Japanese urologists have confirmed that the “squirt” that some women experience during orgasm is actually fluid that is ejected from the bladder. This solved one of the long-standing mysteries of the female orgasm.
Women can produce several types of fluids during intercourse. During the arousal phase, the vagina releases fluid that is used for lubrication. Once a woman reaches orgasm, two other types of liquid can sometimes be expelled from the urethra: a milky liquid that is secreted in small quantities and a clear liquid that is released in large quantities, often in hundreds of milliliters, writes zimo.dnevnik.hr.
An earlier study
Until recently, both orgasm fluids were described as female ejaculation. However, now that term is reserved only for milky liquid, while the aforementioned “squirting” is used to describe the release of a clear liquid. It is believed that around five percent of women in Western countries also release a clear liquid during orgasm, but until now there were doubts about what this liquid is and where it comes from.
An earlier 2014 study led by a French gynecologist Samuel Salamawho currently works at the Poissy Saint Germain en Laye Hospital in Paris, suggests that the release of this clear liquid during orgasm in women involves the expulsion of urine from the bladder, since ultrasounds of seven women who can have such an orgasm showed that their bladders were full just before release and to empty immediately after orgasm.
Removal of all doubts
In order to remove any doubts and mystery about it, Miyabi Inoue, a urologist at the Miyabi Urogyne Clinic in Japan, and her colleagues injected blue dye mixed with water into the bladders of five female volunteers who were able to release a large amount of the clear fluid during orgasm. A male volunteer was involved in the whole story, whose task was to stimulate the female volunteers. A related study was published in the International Journal of Urology.
The urologists had the task of collecting the liquid in a sterile cup, but as they themselves admitted, it was not that simple. It’s difficult to collect the liquid because the direction of the injection is variable, Inoue says.
However, the most important thing that was discovered is that in all cases the released liquid was blue.
This confirms that it appears to originate from the bladder. But there are still so many questions, such as whether the liquid has the same composition as urine. And why do some women expel this fluid and others do not? he says Jessica Påfssexologist from Gothenburg University in Sweden.
There were no cases of urinary incontinence
All of the women in the study had good bladder control, suggesting that their squirting was not caused by urinary incontinence, Inoue added. In the same way, Japanese urologists noticed that during the orgasm, the four volunteers in the study also experienced female ejaculation and that the two liquids mixed in the urethra.
It is a special physiological process that involves the secretion of several milliliters of less thick, milky fluid from small glands next to the urethra called Skene’s glands or “female prostate”. The fluid contains prostate-specific antigen (PSA), which is also present in the ejaculate produced by the male prostate.
A hit in Rwanda
Påfs found that women’s experiences with such an energetic orgasm vary greatly. She interviewed 28 women in Sweden who were able to experience orgasm in this way and found that some found it very pleasant, while others described it as overrated or uncomfortable. Some Påfs women said they did it involuntarily, while others said they learned how to achieve and control it through practice.
Påfs also studied women’s experiences with this type of orgasm in Rwanda, where this form of pleasure is highly celebrated.
Women in Rwanda refer to this as the highest level of pleasure, associated with relaxation and release, and they pass down the knowledge of how to do it from generation to generation, Påfs found.
