Female Ejaculation, Myth Or Reality? Science Gives Us The Answer
Sexology has a short history as a science The inclusion of the knowledge it encompasses has not been treated within the scientific context until well into the twentieth century, leaving us with an evident absence of research in this area.
One of the most negative consequences of this delay is the lack of clear conclusions that help understand the mechanisms that determine many fundamental aspects of human sexuality, such as a person’s sexual orientation and identity, the multi-orgasmic phenomenon or the ejaculatory capacity in the woman among many others, remaining in approximations that sometimes do not reach more than the purely descriptive.
One of the phenomena that has generated the most interest within women’s sexuality is undoubtedly the ejaculatory capacity, attributed exclusively to man until not long ago. However, we must not forget that there are ancient references, such as Hippocrates, who spoke of female semen, or Galen, who affirmed the existence of female seminal fluid during sex. However, it is Whipple and Perry who contributed most to the social diffusion of the phenomenon in 1982.
During that decade, studies were carried out (Belzer, 1981; Bohlen, 1982; Zaviacic et al, 1984, Addiego et al., 1981; Sensabaugh and Kahane, 1982; Pollen and Dreilinger, 1984; Stifter, 1987; etc.) that put revealed the existence of a fluid different from urine and the woman’s own lubrication during her orgasm. Although it is true, this phenomenon is not experienced generally in all women, we will explain why later.
It must be said that this physiological phenomenon goes beyond the lubrication itself that occurs in the excitation phase and would have the following peculiarities:
Research
Francisco Cabello from Malaga, doctor, psychologist and sexologist, is the one who carried out interesting research on this physiological process. His initial conceptual hypothesis was based on the fact that since all women have a “female prostate,” they would all ejaculate in the orgasm phase The difference is that there would be some who are aware of this fact, fundamentally because of the amount emitted and expelled, while others would not realize given the small amount generated or because the ejaculate is directed retrogradely towards the bladder as occurs in retrograde ejaculation in some men.
To do this, he analyzed the urine of the women who underwent the experiment and who stated that they did not ejaculate, just after orgasm to identify the presence of prostate antigen (PSA) and other compounds that would confirm part of the hypothesis. This sample was compared with another before the start of sexual intercourse to see possible differences. The results found showed that 100% of the women who reported emitting a fluid during orgasm emitted PSA in these. On the other hand, 75% of women who claimed not to ejaculate, PSA was found in their post-orgasm urine sample. The starting hypothesis was confirmed.
What should we know about female orgasms?
In any case, despite the scientific advances that have been made in this field, there is still much to be elucidated. It is evident that the absence of investment in sexological research (except when there is the possibility of marketing a drug that solves the male/female function) prevents progress in the knowledge of human sexuality. Hopefully this reality will begin to change in the near future.
