New Scientist Looks at Female Ejaculation

Posted By on May 28, 2009

Of course, they do this in a very un-porn-y way. “Many scientists now accept that some women can ejaculate some kind of fluid during sexual arousal or orgasm,” says Sharon Moalem in:

Everything you always wanted to know about female ejaculation (but were afraid to ask)

I’m pretty sure I’ve known about this for a long time, but I, or we, didn’t know what to call it until the last 10 years. I mean, there were wet spots, and there were really wet spots.

Female ejaculation may be inextricably bound up with the G spot … which makes it tough to study, since at this point, scientists aren’t sure what the G spot is, either, and are starting to think that some women have one while others do not.

Which hardly seems fair, but seems plausible to me.

  1. A “friend of mine” told me that on occasion (usually on her own with a vibrator) and she has multiple orgasms (as if that’s not lucky enough) they may lead to ejaculation and subsequently to a change of the bedding. She says that each orgasm is stronger than the previous one and that eventually the only thing that will sate her is to continue until she ejaculates (she says her arousal just keeps getting stronger and she can orgasm up to five times). Unless she ejaculates the state of arousal never subsides and it even becomes uncomfortable. Could she be referring to “blue balls” for women?

    I looked it up … the scientific term for what we often call “blue balls” is “vasocongestion” and yes, women can get it, too.

    Just thinking about your, um, “friend,” brings about that pleasurable, slight aching feeling …

  3. vasocongestion?

    sounds rather phlegmy and distinctly unfeminine/unsexual

    should my friend ask her doctor for anti-vasocongestion meds?

  4. jss says:

    Yes, it’s a very unsexy term … we need a new one.

    How about “concupiscent” … I’ve always liked that word.

    I don’t think meds are called for … or a doctor, unless he (or she?) is … well … hot.

    And attentive.

  5. Concupiscent = strong desire ; especially : sexual desire. (good word which I had to look it up and now might have to steal it for one of my stories).

    How about this for alliteration:

    Her pudenda was always conspicuously concupiscent?

    Nah.

  6. jss says:

    Nah. You’re right.

    Ever read:

    How to Write Sex Scenes

    It has some good advice. Funny, too.

  7. checked out How to Write Sex Scenes – thanks for the link

  8. I had a party the other night and asked the women there who could ejaculate. 6 out of the 8 women there said they could. I’ve seen a couple do it myself! And me of course.

    I’m going to post about blue balls in the next week or two!

You've Been Tempted.

Shadowy "Into Temptation" has been a forum about evolving social-sexual networks and how they have changed and are changing lives. In other words, we talk about dating and sex.

The original intention was that this blog would also chronicle a book project on the same subject; but that is in flux, on hiatus, perhaps meant for another time.
