Today, most experts agree that the G-spot is actually the female prostate gland and the source of female ejaculation.
Female ejaculation - when liquid gushes out of a woman during an orgasm - has been described since ancient times by eastern and western cultures, according to the authors of a scientific review published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. But in recent years, confusion has surrounded the topic.The confusion doesn't have to do with whether or not a woman releases fluids during sex - any woman could tell you so, and besides, there's scientific proof. Instead, it has to do with what these fluids are, where they come from, and when during the process from arousal through to orgasm they get released.
Squirting vs. ejaculation
Besides vaginal lubrication, which happens when a woman gets wet as she gets turned on, two different kinds of fluids are thought to be released during orgasm, research shows.There's female ejaculate from a woman's prostate gland or G-spot, which was named after the German gynaecologist Ernest Grafenberg. In a famous article written in 1940, he described the milky white fluid produced during an orgasm and even wrote that sometimes 'a large towel has to be spread under the woman to prevent the bed sheets getting soiled'.Female ejaculation is different from what's been called 'squirting' - which is actually the release of pee that's been changed and diluted, studies have shown.Kama Sutra
Long before the debate about what fluids a woman produces during orgasm, ancient civilizations described female ejaculation.The best known Indian text on sexuality is the Kama Sutra. Written by the scholar Mallanaga Vatsyayana between 200 and 400 AD, it covers everything from love to relationships to sex. Though historians don't agree on whether it mentions female ejaculation, it does talk about a 'woman's semen' released throughout sex and compares it to a man's, which of course is only released at the end. It also notes that there's a fluid produced during a woman's orgasm, which could mean vaginal lubrication and female ejaculation, respectively, say the authors of the review.It wasn't until a 7th-century poem with the line that a woman's 'love juice overflowed abundantly' that female ejaculation was definitely first described in ancient India. Thereafter many different ancient Indian texts talked about female ejaculation, including one 16th century work that described it as nothing short of a 'flood of passion-water'.'Jade chamber'
The ancient Chinese were also no strangers to female ejaculation. In the mysteriously-titled 4th century text Secret Instructions Concerning the Jade Chamber, Chinese physicians described the 'five signs' of sexual arousal in women, which began with a 'reddened face' and ended with 'the genitals transmit fluid', a clear reference to female ejaculation, according to the review's authors.Around 600 AD, another text called Secret Methods of the Plain Girl left no room for confusion when it came to just what fluids a woman's 'jade chamber' produced.Its author wrote, 'Her Jade Gate becomes moist and slippery; then the man should plunge into her very deeply. Finally, copious emissions from her Inner Heart begin to exude outward.'
