Unraveling the Mystery of Squirting: A Guide to Understanding and Achieving This Sexual Phenomenon

What is Squirting, Anyway?

Squirting, a topic shrouded in mystery, is a release of liquid from the urethra that occurs when a person with a vagina is sexually aroused. It’s not the same as an orgasm or female ejaculation, and can happen independently of either. Despite its portrayal in porn, squirting is a real phenomenon that some people find incredibly pleasurable.

The Science Behind Squirting

Gynecologist Nicole E. Williams, MD, FACOG, FACS, explains that the erectile tissue surrounding the female urethra contracts to release the fluid, which can appear as a dribble, spurt, or gush. Clinical sexologist Caitlin V. notes that squirting varies greatly from person to person and can occur at different times, including before, during, or after orgasm.

Is Squirting Pee?

One study referred to the fluid as “a form of urine,” containing urea, creatine, and uric acid, as well as fluid from the Skene’s gland and vaginal lubricant. While it may share some similarities with urine, it’s essential to remember that sex involves various fluids, and squirting is just one aspect of it.

Female Ejaculation vs. Squirting

Female ejaculation refers to the expulsion of a small amount of thick, milky fluid from the Skene’s gland, usually during orgasm. While both can occur simultaneously, they are distinct phenomena.

Achieving Squirting

The most commonly reported way to squirt is through G-spot stimulation, especially when combined with clitoral touching. Here are some tips to help you achieve squirting:

• DIY: Invest in a pleasure toy, such as the OhMyG or nJoy Wand, to help stimulate your G-spot. Remember to relax and not put too much pressure on it.
• With a Partner: Have your partner finger you, using the “come hither” motion to stimulate your G-spot. Try rubbing your clit while being fingered for added pleasure.
• Sex Positions: Try positions that allow for shallow penetration, such as missionary or straight as a board, to target the upper part of the vagina.

What Does Squirting Feel Like?

Squirting can feel incredibly pleasurable, with many people describing it as a warm eruption or intense release. According to a 2013 study, the majority of respondents said squirting enriched their sex lives and those of their partners.

Why Can’t I Squirt?

Don’t worry if you can’t squirt – it’s not a necessary aspect of sexual pleasure. Some people may need time to develop the ability, while others may not be able to squirt at all. Remember, sex is about feeling good, not achieving a specific goal.

Embracing Sexual Pleasure

In conclusion, squirting is a real phenomenon that can add variety and excitement to one’s sexual experiences. By understanding the science behind it and embracing the complexity of human sexuality, we can work towards a more open and accepting attitude towards sexual pleasure.
