Vaginal Lubrication Is A Normal Arousal Response

  • Vaginal lubrication is produced during arousal through chemical signals preparing for intercourse.
  • Lack of noticeable lubrication does not mean lack of arousal and muscles can expel lubrication during orgasm.

Skene's Glands Produce Female Ejaculate

  • Female ejaculation originates from the Skene's glands which are embryologically similar to the prostate.
  • The ejaculate volume is very small (about 1 ml) and often appears whitish, so many women may not notice it.

Prevalence Varies And Has Biological Markers

  • Reported prevalence of female ejaculation varies widely across studies from about 2% to 54% due to subjective reporting.
  • Skene's gland fluid has tested positive for prostate-specific antigen, linking it biologically to prostatic tissue.
