Do Women Really Squirt

Squirting refers to fluid expelled from the vagina during orgasm. Not all people with vaginas squirt during orgasm, and those who do may only squirt some of the time. This type of orgasm includes a rapid ejection of urine from the bladder.
Squirting sometimes also involves secretions from the skene's gland. The skene's glands are sometimes called the female prostate because they function similarly to the male prostate.
A squirting orgasm is sometimes called female ejaculation. But this term excludes non-binary and trans people who are not female but have vaginas.
A recent study has shown that there is a difference between squirting, female ejaculation, and incontinence during sex. However, the term squirting is used to describe all three in everyday language.
All three of these phenomena involve fluid coming from the bladder during sex. Squirting is the expulsion of urine during an orgasm. Female ejaculation is a release of both urine and a substance from the skene's glands. Sexual incontinence — also called coital incontinence — is when someone loses control of their bladder during sex.
Ejaculation in people with vaginas may include a small release of a milky white liquid that does not gush out. Squirting, on the other hand, is usually a higher volume. It is possible to squirt and ejaculate at the same time.
Squirting is real. In fact, scientists have documented the phenomenon. However, more research is needed to determine the exact causes of squirting and female ejaculation.
Part of the ambiguity about squirting is that the skene's glands vary from person to person. Some people with vaginas don't have any, while others have very small ones.
Myth: Everyone Can Squirt If They Try the Same Method
Each person's experience with squirting is different. While some methods can make people squirt more than others, there is no one proven method that makes every person with a vagina squirt. This is because each vagina is different. As mentioned, some vaginas lack the skene's glands which are thought to create the fluid released during ejaculation in people who have vulvas.
Myth: Squirting Orgasms are Always High Volume
Squirting isn't always a high volume event that soaks the sheets. Sometimes it is a small trickle or a stream of fluid.
The depiction of squirting in porn movies often shows large gushes of squirting liquid. Porn producers fake some of these depictions for dramatic effect. All volumes and forms of squirting are valid. Squirting at different volumes is a normal occurrence during sex for many people.
Myth: Squirting or Ejaculation Only Happens During Orgasm
Some people can squirt or ejaculate before or after an orgasm. Squirting can also occur at the same time as an orgasm. Some people also have multiple spurts of squirting spread over a few minutes.
Explore squirting by yourself or with a partner to find out what works for you.
Some sex experts recommend stimulating the g-spot to achieve a squirting orgasm. Either by yourself or with a partner, take some time to find the g-spot with your fingers and/or sex toys. Pressure on the g-spot may make you feel the need to urinate.
Experiment with different methods of bringing yourself or your partner to a squirting orgasm with g-spot stimulation. Some ideas include:
For some people, putting too much pressure on the g-spot can feel uncomfortable. Listen to your body and do what feels good. If you are too tense it may be harder to orgasm or squirt.

What does it mean when she squirts?
If you think the highest form of compliment in the boudoir is a woman having an orgasm for you , let me be the one to tell you there’s one accolade even greater: Squirting. It only happens when you do something very, very right.
Squirting, more scientifically known as female ejaculation, is the “expulsion of liquid from the genito-urinary tract in women during sexual activity,” and more often than not, it happens during orgasm .
But surely you’ve heard the rumor that when women squirt, they actually just pee a little, right? Yeah…it’s basically the enigma of the century at this point, and nobody knows if squirt is pee, or if it’s something entirely its own.
Knowing the debate over squirt is very real, Woodrocket took the opportunity to ask some of your favorite porn stars to weigh in on what they think squirting is , because who would know better than them?
“Squirt tastes like sugar water,” says porn star Jenna J. Ross, adamant that there’s a solid difference between the two. “There’s a very distinctive flavor profile difference between urine and squirt.”
Trinity St. Clair, however, begs to differ. “Squirt is pee! That is too much liquid for your body. No, no. Squirt is pee,” she declares.
So…what’s the truth about squirting? What is it, really? Is it an unintentional golden shower, or is it something else? Since we couldn’t get a definite answer from porn stars, let’s turn our attention to science, because scientific research tends to resolve everything.
For the study , researchers recruited seven women who reported “massive fluid emission during sexual stimulation,” and gave them a series of three ultrasounds. First, the women were asked to use the bathroom to see how their bladders looked when totally empty, and then, they were asked to get themselves super aroused, and once they were, another ultrasound showed that their bladders had filled back up.
Lastly, the participants were asked to orgasm, and one last ultrasound revealed that their bladders were empty once again, proving squirt is basically piss.
However, the researchers analyzed the squirt, and found that there were small amounts of “prostatic secretions,” meaning squirting is a killer combo of pee and other non-urine fluids. “Our results lead us to conclude that squirting and the so-called ‘female ejaculation’ essentially are two distinct events,” the authors conclude.
Furthermore, according to Dr. Zhana Vrangalova, a NYC-based sex researcher and professor at NYU, there seem to be two types of female ejaculation: The first is a small amount of white, milky fluid that comes from the Skene’s glands, a.k.a. the female equivalent of the prostate. But interestingly, it’s believed that only about half of women have these glands, so not all women can have this type of female ejaculation.
The second kind of squirting is the gushing type that you see in porn, and it’s usually a clear and odorless fluid that comes from and passes through the bladder, essentially meaning we can call it pee.
Now, if you’re super grossed out that by the fact that some female ejaculate is technically pee and you and never want to make a woman squirt ever again, let me ease your mind by informing you that it’s super diluted, and not a huge deal in the gran scheme of things.“It’s not like you’re peeing on somebody—it’s very diluted urine,” says Dr. Debby Herbenick , a researcher at Indiana University.
Besides, did you know that your cum has pee in it too? Yup . “In both cases, the fluid comes through the urethra—only in women, it rests briefly in the bladder first,” Herbenick says. “In the end, we all just have to become comfortable with the fact that sex involves the genitals and the genitals are down there. It’s a big, messy thing—but it’s worth it!”
So there you have it. Squirt is sometimes pee, sometimes not. Case closed.

