Hi Larry — The link you provided to this 2007 study of the ejaculate fluid of two women was very interesting. It’s always awesome to add more information to a discussion. I only read the abstract, because the full article is behind a pay wall. However, the line in the results section which reads that the fluid of the two women studied “showed all the parameters found in prostate plasma in contrast to the values measured in voided urine” could indicate that the components of the ejaculate that were similar to those in prostrate plasma were, essentially, carried in a medium of urine. The wording indicates that these were additional components, not found in urine that wasn’t voided during orgasm. Perhaps the full article clarifies this. Have you had the opportunity to read the full text of the article?

Additionally, the results section refers to “gland tissue surrounding the entire length of the female urethra”. I am not 100% sure from the language in the abstract, I do wish I had access to the entire article, but it sounds like the authors found tissue along the urethra (which, as I’m sure you know, is the tube which allows urine to pass out of the body from the bladder) that might be the source of the additional components they identified. Is it not reasonable to conclude that this tissue adds those components to urine as it passes through the urethra? Especially when considered in conjunction with the information included in the original article I commented on.

So, thank you for contributing this additional information to the conversation. Next time please try to avoid the condescending tone.

And I stand by my delight. Yay science!
