For some, squirting is a totally normal part of sex. For others, it’s a little messy and embarrassing! Either way it’s rarely like a porno, where a huge jet of liquid gushes out in a wild, orgasmic climax. Sorry folks!
That said, learning how to squirt can be euphoric, surprising, sensual, and even silly. It’ll take a little patience and research, but you’ll definitely have fun trying. So, whether you’re trying to squirt for the first time or want to try squirting during sex instead of just solo play, we’ve got an ocean of squirting info for you to soak up.
Only got time for a quickie?
Squirting contains multitudes, so it’s ok if you don’t want to dive in all at once. In the meantime, here are some quick n’ wet facts about this unique sexual response:
- Squirting is completely normal, even if it takes you by surprise! It’s also completely normal if you’re not able to squirt or can only squirt once in a while or when you really put your mind to it.
- Squirt comes from the bladder and is released by the urethra, which is why it’s often confused for pee. But the fluid looks (and smells and tastes) very different to urine and is produced by glands that assist with sexual arousal.
- If you’ve never squirted before, the process of learning may take time, especially if you’re not as experienced with G-spot stimulation. Starting with solo play may be easier, because once you know how to make yourself squirt, you can help your partner master it too.
- Orgasming and squirting are not the same thing, but they can happen at the same time. Squirting feels unique and can be intense and pleasurable, but don’t expect it to mirror your experience of orgasm.
Squirting is a sexual response that some people with vulvas experience. Basically, it’s when a noticeable amount of clear liquid is expelled from the urethra during sex. It’s often conflated with female ejaculation, which is similar but not the same, though you can experience both simultaneously. It’s also not urine, though it does originate in the same place.
Squirting is undoubtedly real, but it can look and feel very different for everyone. Yep, you can squirt and come, you can come without squirting, and you can squirt without coming. Similarly, squirt can come out in a trickle or a gush. That may sound like a lot to process, but all this variety is what makes squirting such a unique, surprising, overwhelming, and wonderful part of your sex life.