Female ejaculation has something of a mythical reputation when it comes to sexual health topics. Everyone has questions: Can a vagina actually ejaculate like a penis? If it can, is that even normal? And what comes out, anyway? To get answers, we reached out to sex experts, who separated the myths from the facts.

Put simply, "vaginal ejaculation is the expulsion of fluid through the urethra during sexual arousal (but not necessarily orgasm)," New York–based sex educator Corinne Kai tells Health .

Does that mean vaginas can ejaculate? Well, that is why the phenomenon is colloquially known as squirting. But "what women define as 'ejaculation' varies widely, and there is no accepted scientific standard for qualifying as female ejaculation by the volume or speed of the expulsion," Nicole Prause, PhD, a sex researcher at UCLA, tells Health .

So while one person might experience more of a forceful stream of liquid, another might feel a gushing sensation. "The fluid amount tends to range between 30 and 150 milliliters," says Kai, which can be just a drop of liquid or so much that you soak your bedsheets. "Sometimes people don't even realize they ejaculated until they move and see a wet spot, while others can feel when it's happening," she adds. "It depends on your body."

The first major study that looked into squirting back in 2014 determined the liquid was actually pee. Yep, "the fluid comes from the bladder," says Prause. Researchers found urea, creatinine, and uric acid concentrations—all major components of urine—in the excretions of all seven study participants. (Keep in mind that's a tiny sample size, and it's hardly considered representative of half the world's population).

But the ejaculate is also not pee. "Many have argued that squirting isn't real and that people who experience this just need to go to the bathroom before sex," says Kai. "It is released through your urethra, but it's been found to resemble enzymes found in male prostate fluid. " The male prostate gland sits between the bladder and penis and secretes fluid to help nourish sperm.

While the liquid may contain small amounts of urine, additional research suggests that the milky white fluid comes from the Skene's glands, which are "tucked inside the wall of your vagina near the urethra sponge, right at the G-spot," says Kai. "The location explains why sensations along this erogenous zone have been associated with vaginal ejaculation."

Male ejaculate delivers sperm to the female reproductive system, and procreation depends on it. But scientists aren't quite sure of the purpose of the Skene's glands, which are also known as the female prostate. Nor do they understand the reason women ejaculate.

"There have been many studies done about whether or not vaginal ejaculation is related to the menstrual cycle or pregnancy, but none have been proven," says Kai. "However, some researchers have found that vaginal ejaculation could provide a secretion that could protect against UTIs or even contain antimicrobial components like zinc."

If you believe the multitude of squirting videos that exist on porn websites, it certainly seems so. "I suspect that 'female ejaculation' is portrayed as a way to suggest that the female performers are actually turned on," says Prause. Thanks to their availability on porn sites, female ejaculation has become somewhat of a novelty—and also something many women think they should be able to do.

Yet only 10 to 50 percent of women experience "involuntary ejaculation," according to the International Society for Sexual Medicine. Because "we don't know how this expulsion is triggered, it's impossible to know at this time whether some women may be more or less prone to experience it," says Prause.

So despite what porn would have you believe, not every person with a vagina can or will experience ejaculation. "Sex researchers [believe] that G-spot stimulation increases the probability of being able to experience ejaculation, and sex coaches have said that it can be learned," says Kai. "It's likely that the sensation before vaginal ejaculation holds people back from releasing their muscles and allowing it to happen. It can feel like you have to pee right before vaginal ejaculation, which is linked to a lot of shame or embarrassment in people not wanting to pee on their partners."

If you have never ejaculated but want to give it a try, it certainly can't hurt. At the very least, you'll get a lot of pleasure out all the G-spot stimulation, and if you are able to ejaculate, it might be a turn-on for you (or your partner). But as novel as the idea of squirting may seem, remember this: No research has linked female ejaculation to better sex. Your pleasure in bed definitely doesn't depend on your ability to ejaculate or not.
