Arousal Fluid

Arousal Fluid is the correct medical and physiological term for the slippery fluid a woman's body produces to facilitate sexual intercourse. There are many slang terms. Arousal Fluid is mostly produced by increased blood pressure and capillary action around the vaginal opening. The fluid is actually ultrafiltrated blood. The transudate (fluid) is mainly composed of water and very small proteins, which combine at the vaginal surface with dead epithelial (skin) cells. A small amount of fluid is also secreted during arousal by the Bartholin's Glands. Two small ducts, one on either side of the inside of the labia minora (inner lips) at the 5 and 7 o'clock positions.
