Research points to "female ejaculation" (we honor all vulva-havers, regardless of gender identity) and squirting being two distinct experiences, with some women experiencing both. Although porn may attribute squirting and ejaculation to sexual prowess, only a limited number of those with vaginas have ever experienced either. Here we discuss what is understood, supply some advice for those who wish to try, and remind all that one type of orgasm does not surpass the rest.
What Does Squirting Orgasm Mean in Sex?
Vaginal squirting is the release of fluid from the vagina during climax, which does not occur for everyone with a vagina. Although often accompanied by an expulsion of urine from the bladder, the occurrence of squirting is not a consistent event.
Squirting may also involve discharge from the skene's gland, sometimes referred to as the female prostate because of its similarity to the male version.
People with vulvas and vaginas can sometimes experience a clear, watery fluid release from the urethra during or right before orgasm, which is referred to as squirting. The amount of fluid released varies, with some individuals reporting a substantial amount, while for others it may only occur every so often. The distinction between squirting and regular orgasm is based more on the type of fluid released, rather than the amount.
What are the Distinctions Between Squirting Orgasm, Female Ejaculation, and Sexual Incontinence?
Urine release during orgasm is referred to as squirting, while female ejaculation is a combination of urine and a secretion from the skene's glands. Sexual incontinence, or coital incontinence, is a lack of bladder control occurring during intercourse.
Ejaculation among people with vaginas may manifest as a small extrusion of milky white fluid that does not spurt out. In comparison, squirting usually features an increased volume. Simultaneous squirting and ejaculation is a possibility.
Do all females Squirting Orgasm?
Research on the topic of female ejaculation is sparse, and often conflates the two phenomena of squirting and ejaculation. One study found that nearly 70% of women have manifested an ejaculation at least once in their lifetime. However, the International Society for Sexual Medicine suggests the percentage of women who squirt falls somewhere between 10% and 50%. To this date, the question of whether every woman with a vagina could squirt remains unanswered.
Here are some tips to help with squirting:
Most orgasms are pleasurable regardless of whether they involve squirting or not, so no need to become stressed if never experienced those sensations before. Nevertheless, like anything else in sexual activity, exploring and experimenting can be enjoyable. If you are intrigued by squirting, these tips might prove useful:
Prepare for success: Eliminating worries about urinary incontinence during sex is an important step in allowing yourself to experience the pleasurable sensation of squirting. Empty your bladder before sex and consider laying a towel on the bed to protect it, so that you can relax without fear.
Though it's not fully understood how it works, many believe that orgasms that involve the g-spot are the most likely to result in female ejaculation or squirting. The g-spot is a spongy area located on the front internal wall of the vagina, which can be accessed by a curved finger or a sex toy.
Identify The Right Toy: Numerous sex toys, featuring a curved form factor, exist on the market with the intention of stimulating the g-spot. Ensure that the curved portion is facing upwards upon insertion for optimum effectiveness.
Opt for a Position: If engaging in penis-in-vagina intercourse, positions featuring strong potential to stimulate the g-spot, such as reverse cowgirl (woman atop partner facing away), and doggy style, tend to favor ejaculation.
Do Not Neglect the Clitoris: For the majority of individuals with vulvas, the clitoris -housing an abundance of nerve endings- is pivotal for successful orgasms. Ensure it is given ample appreciation when attaining female ejaculation.
Let Loosen: Many who have ejaculated or expelled fluid suggest a key to success is to relax the pelvic muscles. Although it may feel like one is about to urinate, resist this impulse and let go your muscles.
