[2] [3] Although there remains debate about the function of the Skene's glands, one purpose is to secrete a fluid that helps lubricate the urethral opening. [2] [3] Skene's glands produce a milk-like ultrafiltrate of blood plasma. The glands may be the source of female ejaculation, [3] [4] [5] but this has not been proven. [4]

The vaginal lining has no glands, and therefore the vagina must rely on other methods of lubrication. Plasma from the vaginal walls due to vascular engorgement is considered to be the chief lubrication source, and the Bartholin's glands , located slightly below and to the left and right of the introitus (vaginal opening), also secrete mucus to ...
