Question:
I'd like to know about female ejaculation. I gush profusely when I have an orgasm and it embaresses me. Where does it come from? Am I peeing?

It is possible that you ejaculate during orgasm, and it is also possible that you are leaking urine. It is hard to tell for sure without involving more elaborate testing of your fluids, which is an option. You are in your fifties and have had this problem for about ten years. Are you incontinent in other non-sexual situations? Whatever the origins of the gushes are they embarrass you, and this is important to deal with. Many women who release excessive fluids during intercourse and sex put down towels or protective sheets. There are many fluids involved in sex (sweat, ejaculate, saliva, etc.) and it can be relieving just to let it all flow.
The book The Clitoral Truth by Rebecca Chalker has a whole chapter on female ejaculation, and there are a lot of case stories, some of which you may be able to identify with. The book also has some very good illustrations about the female genitals, giving most women a new and better understanding of their anatomy.
Have you addressed this topic with a physician or urologist? In case you are suffering from incontinence you may want to start out with improving the tone of your pelvic floor muscles. You can do this by doing Kegel exercises, and/or by training your pelvic floor muscles with a vaginal exerciser, such as GyneFlex. Read more about this device at www.GyneFlex.com. I am not aware of any formal research regarding this product but it may be worth a try.
