What Is Squirting?

Let’s talk about squirting, a fascinating and sometimes mysterious aspect of orgasm! Women squirting is featured quite dramatically in porn, and if you are intrigued to know if it happens in real or not, read along. In this blog, we will talk about all the splashy details and answer questions about what squirting is, and when & how it happens. 

What is Squirting?

Jizzing, female ejaculation, or Tsunami of love. No matter what you call it, we are sure that you have some burning questions about squirting. So, let’s start by answering the most pressing one right away: Yes, it’s absolutely real.

Squirting is when a person with vagina releases fluid during sex or arousal. It’s often called female ejaculation. The fluid can come from different parts of the body, and scientists are still figuring out exactly where it comes from. It is believed that this fluid is a mix of secretions from the bladder and glands, primarily the Skene's glands, which are also referred to as female prostate.

Can Everyone Squirt?

Interestingly, it doesn’t happen to everyone with a vagina, and even for those who do squirt, it might not occur every time. Either way, it’s completely normal. Here are a few reasons why it might not occur for some people:

1. Anatomy Differences: Everyone's body is different, and not all women have the same anatomy or gland structures that might contribute to squirting.

2. Sexual Response: Sexual arousal and response can vary greatly from person to person. Factors like stimulation, emotional state, and sexual techniques play a role.

3. Cultural and Psychological Factors: Social expectations, personal comfort levels, and psychological factors can affect whether or not squirting happens.

4. Lack of Stimulation: Some people might not experience squirting because they haven't had the type of stimulation that leads to it. It often requires specific types of stimulation to trigger.

5. Health and Hydration: The fluid expelled can be influenced by hydration levels and overall health, so variations in these factors might affect whether squirting happens.

Overall, it’s a normal variation in sexual experience, and not experiencing it doesn’t mean something is wrong.

Different Names for Squirting

People have given many interesting terms & slang to squirting, such as:

  1. gushing
  2. tsunami of love
  3. jizzing
  4. squirting orgasm

You might hear a squirting orgasm called “female ejaculation,” but that term can be a bit limiting since it doesn’t include non-binary and trans folks who also have vaginas.

Difference Between Female Ejaculation And Squirting

Although used interchangeably, there’s a difference between female ejaculation, even incontinence during sex and squirting. Let’s talk about the real difference between female ejaculation and squirting, what sets them apart because, yes, they’re all different!

Squirting

This is the expulsion of fluid during an orgasm. It is a high-volume event that usually happens from intense stimulation.

Female Ejaculation

This is where things get a bit more interesting; during ejaculation, there is a mix of urine and a special fluid from the Skene's glands, also known as the female prostate. Unlike squirting, the release here is typically smaller and has a milky white appearance, and it doesn’t gush out like a mini-waterfall.

Interestingly, it’s totally possible to experience squirting and female ejaculation simultaneously. So, you might get a mix of that high-volume release and the milky fluid all at once. 😉

Sexual Incontinence

Sexual incontinence refers to the involuntary release of bodily fluids, such as urine or semen, during sexual activity. 

How To Squirt While Solo Play?

Squirting usually happens from G-spot stimulation or a combo of clitoral and G-spot stimulation. It's interesting to know that Skene’s glands, G-spot, and urethral sponge are all in the same area. So, if you stimulate one, you're likely hitting them all. That’s when the magic of squirting happens!

Are you excited to know about how to squirt? If yes, just read along:

  • The more you masturbate, the more you will get to know your body. This will make it easier for you to orgasm.

  • Don’t overthink it. Enjoy the journey and focus on the pleasure. The less you chase it, the more likely you are to experience it! 

Best Sex Positions To Squirt With A Partner 

These are the best sex positions to try for squirting:

Doggy Style

Doggy style is perfect for hitting the G-spot with a penis or dildo. You can get on all fours with your partner positioned on their knees behind you. You can have your partner use shallow strokes to hit the front vaginal wall. Experiment with Leezu’s Pyaari or Natkhat for clit stimulation.

Manual Missionary

Manual stimulation is often more effective for squirting. Have your partner use one or more fingers to penetrate you. He/she can perform oral sex simultaneously for greater stimulation. 

Toy Play

Using a sex toy like Jaadugar, a remote-controlled full-body massager against your front vaginal wall. Simultaneously, have your partner stimulate your clit with their mouth, fingers, or a clitoral vibrator like Pyaari. 

Debunking Some Myths Related With Women Squirting

Is squirt and pee the same? Or is female ejaculation fake? There are a lot of myths going around about squirting. Let's debunk it one by one: 

Myth: Squirting is fake.

Squirting is very real! Studies suggest that anywhere from 10% to 54% of people with vaginas have experienced squirting. However, the intensity varies greatly from person to person. Some people don't have them at all, while others have very small ones. No matter what it is, squirting is very real! 

Myth: Everyone can squirt if they try the same method.

There's no one-size-fits-all method for squirting. Every person's body is unique, and while certain techniques may increase the chances, they won't work for everyone. This is because the presence and size of the Skene's glands vary among individuals.

Myth: Orgasms Through Squirting Are Always High Volume

Squirting isn't always a dramatic event. It can range from a small trickle to a stream of fluid. The large gushes often depicted in porn may be exaggerated or faked for dramatic effect. If you are wondering ‘how much ejaculation’ during squirting is normal, any volume is normal and totally valid.

Myth: Squirting only happens during orgasm.

Squirting can occur before, during, or after an orgasm. Some people might even experience multiple spurts over a few minutes. The pattern of squirting is unique to each person.

Myth: Squirting is pee.

The fluid released during squirting has some similarities to urine, but it's not the same. It contains some urine but also high levels of glucose and prostate-specific antigens (PSAs) from the Skene's glands. Many people who squirt have reported that the fluid doesn't look, smell, or taste like urine.

Bottom Line 

Squirting is one of the most interesting and misunderstood phenomena in the world of orgasms. From the mysterious Skene’s glands to the unique experiences each person has, it’s clear there’s no one approach for all. No matter if you are exploring solo or with a partner, the journey to squirting is all about pleasure, curiosity, and a bit of playful experimentation. So, don’t get bogged down by pressure. Enjoy the ride and embrace the splash!
