What exactly *IS* the fluid that is female ejaculate?

Contributor: LavenderSkies LavenderSkies
I'm aware that when a womans gspot is stimulated, it becomes engorged with fluid. But, what exactly is this fluid, and where does it come from? How is it created? I apologize if this is a silly question! I can't find the answer.

Female cum is produced by the Skene's glands, which are located near a woman's urethra and are made of tissue that's similar in composition to a man's prostate gland. Researchers point to chemical analysis of female ejaculate that reveals the presence of high levels of prostatic acid phosphatase (a chemical secreted by the prostate gland and found in semen). This would seem to indicate that a woman's ejaculation is similar in composition to semen — without the sperm, of course. Female ejaculate is not pee. It's generally clear or somewhat milky, nearly odorless, and maybe a little sweet.

Yup, Brandi got it exactly right.

For what it's worth, the Skene's Glands (otherwise known as the Paraurethral Glands or Female Prostate) are the same organ that becomes a Prostate in a male fetus. Just like a man's Prostate, the Skene's Glands can experience orgasm.

In a woman, the regular function of the Skene's Gland is still debated, but is probably to produce fluid to keep the urethra and vulva moist and free of infection.

The Skene's Glands vary a lot in size and sensitivity, and some women even seem to have none at all - which would explain why some women do not seem to have a G-spot, or be able to experience ejaculation.

As I understand it, ALL women produce the fluid, it comes from the para-urethral gland and drains into the urethra whence it makes it's way into the vagina to provide the male ejaculate with a pH neutral environment for the sperm to swim in. Now some women produce too much of this fluid and it backs up along the urethra, then when the woman climaxes, the muscular contractions expel the surplus fluid quite forcefully, hence the "spurt".
