Reading the Books of Steve Almond & The Female Ejaculate

I'm reading a Steve Almond collection today. I've always liked his shorts. I should have known though that a story of his first published in Playboy would have a least one detail that would send my jaw dropping. My Life In Heavy Metal takes on the little-discussed topic of female ejaculation. There's enough detail both to keep the average Playboy reader's attention and to write a lecture for a gynecological seminar. I still don't know if I buy it though. A woman who gushes out enough liquid to make a two-foot stain on the bedspread? Can this really happen? Anyone know for sure (from...er, um...personal experience)?
