Orgasms
Orgasms, female ejaculation, and the G-spot, again

Dear Alice,

I am a female and I have had these strange orgasms lately that I never had before with my partner of six years. Instead of your basic orgasm, I have very powerful ones that last forever and include a lot of liquid coming out of my vagina. I have never heard of a woman 'ejaculating' but that's what it seems like. Is this normal or is something wrong with me?

Dear Concerned,

This sounds like a G-spot phenomenon accompanied by female ejaculation. With a woman who is lying on her back and has her legs spread apart, the G-spot can be located by putting your fingers inside of her between 10 and 2 o'clock, as if her vulva were the face of a clock, with 12 at the top. Move your fingers deeper inside and curl them back so that they are touching and pressing against the top of her vagina or the "back door" of the clitoris. The G-spot swells from the size of a dime to the size of a quarter and fills with fluid that is NOT urine or vaginal fluid, which spurts out of the urtethra (not the vagina) when a woman orgasms. This does not happen in every woman; however, as you can tell, it does happen in some. Aren't you lucky!

For more information about the G-spot, read G-spot and G-spot? in Alice's Sexuality archives. Also look for a pink book called, The G Spot, by Alice K. Ladas, Beverly Whipple, and John D. Perry.
