If he did have webs as part of his super hero powers, the webs would probably come out of his butt and not his wrist. OK, that's a mental image I really didn't

When he transformed into man-spider in the fox tv show, i think he actually did shoot webs from his arms. Don't recall if there was a more human version of him that did shoot webs as a super power over technology.

  The first movie series with Toby McGuire had the webs as biologically produced (aka super-power). The comics always had them as spinners that he'd strap onto his wrists and that would occasionally run dry, adding plot complications. Like the story said, the movies didn't want to get into the development of them, so took the simpler explanation of "he's part spider, duh!" I did however, like the scene where the camera zoomed in on the barbs on his palms that let him grasp buildings, etc.

    Sam Raimi stated that the reason for the biological webbing was the implausibility of a high school kid in his room developing a super-strong adhesive that Dow Chemical (or Oscorp) couldn't. The Amazing films, for all their faults, did a pretty good job of justifying his mechano-chemical web shooters (he stole super-webbing from genetically engineered, farmed spiders at Oscorp).

  Sorta. When he had the black suit that turned out to be a symbiote, it allowed him to shoot webbing without technology. He shot them out on the back of his hands as opposed to the traditional from the palm. But I believe there have been versions of the character that had organic webbing, but it's been a while for me so I don't know what the latest ideas are.

There's a superhero webcomic called Spinerette that includes this - the titular heroine shoots webbing out of her tailbone, and is quite grumpy that this isn't nearly as cool as Spider-man's power.
