If you watch a decent amount of porn or travel in circles that talk about orgasms a lot you might’ve heard a thing or two about ejaculation or “squirting” that can sometimes when a vagina owner orgasms .
Squirting over the years has gone from a taboo topic to a sought after bedroom experience for some people. A big reason many people used to feel more ashamed or less excited about the idea of squirting when they orgasm is because squirting (also sometimes called “female ejaculation,” though not everyone with a vulva identifies as female) just hasn’t been discussed and understood in the way ejaculation for people with a penis has.
Dr. Michael Ingber, a physician who has done research on the subject of squirting and is board-certified in urology and female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, tells SheKnows that squirting is simply when the person’s ejaculation fluid comes from the urethra.
Similar to penises, vulvas have “a bit of tissue at the junction of the urethra similar to the prostate, which is near the bladder,” he says. This tissue can “squirt” fluid into the urethra during sex or orgasm.
While some people with vulvas expel fluid at the time of orgasm, there is also a condition known as “coital incontinence,” which is different. Coital incontinence is when there’s a large explosion of urine at orgasm, Ingber explains. This is typically something people seek medical assistance with.
When someone with a vulva squirts during orgasm, there is prostatic-specific antigen (PSA) in the fluid. PSA is also “the protein produced in men’s prostate gland,” Ingber says.
Ingber says vulvar ejaculation and squirting are essentially the same thing, although there has been much debate on the subject. While some people with vulvas have a small amount of milky-white discharge after orgasm (known as ejaculate), some expel enough fluid that it’s equivalent to wetting the bed.
Ingber conducted an informational survey and found about 10 percent of people with a vulva squirt during orgasm . He also added that while some people enjoy this experience, others are annoyed by it or find it embarrassing or inconvenient.
A person’s ability to squirt depends on having the proper glands, as some people with a vulva simply “don’t have enough fluid within the gland,” Ingber notes. While there are procedures to fix squirting for those who don’t like it, Ingber says there has been no proof someone who doesn’t do it can teach their body to do. He adds, “it seems to be a natural phenomenon not everyone can do.”
The important thing to remember is whatever your body does during an orgasm is natural, and there should be no shame attached to it. Climaxing is an amazing experience to have on your own or share with a partner, and whether you have a vulva or a penis, the more we understand the way our body works, the more pleasurable the encounter . No one should feel ashamed while having an orgasm ( or not ) for any reason.

When your eating her out like a savage and she apologizes for squirting on you but your lowkey about it
Excited for this scene! I want to rent half a couch from @XCorvus777 but first he has to make sure my squirting problem wont ruin the floor
There is absolutely no reason to feel squeamish or weird about squirting — whether you do it, you enjoy it, you like when your partner does it, or whatever. Knowing the chemical composition behind this physiological response shouldn’t change whether or not you find it pleasurable.

Squirting is a slang term for female ejaculation. In pornography, it usually features a voluminous, projectile stream from the vagina. Science says it’s largely just urine. So, there’s that.
Female ejaculation has been a topic of formal research since at least the 1970s, but the slang term squirting emerges from the rise of that other great product of the 1970s: the adult film industry.
In the 1980s, an adult film star, Fallon, earned the nickname The Squirt due to her alleged ejaculatory orgasms, though squirting as a pornographic label doesn’t seem to take off until the 2000s online. That coincides, of course, with the rise of internet porn.
As a genre of pornography, squirting videos largely cater to the fetishes of men and show a woman spurting (or squirting , a verb which dates back to the 1400s) a large amount of clear fluid during orgasm. Some performers have come out and said this is usually fake.
Studies on squirting —and yes, sometimes they do use the slang—conclude that women who do experience ejaculation can involuntarily, and very normally, generate a small amount of liquid, usually comprising urine and a bit of glandular fluid.
Outside of pornography, squirting has become a topic in women’s interest publications about the phenomenon and to educate the curious about female ejaculation more generally.
Squirting also comes up in popular music, rapped by the likes of Lil Wayne in his 2013 “Curtains”: “On that Pat-ron, I’m swerving, game tight like virgins / I got a bad bitch, she Persian, call her AK when she’s squirting.”
As noted, squirting is a fairly common tag and topic in pornography, where squirting usually refers to a watery gush of female ejaculation. In the context of regular-people sex, squirting is typically called just female ejaculation , a smaller, thicker concentration of fluid.
