ABSENCE OF PSYCHASMS: I came, but it was no big deal, really. I felt the pulsing down there and everything, but I just didn’t feel like I was finished, I mean complete.

I had everything the books say, but I didn’t feel it like you would think. It’s a little like being numb. I went through the whole self-help thing, but it’s like 1 still had something more in me.

I did not indicate which of the above reports was from a husband or wife so that you could try to guess for yourself. Can you tell? The first was a husband, the second the wife. Early in the treatment program, 881 men and 492 women reported this problem. More men reported this only because the whole idea of a psychasm was new to them. Once I started asking, they knew just what I meant. The women related more easily to the problem as a concept, but tended to be more holistic in their orientation and more capable of psychasms in some form of their sexual activity.

SEMINAL SEEPAGE: It was a strange sensation, almost like I was peeing. It felt warm, and there wasn’t a thing I could do about it. She didn’t even touch me—touch my penis, I mean—and it all came out. I lost my erection and felt like I just didn’t want to go on, but I never really felt the throbbing I get. It just all came out, almost all at once.

HUSBAND

Nineteen men of the thousand reported similar experiences. Each was associated with anxiety, a performance orientation to the sexual encounter, resulting in excessive and early discharge of the excitation part of the neurohormonal system (the sympathetic nervous system).

URINARY OR SKENE’S GLANDS EMISSION WITHOUT CONTRACTIONS: I felt like I was peeing, like something was coming out down there. It was embarrassing because I have had no control over it, it just happened. I tried to pretend nothing was happening, but I know he knew, too. He never said anything, but sometimes it happens and I can’t control it. It’s not coming or anything. It just comes out.

WIFE

Thirty-eight women of the thousand reported this phenomenon. Since my report is purely subjective, with no visual laboratory investigation, I cannot interpret these reports to support the con-Tsion that women emit an ejaculate. This fluid may be related to he Skene’s glands, some mixture of Skene’s glands fluid and urine, emission of urine related to stress incontinence. Nonetheless, the subjective experience was similar to the male reports of seminal seepage and related to sympathetic (hot) orientations to the sexual encounter.

Since sex research does not focus on “hot or cold” life orientations in favor of a genital focus, it may be yielding inconsistent findings regarding the controversy of female ejaculation.
