Is This Female Ejaculate?

Dear Betty,

first of all, thanks for the great job you're doing. You inspire me to explore new ways of my sexuality again and again. Thanks for all those great experiences that really changed me in my self-awareness as well as in relationships to other people.

To the question: Since March I'm experiencing orgasms by the hand of someone else than me for the first time. Now this one reported about something flowing out of my vagina when I orgasm. I immediately thought of female ejaculation and was curious to have found something new about myself again. Yay! So I read about it and found out, that female ejaculation is said to be clear and fluid. But mine is shiny white and rather solid (right word here?). I know that every woman is different from another and these things vary. But I also seem to ejaculate from inside the vagina and not from the urethra, as it is said in literature. So I assume that I don't ejaculate but it is a matter of some common discharge running out because of the contractions?

[Please excuse my mistakes - I'm german and writing with so many medical terms is quite hard for me..]

Thank you so much for an answer, Dr. Betty!

Dear C

Glad to hear I have been an inspiration for you. That's the whole idea! For now, don't get too concerned about what's coming out of your vagina or urethral opening. What you describe could be an overgrowth of yeast that is quite common. Check out candida or vaginal itch. Nothing too serious but it can cause discomfort in some women.

The mystery of female orgasm continues. Just focus on enjoying the good feelings. While I'm not a big fan of female ejaculation, when it happens naturally it's not a problem. Just don't turn it into a project to please a lover. Your English is excellent.

Dr. Betty
