So it's amazing. So there's all these history books sort of giving these tips on how to make a woman get super, super wet. But then in the 1600s, the microscope is invented and science basically screws everything up. I mean, science does what science does. It learns. We discover sperm cells. We discover that women don't need to ejaculate to make a baby. And I talked to Carolyn about what happened.

And suddenly there's less and less advice about how to make a vagina resemble a golden cicada. And so I think to me what this point like really shows is how politicised and moralised the idea of female ejaculate is because these scientists of their day were observing women great fluids coming from a vagina and spraying. And then all of a sudden that function isn't necessary for procreation.

And I think even though they do have all these amazing descriptions of seeds and fluids and spraying, what is true is that in these texts, it's really not clear what fluid they are talking about.

Yeah, it's amazing. It's amazing. So to tell us all about it is Dr. Nan Wise, a neuroscientist and sex therapist. So she says that, you know, when we get aroused... You're bringing blood flow into that area, Wendy, right? So blood flow starts to rush down to your vagina, making it slightly warm and swollen. And then some of that blood basically turns into lube.
