Squirting is a fascinating yet often misunderstood topic in the world of sexuality. Many have heard of it, but few know exactly what it is, how it happens, and what's going on in the body during it. In this article, we want to shed some light on the subject and help you approach it – with education, tips, and an open, respectful attitude.
What is squirting?
Squirting, also known as female ejaculation , refers to the release of fluid from the urethra during sexual arousal or orgasm. Contrary to what the term "ejaculation" suggests, the fluid is not urine, but rather a secretion produced by the Skene's glands. These glands are located around the urethra and are comparable to the male prostate glands.
It's important to emphasize that not all women squirt, and this is completely normal. Likewise, there is no "right" or "wrong" way to experience sexuality—squirting can be an intense experience, but it doesn't have to be a part of every woman's sexual experience.
The anatomy behind squirting
To better understand squirting, it's helpful to take a closer look at the female anatomy. The Skene's glands, mentioned above, play a key role in squirting. These glands are stimulated when the G-zone area (often called the G-spot) is aroused.
The G-spot is located on the front wall of the vagina, about 3 to 5 cm from the vaginal opening, and is often very sensitive when stimulated. Intense rubbing or pressure on this area can lead to intense arousal—and in some cases, even ejaculation.
Women and sexuality: How to express your desires openly
What does squirting feel like?
The sensation of squirting varies greatly from woman to woman and can vary greatly in intensity and perception. Many women describe the sensation immediately before squirting as an intense feeling of pressure, often confused with a strong urge to urinate. This feeling can seem unsettling at first, especially if you're new to it, but it's a natural part of the process. While some women feel self-conscious about it, others find this pressure pleasant and a precursor to an intense experience.
As the pressure releases and the fluid escapes, squirting is often experienced as extremely liberating and arousing. Some women report experiencing a feeling of deep relaxation or intense release in this moment, almost as if an inner tension were suddenly released. This sensation can lead to a feeling of complete satisfaction, whether or not an orgasm occurs simultaneously.
Squirting can be accompanied by an orgasm, but it doesn't necessarily have to be. Some women experience squirting as a distinct physical reaction that occurs independently of a traditional orgasm . In such cases, the release of the fluid is perceived as a kind of "second climax" that further enriches the sexual experience.
It's also interesting to note that some women report that squirting itself increases their desire and makes them feel particularly aroused or even energized afterward. Others experience squirting more as a moment of deep relaxation, almost like an emotional or physical release. It's important to emphasize that there is no "right" way to experience squirting. Every body reacts differently.
How can squirting be stimulated?
There's no one-size-fits-all formula for inducing squirting. The key often lies in a combination of arousal, trust, relaxation, and the right stimulation. Here are a few tips that can help you or your partner:
-
Preparation and relaxation
In most cases, squirting requires complete relaxation. It can help to take your time, explore your body, and get into the right mood. Slow foreplay is especially important here to release the pressure and let go.
-
Stimulation of the G-spot
Most women who squirt report that it happens through targeted stimulation of the G-spot. This can be done with fingers, certain sex toys, or during intercourse. It's important to find the right pressure and rhythm. Many women find a "come-hither" motion (as if beckoning someone over) particularly effective.
Fluid intake
Adequate hydration plays a role, as the body secretes fluids during squirting. Drinking plenty of water can be helpful, although it's not essential.The right time
Every body is different and reacts differently. Experiment with the intensity of stimulation until you find what works best for you. It's important not to force the moment—squirting will come when your body is ready.
This bacterial infection can also be transmitted through oral sex, especially if there is contact with infected mucous membranes or bodily fluids. Chlamydia is often asymptomatic, which increases the risk of further spread.Openness and trust
Especially if you want to experience squirting together with your partner, communication is key. Create an atmosphere in which you are both relaxed and talk openly about your needs and preferences.
Squirting – A myth or reality?
Squirting is often surrounded by myths. Some believe it's the "holy grail" of female orgasm, while others dismiss it as a movie trick. The fact is: every woman is unique. There's no obligation to experience squirting or to set it as a goal. Many women enjoy their sexuality completely independently, and that's just as wonderful.
It's important to emphasize that squirting isn't a measure of good sex. Rather, it's about getting to know yourself and your body better, having fun, and doing what feels right.
