What Women Should Know About Their Sexual Health: Female Ejaculation

While Brett and I are not specialist in human sexuality, we both have experience in treating patients with problems in this area. Occasionally, we receive questions about elements of human sexuality and we attempt to address those questions in a professional and helpful way. This week, we received a question from a listener about female ejaculation. This individual had an ejaculatory experience for the first time and was not sure what had happened. She reported that she was both afraid and ashamed. She was afraid because she did not know what was happening. She had never had a release of fluids that during an orgasm before. She did not know if she had lost bladder control and urinated on herself and her partner, or if there was something wrong with her internally. She was initially afraid that she might be bleeding or that something had “broken.” After realizing that this was not the case, she became afraid that her partner would be incensed or disgusted because of what had happened. Female ejaculations are a normal part of what can happen for a woman as part of an orgasmic experience. Many women have this happen; sometimes it is only a random occurrence for them, and sometimes they can teach themselves to do it whenever they totally relax and allow the process to happen.
