Some aspects of the research community distinguish between female ejaculation and what is colloquially known as squirting or gushing.[2] These terms are used by the public interchangeably, which can lead to confusion. In these research publications, it is suggested that "real" female ejaculation is the release of a very scanty, thick, and whitish fluid from the female prostate,[2][46] while the "squirting" or "gushing" (shown frequently in pornography) is a different phenomenon; the expulsion of clear and abundant fluid, which has been shown to be a diluted fluid from the urinary bladder.[2] It is suggested that much of the obscurity and the uncertainties about female ejaculation are related to mixing up these two phenomena.
