Is female ejaculation (a.k.a. "squirting") the stuff of urban legends...or more of rare-but-real-diamond-in-the-rough situation? The answer: definitely real.
If it happens to you, you’ll feel a big gush coming out of your vagina. You’ll probably think oh my god, I just peed all over my partner! But at the same time, it’ll probably feel good, too. So is it actually pee? And, if not, where the heck is it coming from?
10 to 54 percent of women experience female ejaculation.
Research shows that for most women, there’s usually about two ounces of clear fluid in the gush, which is enough to get your sheets pretty wet. And women who do it report ejaculating a few times a week.
Truth is, eh, it’s probably not all pee, but researchers aren’t so sure yet. Some experts say that the fluid unquestionably comes from the skene’s glands (tiny glands surrounding the urethra) and it’s not pee, while others say that it’s absolutely urine, explains Lauren Streicher, M.D., medical director of the Northwestern Medicine Center for Sexual Medicine and Menopause . “This is controversial, and it’s also difficult to study. I think that both are true,” she says.
What does that mean? Well, while some women do have an "ejaculation" from the glands, others may release more diluted urine. Or, both things could be happening at the same time. (It's complicated. Okay?!)
More importantly, Streicher says that to experience female ejaculation during sex is normal, but it’s also normal if you don’t do it.
Nope. Research shows that 10 to 54 percent of women squirt. If you’re feeling left out because it hasn’t happened to you, sex therapist and sexologist Alex Robboy, founder of SexTherapy.com , says that you may be able to learn. (Not every expert agrees on this, FYI. Streicher doubts that the skill can be developed.)
80 percent of women who squirt say it has improved their sex lives.
Yes! Nearly 80 percent of women and 90 percent of their partners who've experienced this said it was good for their sex lives—so why not give it a go?
You may or may not get there—again it’s not clear if it’s a born or learned skill—but "you should definitely try to set yourself up for it, because it’s fun,” says Robboy. Follow these tips:
Stimulate the G-Spot: Again, while it hasn't been thoroughly studied, sex therapists like Robboy have found ejaculation often happens during G-spot stimulation . You can find your G-spot by sticking a finger in your vagina and making a “come hither” motion—you know you located the spot if you feel an almond-sized area with wrinkly skin, Robboy says.
Get a toy: “You really need intense G-spot stimulation,” says sex therapist Vanessa Marin . Fingers get tired, and a penis is rarely enough, so a special vibrator it is. She likes the Njoy Pure G Spot Metal Wand . It’s stainless steel, so you know it’s powerful. “The curve hits your G-spot in a nice way,” she says.
Hop on top: Not going to lie, it may be difficult to squirt during sex—especially in the beginning. But if you’re game, it can't hurt to try with a partner. Woman-on-top positions—whether you’re facing him or reverse cowgirl -ing it—helps you better control the angle of his penis. Reverse cowgirl is most likely to help him hit the spot just right, says Robboy.
Don’t hold back: Just like you wouldn’t hold back an orgasm, don’t do it here, says Robboy. Just breathe, relax, and let your body do its thing.

Female Ejaculate: Is it urine? What is female ejaculation

We are all pretty used to male ejaculate (aka “cum”). Female ejaculate, however, is another story. Men see their own on a regular basis, at the moment of orgasm or on their partner’s body after sex or a sock/towel after masturbation.
Women often see male ejaculate during oral sex or somewhere on their body or sheets after sex. And we all see it in almost any scene in adult movies, commonly called the ‘money shot’ because an adult film does not make money without it. There is even a genre dedicated to men showing off their life-giving liquid to one central lady who is happily lapping it up – called bukkake.
In other words, male ejaculate is a known, vital and lively substance.
Women’s (female ejaculate), on the other hand, is a much more debated substance. Some say it is made up of urine, others say it is made of prostatic fluid (just like men’s ejaculate minus the semen) and still others say it doesn’t even exist.
Female Ejaculate: Urine or not urine?
There has been much debate over whether the fluid that spurts or seeps out of the urethral opening is actually urine. Analysis of the thicker ejaculate has found only small traces of urine in the fluid (similar to what is found in male ejaculate), in quantities that make sense if it were picking it up as it moves through the lower portion of the urethra.
More reasons we know it is not urine.
So, what is female ejaculate made of then?
Many studies (starting in 1981), show the biochemical makeup of female ejaculate to have a the major components of male ejaculate (without the sperm) including:
It has been suggested that there are two types of ejaculate. One is thinner in consistency and associated with the more voluminous “gushing” or “squirting.” And the other, a thicker, whiter fluid that is associated with the less obvious “seeping” or “eking.” With the latter mimicking male prostatic fluid.
A new study has come out suggesting that the “squirting” style of female ejaculation does come from the bladder and contains some components of urine. The jury is still out on the relevance of this study because of how small the sample was — only 7 women. We need more data.
But, are we asking the right question?
Whether female ejaculate is chemically made up of the components of urine or not, is not the right question. A better question would be, what do people ‘experience’ with female ejaculation? Anecdotal evidence from women who “squirt,” and the men who are with women who squirt, still say that the fluid does not smell or look like urine. One lesbian sex therapist who squirts told us, “it smells and tastes like a woman, not urine. Isn’t that what is important?”
Many women ejaculate. Recent numbers show that only 34% don’t ejaculate in some form or another. Do we really want women to stop enjoying their orgasms because they are afraid it might contain some pee? We don’t seem to have the same concern with men’s ejaculate.
Many women already have trouble reaching orgasm. Let’s not add another self-conscious concern to the list.
One theory is that female ejaculate may have anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Substances that are found in female ejaculate, such as zinc, are known to help guard the delicate genital tissues against infection.
The fluid that is ejaculated is clear or white, that looks quite different urine. For some it has been compared to fat-free milk in consistency, while for others describe it as thicker and white.
The fluid that is ejaculated has little smell or taste. A while it may have a faint smell of urine, that is because it comes travels in the same place as urine. But, in general female ejaculate neither tastes nor smells like urine. It does taste and smell different for each woman, in different times of her cycle and what she has been eating or drinking.
Foods that affect the taste and smell of female ejaculate:
* if you are worried about the taste and smell of your ejaculate keep well hydrated to dilute any concentrated smells.
Female ejaculators come in two quite different groups, one that ejaculates large amounts (1 c.), “gushers” or “squirters,” and others that “eke” out small amounts (1 teaspoon) of usually thicker liquid.
Female ejaculate is a magical liquid that can encourage pleasure and excitement in many woman’s sex lives.
Now, I can only imagine a new genre in adult film – fem-bukkake – where several women encircle and ejaculate on a central man, as he laps up every bit!

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.
