of chronic renal failure. You should carefully monitor the change in the frequency of urination, the amount of urine released, the appearance of drowsiness, increasing weakness, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and back pain. All of these symptoms require immediate medical attention.

An equally serious cause of uremic odor is a violation of the liver in liver failure. In addition to bad breath, the patient may experience drowsiness, lethargy, discoloration of the skin (yellowness of the skin and sclera), nausea, vomiting, headache, abdominal pain, and stool disorders. Liver failure is a serious condition that requires hospitalization.

Bad breath can be caused by diseases of the gastrointestinal tract caused by the bacterium H. pylori . This bacterium leads to the development of inflammation of the gastric mucosa and peptic ulcer. It is worth paying attention to symptoms such as nausea, heaviness in the stomach, sour belching, decreased appetite, pain or discomfort in the stomach.

A frequent cause of uremic breath is a protein diet, which results in a metabolic disorder – too many decay products are formed that do not have time to be excreted from the body, resulting in bad breath. During fasting, the mechanisms for the appearance of the smell of ammonia are the same, only the body begins to break down its own reserves of proteins and fats in an enhanced mode.

The appearance of the smell of ammonia in the nose can be directly related to diseases of the nasopharynx.

A uremic odor often accompanies inflammation (eg, sinusitis) in the nasal mucosa when purulent discharge is present.

Dry crusts can also become a source of unpleasant odor in the nose, for example, in atrophic rhinitis, a chronic disease characterized by atrophy of the nasal mucosa.

Do not forget about parosmia – a condition in which the sense of smell is disturbed and the perception of smells changes. This may be due to neurological reasons.

An odor in the nose or mouth can be caused by a respiratory tract infection, such as a sore throat, when a purulent coating forms on the tonsils, which becomes a source of an unpleasant odor.

The smell of ammonia can be the result of taking certain drugs, for example, containing significant doses of amino acids.


Diseases in which the smell of ammonia from the mouth and nose appears

  1. Diseases of the ENT organs (sinusitis, rhinitis, atrophic rhinitis, tonsillitis).
  2. Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (gastritis, peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum).
  3. Diabetes mellitus.
  4. Kidney diseases (pyelonephritis, chronic renal failure).
  5. Liver diseases (liver cirrhosis, hepatitis).

Which doctors to contact if you smell ammonia

In the absence of a clear reason, it is advisable to contact
a general practitioner who, having considered all complaints, will be able to refer the patient to highly specialized specialists and prescribe the necessary studies. This condition may require consultation of the following specialists:

  • gastroenterologist;
  • endocrinologist;
  • neurologist.

If you suspect a deterioration in the course of diabetes mellitus, renal or hepatic insufficiency, hospitalization is necessary.

Diagnosis and examinations in case of smell of ammonia

Careful history taking, taking into account all the patient’s complaints, examination and additional diagnostic measures will help to establish the correct diagnosis.

What to do if you smell ammonia

The appearance of the smell of ammonia indicates violations in the body, and only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis.

Treatment of conditions accompanied by the smell of ammonia from the mouth

Based on the cause that led to the smell of ammonia, the doctor will prescribe treatment.

If a kidney infection is detected, it is necessary to prescribe antibacterial drugs, uroseptics, drink plenty of fluids.

Treatment of diabetes mellitus involves the selection of rational hypoglycemic therapy, and in some cases the appointment of insulin.

Therapy for diseases caused by H. pylori includes antibacterial, gastroprotective and gastric acid-reducing drugs.

In case of infectious diseases of the ENT organs, the doctor may prescribe local anti-inflammatory, antiseptic therapy and antibacterial agents.

If the smell of ammonia is the result of a high protein diet, a dietitian’s consultation and dietary adjustments are required.

It depends on how healthy the person is.

What does semen normally smell like

Scientists say that semen smells like chestnut flowers because they contain similar nitrogen-containing compounds. But not all people know the smell of chestnuts, so for many, seminal fluid resembles bleach or bleach.

Artyom Loktev

Urologist, andrologist.

Ejaculate consists of only a small part of spermatozoa, everything else is a “broth” of nutrients. It contains zinc, fructose, citric acid, which, depending on the concentration, will provide this specific smell.

Why the smell of semen can change

The smell, like the taste, can change slightly due to certain foods, such as onions, garlic, alcoholic beverages. But no special studies have been conducted to find out – after all, this is a very subjective characteristic.

Semen in diabetics smells sweet, but in smokers it has an unpleasant aftertaste due to tobacco and tar.
