SquirtingTruth: Am I Ejaculating or Urinating
This is probably the most common question asked on FE message boards today. Women who have gushed or leaked fluids during sex or during orgasm and are concerned
that they've urinated. I have also seen postings from men who questioned or simply assumed that their partner had 'peed on them'.
This concern is furthered by ignorance in the medical field, by 'professionals' who are quick to discount female ejaculation as urinary incontinence.
While there may in fact be cases where a woman urinates during sex or orgasm there is sufficient data to support female ejaculation as the reason for the leakage.
References will be provided at the bottom of this page.
Here are a few simple ways to determine whether you've urinated or ejaculated:
1. Are the fluids clear? Or are they yellow? If you're having trouble making this determination for whatever reason, just place a white sheet or towel under you
the next time you have sex or masturbate. If you're up for a challenge, try to catch the fluids in a clear container.
2. Is there an odor to the fluids? If you have a partner who happens to be in the area during expulsion, ask them, or wipe your hand through the fluids and check
yourself. Urine has a very strong and distinct odor.
3. What do the fluids taste like? The next time you go to the bathroom don't be afraid to taste a sample of urine on your fingertip. It's important to know so
that you can reassure yourself. Urine is salty and bitter but female ejaculate (which contains two different types of sugars) has a sweet taste.
4. Do the fluids leave a dark yellow or brownish stain? This may seem overly simple but urine stains, female ejaculate does not. If you've ever left a puddle on
the bed, check the mattress. If there's no mark it's pretty safe to assume it was ejaculate.
If after all this you're still worried please also consider:
1. Urinary
incontinence, the medical condition which some claim is the reason for leakage of fluids during sex or orgasm, is caused by weakened urethral muscles. In one study
it was determined that the muscles of women who ejaculate are far too strong to be related to urinary incontinence.(1)
2. It is very difficult if not at times impossible, to urinate during peaks of sexual arousal or orgasm. I'm sure we have all had experiences where we've had to
urinate right after sex and found it to be a real struggle to 'break the seal'.
UPDATE:
Many women have written to me asking about white ejaculate. While the focus here has been on women who are concerned that they are urinating (large amounts) the
other concern also needs to be addressed.
Women have long been taught that if we have anything white come out of our genital area it is a sign that we have an infection. This is not the case with ejaculation.
Women who ejaculate smaller amounts tend to ejaculate a white fluid rather than large amounts of a clear fluid. If this is the case you can still determine the
cause through odor and taste. Also by determining the location of the expulsion. Has it come from the vagina or the urethra? If it is odorless, has a sweet
taste and has come from the urethra you have nothing to worry about, it is ejaculate.
All women are different, with different biological features, different numbers and sizes of Skene's glands and as a result no two women will ejaculate exactly the
same way.
A FURTHER UPDATE:
The following information was somehow missed when this page was originally written. The Schubach study which cites this information can be found in my resources
section:
There remain today those in the scientific and medical fields who maintain that female ejaculation is nothing more than urinary incontinence.
Urinary incontinence is caused by weakened PC muscles. The muscles are not strong enough to hold the urine in the bladder. Research by Perry and Whipple has shown
that female ejaculators “have significantly stronger pubococcygeal muscle contractions and significantly stronger uterine contractions than non-ejaculators.”51
In that study, utilizing the Electronic Perineometer, non-ejaculators had an average reading of 6.71 microvolts, while the ejaculators averaged 11.84 microvolts.
