How to Squirt

Female ejaculation, also known as squirting, is something we’ve all heard of but is an area still surrounded by mystique. Is it a genuine way that our bodies react to pleasure or is it a myth invented by porn to provide a ‘Hollywood’ ending? Either way, squirting is something that many of us have a lot of questions about. It can leave us feeling pressure to perform, wanting to please our partner and meet unrealistic or even non-existent expectations. Alternatively, it might surprise you with a new and unexpected bodily function.

We feel it’s important to break down some of the myths around female ejaculation and help set the record straight. To help you out with some of these questions, here’s everything you need to know about female ejaculation or ‘squirting’.

What is squirting?

“Squirting” is the release of fluid from the vulva near the point of orgasm. But if you look around and you’ll find many different views on what female ejaculation really is. Some say that the fluid comes from the Skene glands, which are located on the upper wall of the vagina. It’s possible that not all women have Skene glands, meaning only a certain few would be able to squirt. There’s also research to suggest that squirting could be an involuntary release of the bladder caused by orgasm. To sum it up, there isn’t a definitive scientific answer to what makes squirting happen!

Squirting is often seen as the epitome of the female orgasm. Most people think it only happens when you reach mind-blowing orgasmic heights, and it means that either you or your partner have done an incredible job in bed. But this isn’t entirely true. Porn has built this myth and it’s made squirting seem pretty unattainable, but here’s the shocker – porn isn’t telling you the whole truth!

Can all women squirt?

No, not all women can squirt and it’s important to remember that fact! You should never feel bad or inferior for not ejaculating during intercourse, whether your partner sees it as a badge of honour or not.

In truth, it’s fairly common for the average woman to produce some form of ejaculate during intercourse. This comes in the form of a small amount of milky fluid that comes before or during climax, however, it’s unlikely that this will ‘squirt’ out at any speed. In short, if you’re not squirting large amounts of fluid, there’s absolutely nothing to worry about!

Every woman’s body is different, so where some of us may find we secrete quite a lot of ejaculate during sex, others may produce nothing. There’s no right or wrong, good or bad.

How to squirt

Focusing on squirting as the main goal during sex should be avoided. There’s no science around how to squirt and focusing too intently on making it happen could lead to you losing complete focus on what you’re actually doing and ultimately making sex less enjoyable – nobody wants that!

Just try to relax and enjoy yourself. This will make a big difference when it comes to experiencing maximum pleasure in the bedroom. There are some things you can do to help and, who knows, it might even result in you squirting!
