Female Ejaculation: Everything You Need to Know
Yes, female ejaculation is real, and it does somewhat resemble male ejaculation. Fascinating, right? It’s so fascinating, in fact, that you should have a towel ready or be prepared to change the sheets.
WHAT IS SQUIRTING (FEMALE EJACULATION )?
Good question! Why does the female body do this? Is the fluid that is released the same as urine? And does it come out of the same hole? Let's find out!
When we talk about female ejaculation, we are talking about the fluid that comes out of a woman’s urethra. The urethra is the canal in a woman’s body that carries urine from the bladder to the outside. Thanks, female bladder!
Female ejaculation doesn't always have to involve a vaginal or clitoral orgasm, but it can certainly happen. Women who have ejaculated often say it's a fantastic feeling.
There are actually two different types of female ejaculatory fluid: squirting fluid and ejaculatory fluid. Squirting fluid is an odorless, colorless fluid that is released in large quantities (hence the use of the word "squirt"). It consists of uric acid, urea, and creatinine.
Ejaculatory fluid, on the other hand, is more like male ejaculation fluid, and is usually milky in color and viscous. It’s also important to note that this whole squirting thing is not the same as coital incontinence (aka urine leakage) that can occur during sex. If you’re having trouble with coital incontinence, it’s a good idea to consult a sex therapist.
WHERE DOES FEMALE EJACULATION FLUID COME FROM?
Where does ejaculate come from in a woman who doesn’t have a penis? Fun fact: it comes from the Skene’s glands (also called the paraurethral glands), which are located in the urethral sponge. These glands are small ducts located on the sides of the urethra, in front of the vaginal wall. Sometimes the Skene’s glands are referred to as the “female prostate,” but that’s because humans are bad at naming things. The Skene’s glands are not prostate glands, despite their similar ability to shoot fluid out of the urethra, and the fluids from the Skene’s glands are not prostatic fluids.
IS SQUIRTING NORMAL?
Yes! Squirting is a completely normal (and very fun) sexual activity. For some, it may seem like a far-off concept that seems impossible, but we assure you that it is possible if you are interested.
While it’s true that not every woman has squirted, the phenomenon isn’t all that uncommon. According to a 2013 study, anywhere from 10-54% of women have squirted, and the average amount of fluid ejaculated ranged from 0.3 ml to 150 ml. That’s a wide range on both sides.
More specifically, among the women who squirt, the frequency varies, but one striking statistic is that 19% of women in the study reported squirting almost every time during sex.
HOW CAN YOU SQUIRT DURING SEX?
Wondering how to make yourself squirt? The first and most important step is to take the pressure off yourself to perform. The fact is, squirting may not happen, and that’s totally okay. So much of a woman’s mental health, safety, and connection play a role in squirting, and if you or your partner are feeling the pressure to perform, chances are no one is going to be playing with the squirt gun that day.
PREPARING FOR SQUIRTING
Make sure you prepare your space so that you can easily clean up after the "waterfall" you are going to create. Put something absorbent over your nice sex spot (which may also be your bed). This will make it easier to clean up after a small indoor rain shower and you can get to bed quickly afterwards. maybe sex in the shower a good alternative?
RELAX, YOU DESERVE IT
A woman's ability to squirt depends on both her mental and physical relaxation. If you get too caught up in your head, the experience will be more difficult. Make sure you create a relaxed and safe environment where you can fully enjoy this amazing sexual experience.
FOREPLAY IS ESSENTIAL
Squirting doesn’t happen without some healthy sexual arousal. Lots of foreplay and sexual stimulation are required for this experience, which is great because who doesn’t love a lot of love? You know what turns you on? Start by touching and caressing those spots so your body knows it’s time to focus on sexual pleasure.
THE LOCATION OF YOUR G-SPOT
Once you're all warmed up, it's time to find your G-spot (or have your partner find it). Whether you're a G-spot vibrator using your own hands, or your partner's hands, you want to apply some firm, rhythmic pressure to the inside of the vaginal wall (the top, toward the belly).

OTHER SEXUAL ACTIVITIES
While you're focusing on the G-spot, you can also explore other forms of sexual stimulation, such as oral sex or clitoral stimulation. This can help you experience an intense G-spot orgasm and squirting at the same time!
