FEMALE EJACULATION,
MYTH AND REALITY CONCLUSIONS & DISCUSSION |
CONCLUSIONS
The obtained data seems to confirm our hypothesis that at least most women (75% of our sample), contribute, during orgasm, with certain amount of PSA that can only come from the urethral and paraurethral glands (female prostate). We think it proved, therefore, that during orgasm, the so called female prostate is active emitting more or less quantity of fluid to the urethra. The fact that some women detect this fluid and others don't depends on the quantity of it and the direction of ejection, being, in any case, detectable in the postorgasmic urine. This idea is reinforced by the fact that, women that perceive this "ejaculation", have higher levels of PSA in the postorgasmic urine than women that do not, being unidentifiable in both cases in preorgasmic urine.
On the base of this data, we conclude that all or nearly all the women ejaculate, existing variations in the quantity and subjective perception of this ejaculation. Therefore, our investigation also expects to create a tranquilizing effect in women in two ways: in those that do perceive their ejaculation, assuring them that it is a perfectly normal and, probably, common phenomenon. In those that do not perceive it, avoiding them an "endless quest" in search of their ejaculation, because they probably do ejaculate but in scarce quantity.
DISCUSSION
These results, however, leave some questions unanswered.
First of all, we can not state without doubt if the female ejaculation is related to the sexual response or if it is a parallel phenomenon induced by the orgasmic contractions.
We do not know either if the emission of a greater quantity of fluid is related to a bigger glandular structure. It would be interesting to study the glandular morphology of women that expulse fluid because it is possible that, in occasions, the emission of a big quantity of liquid is supported by a Skene's ducts cyst (Lee & Kim, 1992, find 7 cases among 14.500 births) or a urethral diverticulum. In fact, some women have told us that when they reach an orgasm after a long period of sexual abstinence, the ejaculated quantity is enormous and it goes on diminishing with each orgasm until nearly disappearing.
Another doubt concerns whether the increment of PSA occurs as a result of the sexual excitement or whether it is a necessary to have an orgasm. Zaviacic and Whipple (1990), observe that out of ten women that have a orgasm that can be detected, one third emit a liquid after a fast stimulation, while other third emits the fluid in the moment of orgasm, after about 15 minutes of stimulation. The question is if the liquid emitted by the first group has the same biochemical composition than the liquid emitted during orgasm.
Last but not least, we should also start thinking about a new denomination for what we have referred to as "female ejaculation". Some feminists argue that these investigations tend to refer to this phenomenon in women as an analogy of processes occurring in men. As we have tried to prove in this investigation, "female ejaculation" is probably much more widespread than what we thought previously, being a normal response in women and not a exceptional happening in only some of them.
Future investigation lines should try and, first of all, argue back the results of this investigation with a wider sample and using an immunoradiometric assay (that is more precise than MEIA) and then answer the various questions elicited by the present investigation.
