Squirting orgasms: what comes out?

Squirting and female ejaculation are two different things. It’s a controversial topic. Does female ejaculation really exist? And what comes out?

And where does it come from – the vagina? Or is it simply pee? Finally, all is revealed. Scientists have biochemically analysed the fluid from a squirting orgasm.

A milky spurt, a watery gush – there were puzzling differences in the descriptions of ‘female ejaculation’, say Mexican biologist Alberto Rubio-Casillas and Italian sexology professor Emmanuele Jannini. So they set out to lay the controversy to rest.

They tracked down a 43-year-old volunteer who could produce both types of fluid when she climaxed. She agreed to provide some very intimate samples in the lab. And the analysis showed the two fluids were indeed entirely different.

Semen

In what the authors call ‘real female ejaculation’, a milky fluid is produced from the female prostate, also known as Skene’s gland. This is a spot inside the fold of the labia, at the front of the vagina, near the urethral opening.

Biochemically this fluid can be compared to male semen, say the researchers. And a similar amount comes out – up to a teaspoon. By checking it for vaginal bacteria, they proved it doesn’t come from the vagina.

Pee

Then there’s the clear liquid produced in what can be spectacular squirting or gushing. It isn’t yellow and it doesn’t smell like pee.

Yet the fluid comes out both through and around the urethra. And tests revealed it did contain uric acid and other chemicals found in urine. Which means that although some may hotly deny it, the squirting fluid must come from the bladder, the scientists say, and it’s actually very dilute pee.

Gushing

Squirting is usually linked to stimulating the G-spot, a spongy area about five centimetres inside the vagina on the front wall. But it can also happen through tapping or slapping the vulva, as in the central African lovemaking technique kunyaza.

At orgasm, more than half a litre of fluid can come gushing out, according to Rwandan kunyaza specialist Nsekuye Bizimana – though Rubio-Casillas and Jannini stick to a more modest maximum of 125 millilitres.

Ultrasound

The findings of the biochemical analysis of this fluid don’t necessarily mean that women who squirt simply can’t hold in their pee at the crucial moment, the researchers say. So how and why exactly does it happen?

Unfortunately, Rubio-Cassillas and Jannini still aren’t providing any answers. They’re now doing more research using video urodynamic testing – x-rays and ultrasound scans – to zoom in on the squirting climax.

    1. Hi kevin,

      Hi kevin,
      This is completely normal for men to have what is called a refractory period, where it cannot get hard after ejaculation. Honestly, your body is just telling you that it needs some time. There is no real way to change it or make it happen less, so just try to work with your body. If you are really hoping to have more sex, then take the time to recharge and focus on your partner. This is a good time to focus on them and give them pleasure. You will become hard again in no time and continue.
      Hope this helps, let us know if any more questions arise.

  26. wht is the gud tyming for a
    wht is the gud tyming for a lady nt to get pregnant? which a the safe days?

    1. Hi there,

      Hi there,
      safe days are one of the most unreliable ways to prevent pregnancy, and we really don’t recommend it at all.
      When your safe days are really depends on the length of your cycle. Technically speaking, the first seven days before and after your period, as well as the time of your period, are relatively safe. But, if you have a shorter cycle (shorter than 28 days), or an irregular one, this will vary. Also keep in mind that sperm can survive for up to five days and longer inside the body- so even if you have sex on a ‘safe’ day, you can still get pregnant, because the sperm survived until your ovulation date. So you see, it’s a very inaccurate. And lastly, of course this won’t protect you from STDs. Only condoms will. So we really recommend a more reliable method.

    1. My dear,

      My dear,
      there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Most women have trouble having an orgasm without the clitoris being stimulated- and most men don’t know this. This has nothing to do with size, as the in-and out movement of sex alone won’t get you enough clitoral stimulation. Check out this section to learn more about the clitoris, and have your man stimulate it during foreplay and intercourse: http://lovematters.co.ke/resource/vulva

    I can’t go for round two after ejaculating,what can I do coz I leave my partner unsatisfied

    1. Hi Jeff,

      Hi Jeff,
      let me answer this in two sections. Firstly, it is completely normal for men to have what is called a refractory period, where it cannot get hard after ejaculation. Honestly, your body is just telling you that it needs some time. There is no real way to change it or make it happen less, so just try to work with your body. If you are really hoping to have more sex, then take the time to recharge and focus on your partner. This is a good time to focus on them and give them pleasure. You will become hard again in no time and continue
      Secondly, leaving your partner satisfied has more to do with the clitoris than with intercourse. Most women need to have their clitoris stimulated to have an orgasm. And if that doesn’t happen, you can go ten rounds and she will still not be satisfied. Check out more info on the clitoris here: http://lovematters.co.ke/resource/vulva

    i need your help, what could be the cause of vaginal pain after sex especially if the sex was live without protection?

    1. Hey Ella, pain can be caused…

      Hey Ella, pain can be caused by a number of reasons including having dry sex where penetration happens before the vagina is well lubricated, the position during sex, the size of the penis or the presence of an infection in the vagina. In other cases when one is not relaxed during penetration so that penetration is painful or uncomfortable. This maybe as a result of a past painful experience. Remember, pain maybe during or after sex.  It is important to get to know what could be causing the pain in your case to find the right solution.

    Thanks

    1. Hi Beat, 

      The trick is to…

      Hi Beat, 

      The trick is to really gently and slowly stimulate the G-spot. As your G-spot gets stimulated and arousal increases, the erectile tissue will fill with blood. The G-spot and the labia will become larger. Stimulate gently.

      Unfortunately, not all women can squirt. It has been found that some women can squirt (high volume ejaculation) as they have well a well-developed Skene gland (like the prostate gland in men) that allows for squirting. Not all women have a well-developed Skene gland. This does not mean that they cannot achieve orgasms and enjoy sex. Women’s bodies vary in many ways. High and low volume female ejaculation varies from person to person; body to body; experience to experience. This is an important consideration to take. Don’t compare yourself to another person who can squirt, because you may start to believe that you are missing out. The truth is, you really are not. 

      The answer to this is also no. Not being able to squirt does not mean you cannot enjoy sex; in fact, you can have amazing sex and orgasms without squirting or ejaculating, so please do not put additional pressure on yourself.

      Remember: you can still enjoy a fulfilling sexual experience without ejaculating; so be safe and enjoy!
