In case you didn’t know, the vagina is an impressive part of the human body. It’s self-cleaning, it menstruates, it can even give birth to another human being. But there’s another function that not a lot of people talk about, but you’ve most likely heard of, and that’s squirting. If you’re a frequent visitor of the age-restricted adult video hub, or been on the weird (and horny) side of Twitter, you’ve probably come across some videos of women having mind-blowing, earth-shattering orgasms that have made them overflow with pleasure, figuratively and literally. But what is it, really? Is it pee? And how the hell do they do it? Here’s all you need to know about squirting!
What is Squirting?
Squirting, a.k.a female ejaculation is when females experience the involuntary emission of urine, or rather, an element of urine, during an orgasm. Yes, it’s pee, but not entirely. It’s a combination of urea, uric acid (components of urine), creatinine, fluid from the Skene’s gland with some vaginal lubricant mixed in. You can get it from G-spot stimulation, clitoral stimulation, or both! Though it seems like a common phenomenon in the porn industry, this is not necessarily the case in real life. Not everyone with a vulva can squirt, in fact, only 10 to 50 percent of people could. However, having the ability to squirt isn’t better than not having the ability, so you shouldn’t feel pressured to do so!
Squirting is a relatively understudied subject, and there’s a lot of misconceptions surrounding the phenomenon. So, to make things easier for you, here are some common squirting myths that you should know about:
- Squirting is the same as an orgasm – Though squirting usually occurs during orgasm, they aren’t the same thing, so females might squirt without having an orgasm.
- It looks like it does in porn – If you’re expecting to see yourself or your partner gushing fluid out like a faucet as soon as you insert your fingers in her, don’t. For a lot of porn stars, they usually douche prior to shooting a scene to get that water spouting money shot!
- Squirting is fake – Since a lot of people have not experienced squirting in real life, it has become a sort of myth. News flash: Squirting is real.
How to squirt
Now that you know that technically anyone with a vulva can squirt, you might be curious about how people do it, or even feel the urge to experience one yourself. No worries, because we’re gonna spill ALL the pee tea how to squirt! Here are some tips:
#1 Make sure you’re well hydrated
Though it’s not scientifically proven that water improves the likelihood of squirting, experts say it could help in theory, stating that hydration facilitates sexual response including orgasm and squirting.
#2 Relax
Like having an orgasm, you need to be relaxed, so you’re not holding yourself back. You want to give yourself all the feels.
#3 Locate your G-spot
When you’re masturbating, insert 2 fingers a couple inches inside the vagina and rub a small ridged area that’s along the front of your vagina wall. Yeah, that’s your G-spot. Make sure to relax your pelvic floor muscles as you stimulate your G-spot.
# 4 Don’t stress about peeing
Many females will feel the need to pee before they squirt, but that feeling is usually triggered by the fluid coming from the Skene’s glands behind the G-spot, which basically means squirting. So keep going!
