What is female sperm or female semen called?

Females do not produce sperm or semen. They produce a liquid when sexually excited, but it has no sperm in it. Edited: Neil L No one said it was actually sperm or semen the question was what is it called. Males produce the listed terms while female ejaculation has no specific term. However the contractual term for the reciprocating relevant event associated with SPERM would be ovum or egg but this is not the same as the fluid produced during sexual activities for a female as semen is for a male. Semen for a male also does not necessarily carry sperm as a male will still produce this even after a vasectomy. These two terms are separate in definition but related in event.
