- and a clear thin ejaculate out of tiny glands near the vaginal opening called the Skene's glands. It can squirt or gush or just dribble down. It can be a lot, a little, or none at all. Not many women ever get a lot, and plenty of women claim they never have it. The glands' location can vary a lot, they are extremely tiny, and it seems that a few women don't even have them. They actually open into the urethra, hence many women think they have peed. I don't think many studies have been done about them. The ejaculate is filtered blood plasma, so it is clear. Many women are embarrassed, thinking they have peed, and go to doctors to ask to stop the peeing, so it's possible that there are more women 'ejaculating' than the world realizes.
Strangely enough the Skene's glands are analogous to the prostate.
(As for putting your face in a pillow, I wouldn't call that asphyxiation. But at least it's safe.)
Correction- the fluid doesn't come out of the urethra. The glands are just very close to it.
Also, the correct word is homologous, not analogous, to the prostate. Both produce a fluid of similar composition.
