Recent research by Gary Schubach at the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco has prompted me to re-examine both my published work and private thoughts on the topic of "female ejaculation". This re-evaluation has also been stimulated by the release of certain videotapes, including the widely-publicized "How to Female Ejaculate". It appears that the topic is more complicated than first supposed.
The most controversial aspect of the discoveries about female ejaculation concerns the volume of fluids sometimes claimed, or even photographed and videotaped. Many professionals have been unable to find these large-volume ejaculations credible, especially in the light of the relatively small mass of the glands that comprise the Skene's glands (also known as paraurethral glands or female prostate). At the very least, they argue, the female glands should not be credited with producing any more, and probably less, fluid than the corresponding male glands.
I had the good fortune of being divorced and dating in the brief idyllic period after the publication of "The G Spot" (mid-1982) and before AIDS became a household word in Portland, Maine. (The first AIDS case there was in late 1984.) My "recovery" was helped considerably by a local Divorce Support Group at the church.
Eventually I joined the local "Together" dating service, and for a few months enjoyed a grueling "social" life - a professional advantage that was denied to researchers like Kinsey and Masters. Although the service promised something like 2 new dates a month, I averaged at least four a week. I met some wonderful women and had some marvelous times. I more than made up for my shy younger years.
Obviously my new partners were somewhat "self-selected" - it was my professional reputation, not my good looks - that caused my popularity. So it should not be surprising that many, if not most, of the women I dated were capable of "female ejaculation". Providing, of course (to borrow Master & Johnson's famous fudge-phrase) they received sufficient "effective stimulation".
But here's the caveat: in every case, the amount of ejaculation would best be described as "less than a thimble-full", sometimes MUCH less, and never the copious amounts shown in recent films. Since many credible sources had attested to larger amounts, I kept my private thoughts private, thinking that my "data" was still "within normal limits".

The publication of Fanny Fatale's videotape "How to Female Ejaculate" in 1992 raised questions again in my mind, but there was no scientific data to investigate. But even from the very first public discussions about female ejaculation (i.e., well before there was any public cultivation of it as an art form) I was aware of reports of larger volume ejaculations than I had personally experienced - or could comprehend.
The recent research of Gary Schubach provides a new handle on the investigation of female ejaculation. Gary was kind enough to send me a copy of his paper, and to loan a videotape of the actual research activities. His methodology was innovative - and, I think, interestingly flawed - but like good research should, it has significant heuristic value.
What Gary and his staff did was to catheterize female subjects who were then stimulated in their favorite ways to "ejaculate". The fluid that was collected (before, during and after) was later analyzed. The fluid was described as a "watered down" form of urine; that is, with much lower than normal (within subjects) amounts of urea and creatinine.
There were no components that might have had origins in the paraurethral glands, which was expected, since the catheter prevented their entry into the collection device. The author speculates that in other researcher's results, such as Belzer et al, the fluids which may have originated in the bladder were mixed with fluids which may have originated in the paraurethral glands. [This is only a superficial comment on Schubach's first report, which we can expect to see in greater detail in the appropriate publishing time.]
Schubach's finding of "watered down urine" in the bladder of sexually-stimulated subjects was especially provocative. I have long been fascinated by - and irritated by - the presence of what appeared to be "watered down urine" in my own experience. When I was growing up, we learned to call it "Beer Piss". Folklore explained that this as a function of drinking excessive amounts of alcoholic beverage. I found that it happened to me most often when flirting and drinking in very active "pick up" bars. Just when the conversation got interesting, I'd have to excuse myself to pee, and I was always irritated to notice the colorless "urine" that I expelled, sometimes three or four times in a single evening.
As a matter of fact, I switched to concentrated hard-liquor drinks under such circumstances, hoping to reduce the amount or at least the frequency of "beer piss" interruptions. It didn't really solve the problem, but in typical unscientific reasoning, I would tell myself how much worse it would be if I had been drinking beer! An alternative explanation, which is given some support by Schubach's research, is that the colorless expulsions were really stimulated by sexual arousal.
Research Suggestion: I've long been vaguely aware of the role of sexual stimulation in "beer piss". In fact, I once envisioned doing "field studies" in the men's room of a popular singles bar. One experimenter, stationed next to the urinals, would offer a financial incentive to men who would (1) describe their drink selections and (2) pee into a bottle for later analysis. A confederate, cued by hidden communications devices, would observe and record the social interaction of the sample-givers. I predicted that the most aggressive males would have the "weakest" pee.
Research Aside: Just as "beer piss" has nothing to do with "beer", so also the "Piss Hard-On" of the just-awakened male has nothing to do with "piss". It is only coincidental that the male has to pee AND has an erection, a fact which becomes obvious when - in later years - one begins to pee in the early morning and go back to bed. Then one still wakes up with the erection, but doesn't have to pee. Erections come from thinking (or dreaming) about sex, not from having a full bladder.
