Skene's glands (paraurethral glands) are located around the urethra and are considered embryologically homologous to the male prostate—both develop from the same progenitor tissue early in fetal development.

Anatomical Location These small glands are located along the urethra, near the G-spot area — which explains why G-stimulation is often associated with the release of fluid.

Function: According to existing studies (including a 2007 anatomical study), these glands secrete a fluid that contains prostate-specific antigen (PSA) — the same protein that the male prostate produces.

Individual differences in size Some women have these glands more developed, while others have them almost imperceptible—this directly explains why the experience of squirting varies so significantly between women.
