Squirting: understanding female ejaculation and the facts behind it

Is squirting a real form of female ejaculation or simply a misunderstood phenomenon? This article separates science from myth by exploring what squirting truly is, its physiological origins, and how it differs from female ejaculation. You'll learn what the latest research says, discover safe ways to explore this experience if you wish, and understand why squirting is not a marker of pleasure for everyone. With clear advice on safety, consent, and hygiene, Climax™ helps you navigate the facts—free from taboo and misinformation.

Squirting: myth or reality?

Sexual health is a topic full of discoveries, and squirting is one of the most debated. But what exactly does it mean, and is it really equivalent to female ejaculation? Let’s take a closer look at this intriguing phenomenon.

What is squirting?

Squirting describes the expulsion of fluid from the urethra in some women during intense sexual stimulation, often around the time of orgasm. This release is usually abrupt, clear, and can be quite abundant, sometimes amounting to several dozen milliliters. Studies indicate that this fluid mainly comes from the bladder and may contain traces of urine, highlighting a clear difference from the lubrication naturally produced by the vagina.

Squirting versus female ejaculation

It's important to distinguish squirt from true female ejaculation. Female ejaculation, as described in medical literature, refers to the release of a small amount of whitish liquid from the Skene's glands—sometimes called the female prostate. The volume is generally much lower than squirting. In many scenarios, a sudden squirting episode can come with a minor female ejaculation, but the two are not the same physiological process.

Exploring safely and respectfully

If you’re curious about squirting, exploration can be rewarding as long as it’s consensual and safe. Here are a few tips:

• Relax and create a comfortable environment.

• Empty your bladder beforehand to reduce discomfort and ensure hygiene.

• Experiment gently, especially with stimulation of the G-spot (located on the front wall of the vagina).

• Don’t focus solely on the result; listen to the body’s signals.

• Respect boundaries at all times—squirting isn’t required for sexual fulfillment.

• Have a towel nearby for comfort and cleanliness.

Science in progress

Squirting experiences vary widely between individuals and are still being explored by science. No two women experience it identically, and it is not a universal indicator of pleasure or orgasm. What matters most is consent, communication, and personal comfort.
