===Female prostate===
{{See also|Skene's gland|Urethral sponge}}

In 2001, the [[International Federation of Associations of Anatomists|Federative Committee on Anatomical Terminology]] accepted ''female prostate'' as a second term for the Skene's gland, which is believed to be found in the G-spot area along the walls of the urethra. The male prostate is biologically [[Homology (biology)|homologous]] to the Skene's gland;<ref name="Lentz">{{cite book|first1=Gretchen M|last1=Lentz|first2=Rogerio A.|last2=Lobo|first3=David M|last3=Gershenson|first4=Vern L.|last4=Katz|title=Comprehensive Gynecology|publisher=[[Elsevier Health Sciences]]|year=2012|access-date=March 9, 2015|page=41|isbn=978-0323091312|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=X5KT_w6Nye8C&pg=PA41|archive-date=December 10, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201210124759/https://books.google.com/books?id=X5KT_w6Nye8C&pg=PA41|url-status=live}}</ref> it has been unofficially called the male G-spot because it can also [[prostate massage|be used as an erogenous zone]].<ref name="Rosenthal"/><ref name="Answer">{{cite book|title=The Orgasm Answer Guide|isbn = 978-0-8018-9396-4|publisher=[[Johns Hopkins University Press|JHU Press]]|year=2009|pages=[https://archive.org/details/orgasmanswerguid00komi/page/108 108]–109|access-date=6 November 2011|url=https://archive.org/details/orgasmanswerguid00komi|url-access=registration|author1-link=Barry Komisaruk|author2-link=Beverly Whipple|author3-link=Sara Nasserzadeh|first1 =Barry R. |last1=Komisaruk |first2=Beverly |last2=Whipple |first3=Sara |last3=Nasserzadeh |first4=Carlos |last4=Beyer-Flores}}</ref>

[[Regnier de Graaf]], in 1672, observed that the secretions (female ejaculation) by the erogenous zone in the vagina lubricate "in agreeable fashion during coitus". Modern scientific hypotheses linking G-spot sensitivity with female ejaculation led to the idea that non-urine female ejaculate may originate from the Skene's gland, with the Skene's gland and male prostate acting similarly in terms of prostate-specific antigen and prostate-specific [[acid phosphatase]] studies,<ref name="Greenberg"/><ref name="Bullough">{{cite book|first1=Vern L.|last1=Bullough|first2=Bonnie|author1-link=Bonnie Bullough|last2=Bullough|author2-link=Vern Bullough|title=Human Sexuality: An Encyclopedia|publisher=[[Routledge]]|year=2014|access-date=October 30, 2014|page=231|isbn=978-1135825096|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UHymAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA231|archive-date=December 10, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201210124728/https://books.google.com/books?id=UHymAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA231|url-status=live}}</ref> which led to a trend of calling the Skene's glands the female prostate.<ref name="Bullough"/> Additionally, the enzyme [[cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase type 5|PDE5]] (involved with [[erectile dysfunction]]) has additionally been associated with the G-spot area.<ref>{{Cite journal|author=Nicola Jones|url=https://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn2495|title=Bigger is better when it comes to the G-Spot|date=3 July 2002|journal=[[New Scientist]]|access-date=28 August 2017|archive-date=6 October 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081006073742/http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn2495|url-status=dead}}</ref> Because of these factors, it has been argued that the G-spot is a system of [[gland]]s and [[duct (anatomy)|ducts]] located within the anterior (front) wall of the vagina.<ref name="Cooks, Barr"/> A similar approach has linked the G-spot with the [[urethral sponge]].<ref name="Irvine">{{cite book|author=Janice M.
