Do you ever find yourself wet when you're not horny?

Uhm....the vagina can be wet for various reasons.

The wetness that comes from sex comes from the Bartholin's Glands located at the bottom 1/3 of the vagina about 1/2 an inch inside. These glands produce the slimey stuff she has when she is super horny. It's at the opening and is much like the precum you produce during arousal. This has never happened outside of being aroused because it requires a trigger of arousal to go to the brain consciously in order to turn on.

The cervix is also able to produce various and copious amounts of fluid ranging from pasty, sticky, slimey and thick like clear eggwhites, silky and white, off-white. All pertaining to hormonal reactions and fertility cycles.

Then there's the self cleansing of normal day to day discharge that comes out of you that starts happening in your life years before your period even starts.

So slimy wet at the opening of the vag is not going to be happening at random, unless it is a cervical fluid coming from hormone receptors and that is unrelated to how aroused she is. Anything else can be a hybrid of all of these combined.

I wonder if there's much detailed scientific information about these. I bet the scientists moved on to easier stuff like rocket science.

I can't remember if there were any stats, but the two did not correlate, especially with regard to the genitals responding, but the brain not. The research is being conducted by two eminent female sexologists and they believe that this trait is very important when understanding women's sexuality and sexual fulfillment.

This doesn't fit what I would have thought at all. I would have figured that the mind and vagina form a feedback loop where if you're wet, that's a possible cue for the mind to become sexual in thoughts, and if the mind is working in a sexual manner, for the vagina to lubricate.

Just to recap, if I read what you wrote correctly, they're saying being mentally turned on has no correlation to vaginal lubrication?


The sexual fulfillment angle I can whole-heartedly agree with. After all, it's perfectly possible to have sex with someone or in a situation that is not sexually exciting or enjoyable. Mind and body definitely have to be working together to get the most out of the experience.

he's saying that things can subconsciously gear us up physically to have sex, even if the thought doesn't consciously turn us on.

eg. in tests women are shown to become aroused physically when they see animals having sex. men do not.

the reason for this response is to avoid injury. if we become physically aroused before sex even crosses our minds then we are less likely to suffer injury through unexpected sex. dry genitals may tear and become infected.

(we may actually get wet if we're grabbed by a rapist. not because we're turned on by some arsehole violating us but because we've evolved a way to minimise the damage. sometimes this response causes guilt in the victims and makes the abusers more able to convince themselves the victim wanted it really.)

Great answer, dolfette. Succinct and on point.

A lot of the research comes from Bonobo studies. As one scientist said, "they have so much sex it becomes boring". One theory is that the females use sex to keep the group chilled, in other words they need to initiate sex at any point and are therefore physically ready for it at any point. This is also not just confined to alleviating male sexual tension, the females take care of each other as well.

Another theory is that nature needs you to be ready for reproductive sex whether your mind is on the matter or not, so the rape spin is perhaps a modern political interpretation, as our bonobo ancestors do not force sex. There are different explanations for physically positive responses to rape, but I am not sure I wish to discuss that.

The male erection has been occuring since in-utero, it's very odd for women to imagine what it must be like to have a part of your body decide to do whatever it is going to do whether you are horny or not. It happens obviously while you sleep, in the middle of science class and especially while horny. The human nipple reacts this way too. But the reason the penis needs to do this is to keep it healthy on a vascular level. The need for the female equivalent isn't really there.

I have trouble believing that women are walking around getting random lubrication that is coming from the Bartholin's glands, which is always the exact same color, smell, taste and texture like pre-cum. It doesn't change. All the other stuff you might see that comes along with sex that come from that area can be related to so many other factors and aren't consistent.

Think of having precum for no reason at all in math class, just soaking through your pants while you weren't erect. It wouldn't be normal. It probably has nothing to do with a subconscious horniness whatsoever. Which is why it's hard for me to see it happening for those reasons in the female body.

Even if there is a male equivalent or a mammalian equivalent. I just can't find a reason for it with all that I know about the female anatomy and having owned it. I can physically feel my vagina tent when I'm aroused, I can feel those glands on each side of the vaginal entrance swell and push out slimey clear stuff in preparation for sex. I can feel when my clitoris gets erectile. But I've never had that sensation whatsoever unless I was aroused.

Now have I been aroused by something bizarre that I never dreamed I could get aroused from? Yes, it usually requires chain thinking myself from one subject to a next and associating it with that. But a door knob in and of itself isn't going to cause my vagina to lift upwards into my pelvic cavity suddenly and make my clitoris sensitive.

Does that make any sense?

rape is a very human idea.

i've seen film of orangutan rape... or, to be less emotive, insemination by force. it makes sense for a male to be forceful in ensuring his genes are passed on.

bonobos are rare in being so indiscriminate.

human pregnancies are higher risk, so it would make sense to be more selective.

Yes, but this is not what is found in tests on most women. You seem to have a much higher level of both control and body consciousness.

Get yourself down to the lab. :smile:

Oh I'm sure something could be measured when you think of how our cells communicate with one another to send a rapid message back and forth. I do seem to feel the world in technicolor in comparison to many. It's a double edged sword I'm afraid.

red, there are degrees of arousal.
if i'm super turned on i feel the tenting and swelling.
but there are tests that pick up low level arousal that we are unaware of. we are subconsciously aroused by more than you would imagine.

like seeing monkeys fuck.
