1. What is Female Ejaculation?
Female ejaculation is the expulsion of fluid from a woman's urethral opening during sexual arousal or orgasm.
The ejaculatory fluid is different from the cervical fluid that lubricates your vagina when you’re turned on or otherwise “wet.”
Female ejaculation is an enrichment of the sexual lives of women as well as their partners, according to an online study.
2. Is Female Ejaculation common?
For some women it is! There have been a few studies and surveys on how often women ejaculate. Some studies indicate that 10% to 54% of women ejaculate.
According to a sample of 227 female participants, 44% of women reported having experienced an orgasmic expulsion of fluid at least once.
In a cross-sectional study on female ejaculation, 69% of women reported experiencing ejaculation during orgasm. The women surveyed were aged between 18 and 39.
In Rwanda, east Africa, 80% to 90% of women are said to ejaculate due to the kunyaza sexual technique triggering female ejaculation.

3. Is Female Ejaculation the Same as Squirting?
'True' female ejaculation is not the same as squirting (or gushing). However many people use the two terms interchangeably, despite biochemical studies suggesting the fluid expulsions are two different phenomena.
'True' female ejaculation is the release of a very scanty, thick, and whitish fluid from the female prostate, while the squirting/gushing is the large expulsion of a diluted fluid from the urinary bladder. Squiring is said to be diluted urine.
Both female ejaculation and squirting are expelled during sexual arousal or orgasm.
4. What Exactly is Female Ejaculate?
Female ejaculate, also known as 'true female ejaculate' is a thick, whitish fluid that resembles diluted milk. Female ejaculate is the expulsion of fluid from the urethra during sexual arousal or orgasm.
According to a 2011 study, female ejaculate contains some of the same components as semen. This includes prostate specific antigen (PSA) and prostatic acid phosphatase.
It also contains small amounts of creatinine and urea, urine’s primary components.
5. Where Does the Fluid Come From?
Female ejaculate comes from the Skene’s gland, or “the female prostate.”
The Skene's gland are located on the front wall of the vagina, surrounding the urethra. They each contain openings that can expel ejaculatory fluid (female ejaculation).
A 2017 study suggests that the Skene's gland are able to increase the number of openings along the urethra in order to accommodate larger amounts of fluid secretion.

6. Is Female Ejaculate Urine?
Female ejaculate is not urine, pee or wee!
Its composition is 90% prostatic fluid, 10% glucose and a small amount of urea.
The ejaculatory fluid expelled during squirting is diluted urine with small elements of ejaculate.
7. How Much Do Women Ejaculate?
According to a 2013 study of 320 women from all over the world, the amount of ejaculate expelled by women ranges between 0.3 millilitres (mL) to more than 150 mL. That’s more than half a cup!
8. What Does Ejaculation Feel Like for Women?
It seems to vary from woman to woman.
For some women, it doesn’t feel any different than an orgasm that occurs without ejaculation. Others describe a rising warmth and tremor between their thighs.
Describing female ejaculation, one woman said, "It’s pleasurable, but it feels like a release of fluid. It’s not an orgasm. Ejaculation and orgasm are two separate functions: you can have an orgasm without ejaculating; you can ejaculate without an orgasm.”
Another woman said, "It felt amazing! When I squirted, I got this warm, excited feeling that made me arch my back and squeeze every muscle in my body."

15. Can I Learn to Ejaculate?
Yes by practice, practice, and more practice! Self-stimulation is one of the best ways to discover what you enjoy and learn your body. You can also practice with your partner to locate your pleasure spots and the elusive G-spot.
The key is to relax, enjoy the experience, and try different techniques until you find what works for you.
16. What’s the Biggest Obstacle Why Women Do Not Ejaculate?
According to sex educator and author of Female Ejaculation & the G-Spot, Deborah Sundahl, says, “Letting go – because we think it’s pee. When I take a poll in my workshops, 20% of women stop in the middle of sex to go to the bathroom, 30% go straight after. But it’s not like, “I’m just waiting to pee” – no, they are holding back that urge to ejaculate. But once women get the correct biological information, the pieces start to fall into place in their bodies and their minds. Exploring any part of your body – prostate or otherwise – is incredibly empowering.”
17. What if I Can’t?
There’s a whole lot of fun to be had in trying, but try not to become so fixated on it that it takes away from your pleasure.
You can have a fulfilling sex life regardless of whether you ejaculate. What matters most is that you find something that you do enjoy and explore it in a way that’s comfortable for you.
If you’re set on experiencing it for yourself, consider this: One woman shared that she ejaculated for the first time at age 68. You may just need to give it time.
For many women, female ejaculation is an elusive goal many would love to experience if they haven’t discovered it already.
Try to remember that in sex — just as in life — it’s about the journey, not the destination. Some women ejaculate. Some don’t. Either way, it’s important to enjoy the pleasure ride!
