In the ancient Taoist tradition, female ejaculate was considered a sacred water, vital to the mental and physical health of both men and women. Ancient Chinese physicians and philosophers considered it a routine stage of female arousal. The Kama Sutra described a female emission during orgasm, and the Tantra said that female ejaculate, or “amrita” (meaning “divine nectar” in Sanskrit), contained healing properties. In the ancient West, Hippocrates wrote about female “semen,” and Aristotle wrote about a female discharge that is far greater in volume than a man’s. Centuries later, in his 1672 work, New Treatise Concerning the Generative Organs of Women, Dutch anatomist Regnier de Graaf noted that the discharge from the female prostate causes as much pleasure as does that from the male prostate and clearly differentiated between female lubrication and ejaculation noting that women with “lascivious thoughts and frisky fingers” can achieve the latter.
