Ah, okay. Other researchers have described it to us like that it's thick and milky. And if you've got a penis, your prostate will be pumping out these proteins that will end up in your semen, which is why some people have said that if Squirt has these proteins proteins in it, then it's basically a kind of cum, right?

It has to be. And when Samuel, our French scientist, and others have analyzed the chemicals in squirt, they often do find these prostate proteins in them, telling us that this female prostate does play some role. Where is the female prostate? It's like near the G-spot or what?

This is a great question and actually one that scientists have still been arguing about because these pages have been ripped out of our anatomy textbooks. I am so mad about that.

Yes, it's super important and it also can help us answer this question of how much this gland, kind of cummy, whatever, salivary, thick, milky stuff we're making because generally speaking, how big a gland is also helps us know how much of this stuff it's producing.

And so over and over again in textbooks, you see this description of the female prostate gland saying that it's basically two tiny tubes that sit on either side of the bottom of your urethra. So close to where pee comes out. But actually, Helen did this study that kind of turns us on this head in this really exciting way. So she got tissue samples from the urethra of seven women who had just died.

And Helen's team sliced up the urethra's crossways, kind of like how you would a baguette, I guess, like really thinly sliced. Oh. And then she looked at these little slices under a microscope. And even though what has been in a bunch of textbooks, you look online, you'll always see, you know, the prostate described. It's just these two little tubes down the bottom.

Actually, she could see this kind of constellation of glands all the way... throughout Urethra. Wow. Which is so cool. And so she said, you know, they're not just off to the side.

And Helen's not the first to uncover this. Other researchers have too. It's just no one's updated Wikipedia yet.

So the glands themselves, how big are they? Like a grain of rice?

You can't see them with the naked eye.
