Cum versus natural lubrication

This sounds like a stupid and bizarre question, but the natural lubrication that is produced in the vagina, is it made of the same material as female ejaculate/cum?

I do get wet on occasion, but lately I've been a lot wetter during arousal, what I'm finding is awhile back, my version of wet would be from the heat I felt down there (that and the cervical mucus)

But now this got me confused on just now natural lube works and what exactly makes up vaginal lubrication.

Basically, the wetness that occurs during arousal, is it the same wetness that occurs when cumming???

From personal experience: I first noticed that the 'wetness' of the vaginal walls is of another structure, while wearing a sponge-tampon (guess it's the best way to notice, cause then the menstrual fluid don't mix it up). The vaginal fluid is more clear, wet and a tiny bit slimy. Also: I keep track of my cervical mucus. I'd say cervical mucus is of a more 'rough' and colored structure. I do squirt myself and I'd say it is not the same as vaginal fluids; ejaculate is way more liquid, almost like water (just as clear as well).

So I guess there are 3 fluids:
-cervical mucus, which varies over the your period in structure and quantity
-vaginal fluid/mucus that is always their to lubricate your vagina produced by the little glands all over the vaginal walls, but is produced 'extra' when feeling sexually aroused.
-for some women; a fluid that comes from certain glands around the entrance of the vagina, when a woman ejaculates (possibly: Skene's glands?). I've heard the ejaculate consists thoroughly out of the same material as bloodplasma, but opinions may vary. A lot is unclear on this subject, even in the medical world.

Well, I did notice that when I started sexual activities, I did get wet, but after a while I could get more wet, and even become wet sooner :) Also: I did notice the spongy area around the urethra becoming a bit more 'rough' as I became more aroused. And 10 months later, I was ejaculating (very confusing for both of us at the time, immediately followed by him getting all enthusiastic, cause it was soooo cool I could THAT ;)). So perhaps a woman's body is adjusting/developing/evolving in a way when you engage in sexual activity?

I guess an MD's perspective would be welcome here :)

Neither stupid nor bizarre. Too few of us know what is going on down there and there are many sources of the dampness we have.

First, forget the cervical mucuous. There is a plug in the cervical os for most of our cycles that falls out at ovulation (to allow the entry of sperm) and menstruation (to allow the menstrual flow out. Though there is some mucuous present all the time, it is not really a factor in lubrication.

The lubrication we experience during arousal is a plasma excreted by the vaginal walls. Some women produce much of this and some, only a little. We all vary during our cycles with the most being produced around ovulation and much less at either end of the cycle. Medications also greatly affect this secretion. Cold remedies can dry me up in an instant. This is the primary lubricant we rely on to accept our partners into us. As we learn to enjoy and anticipate the penis coming into us, excitement rises and likely do produce a bit extra.

The Glans of Bartholin are two small glands with openings beside the vaginal entrance. Some still believe these to be the source of lubrication. There is too little secretion to do much good and it is too viscuous to be effective. The more modern theory is that the waxy substance they secrete is a holdover from past evolution and emitted an attractive smell for getting men interested.

The female ejaculation comes from the Skene's Glands, now sometimes referred to as the "female prostate," which have openings beside the urethra. Recently it has been determined that many women have additional openings internally along the short length of the urethra between the bladder and the exit opening.

Different from, but functioning similarly to, the underside of the clitoral hood excretes a lubricating fluid somewhat like the vaginal walls. This secretion is less dependent upon sexual arousal and protects the clitoris from abrasion as the hood, and surrounding muscles, move whether walking or when attacked by some ham-handed male.

Add to all this the normal perspiring that anyone does, a few dribbles of urine, skin cells that have flaked off, semen leftover from the last encounter, perhaps some menstrual drainage and whatever migrates from the anus and you have quite a brew in that ten centimetre crack from your tail bone to your pubic bone. The need for good hygiene should be apparent.

Short answer: vaginal lubrication is secreted by the vaginal walls in the vagina proper and the ejaculate, by the Skene's Glands (also called peri-urethral glands) beside and through the urethra.

guys view

no its not at lease from what i have found out with my wife. i can make n=my wife wet as hell i mean clawing at the bed and her pucy just gets wetter, the wetness im deacribing is that of he glance in and aroud the vaginal walls, now her cum or ejaculation (sorry about the spelling u will just have to sound it out) is slightly sweeter and slicker, but now the rest of the story my wife also is a squerter, but i personaly cant make he squert or ejaculation, we have to use an hitachy vibrator, her cums acctual thicker and sum what sweet, but when she squerts its more of a watery comsistey, and it is sweet as hell im talking fresh cut watermelon sweet. but ether way by the time i finally penitrate her im sorry to say i have a hard time getting off shes so wet. but this doesnt happen every time there some times we have to use lub just be cause shes not able to be as wet as we need her to be. and from a guys look on things i deffently profer her natural lubricant to artifual lub but there way we always end up exsosted and crealed up to gether pasted out and happy. now that i have writen this ive probly said the same thing that the two lovely laides above me said or ive made a compleete ass of my self. ether way just have fun no matter what.:):cool:

I wish I knew what you said. That is as close to illiterate as any post recently.

My wife gets very wet durring sex. It seems to me that she is getting wetter the more often we have sex. We are both older and lately we have been masturbating more then usual. We do it together and watch each other. She has told me that when she knows we are going to do that now she will get very wet just thinking about it. So it seems, to me anyway, that a womans wetness is probobly very like when a man gets excited and produces lube from the head of his penis. It's a natural lube that has little to do with ejaculation, and more like an aid to help it along.

... every woman is individual. There are women who have the vaginal lube running down their thighs and there are those who must use artificial lubrication. You are reporting what happens with yourwife and that is not the general rule.

My wife's cum is much better lubricant than her vaginal wetness from arousal. And her cum lasts longer than artificial lubricant or the use of my cum for second and more times of sex. She also cums more the more frequently we have sex. Yes, a woman's body does adjust to the man and to the sexual routine of the couple.

Can all women ejaculate? Can men tell when women cum by the wetness? Ialways tell him when I cunning was just curious if we gave no hint of it could guys tell?

Relatively few women do ejaculate. Possibly we all have the capacity but most of us never do. The best current theory is that Skene's Glands (peri-urethral glands with openings beside the urethra and, in some women, along the length of the urethra) are analogous to the male prostate and make the female ejaculate. It is also now often believed that the G-Spot is actually manipulation of these glands. Others simply believe that G-Spot manipulation moves everything, including the clitoral hood up and down the shaft.

Are people not seeing that those posts have a failed embedded image link in them? That's why all those posts are being done. They all have something like this:

In my Safari browser I just have a ? box where they go.

I put in the space in http just to be safe. :)

Great for finding that out Firmus! Now these posts should really be kicked off the forum by the mods!

But: how do you do that? I can only make the extra text visable when I select "quote message". Otherwise; it's completely invisable to me. What option do you use to create a "box" like that? Now, admittedly: I usually use Firefox and don't know too much about Safari's options ;)

This is what they all look like to me. And by all I mean all those random quote users that are bumping all the threads.

That's just an uploaded screenshot. I'm not doing anything fancy. Must be a default Safari thing on Mac?

DD2, blogs is making a habit out of quoting sentences from older posts. In this case mine of 06-22-2010, in which I request Brandye's input in a subtle way.

I'd frankly doubt blogs has made any posts by his/her own hand!

I don't understand why, since I don't see advertisements in the profile. But it surely is annoying! :mad:

Brandye is an M.D.

What is the reason for this do you think?
