Dear hotstuf4,

Good question! "Cumming" or "coming" is often used as a slang term for having an orgasm, which is the release of built-up muscle tension resulting from sexual activity. "Cumming" or "coming" can also refer to ejaculation. In men, orgasm is usually accompanied by ejaculation. Ejaculation can also occur in women, but it's much less common — about 10 percent of women report ejaculating during orgasm. Ejaculation in both women and men involves the release of fluid from the urethra — the tube that carries urine out of the body — during intense sexual arousal. In men, it contains sperm. The fluid that is ejaculated in women and men does not contain urine.

Hope this information helps!

Take care,
