The answer is yes, but it's not quite like what the internet or porn movies might lead you to believe.
"Female ejaculation" or "squirting," as it's shown in porn or talked about in a lot of other places, can make it seem like there’s some kind of magical gland or hidden water faucet inside the vagina that's capable of splashing out a substantial amount of fluid with just the right touch.
I’m sorry to disappoint, but that’s just not true.
This mysterious fluid doesn’t come from some magical spot in the vagina. For a woman to ejaculate, the fluid must come from either the urethra, the vagina, or a specialized gland known as Skene’s glands, often referred to as the female prostate.
There are two types of female ejaculate, and the body can produce either or both in response to similar levels of arousal or sexual stimulation.
Ejaculate fluid,
Refer to the milky fluid that comes from the skin’s glands.
These glands are located near the urethra and can produce a small amount of fluid, perhaps 1-2 ml at most, during sexual activity. Medically speaking, this could be called ejaculate, but it won't shoot any distance or have a large volume.
Squirting fluid
Refer to the clear fluid that comes from the bladder.
In a study with women who experience squirting, their bladders were emptied and ultrasound measurements were taken during sexual stimulation. The results showed that their empty bladders filled quickly during stimulation and were empty after squirting. Lab analysis confirmed that the fluid was urine.
I've come across a variety of studies examining what this fluid actually is, and the truth is, opinions vary widely.
So instead of getting lost in the research, let me share what I’ve learned from my own experiences.
In our Yoni massage sessions, I've witnessed hundreds of women squirt. Sometimes there’s a bit of a smell, but mostly, the scent or taste of urine is barely noticeable—if at all. Honestly, a man's semen often has a much stronger taste and scent:)
For many women who feel the urge to pee during sex or experience discomfort during penetration, squirting often brings an incredible sense of relief and release. It's like all that tension just washes away, and they can finally enjoy the moment fully.
So if you feel any pressure down there during stimulation or penetration don't hold back. Just go with the flow...and let it go.
How and why does this whole squirting thing happen?
Female ejaculation is totally normal, and research suggests it might be more common than we realize—it's just that most people don’t really talk about it.
There are a few possible explanations for this phenomenon, but the truth is that scientists still don’t fully understand female ejaculation.
There's not a lot of research on how it works or what it's for, which really shows that we've got so much more to discover about our bodies!
One possibility is that when women report squirting, they could be experiencing such intense orgasms that it triggers their pelvic floor muscles to empty the bladder. This link to heightened pleasure might explain why squirting is often seen as this amazing experience. But from what I've seen in my sessions, for most of the women who squirt, it’s not really tied to orgasm or more pleasure.
Another possibility is that a more intense sexual response could lead to a faster filling of the bladder.
The experience of female ejaculation is highly individualized. Some women may never encounter it, while others might experience it occasionally or regularly. The quantity and appearance of the fluid can also vary, ranging from a few drops to a more substantial amount.
It's really important to understand that Squirting itself is not a way to measure sexual pleasure or satisfaction and it’s not necessarily linked to experiencing an orgasm.
Actually, For some women, it's not even a pleasurable experience, it's more like a barrier to enjoyment. They might feel a bit shy or uncomfortable about letting the fluid out, which can lead to uncomfortable feeling, stress and sometimes pain during penetration.
Each woman’s sexual pleasure and responses are unique, and there's no singular "normal" or "correct" way to measure it. We need to understand all these squirting things because it makes many women today feel like they're inadequate if they can't have it. Sometimes I feeI many women want to squirt just to fulfill their partner fantasy and make him feel good with himself like he achieved something or did a “good job”.
A good sexual experience isn't about doing a good job or achieving anything. And if you're having a couple of good orgasms, or just feel good with yourself, then who cares about anything else?
