How they do so is unclear, since there are no glands in the vaginal walls, and this is a subject of continuing study...

Three Slaves. In between are such notables as Caspar Bartholin (1655-1738), who identified the vulvovaginal lubricating glands; Giovanni Battista Morgagni (1682-1771), a versatile anatomist; Friedrich Trendelenburg (1844-1924), who perfected the head-down, hips-up position for surgery on the pelvis; Isidor Clinton Rubin (1883-1958), who devised a way of blowing C02 through the Fallopian tubes as a fertility test; and the team of Selmar Aschheim, 80, and Bernhard Zondek, 67, whose mouse test has answered-millions of times, quickly and accurately-the question: "Am I pregnant...
