Historical and modern research on female ejaculation and squirting
There are many rumors and myths about the phenomenon of female ejaculation. This is because in the ancient world, people were very concerned about whether women could release fluid during sex in the same way as men. If so, what was the nature of these secretions, what role did they play in sexual intercourse, were they a manifestation of pleasure or something unfamiliar to the people of that time.

Even today, scientists cannot give an exact answer to the question of why these secretions are needed. However, despite the fact that even in modern conditions it is very difficult to carry out some experiments, scientists and the general public have not lost interest in this issue.
General description
The ejaculation process in women is different from the ejaculation process in men. During sexual intercourse, a gland in the female genital organs, known as Skene”s gland, is activated and secretes a small amount of a thick, viscous white fluid. Once developed, it flows out of the vagina and is visible to the naked eye. Little is known about the significance of this secretion for the body and especially for the reproductive organs. Scientists confirm some theories with some experiments, but not with others. It is difficult to draw conclusions from such inconsistent results. Many people mistakenly believe that female ejaculation is squirting, also known as ejaculation. In scientific papers, scientists classify these two phenomena as different.
During ejaculation, a thick white liquid secretion comes out of the glands, and during ejaculation, a mixture of secretion and clear liquid from the bladder does not pour out, but splashes. This was established by analyzing their composition. Not everyone is familiar with such subtleties, so ejaculation is still confused with squirting. In the 80s and 90s of the last century, several sexologists conducted studies in Europe and the USA to study sexual contact on the female side. This study revealed that 50-70% of women (depending on where the respondent lives) claim that the same white liquid is released into the vagina when orgasm occurs. As for men, talk about heavy discharge of this discharge is very rare. In most cases (65% of women surveyed) they stated that the fluid simply leaks out. Ejaculation in women does not occur on its own, but only at the moment of orgasm, at the peak of pleasure. Independent studies have been conducted on this topic, during which it was found that ejaculation most often occurs after strong stimulation of the so-called “G-spot”. There is also evidence that some women achieve intense ejaculation on their own through clitoral stimulation. They did this because the internal tissues also involved in this process put pressure and tension on the same G-spot. There are no other methods of releasing the white fluid known to date.
Historical research in the East
According to historical documents and other surviving evidence, many sages and thinkers in the east of human civilization were familiar with the advent of female ejaculation. For example, there is reliable evidence that this phenomenon is described in ancient Indian texts of an erotic nature (for example, the Kama Sutra). In addition, in many temples that have survived from ancient Indian times, one can find schematic or rather colorful depictions of female ejaculation. Ancient Indian doctors were convinced that female ejaculation is involved in fertilization in the same way as male sperm.
Another trace and reference to this physiological phenomenon can be found in an ancient document preserved in China. The most prominent surviving text describing female ejaculation is the treatise entitled “The Canon of the Pure Virgin,” written in the early 7th century CE. It states that the release of a white substance during intercourse is the true and primary sign that a woman has achieved extreme sexual satisfaction. Such views on girls” sexuality and satisfaction persist to this day. Interestingly, documents have also been found in China that corroborate the controversy surrounding female ejaculation in the Kama Sutra. This text, entitled “The Secret Method of the Inexplicable Girl,” was written by the Chinese scholar Su Nung Ching. It states that “female sperm” refers to intercourse throughout its entire duration. Modern scholars are convinced that both texts are not referring to ejaculation, but to lubrication—a natural mechanism produced by the female body to facilitate sexual intercourse.
Research in Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece
These ancient representatives of the great Western civilizations studied this issue in much greater depth. Although this process was considered completely normal and natural, doctors and thinkers sometimes sought to learn as much as possible about it. This biological process often became the subject of debate between scientists with different views on human biology and anatomy. According to some reports from controversial but unreliable sources, the first mention of female ejaculation in ancient times was observed in BC.

There are two mutually exclusive opinions. Aristotle, one of the most renowned scientists of his time, believed that female ejaculation was not involved in the fertilization process. He believed that ejaculate only appeared when a woman reached orgasm. Therefore, the fluid was intended for pleasure during sex. He also claimed that fertilization could occur without a woman experiencing any sexual pleasure, and therefore isolated this fluid.
