the female prostate ejaculation
Did you know that women have a prostate too? Well if you didn't don't feel bad - many people don't. How then could they ever stimulete it properly?? Or at least good enough to make their woman squirt??
You probably all know that, as a fetus, men and women start out by being the same from a physical point of view. This is something that doesn't change for quite a while, when the boy fetus starts producing hormones - this happens around the 8th week of gestation. This is when the physical development of the male and female bodies diverge. What I'm trying to explain to you is that the female fetus initially has the structures needed to develop into either "male" or "female" reproductive and sexual organs. What does this mean exactly? That thetissue that later forms the male prostate gland, the urogenital sinus, is also present in women. This results in woman having a prostate gland too.

The first person to discuss this "female prostate" in the modern medical literature, was Reinier De Graaf (1641-1673) in the year 1672. He described it as a collection of functional glands and ducts surrounding the female urethra. De Graaf said that these glands produce the "pituitoserous juice;" meaning that they produce a thick mucous that is pale yellow or transparent in color. He believe that the function of this fluid was to make "women more libidinous :)) with its pungency and saltiness and lubricates their sexual parts in agreeable fashion during coitus." Modern medicine, despite these observations, did not fully accept the concept of a "female prostate" until much, much later, in 2001 when the Federative Committee on Anatomical Terminology agreed to use this term in their next edition of Histology Terminology.
So, where was the female prostate for 329 years? Well, before the 20th century the term "female prostate" was indeed regularely used within medical research literature but during the 20th century the female prostate was usually described as vestigial, i.e. not fully developed and non-functional, and was identified as either paraurethral or Skene's glands. The female prostate's components weren't seen as structures of any importance or interest, although their existance was known. The modern medicine didn't consider that the female prostate played an essential role in the human reprodcution, thus it's study and understanding weren't of much importance to medicine - especially since it is not believed to be affected by disease on a frequent basis, this contributing to the lack of interest within doctor offices and hospitals. When the female prostate became a medical concern by becoming enlarged or causing discomfort during urination or intercourse it was called female urethral diverticulum or female prostatitis. One can but wonder how many urinary tract infections have been incorrectly diagnosed and treated?

In what the male prostate is concerned tho, that's an distinct organ that surrounds the male urethra. But the female prostate lies within the wall and along the length of the female urethra, as indicated in the illustrations shown above and below. It is part of and contained within the wall of the urethra, and the urethra is contained within the wall of the vagina. The female prostate averages about 1.3 inches in length, it's 0.75 inches wide, 0.4 inches in height (3.3 x 1.9 x 1 cm), and weighs about 0.2 ounces (5.2 grams). More precisely, the it's a relatively small organ about the size of a woman's thumb. Despite its smaller size "it possesses all the structural components of the male prostate."
I have found an image that demonstrates how the female urethra and vagina are contained within a common structure, as indicated by the circular outline that surrounds them. Now pay atention, because although anatomy illustrations would have us believe they are two separate and distinct organs, that isn't true. They are drawn like that for improved visual clarity. The image helps us grasp why the prostate is stimulated when the vaginal wall is stimulated. You can also see how the vagina is a potential space rather than being an open cavity within the body.

The female prostate comes in many different shapes and sizes but the majority of women have a prostate that is positioned near the external urethral orifice, as shown above and below. When having this shape and placement it may cause the top wall of the vagina to project into the vaginal passage and the urethral meatus to project outward into the vestibule.

When this occurs, you may not be able to see the actual glands of the prostate but you can see their affect on the surround tissues. In some women these projections are quite distinguished and noticeable, and increase during sexual arousal.
