Prevalence of squirting among women.

19% said they ejaculate daily

32% ejaculate a few times a week

28% ejaculate a few times a month

9% ejaculate once a month

12% ejaculate less than monthly

You need the right kind of physical pressure or stimulation, usually applied on the upper interior wall of the vagina in the so-called G-spot area.

You need to have the right timing in terms of level of arousal: The person who's going to squirt must be already quite aroused by the time they're receiving this G-spot stimulation.

You need to be open to it: The person who's going to squirt needs to be in the right psychological state, open to the idea of squirting, and able to physically aid in the process by not trying to "hold it in." ( Peeing before sex might give you some peace of mind!)

There's a lot of fascination and mystery around the concept of squirting. Squirting is a colloquial term for a specific type of gushing ejaculatory response that some vagina owners can have during sex. Unfortunately, there's been so little thorough research done on this relatively common sexual occurrence, so even the most basic questions about squirting don't have clear-cut answers. For example: Can everyone do it? Here's what we know.
There isn't enough scientific research thus far to know whether all women can squirt. Studies have found anywhere from 10 to 54% of women experience some form of female ejaculation, according to a 2013 review of the literature . But some sex experts believe all people with vaginas can likely learn how to squirt with the right technique and under the right conditions.
There are two separate types of ejaculate released by vagina owners, and one of them—the type most commonly described as "squirting"—may be something most vagina owners can do, according to Zhana Vrangalova, Ph.D. , a sex researcher and professor at New York University. This type of ejaculate is thought to originate from the bladder , and the clear and odorless fluid that's released comes out through the urethra in relatively large quantities. Because all women have a bladder and urethra, Vrangalova says it's likely that most women can learn how to squirt this type of fluid with the right stimulation.
"My best educated guess as a psychologist and a scientist, someone who's been looking through this data, is that probably the vast majority of vagina owners can be made to expel that type of ejaculate, the one that comes through the urethra, provided the right kind of pressure, the right time physiologically," she says.
But the jury is still out: "We don't know, but no study has ever found that most people with vaginas squirt large amounts of fluid," says Debby Herbenick, Ph.D. , a sex researcher, professor at the Indiana University School of Public Health, and author of The Coregasm Workout . "But who knows? It's an area ripe for research."
Studies show between 10 and 54% of women have experienced some form of female ejaculation. Among women who do squirt, most say it happens pretty regularly. One 2013 study surveyed 230 women who've experienced squirting to ask how often it happened:
Some 19% of these squirters said it happens nearly every time they have a sexual encounter.
While the term "squirting" is often used to describe the clear, gushing type of ejaculate that likely comes from the bladder, the term "female ejaculation" is used to describe a second, separate type of ejaculate that's thought to originate from Skene glands. (Here's our full explainer on what squirt is if you want to get into the nitty-gritty details.)
Sometimes referred to as the " female prostate ," Skene glands are located in the area around the urethra, known as the urethral sponge. The ejaculate from Skene glands is a white, milky fluid that has chemical similarities to semen .
This second type of ejaculate is released in much smaller quantities, Vrangalova notes, because Skene glands are quite tiny compared to the bladder, which can hold and release quite a lot of liquid. If this smaller, milkier "female ejaculation" happens without the gushing fluid from the bladder, it's possible that some women may not even notice it.
Skene glands are also still a bit of a mystery themselves: "There have been a couple of these anatomical studies on cadavers that have dissected that area trying to find Skene glands, and they can't really find them in everyone!" Vrangalova explains. "So it's possible that maybe 30 or 40% of vulva owners and vagina owners don't even have them."
If not all vagina owners have Skene glands, then it's possible that those without these glands aren't able to experience this form of ejaculation. To make things even more complicated, Vrangalova notes that even among people who do have Skene glands, there are differences in the anatomical structure from person to person.
For what it's worth, squirting coaches do exist who claim they can teach people how to squirt. Herbenick says she's heard mixed reports about these types of classes, but Vrangalova has heard of more promising results, saying some squirting coaches have success rates of 90% or higher. But without controls and schematic recordkeeping, she notes that these anecdotal reports can't be considered conclusive evidence that all women can squirt.
There's one study from 1984 in which researchers had 27 women come into a clinic to try to squirt for the first time. "They'd ask them if they'd ever squirted before, and if they said no, they asked them, would you like to be part of this study where we try to get you to squirt?" Vrangalova explains. "So what they had was four different sessions, lasting up to an hour each, where the researcher tried to get these women to squirt. Only about a third of them managed to squirt after four sessions."
Some 37% of women were able to squirt from the experiment; 67% couldn't. But because of the small sample size in the study, these numbers really can't be generalized to the broader population. (And notably, it's presumably a lot harder to have a squirting orgasm when you're in a lab setting being touched by a random scientist than it is when you're in the comfort of your own home with a partner who really turns you on.)
Vrangalova says there are three key factors in learning how to squirt:
There's no conclusive evidence on whether or not all women can squirt. We do know that all women have bladders and urethras, two of the body parts involved in producing the gushing squirting effect, which suggests that it's something any woman can learn to do in theory.
"Is this a worthy goal to work toward? You know, I don't know," Vrangalova notes. "I've been hearing a lot of people getting kind of fixated on achieving this goal, and I don't necessarily think that you need to have that in order to have a fulfilling sexual life in any way, shape, or form."
If you're interested in squirting, give it a go! If it doesn't happen, no biggie. Lots of people have very good sex and lots of orgasms without ever squirting, and there are endless other fun things to try.

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.
