The so-called Skene's glands (or paraurethral glands) secrete the aforementioned liquid, which, according to the experts of the female and male genital system, are equivalent to the prostate of the man.
Female ejaculation has always been a much debated topic. The most recent studies have shown that it is not a phenomenon linked to urinary incontinence and that the liquid emitted is an alkaline substance, containing PSA, PAP, traces of glucose and fructose, but not urea or creatinine.
Despite various investigative attempts, the biological function of female ejaculation is unknown.
; precisely, they are located to the right and to the left of the external opening of the urethra, but at a slightly lower level.
The paraurethral ducts are in connection with the so-called Skene's glands (or paraurethral glands), which represent the production site of the liquid emitted (or ejaculated), on the occasion of female ejaculation.
For the function they perform and, in part, also for the content of the liquid they secrete, Skene's glands are equivalent to the male prostate.
What is orgasm?
Briefly, orgasm is the maximum expression of sexual arousal resulting from the stimulation of the erogenous zones and the sexual organs.
HOW COMMON IS IT?
Female ejaculation is a phenomenon that affects only a minority of women on a regular basis.
Its exact incidence in the female population is uncertain. Most likely, at the root of this uncertainty is the fact that women find the subject embarrassing and often prefer not to answer it.
One of the most convincing studies on the spread of female ejaculation belongs to a certain Stanislav Kratochvil and dates back to 1994. Kratochvil sampled a group of 200 women from the Czech Republic and found that only 6% of these ejaculated regularly.
This property of Skene's glands confirms, once again, the equivalence existing between these typical elements of the female genital apparatus and the male prostate.
QUANTITY OF LIQUID EMITTED
According to a widespread myth, female ejaculation would involve the emission of large quantities of liquid.
The reality of the facts is quite different and, according to the most recent research, the volume of ejaculate emitted is generally comparable to that of a cup of coffee.
Moreover, considering the production of larger volumes to be possible clashes with the small size of Skene's glands and with the restricted physical space they have for storing the liquid.
BIOLOGICAL FUNCTION
The biological function of female ejaculation and the resulting liquid is unknown.
A scientific study published in 2009 tried to propose an anti-microbial role for the defense of the urinary tract from infections, but subsequent insights into this matter were not very convincing.
CONSEQUENCES IN THE LIFE OF COUPLES
According to various surveys, most women consider female ejaculation to be an embarrassing phenomenon that can disturb sexual life.
It is curious how all this tends to clash with what men think about it: many male subjects see in the female ejaculation of the partner a proof of their virility and their sexual abilities.
