Amrita
meaning nectar of the goddess. A liquid most treasured
and revered in ancient Tantric literature. What exactly does it
mean? Even modern medicine isnt exactly sure, much less in
agreement. There is a good deal of mythology surrounding the
biological reality of what has been only recently termed as female
ejaculation.
The primary source of much erroneous information about the nature
of female ejaculation seems to be attributable to those who seek to
sensationalize and exploit this relatively unexplored phenomenon,
while others have been overly gullible in accepting purely
anecdotal evidence.
It's widely believed that there is a female counterpart to the male
prostate; technically known as Skenes glands. Just as the male
prostate, the ducts from these glands empty into the urethral
canal. The liquid produced by the Skenes glands is not urine, but
a thin clear fluid containing glucose and prostatic acid. This
chemical makeup is much more similar to semen (without sperm), than
it is to urine.
During sexual arousal the Skenes glands may be stimulated in a way
as to release secretions into the urethral canal. These secretions
are ultimately expelled through the urethral opening (just as in
male ejaculation). This fluid "release" is entirely unrelated to
vaginal secretions, whos primary, but not exclusive purpose is
the lubrication of the vagina.
While there have been numerous claims of vast quantities of liquid
expelled during ejaculation, all fail to offer a biologically
compelling explanation as to the source, or reservoir used to store
or produce such copious supplies of juices. Skenes glands are
smaller in size than the male prostate, and it would only seem
logical to assume that the amount of ejaculate would be
commensurate. Regardless of the true quantity, it is a fact, that
it is possible for some women to expel (or ejaculate) prostatic
fluid.
Where is this mysterious gland?
The Skenes gland is embedded in the wall of the urethra, and can
be indirectly felt through the upper vaginal wall, 2- 3 from the
entrance of the vagina.
Using the pads of one or more fingers, it can best be identified as
area of ridges. The center of this ridged surface, about the size
of a dime to half dollar, is known as the Graffenberg spot or
G-spot. In some women this may be more noticeable than others,
particularly when in an un-aroused state. During arousal the G-spot
(which is made of erectile tissue) fills with blood and swells to
2-3 times its normal size. After arousal it is usually more easily
identified and stimulated. Not all women are sensitive to
stimulation or find it pleasurable. Since indirect pressure is
applied to the bladder, some woman will feel the sensation to
urinate. Breaking this psychological barrier makes it possible for
some women to expel prostatic fluid, as a direct result of
simultaneous stimulation of the G-spot and muscle contractions
surrounding the urethra.
For a woman seeking to stimulate this area on her own, it would be
advisable to do so in a squatting position. The theory being that
humans having evolved from quadrupeds, a females sexual organs are
biologically better designed for entry from the rear Unlike the
currently widely accepted missionary position (face to face), rear
entry has the advantage of exerting more direct pressure and
stimulation onto the G-spot, by the penis. Secondly there is a
greater chance of outward ejaculation (by the female), since the
urethral canal is not compressed in a way as to inhibit the flow of
fluid out of the urethral opening.
Although the ability of the female to ejaculate depends on a number
of factors, it must be recognized that it is not for everyone. Just
as many men are not receptive to prostate stimulation, many women
are not sensitive to, or do not necessarily enjoy G-spot
stimulation.
For those who desire to pursue the experience, the following points
should be considered as essential for success.
The ability to derive pleasurable sensations from G-spot
massage.
Overcoming the fear of urinating, during arousal and G-spot
stimulation. Emptying the bladder immediately prior to experience,
since most women fear that they will urinate as soon as they relax
their PC muscles. This will allow the woman to relax (or let go)
and ejaculate.
Assure that the urethral tract not unduly pressured; compressing
the urethra may result in the emptying of ejaculate directly into
the bladder (as opposed to the urethral opening).
