Back in the early '60's, I had the misfortune of working with a guy
would have sworn on a stack of Olympia Press publications that there
is such a thing as female ejaculation, differing in no way, mutatis
mutandum, from male ejaculation. However, I personally prefer the
observation of that well-known arbiter of American sexuality, Richard
Pryor. According to Mr. Pryor, there is an infallible method by which
a man can determine whether he has satisfied his female partner: if
she falls asleep, she has been satisfied.
