G Spot: What It Is, How to Find It, Sex Positions to Try

Taking your time to explore and creating a relaxed, comfortable environment can enhance the overall experience for both partners. Female ejaculation, on the other hand, is the release of a clear, odorless fluid from the female prostate gland. Both squirting and female ejaculation can occur during sexual arousal and orgasm. Squirting, also known as female ejaculation, is a highly debated topic in the world of sexual health.

The truth of it is, this doesn’t happen during a typical, run-of-the-mill orgasm and for those who do experience “squirting,” it isn’t usually this insane explosion of volcanic proportions. It might be this way for some people, but definitely not for all. It feels like, on every shitty porn site, you’ll see the words “squirting” or “golden showers” popping up. Now, if you venture to actually click on one of these links, you’ll find a camera full of hairless vulvas with copious amounts of liquid shooting from vaginas right and left. Sometimes, applying slight pressure to their lower belly with one hand during penetration can encourage squirting.

Sperm, as you will know, is milky and white and produced in teaspoon-sized amounts. By contrast, the fluid produced from squirting tends to be watery in consistency and is likely to soak your sheets. And most women can’t (or choose not to) squirt, so don’t be dismayed if you don’t get to experience it, as squirters are in the minority. It can make it easier to relax and enjoy the experience, which can help in achieving squirting, orgasms, or just connecting deeply and being present with each other. If there’s physical discomfort during sex, first make sure there is enough lubrication to reduce friction. While oral sex alone might not make her squirt, combining it with finger stimulation of her G-spot often works well.

You may want your partner to squirt, but that doesn’t mean they can. Between one-tenth and one-half of vulva-owners have reported squirting, according to the International Society for Sexual Medicine. Squirting is a mysterious event that all men are curious about, yet few have experienced in real life.

Researchers confirmed that the participants’ bladders were empty before stimulation. The ultrasounds showed noticeable bladder filling during sexual stimulation just before squirting. That suggests an overlap between squirting and ejaculating, as female ejaculation is believed to come from Skene’s gland and has much in common with male seminal fluid. In female ejaculation, all of the milky fluid comes from the Skene’s gland.

According to the (admittedly few) research studies on the topic, squirting is possible for anywhere from 10% to 54% of women. The ultrasounds confirm that the bladder is emptied upon voluntary urination. Then, right before squirting occurs, the bladder suddenly fills with a fluid which is then forcefully expelled from the bladder. Ultrasounds of the bladder were taken from women post voluntary urination woman squirt, then right before squirting, and finally immediately following squirting.

Research indicates they produce distinct fluids from different organs (female ejaculation from the female prostate, squirting from the bladder). In a study involving women who can squirt, researchers emptied the participants’ bladders with a catheter and then injected a blue dye into the bladders. They then induced squirting with sexual stimulation and collected the fluid.
