As we continue exploring the intricate design of female sexual anatomy, we uncover the Skene’s glands, often referred to as the 'female prostate.' This small but significant part of the anatomy plays a pivotal role in female sexual response and pleasure.

The Skene’s glands are located on the anterior wall of the vagina, near the lower end of the urethra. These glands are made up of small ducts that open into the urethra and are surrounded by highly sensitive tissue. Although relatively small in size, their importance in sexual arousal and orgasm is immense.

The primary function of the Skene’s glands is to produce a clear, lubricating fluid that helps during sexual arousal. This fluid can be released during orgasm, and in some cases, it contributes to female ejaculation—often referred to as squirting. Additionally, the glands contain erectile tissue that becomes engorged during arousal, heightening sensitivity in the surrounding areas, including the G-spot.
