Am I Urinating When I Orgasm?

You aren’t urinating! You are among the 35 to 50 percent of women who ejaculate when they orgasm.

It is believed that the fluid comes from the paraurethral ducts that surround the urethra and vagina.

Debate continues on this topic. Some scientists argue that women mistake vaginal lubrication or stress urinary incontinence (a fancy term for peeing a little when you sneeze!) for an actual  "ejaculation."

To prove that the ejaculation isn’t composed of urine, one researcher, Belzer, used a chemical like methylene blue so that any urinary component could be detected. In one woman he studied, the dye was found in her urine, but not her orgasmic expulsion, suggesting that the fluid expelled at ejaculation is not urine.

In the end, we don’t want to turn your bedroom into a laboratory. Just enjoy your body and its pleasurable reactions! You are fine!
