@desirée: danke für diesen beitrag „aus erster hand und eigener betroffenheit“. in der tat ist die (starke) „female ejaculation“ ein phänomen, über das auch in der wissenschaft sehr kontradiktorisch diskutiert wird.
die erklärungen gehen wirklich von „orgasmusindizierter inkontinenz“ bis zu „effekt eines utralen orgasmus“.
folgend ein paar literatur-refernezen.
im detail und vertieft wird auch das in den sommer-camps von www.fuckingmachines.com abgehandelt.

Perry and Whipple (1981) were the first researchers who related the female „Grafenberg spot“, named after the physician who first wrote about this anatomical area, to the orgasm induced female ejaculation. In 1950, Grafenberg noted that during the course of sexual stimulation the female urethra begins to enlarge and can be felt easily. He went on to write that an expulsion of fluid was related to the swelling spot on the anterior wall of the vagina and that it „occurs always at the acme of orgasm and simultaneous with it.“ The term female ejaculation, originated by Sevely and Bennett (1975) and Belzer (1981), refers to the orgasmic expulsion which is at least partially homologous to male ejaculation, rather than any other sort of expulsion of liquid which might occur at the time of a woman’s orgasm, such as urine or vaginal secretions (Addiego et al., 1981). Since then, controversy has surrounded this topic as to where female ejaculate would come from, whether it truly is of the same consistency as seminal fluid in men, or whether women are merely urinating at the experience of an intense orgasm.
Perry and Whipple’s (1981) study of pelvic muscle strength in relation to females who claimed to be ejaculators hypothesized the women who ejaculated upon orgasm have stronger pelvic muscle contractions under voluntary control than women who do not. This study also raised questions as to whether women can only have clitoral or vaginal orgasms by noting that women who ejaculated not only had stronger pubococcygeal muscle contractions, but also had stronger uterine contractions than non-ejaculators. Thus, this study may have introduced a third type of orgasm related to ejaculators referred to as a „uterine“ orgasm. The findings of Perry and Whipple’s study indicated that great sensitivity was noted on the anterior wall of the vagina, as first described by Grafenberg. Using a vaginal and uterine myograph, the researchers hypothesis was supported in that the women ejaculators in the study did have stronger internal pelvic muscles under voluntary control as well as stronger uterine contractions upon orgasm than non-ejaculators. These researchers admit that by simply doing Kegel exercises to increase pelvic muscle strength a female cannot be guaranteed to become able to ejaculate.
As to refuting whether women truly do emit a substance that is not urine upon orgasm, Addiego et al. (1981) conducted a case study involving a woman who had suffered from what was diagnosed as urinary incontinence despite the liquid not appearing to be urine. Upon learning how to do Kegel exercises properly, her urinary stress incontinence soon disappeared. However, she later became aware of the female ejaculation phenomenon and how it had been associated with the Grafenberg spot. This woman was thoroughly examined by the researchers who determined her genitalia were normal and healthy upon volunteering for this study. With the aid of the subject’s husband, upon stimulation of her Grafenberg spot, an expulsion was noted when the woman reached orgasm. This process was repeated to obtain a sample of the liquid for study. Upon testing the liquid, it was found to contain higher levels of glucose and an enzyme, prostatic acid phosphatase, characteristic of the prostatic component of semen. Two substances commonly found in urine, urea and creatinine, were found at lower levels than in the subject’s urine. Thus, from the results of tests conducted in this study, female ejaculation was proven to exist in at least one female, therefore, refuting the question as to whether the phenomenon exists at all.
In a similar study conducted by Goldberg et al. (1983), investigation continued as to whether the Grafenberg spot exists and whether female ejaculation occurs with stimulation of this area. In this study eleven women, six of whom claimed to be able to ejaculate upon orgasm, were examined by two gynecologists. These gynecologists found an area similar to other descriptions of the Grafenberg spot in four of the eleven women. The spot was not found more in ejaculators than nonejaculators. When the ejaculate emitted by six women was examined, elevated levels of prostatic acid phosphatase were not found and the substance was considered to be similar in biochemical properties to urine. The researchers provide possibilities as to why the gynecologists could not find the Grafenberg spot in every woman such as inexperience on their part may have inhibited them from finding the spot consistently and a bias may have occurred in which the gynecologists’ wish to confirm the existence of the spot may have led them to „find“ the spot more often the perhaps was warranted. This study did not support the previously mentioned study’s claim that the ejaculate of the women in this study held unique properties homologous to male semen. Goldberg et al. do feel, however, that a negative implication of their study could lead to the misdiagnosis of urinary stress incontinence. They also mention that further research into the origins of the substance in necessary to disprove the claim that some females may have a gland similar to the prostate in males that allow these females to emit a fluid similar to male semen. They also feel that the Grafenberg spot’s ability to heighten arousal and orgasm in females may be a separate research issue from female ejaculation. Other researchers, such as Alzate (1990) feel that the issues of female ejaculation and the Grafenberg spot contain no real relevance to human sexuality studies at all.
This has been a review of literature concerning female ejaculation and the controversy surrounding it. It was this writer’s intention to bring this interesting human sexuality topic to the awareness of the individuals interested in human sexuality and all that the topic incorporates into it. This controversy will undoubtedly continue to go on despite the critics of its importance because we as human beings are fascinated by the range of human sexual behaviors.
