What is Squirting? by Pixie Pele (also take a read of part 1, part 2, and part 4)
So. Science has failed us. There are no definite answers to the burning questions we all have about squirting. So we are forced to resort to a more sociological approach – summarizing personal stories from as many people as possible. This is where my personal experience will come in handy to you, reader. Not only do I have years of squirting under my belt, I’ve actively sought out information from other people on their experiences as well. Obviously, your mileage will vary. But hopefully you’ll find something here that points you in the right direction.
FAQ 1: Is it pee?
Answer: See Part 2.
FAQ 2: OK, if it isn’t pee, what is it?
Answer: No one knows. Some studies say it’s about 2% urine, which makes sense, since it’s coming out the urethra. But other than that, science fails. We’ve been over this. No more science questions.
FAQ 3: Squirting? Gushing? What’s the difference?
Answer: Basically, sometimes it’s a trickle, sometimes it’s a flood. And sometimes it’s a projectile explosion that launches across the bed. I’ve been using the terms interchangeably to refer to the production of clear liquid from the urethra during stimulation. I’m using the colloquial terms to be more specific than “female ejaculation,” which also includes the production of a white liquid that is similar to semen in consistency. That’s another post for another day.
FAQ 4: So what makes it happen?
Answer: Now we get to the good stuff. There’s a lot of variety here. You know how different clitorises like to be touched differently? Same principle here. Squirting is usually related to G-spot stimulation, and different G-spots like to be stimulated differently. (Considering recent research thinks the G-spot is actually part of a larger organ that also includes the clit, this shouldn’t be surprising.)
FAQ 5: Can you control it?
Answer: No. Some ladies I’ve talked to don’t even realize when it’s going to happen, let alone be able to stop or go on command. Personally, I can tell that it’s coming, but I usually just think it’s an orgasm on the way. Muscles tighten, the tissues get puffed up. The only way I’ve found to stop it is to completely halt sexy times. And who wants that?
FAQ 6: Is it the same as an orgasm?
Answer: No, though it might happen at the same time. Or not. Again, the timing of the squirt/gush in relation to the orgasm depends on the person, but here are some of the ones I’ve heard.
- Before: Some squirters gush as their arousal rises to orgasm or just before orgasm. Like an announcer introducing the star of the show.
- During: Some squirters gush during their orgasms. This makes for really dramatic orgasms that are kind of fun to watch and euphoric to experience.
- After/independent: Some squirters report cumming a time or two and then squirting like it’s its own thing. Like an alternative type of orgasm. This is how most of mine are. Once upon a time, there would be the occasional sexy session where I squirt without orgasming at all, but those seemed to be tied to nerves; I couldn’t relax enough to actually cum, so my body just squirted instead.
FAQ 7: Can any female-bodied person do it? How do I make myself/my girlfriend do it?
Answer: Ohhhh, that’s another can of worms.
Stay tuned!
