    However, women claiming to have ejaculations who have agreed to
    urethral catheterization
    prior to intercourse expelled large volumes of urine through the catheter at orgasm.

    A recent study of women who report ejaculation found no evidence of any urological problems, suggesting these two conditions (ejaculation and coital incontinence) are quite distinct physiologically, although perhaps not always distinguishable in a particular individual's mind.

    Critics have maintained that ejaculation is either stress incontinence or
    vaginal lubrication
    . Research in this area has concentrated almost exclusively on attempts to prove that the ejaculate is not urine,

    measuring substances such as
    urea
    ,
    creatinine

    prostatic acid phosphatase

    levels. Early work was contradictory; the initial study on one woman by Addiego and colleagues reported in 1981,

    could not be confirmed in a subsequent study on 11 women in 1983,
    73
    but was confirmed in another 7 women in 1984.

    In 1985 a different group studied 27 women, and found only urine,

    suggesting that results depend critically on the methods used.
