Female ejaculation is the release of a small amount of fluid from the paraurethral (Skene’s) glands during sexual arousal or orgasm. The fluid is typically milky or whitish, produced in modest quantities (often just a few millilitres), and contains prostate-specific antigen (PSA), the same protein found in male prostatic fluid. This is why the Skene’s glands are sometimes called the “female prostate.”
It is a distinct physiological event from squirting, which is a separate, larger-volume expulsion of fluid from the bladder. The two are often conflated in popular media, but the research is clear that they differ in origin, volume, and composition.
Not everyone with a vulva experiences female ejaculation. Anatomy plays a real role: Skene’s glands vary significantly in size between individuals, and some people appear to have very small or absent glandular tissue. This means that not ejaculating is not a malfunction.
Does It Happen During Toy Use?
Yes, and G-spot stimulation is the most reliably associated pathway. The Skene’s glands open near the urethral opening, and their tissue sits adjacent to the anterior (front) vaginal wall, the same area targeted by curved G-spot toys. Sustained, firm pressure in that area, rather than light or diffuse vibration, is what the anatomy responds to.
A toy with a pronounced upward curve, a firm or semi-firm body, and enough length to reach the anterior wall comfortably is the relevant design criterion here. Flexibility is not an advantage for this particular intent; a toy that holds its shape under pressure works better.
