This article is about women and girls and the potential for major
changes. I begin with two premises: first, the urethrovaginal gland
(UVG) and its secretion, amrita, are critical elements of being a
human female; and, second, there is a genetic underpinning to the
robustness of UVG activity and its contribution to sexual satisfaction.
The anticipation is that, in addition to facilitating women’s sexual
satisfaction both through raising awareness and identifying geneticbased pharmaceuticals, we might also modestly enhance medical
care and biomedical research endeavors relevant to human female
sexual anatomy and physiology. However, there is substantial,
almost uniform ignorance, reticence and untoward prejudice
among medical professionals-both clinicians and researchers-that
has compromised innumerable girls and women. Most important
has been the ubiquitous incorrect presumption that the only fluid
to pass through-or issue from-the female urethra is urine. The
source of the other important urethral effluent, amrita, is the UVG
(sometimes known as the Skene gland), but the UVG has most often
been considered a fiction, a myth or irrelevant. Thus, its secretion,
amrita, has similarly been considered a fiction, myth or irrelevant.
Only one venue has openly acknowledged and exploited amrita:
the adult movie industry. However, such endorsement predictably
added to the rationales for making light of or ignoring this aspect
of femininity.
