Too Shy, What you describe sounds a lot like what is advertised as a female ejaculation. It is somewhat controversial as to the origin of the "liquid", however, those that have this phenomenon will swear, as you, that it does not represent urine. There is some thought that it represents an expression of secretions from periuretheral glands. This is usually associated with orgasm, but it may be that you were close enough that it happened without actually reaching the main event. Needless to say, this is not harmful and should certainly not be embarassing... Lynn
