Ok, so, Ive had this question for a while.

Can the clitoris ejaculate?

Because everytime I get wet there is always two different residues, an upper one which is a whiteish yellow color and the latter one which is a transparent white

okay, there's a yes and no answer to this depending on context.

In short, regardless of your sex, anyone can ejaculate! this is because the paraurethral glands (more commonly called the prostate) two inches into your urethra are responsible for secreting mucus during arousal/after arousal. This highly acidic (and somewhat sweet) substance is used to clean out the urethra before ejaculation and after sex. It's purpose is to clear out bacteria and prevent UTIs. For those who produce sperm, it clears out the urethra for safe passage for the sperm (also called precum).

When it comes to the clitoris, the answer would typically be no. However, that wouldn't include the experience of those with female congenital adrenal hyperplasia, an intersex condition usually assigned female at birth. One specific variation of this is when the urethra is intertwined with the clitoris, homogamous to the urethras relationship with the penis, and would imply that ejaculation would come from the clitoris region. If you are a vulva owner without that intersex variation, then the urethra is more commonly located just slightly below the clitoris, or the "upper one" as you referred to it.

The colour and variations of texture for the ejaculation vary from person to person, and as long as they are frequent to you and cause no discomfort, don't get caught up too much on if the consistency, colour, or smell is "wrong." It changes for each person depending on what part of their hormonal cycle they're in.

"female" ejaculation (though there's no reason to gender it, since everyone does it to some degree), is commonly observed as squirting. A huge debate on whether squirt juice is pee or not has been a discussion for what seems like forever; and the answer is it is NOT! squirt juice comes from the urethra and the paraurethral orifices (two smaller holes, located to the left and right on the vulvas' urethra). Not only does it look, smell, taste, and feel different from pee, it's an entirely different chemical compound and produces entirely different enzymes. squirting is not peeing.

As for the clear, white residue comes from the vaginal walls and the greater vestibular gland orifices (located to the left and right of the vaginal opening). It's typically clear and thins out more during and after arousal. This is used as a natural lubrication and is the liquid people are referring to when they say they are wet.

When you are not aroused or "wet," than it's typically a bit thicker in consistency and a bit more white. This is discharge, which is a combination of cervical mucus, vaginal mucus, and a lower concentration of both greater vestibular glands juices and paraurethral juices. As said above, what's normal completely varies person to person depending on what part of their cycle they are in.

Thanks for the ask, and thank you for your vulnerability! your elaboration helped me pin point exactly what you were asking so i could explain exactly what your situation was. If anyone else has any questions, similar to this or not, feel free to ask! i'm open to anon asks, so don't be shy to get a little personal or detailed. this is a shame a stigma free place. Any hate will be deleted and blocked.

Intersexuality or transgender has also been reported among Fin Whales (Balaenoptera physalus): one individual, for example, had both male and female reproductive organs, including a uterus, vagina, elongated clitoris, and testes.

"Reproductive freedom is critical to a whole range of issues. If we can’t take charge of this most personal aspect of our lives, we can’t take care of anything. It should not be seen as a privilege or as a benefit, but a fundamental human right." — Faye Wattleton

"Women are not an interest group. They are mothers and daughters, and sisters and wives. They are half of this country and they are perfectly capable of making their own choices about their health." — Barack Obama

"No woman can call herself free who does not control her own body." — Margaret Sanger

"As a Christian and a feminist, the most important message I can carry and fight for is the sacredness of each human life, and reproductive rights for all women are a crucial part of that. It is a moral necessity that we not be forced to bring children into the world for whom we cannot be responsible and adoring and present. We must not inflict life on children who will be resented; we must not inflict unwanted children on society." — Anne Lamott

"Defending women’s health means defending access to abortion — not just in theory, but in reality. We know that restricting access doesn’t make women less likely to end a pregnancy. It just makes abortion less safe. And that then threatens women’s lives." — Hillary Clinton

"It is unthinkable to allow complete strangers, whether individually or collectively as state legislators or others in government, to make such personal decisions for someone else." — Sarah Weddington

"I believe feminism is grounded in supporting the choices of women even if we wouldn’t make certain choices for ourselves." — Roxane Gay

“You’re not really mad that I’m not having children.

In fact, I would probably love to one day.

You’re mad that I’m expressing autonomy of choice.

You’re mad that I’m considering other options.

You’re mad that I don’t view that as my ultimate potential.

You’re mad that I dare be selfish enough to make choices based on my best interest, something women are not supposed to do.

You’re mad that I consider it a choice, and that I, a woman, am exercising choice.

You’re not mad that I’m not having babies.

You’re mad because I’m acting like a man.” — Alice Minium

“Worse than aborting is birthing in instability.” — Abhijit Naskar

“Is having a child actually fundamentally bettering the world as a whole in any way? There is no shortage of children. Wouldn’t it be better to let people who want children have them, and leave everyone else alone?” — Alice Minium

“Until the state or the church takes full responsibility for a newborn, no bill or bible is qualified to even offer suggestions on a woman's right to abortion.” — Abhijit Naskar

“Only two things matter in the reproductive health debate: the medical opinions of doctors, and the will of women. Also, feminism is intricately connected with all aspects of our society, including health, but also labor and the economy. A woman can't be an equal player in our society until she has total autonomy, and that includes determining the destiny of her own body.” — Allison Kilkenny

“If the Constitution doesn’t say anything about a woman’s right to abortion, I’m damn sure it doesn’t say anything about the rights of the unborn.” — Israel Morrow

Bowhead Whales also have a relatively high incidence of intersexual or hermaphrodite individuals with female external genitalia and mammary glands combined with male chromosomes and internal sexual organs such as testes (which are contained within the body cavity in this species, as in other cetaceans).

