	Skene's gland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		In human anatomy, the Skene's glands (also known as the lesser vestibular or paraurethral glands) are glands located on the upper wall of the vagina, around the lower end of the urethra.
		The Skene's glands are homologous with (that is to say, the female equivalent of) the prostate gland in males.
		The liquid is frequently mixed with urine that is sometimes released during the relaxation that occurs during orgasm, and with vaginal lubricating fluid.

	Female ejaculation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The glands surrounding the female urethra are variously known as the paraurethral glands, periurethral glands, Skene's glands, "female prostate", or urethral sponge, and are the spongy tissue associated with the Gräfenberg spot.
		Skene's glands originally referred to only two of these glands which had openings visible at the mouth of the urethra and the others were designated paraurethral glands although the two terms are often used imprecisely to refer to all of the glands.
		In addition to fluid from the paraurethral glands and urine from the bladder, fluid could be expelled from the vagina due to a sudden reduction in size due to muscle contractions.

	Female Ejaculation
		During sexual arousal the paraurethral glands fill with fluid and may in some cases be felt through the vaginal wall; as demonstrated in the illustration at the top of the page.
		I propose the discernable swelling surrounding the female urethra is caused by the accumulation of alkaline fluid in the paraurethral glands; not solely by the swelling of erectile tissue.
		Stimulation of the G spot or paraurethral gland is not required for this to occur and it may occur in the absence of orgasm.

		The existence of urethral and paraurethral tissue that is functional and not an atrophied gland seems clearly proven.

		In the postorgasmic urine of the subgroup of women that ejaculated, the levels of PSA were higher (mean value= 0.31 ng/ml, once discarded the extreme value sample previously mentioned) than in the rest of the samples of postorgasmic urine.

	Cobello's FE Paper
		We think it is quite possible that the fact that many women do not perceive an ejaculation, during the orgasm, is caused by the product of their "female prostate" being very scarce or because the ejection takes the retrograde direction towards the bladder, as occurs in the retrograde ejaculation of some men.
		The urethral glands drain in the urethra, differentiating them from the paraurethral glands that drain in the vestibule, around the urethral meatus.
		Summarizing our position, we believe that all women ejaculate, that is, produce more or less quantity of secretion of the urethral and paraurethral glands and Skene's ducts and expel it outwards or inwards, towards the bladder, with the orgasmic contractions.

	Several views of the paraurethral or Skene's Glands (The G Spot)
		The paraurethral glands are shown here in green surrounding the distal urethra, in the center of the drawing.
		At the midpoint in the urethra many ducts and glands extend laterally far from the canal; at a more proximal level the urethra is surrounded by many small tubules, and on the right it is encompassed by a thin, compact semicircular sheet of ducts and glands.
		Contrary to some critics, the existence of the paraurethral glands has been well known for centuries, even in western medicine.

	Female Ejaculation
		The tissue which becomes the prostate in the male does not just disappear in the female, it becomes the paraurethral glands which surround the urethra.
		In some women the paraurethral glands produce fluid when the woman is highly aroused.
		Because the paraurethral glands open into the urethra, the muscle contractions of orgasm force this fluid into the urethra, and out of the body, creating an ejaculation of sorts.

	What is female cum?
		Women sometimes ejaculate fluid from the urethra, during intercourse: this fluid is thought to be generated by the Skene's/Paraurethral gland, which is homologous to the prostate gland.

		Skene's gland may simply be an evolutionary byproduct of foetal development: male and female gonads develop from the same set of biological structures.

	The Straight Dope: What's in female ejaculate?
		PSA and PSAP are found in male ejaculate and originate in the prostate gland.
		The emerging consensus, in fact, is that the paraurethral glands, which run more or less parallel to the urethra, are the "female prostate." Orgasm may cause these glands to empty out.
		Some think female ejaculate consists solely of discharge from the paraurethral glands, others that it's a mix of glandular secretions and urine, but I don't know of any firm evidence for either theory.

		In all of the seven cases where the glands were found, immunoperoxidase staining showed a positive reaction for the presence of PAP in the glandular acini.
		Tepper, et al, (1984) found the presence of paraurethral glands in 18 out of 19 women, age 0-86 at autopsy, and a positive tissue reaction to PSA in 83% of the cases and to PAP in 67%.

		For example, the bartholin’s glands are known to lubricate the vagina during arousal and especially during sexual intercourse and its fluids are perfect to arouse the clitoris.
		A woman’s own essence (Bartholin’s gland fluid and other vaginal fluids) will be more arousing then synthetics or saliva, though both of these have their place.