His opponent, Hippocrates, was convinced that female secretions were involved in the process of conception. In his opinion, “female” and “male” sperm are mixed in the womb of a girl, after which certain processes occur that lead to fertilization. At the same time, another scientist named Claudius Galen defended the view that female secretions during sex served both as a means of conception and as a means of obtaining pleasure from sexual intercourse. According to Hippocrates and Galen, the production of this fluid took place in the “female prostate.” This organ, in their opinion, was very similar to a man”s and served the same purpose, namely the production of sperm for conceiving children. According to modern experts, both Western and Eastern theories about the role and origin of female ejaculate are correct to a certain extent and rarely contradict each other. Modern studies of the composition of female sperm and semen have revealed the fact that they are largely similar in chemical and biological composition. The only difference is that female secretions do not contain the germ cells necessary for fertilization. Find out more juicy and interesting facts about ancient Roman sex in the next article!
Late studies of female ejaculation
The most famous researcher on this topic was the Dutchman Rainier de Graaf. In the 18th century he wrote an impressive scientific work. His subject was the study of female reproductive organs. Success and recognition awaited him, because it was a revolutionary step in modern biology and anatomy of that time. All subsequent work on this topic depended to one degree or another on the work of de Graaf. The scholars of his study expressed support for Aristotle”s theory on this topic, touching on global and serious contradictions in all existing theories. He based much of his work on the research of scientists from this ancient world. In general, he said that female discharge appears during active stimulation during sexual intercourse or during acts of self-gratification. In his opinion, ejaculation is not a simple substance. This mixture was obtained from the secretions of all parts of the vagina — its walls themselves, the tract of the excretory system, the cervix and uterus. De Graaff argued that the substance secreted by the female reproductive organs was a means of “facilitating” sexual intercourse. In addition, the process of isolation itself was accompanied by pleasant sensations for the woman. Scientists have also noted this.
Modern researchers generally agreed with him, but his research had serious flaws. Rainier de Graaf mistook vaginal lubrication and ejaculation for the same substance, which is a mistaken belief. Scientists justify their mistake by saying that the purpose of their work was not a detailed study of this substance. Dutch biologists first of all wanted to draw a line between the seminal fluid necessary for fertilization and the fluid secreted by the female reproductive organs during orgasm. Anatomists and biologists living in the last century spent a lot of time discussing the appearance and purpose of female ejaculate. Various theories often arose, which were criticized and associated with manifestations of pseudoscience. The most well-known of these is that female ejaculation is simply incontinence of urine during intercourse. Over time, experts became convinced that this opinion was in fact wrong, and found much more evidence in favor of more realistic theories.
Modern data
Over the past few decades, the most important problems regarding female ejaculation have been solved. First, it was found that the release of sperm has nothing to do with urination. Sociological studies have been conducted, the results of which have shown that women experience sensations from ejaculatory discharge and that they are similar to the sensations experienced during urination. However, biological studies of the composition of these liquids have confirmed that they are completely different in nature. Secondly, some experts have long believed that female discharge during orgasm is simply lubricant. However, this is also a misconception. However, it took almost 15 years for methods to measure various indicators of vaginal lubrication and female ejaculation to become available. Using various methods of chemical and biological analysis, it was determined that urine, vaginal lubricant and semen are different substances. This was a real discovery.
Thirdly, scientists were very interested in the source of these secretions. Of course, the existence of “glands in the skin” was established a long time ago, but the amount of substances secreted is very impressive, but they are very small. On average, a woman can produce five to ten teaspoons of this substance during ejaculation. The gland itself cannot accumulate such a quantity of secretions. Scientists have still not been able to solve this mystery, but attempts are sometimes made. The true function of ejaculate in the female body is also controversial. There are many theories based on the work of past scientists, but one of the most consistent and well-founded theories today is that this secretion serves as a means of protecting the urinary tract from infection and foreign bacteria. Summarizing all of the above, we can say with confidence that women have the ability to ejaculate. White discharge in women, which can be noticeable during sexual intercourse, is a sure sign that the girl is not simulating an orgasm, appearing only in moments of extreme pleasure. Those who know this are amazed at how right people were, especially Aristotle, who lived thousands of years ago. In the end, this thinker and his “brother in mind”, who lived almost simultaneously in India and China, were able to deduce many basic things about the female orgasm.
