Please describe and refer to anatomical chart on page 6.
 (1) All I know is it comes from vaginal region
 (2) Don’t know - comes out urethra
 (3) Some urination from urethra and it feels like the rest of it comes up from halfway up  the inside of my vagina
 (5) About a third of the way inside the vaginal upper wall thick fleshy area swells (it ___   w/fluid and pushes out from there)
 (7) It feels like it comes out of the walls of the vagina
 (8) Don't know --- don’t think it is urine, must be some other gland

10. During the fluid expelling phase of sexual activity, have you ever had any negative responses from your partner?
   Yes  (1) (2) (8)
   No (3) (4) (5) (7)

10. A. If yes, did this occur during your partner’s first experience with this phenomenon?
  Yes  (1) (2)     No   (8)

 B. If you continued the relationship, did your partner’s negative reaction continue?
  Yes  (1)     No  (2) (8)

 C. Briefly describe what you feel were the basic reasons for your partner’s negative  response(s): (1) At first, lots of shame.  Thought I wasn’t in control of urine; (2) Ignorance; (8) Thought it was urine (not my regular partner)

11. Did you assume that expelling fluid was a natural female response during sexual activity?
   Yes (3) (5) (7) (8)
   No (1) (2)

If yes or no, briefly describe your reasons for feeling this way:
 (1) Thought I wasn’t in control of urine; (2) Ignorance; (5) I had read about it by then and  knew what to expect; (8) I believe that sex is sacred and all that happens is sacred  during sex

12. What two lovemaking techniques used simultaneously would be most likely to bring you to the orgasmic (expelling fluid) stage during sexual activity?
 1.  (1) Oral sex; (2) oral; (3) his fingers on my clit/labia & moving often to G spot and back; (4) manual stimulation:(5) digital stimulation of G spot or with wand; (7) anal digital w/oral clitoral; (8) hand on clit
 2. (1) hand stimulation; (2) digital; (3) my fingers on my nipples; (4) oral pleasuring: (5) clitoral stimulation; (7) vaginal digital w/oral clitoral; (8) hand inside me

In the same situation described above:
 A. Would you be multiorgasmic?  Yes (1) (2) (3) (4)(5) (7) (8)  No

 B. Approximately what length of time after the initial use of these two techniques are you able  to achieve orgasm with expelling fluid?  (Answer in terms of second, minutes, etc.)
 (1) 10-15 minutes; (2) 5-10 minutes; (3) On a “hot” day, 2 minutes; normally, 5-10  minutes; (4) from 10 seconds to a few minutes; (5) never timed it, couldn’t say, too  varied; (7) 3-4 minutes; (8) 5 seconds

 C. Do you usually expel fluid with the first orgasm?   Yes (3)
                                                                               No (1) (2) (4) (7) (8)
                                                                             Sometimes (5)

 D. After the first orgasm in which you expel fluid, do you continue to expel fluid with each  succeeding orgasm?
   Yes (2) (3) (4) (7)
   No (1)
   (5 ) not always at time of peak orgasm
   (8) sometimes

13. Do you feel that you can control your ability to expel fluid?

   Yes (1) (3) (4) (5) somewhat (7)sometimes (8)sometimes-usually
   No (2)

If yes or no, briefly describe how this ability or inability makes you feel:
   (1) powerful
   (2) Once in a while ( I experience) performance anxiety if a man expects it (expel fluid).  But (it is) pleasurable for me whether or not I expel fluid.
   (3) I’d be able to control the fluid by backing off of strong sensations or by contracting or by stopping the sexing but why would I want to exercise this control?
   (4) When I feel relaxed I can let go easily but when circumstances are not real safe, I can and will hold back
   (5) Great, want more ability
 

14. Is there any information regarding either the expulsion of fluid or any other relevant subject that you can think of that has not been covered in previous questions about which you would comment.

 (3) My connection to my partner’s penis (either in my hand or in my mouth) carries a very strong influence on my ejaculatory behavior.
 (4) Yes.  When I feel emotional intimacy which brings about the richest rewards in orgasmic ejaculate.  Amrita sometimes seems to come from the brain and wash straight through the entire body on its way out.
 (5) This questionnaire seems to suppose that the expulsion happens with orgasm.  That is not my experience or that of other women I have talked with.  Expulsion happens without orgasm before - also has happened in erotic dance contact (could be          incontinence) - has happened while giving oral sex to male partner - more regularly through with digital stimulation as with wand and oral sex or clitoral stimulation - it all depends on all the stimulation and foreplay around it and how I’m feeling emotionally with my partner.  Does my heart feel safe to come out and play - then it happens in penis penetration as well or other.
 (7) There may be an additional “G spot” accessed through the anus.
 (8) I have gone for 7 hours coming & expelling fluid w/out drinking any water.

This questionnaire contains selected items from the survey instrument, “Perceptions of Female Sexual Response Patterns” by J. Kenneth Davidson, Sr., Carol Anderson Darling, Florida State University, and Colleen Conway-Welch, Vanderbilt University which are being used by permission of the authors.