He's moaning like he's the one getting the life fucked out of him, moaning and whining so prettily into your mouth, sounding absolutely gone. Your thighs are folded harshly against your chest, squeezed between hyunjaes big toned body and yours and you have no way of escaping from him or his cum and his need to fill you until he's sure he's got you pregnant. Tears spill down your face and he licks it up before coming back to your mouth not even able to focus on kissing you and instead pants and moans like you've turned him into an animal for you. Your pussy tugs and squeezes like it knows what is to come - just trying to milk him to bring that moment sooner and it's at that realisation the hammer comes down on your gut and forces furious electric wave after wave to flood the mass of your body, making you grow tighter, spasming around him erratically as he makes you cum at the thought of him potentially putting a baby in you - 🥛

Why would you do this to me why would you do me so bad oh my god i dont like kids but I’ll have twenty of his and more i dont care however many he wants

One highly regarded authority, Dr Henry Maudsley (1835-1918), the leading British psychiatrist of his day, was clear that young women could not study, their 'nerve centres being in a state of greater instability, by the reason of the development of their reproductive functions, will be the more easily and the more seriously deranged'.

Female Reproductive Anatomy + Physiology

*Cracks knuckles* alright, let's go (If there are any questions you want to be answered or any topics you want me to cover, just lmk!)

Righty-ho, can't get much explained without anatomy, so we'll start with that!

As in both sexes, the reproductive system is split into 2 sections, internal and external organs, for females, we generally split internal again into the vaginal canal and the uterus (referring to the fallopian tubes and ovaries as well) in everyday language.

External/Vulva - - Mons Pubis (In front of the pelvic bones) - Counts as part of the vulva, supposed to be for cushioning, or for pheromonal purposes, much like other areas that grow hair after puberty. - Labia Majora (Outer, larger skin folds of the vulva) - In most women, it covers and protects the other structures (for some, it's the labia minora, primarily). - Labia Minora (Inner, smaller skin folds of the vulva) - '' as above. Joins together at the top, forming the clitoral hood, and at the bottom forming the fourchette. - Clitoris (Erectile tissue [corpus cavernus]) - External part is the glans clitoris, the majority of it (the body) is internal, highly innervated and highly vascular (insert 8k nerve ending factoid here). - Vulvar Vestibule (Area bordered by the labia minora, below the glans clitoris) - Contains both the urethral and vaginal openings, - Vestibular Bulbs (Erectile tissue [corpus spongiosum]) - Due to its close proximity, it's supposed to exert pressure on the clitoris during arousal. - Bartholin's Glands (Greater vestibular glands) - Nearby the vaginal opening, secretes mucus into the vagina and the labia minora, primarily for lubrication or moisture (different to vaginal discharge btw!). - Skene's Glands (Lesser vestibular glands) - Nearby the urethral opening, similarly secretes mucus into the urethral opening, but rather than for lubrication, it's primarily for anti-microbial properties. - Vaginal corona (Folds of membrane at the entrance of the vagina) - Forms the opening of the vagina and helps with elasticity.

Internal -

Ovaries (Female Gonads) - Made of the outer cortex, and internal medulla. The cortex contains follicles (made from oocytes [premature egg] surrounded by granulosa cells [hormone releasing, surrounds the oocyte to form membranes when the follicle matures]) and the medulla contains blood vessels and nerves. - Epithelial (lining), granulosa, theca (present in prenatal follicles to also form membranes) and oocyte cells can all be present at various stages of the maturation process of follicles. - Follicles form as a type of vesicle, with granulosa and thecas surrounding an oocyte, before rupturing and releasing an ovum. The follicle then regresses as corpus luteum tissue before degenerating completely. - They primarily secrete estrogen and progesterone, alongside androgens. - Held in place lateral to the uterus by broad suspensory ligaments which contain the ovarian artery and vein, and nerve plexus.

Fallopian/uterine tubes - Made from flattened mesothelial (protective lining), epithelial, secretory (glands) and intercalated (like stem cells) cells, forming 2 tubes on either side of the uterus. - Fimbriae (the thin, finger-like tubes on the end) around the ovary leading onto infundibulum (wide section at the end, 'catches' released egg cells) ampulla (the longest section, where fertilisation usually occurs), and then into the uterine body through the fallopian isthmus. - Externally, they're covered by the peritoneum (which covers all your abdominal and pelvic organs and body wall), which is in turn supported by the way it's folded. Internally, they're lined with smooth muscle, ciliated (the little fleshy hairs) to sweep a zygote towards the uterus, with the mucosa providing nutrients to oocytes.

Uterus - Behind the bladder, with 4 'areas', the fundus (the top of it), uterine body, uterine isthmus (narrowing between the main body and the cervix), and the cervix (where only the external side dilates and thins during childbirth). - Anchored to the sacrum (ligaments) which help attach the uterus to the round ligaments of the body wall. - It's all supported in place and protected partly by the cardinal ligaments (which attach the uterus to the pelvic wall) and the mesometrium (protective lining). - The uterine wall is made from 3 tissue layers, the perimetrium, the myometrium (the smooth muscle layer that contracts during your period or childbirth), and the endometrium (a highly vascular mucosal layer that builds with the menstrual cycle).

Vagina - Extends from the uterus, and opens into the vulva - Split into 2 main tissues, the outer muscular wall containing rugae (folds in the tissue), and the inner mucosal membrane of the same cells as your skin (stratified squamous epithelium).

Female Ostriches are occasionally transvestite, having full black-and-white male plumage (along with underdeveloped ovaries).
