Squirting – almost everyone has heard of it by now. But what exactly is squirting, and what do the clitoris, G-spot, and urethra have to do with it? We'll give you an overview and bring you up to date with the latest scientific findings.

 

What exactly is squirting?

 

The word "squirting," like many other words, comes from English and can be translated as "spraying" or "ejaculating." Squirting itself can occur during orgasm, but also independently. It involves the expulsion of small or large amounts of fluid (0.3–150 ml) from the urethra—so we women can also ejaculate! The fluid that is secreted is produced in the Skene's glands (female prostate), the Bartholin's glands, and the urethra.

Squirting itself occurs through the Stimulation of the G-spot, which is also part of the clitoris . It is located on the anterior vaginal wall, the side facing the mons pubis. The urethra is located directly above the G-spot, which is why many women* report feeling the urge to urinate shortly before squirting (2,3).

 

Basics and frequency of squirting

 

Dr. Sabine zur Nieden published a doctoral thesis on the topic of "Female Ejaculation," shedding light on a subject that was still largely taboo at the time. The thesis offers interesting insights into squirting and clarifies myths and facts.

For her doctoral thesis, 309 women* (according to the study, 42% lesbian and 28% heterosexual women*) were interviewed, of whom approximately one third had already experienced squirting.

According to the doctoral thesis, it is particularly important to emphasize that two things must be fulfilled for squirting to take place:

➤ Stimulation of the G-zone (which also includes the clitoris)

➤ letting go at the right moment

Letting go can be a little difficult, as it can feel like you urgently need to urinate just before squirting. Since many women don't associate urination with eroticism, they tense up and squirting is prevented. Therefore, it is very important to be aware of the urge to urinate and to consciously let go (1).

 

What is squirting fluid?

 

Squirting fluid is not urine, as is often mistakenly assumed. It is primarily produced by the so-called paraurethral glands or Skene's glands, which are located along the female urethra. The fluid is clear to milky and usually has no strong odor.

The chemical composition of squirting fluid is also interesting. It contains components such as creatinine, urea, and uric acid, which are also found in urine, but in smaller quantities. Furthermore, it is rich in prostate-specific antigen (PSA), which is also found in prostatic fluid. It is important to emphasize that squirting fluid does not contain sperm and therefore does not contribute to reproduction.

 

Squirting fluid: A sign of female pleasure

 

Squirting fluid is a natural part of female sexuality and should not be seen as embarrassing or unusual. Every woman is unique and experiences her sexuality in her own way. Whether or not she squirts has no impact on her pleasure or her ability to achieve orgasm.

Squirting - the new must-have of female sexuality?

 

There is a very clear answer to that: In female* sexuality, nothing is a MUST! A healthy and fulfilling sex life is something entirely individual and personal. The desire to squirt shouldn't cause any pressure, and the journey there should be enjoyable. Do you feel like your libido sometimes needs a little boost?

Should you decide to learn how to squirt, the following tips may be of interest to you:

1. Create a cozy atmosphere

Create a relaxed atmosphere and take your time to "practice" squirting. Silence your smartphone, avoid distractions, and work under pressure. Try to calm down and breathe slowly and deeply so your body and pelvic floor muscles can relax. Be mindful and gentle with yourself. It might not work the first time.

2. Preparation for your sexy time

If you don't want to spill the fluid (ejaculate) on your bed, you can place a large towel under your pelvis beforehand. For some, using a lubricant or a pleasant body oil can also be helpful. Ideally, make sure to use a natural lubricant without any harmful or potentially irritating ingredients.

3. Touch yourself

Take your time before you start stimulating the G-spot. For example, massage your vulva, labia, or whatever else you enjoy beforehand. The more time you give yourself, the more likely you are to squirt later.

4. Find your G-spot

Your G-spot is located about 2-3 cm inside your vagina, against the wall of your abdomen. You've found it when you can feel a rough surface with two fingers. Now massage your G-spot and observe how the sensation changes. If the area swells, you're definitely doing it right.

If nothing happens, simply postpone it until later or treat yourself to an orgasm. It's normal that it doesn't always work.

5. Relax and carry on.

If everything feels good, you can continue stimulating your G-spot until you feel the urge to urinate. It's important not to tense up, but to relax further. This won't be easy, especially at this point, but it's worth it. You're about to squirt! It's best to take a deep breath and try to tighten your pelvic floor muscles slightly.

6. Persevere

Your first attempt most likely won't be the most unforgettable squirting experience. It's important to get to know and explore your body, your vagina, your G-spot, and your reactions. The most important thing is that it feels good and that you have fun.

Of course, squirting is not just for you It's possible to do it alone. Once you're more comfortable with squirting, you can also do it with your partner. Involve your partner . Show them what feels good to you and expanded together your sexual horizon .
