What Is Squirting?

Squirting refers to the expulsion of fluid—sometimes a little, sometimes a lot—during intense sexual stimulation. It usually comes from the urethra, not the vagina. There are two types of fluid release often described:

  • Squirting – a clear, sometimes large gush of fluid (mostly water + trace urea)
  • Female ejaculation – a smaller, milky-white fluid containing PSA (prostate-specific antigen), similar to the male prostate secretion Some women experience one, both, or neither—and all are normal.

What’s Happening in the Body?

  • The G-spot (or G-zone) is stimulated
  • This area is about 1–3 inches inside the front vaginal wall
  • It's near the Skene’s glands (often called the “female prostate”)
  • Skene’s glands fill with fluid
  • When stimulated enough, they can release fluid through the urethra
  • The bladder may contribute
  • Some researchers believe the bladder releases diluted fluid as part of the squirting event, which explains why it often feels like “peeing”—but it isn’t the same (and usually doesn’t smell like urine)
  • Muscular contractions during orgasm or intense arousal push fluid out

Is It Pee? A common question. Studies show:

  • Squirting fluid is primarily water, often with traces of urea and creatinine
  • It’s not the same as urine, though it exits from the urethra
  • Many women describe the feeling as similar to “letting go” of the bladder—but it’s usually clean and odorless So yes, the bladder is involved, but it’s not the same as simply urinating.

How Can Squirting Happen? Not every woman squirts, and not every orgasm includes it. That’s totally normal. Techniques that may help:

  • G-spot stimulation
  • Use fingers or toys to press upward inside the front vaginal wall
  • “Come-hither” motion works well
  • Full bladder (optional)
  • Some women find it’s easier to squirt when the bladder has some fullness
  • Try emptying before and after for comfort
  • Deep arousal + relaxation
  • Breathing, moaning, and pelvic floor release help
  • Being relaxed is key—don’t force it
  • Use consistent pressure + rhythm
  • Often takes 10–20 minutes of G-spot play
  • Partner may need to hold consistent stimulation
  • Orgasm not required
  • Some women squirt without climaxing

What to Keep in Mind

  • Squirting is not the goal of sex—pleasure is
  • Some women never squirt, and that’s perfectly normal
  • You don’t need to feel pressure to “perform” it
  • Waterproof sheets or towels can help keep things stress-free

Clean-Up Tips

  • Place towels or use waterproof bedding
  • Pee after sex to avoid UTIs
  • Rinse gently with warm water—no douching needed
