KJHK CALLER ASKS:
Last night, my girlfriend and I used a strapon for the first time. After climaxing (which was intense), I noticed a large wet spot on the sheets. She told me I had ejaculated, but I want to make sure it isn't something else (like urine).
MICHELLE ANSWERS:
Research suggests female ejaculation occurs in all women. However, not all women secrete the vaginal fluid associated with ejaculation. The Skene's gland, located inside the vaginal wall and considered to be the "female prostate," produces the fluid associated with female ejaculation. When a woman climaxes and does not ejaculate, the process that occurs is similar to the male dry ejaculation. As the pubococcygeus (PC) muscles contract with orgasm, the fluid is pushed internally and reabsorbed into the body, often into the bladder. Studies monitoring the prostate specific androgen (PSA) levels (produced by the Skene's gland as well as the prostate) in women resulted in the following: PSA was not detected in the urine of women who ejaculated during orgasm, but PSA was detected in the urine of women who did not ejaculate during orgasm. A retrograde, or dry, ejaculation is not harmful for women, but can be harmful for men. A chronic recurrence of dry ejaculation in men should warrant a visit to the doctor.
I would argue the fluid you discovered after orgasm was the result of a female ejaculation, not urination. Lucky for you, women who ejaculate during orgasm report more intense and pleasurable orgasms. Perhaps this ejaculation resulted from the introduction of a strapon toy. Keep using it and see if you can repeat this experience. Try the same on your girlfriend
and have fun with new positions. For those of you who would like to experience this kind of orgasm, instead of contracting inward your PC muscles during orgasm, focus on a release and extension of those muscles. Enjoy the experiences that come with your sexual exploration.

HOW WE MET // ADAM RANKIN & BETH NEWTON
You can get more than groceries from Alco, a Dollar General-type store in Hutchinson. At least alumnus Adam Rankin and senior Beth Newton can say that. The two met while working at the store during high school, though they attended different schools.
Beth, a senior at the time, always thought that Adam, then a junior, was shy and geeky, but really cute. With the help of mutual friends, she got the chance to talk to him at the Alco Christmas party. "I wasn't going to go, but a friend convinced me to take her," Adam says. "I called her two hours before."
Beth, of course, accepted the invitation. The night was awkward and full of small talk, but for Beth, it was much more. "I was over the moon excited to be with him," she says.
After the party, the two started hanging out. A usual weekend entailed watching "Saturday Night Live" in Beth's parents' basement while eating Swedish Fish. The relationship lasted after Beth graduated and went to junior college. But after Adam graduated the next year and started attending KU in 2004, the relationship ended.
They reconnected in 2008 when Beth enrolled at KU. On a whim, they decided to move in together since Beth didn't have a place to live. Beth moved in with Adam in January of 2009. They continued where they left off — with "Saturday Night Live" and Swedish Fish.
On New Year's Eve, Adam proposed to Beth. The two started 2010 engaged and will go into 2012 married. Adam and Beth's wedding is on Nov. 5th at Danforth Chapel on the University's campus.

Qualls said that the $800,000 project will install cable barriers two miles east of Eudora, and two miles along the Kansas Highway 7 interchange in Johnson County. KDOT will finance the project, which is expected to begin next summer.
"The installation of the cable median barriers at these two sections is to alleviate vehicles — hopefully — from crossing over the median," she said.
Following the double-fatality accident last April, Scott Hopson, the Mayor of Eudora, wrote Gov. Sam

Hopson said that he and other citizens of Douglas and Johnson Counties initially asked the state to install cable barriers along the entire stretch of K-10. However, the group scaled backed their request after KDOT recommended a more economically feasible plan.
