Squirting redux...c'mon folks, use google!

ime posted a tread about squirting that prompted an argument. All i'll say about the argument is that google can be your friend, people... A quick google search led me to this summary at New Scientist --
www.newscientist.com/article/dn26772-fem…
New Scientist is the British version of Scientific American and a bit less sensational than Vice. This gave me sufficient info to track the actual paper down --
Salama S, Boitrelle F, Gauquelin A, Malagrida L, Thiounn N, and Desvaux P. Nature and origin of “squirting” in female sexuality. Journal of Sexual Medicine
Journal of Sexual Medicine is from an academic publisher that I remember from my university days and it is indeed peer reviewed. I have not read the full article as I am not a urologist and it is behind a pay wall. However, the abstract is pretty clear. In addition to ultrasound they did biochemical assays looking for prostate specific antigen, a compound produced by the male prostate and female Skene's glands. It was present in the squirting sample and after squirt urine but not in before squirt urine.
So what is squirting? Urine with some fluid from the Skene's glands mixed in. Although anecdotes aren't really evidence, if you've ever been with a squirter you'd know. It's piss. Maybe piss with other shit mixed in. But it's piss.

Dude, really.
jerikson40 dude...you do know why I might have put "redux" in the title, no? Herein I was just trying to make the point that there was an awful lot of arguing without actually trying to find the actual medical study...
Remember jerikson40 my friend, google can be used for more than just locating wikipedia articles on a subject. I mean really, 95% of the time I use it to find ever more disturbing porn.
