What is Squirting Orgasm: Everything You Need To Know

Squirting refers to the release of clean, watery fluid from the urethra during or right before intense sexual or G-spot stimulation, arousal, or orgasm. While some women experience this every time they orgasm, for others, it may only happen once in a while. 

Unlike female ejaculation, which originates from the Skene’s glands and is a small, milky-white discharge, squirting involves a large volume of fluid that is a mix of prostate-like secretions and diluted urine, but it is chemically distinct from regular urine.

Like any other aspect of sex, no two people will be able to experience squirting in the same way. There is no right or wrong way to feel about it! 

While for some people, it may feel either similar to or more intense than a deep sexual release or clitoral orgasm, for others, it may feel nothing alike or even less intense than an orgasm. 

However, many describe it as a mix of intense pleasure, release, and pressure relief, as well as the rapid ejection of fluids similar to urine from the bladder.

Many people use the phrases “squirting” and “female ejaculation” interchangeably, but the mechanism underlying SQ and FE is vastly different.  

Squirting is a massive transurethral orgasmic expulsion from the urinary bladder. It involves the discharge of a large amount of clear and watery liquid that may seem similar to urine, but it is chemically distinctive to it.  

At the same time, female ejaculation applies to the process of the secretion of a very small amount of thick, white, and often described as milky fluid from the paraurethral glands.

Some women can experience both squirting and female ejaculation at the same time, while some will experience one but not the other. 

1. Squirting is just pee

Many people mistakenly believe that squirting is nothing more than urine, but research proves otherwise. While the squirting fluid originates from the bladder and shares some components with urine, studies confirm that it is chemically distinct. 

2. All women can squirt 

Contrary to popular belief, not all women experience squirting. Everybody is different, as are our sexual desires and preferences. Although squirting is a natural response, some women experience it, while others might not produce enough fluid. 

3. Squirting produces a lot of liquid

While squirting may produce more fluid than female ejaculation, it doesn’t necessarily mean a high-volume gush of liquid. Like other sex aspects, its intensity varies for each individual. 

Want to learn more about squirting while having sex or penetration and maybe try it out for yourself? But just like all things related to sex, experimentation can open the doors to a learning journey! Here are a few tips that might help: 

1. Masturbate 

Self-pleasure is one of the best ways to explore what makes you feel good and gives you time to focus on your own experience. Research suggests that people may find it easier to squirt from masturbation, especially the one involving G-spot stimulation, than from sexual intercourse. 

2. Sex toy 

Sex toys, especially vibrators and multifunction vibrators, provide targeted stimulation to the G-Spot, increasing the chances of squirting. Their pressure, motion, and vibration intensify arousal, making it easier to squirt easily, comfortably, and effectively. 

Similarly, lubricants, pleasure lubes, or gels provide smooth glide movement, reducing friction, increasing responsiveness, and allowing for easier release.

3. Sex position 

Switching sex positions with your partner and trying positions that are best known for performance and offer deep vaginal penetration, such as cowgirl, increases the likelihood of squirting orgasm.
