I became interested in
the controversy about the source and cause of female ejaculation
during the course of my doctoral studies. My doctoral research project
was an exploratory experiment designed to provide information about
some of the key issues in this controversy by collecting precise
data during a medical procedure. The procedure I chose involved
placing a Foley catheter through the urethra and into the bladder
of seven women who reported that they regularly expelled fluid during
sensual and/or sexual arousal. The purpose of the catheter was to
effectively segregate the bladder from the urethra and collect vaginal
expulsions in a controlled, medically supervised environment.
It was an interesting
experiment that had been conceived previously by researchers but
never actually performed. I was moved to do this research mainly
because I was intrigued by the fact that it had never been done
before and fortunately I was acquainted with women ejaculators who
were potential and willing subjects. Following a considerable amount
of time screening and preparing the applicants, I assembled and
managed the necessary research team, including medical personnel,
and we created a relaxed and comfortable environment that was conducive
to the experiment.
After urine
specimens were collected from each of the female subjects, they
were aroused for a period of at least an hour in whatever manner
was preferable to them before the actual insertion of the catheter.
The stimulation choices that were utilized were manual self-stimulation,
manual stimulation by a partner and/or use of a non-mechanical acrylic
device known as a Crystal or G-Spot wand.
After the
subjects indicated that they felt properly stimulated and ready
for the ejaculatory demonstration part of the experiment, the catheter
was inserted. Their bladders were drained and the collection bag
was changed. The bag with the drained fluid was saved for later
analysis (of levels of urea and creatinine, the two main ingredients
of urine).
Then, with the catheter in place, the subjects were asked to resume
their stimulation of choice and achieved what they (and the medical
team) considered to be an ejaculatory orgasm. Any method that the
woman preferred was acceptable, although intercourse was not possible,
due to the presence of the catheter tube. The primary conclusion
from the experiment was that, at least for these seven women, all
knowledgeable and experienced ejaculators, the vast majority of
the fluid expelled unquestionably came from their bladders. Even
though their bladders were drained by the catheter, they still expelled
from 50 ml to 900 ml of fluid post-drained through the tube and
into the catheter bag, the only reasonable conclusion for which
seemed to be that the liquid came from a combination of fluid from
the walls of the bladder and from new kidney output.
We also noted a consistency of results between our study and the
earlier studies that also showed a greatly reduced concentration
of urea and creatinine (the primary components of urine). The
clear inference was that the expelled fluid is an altered form of
urine, meaning that there appears to be a process that goes on during
sensual or sexual stimulation and excitement that effects the chemical
composition of urine.
