Squirting is one of the most fascinating yet most misunderstood phenomena surrounding female sexuality. What exactly happens? Is it urine? Can every woman squirt? In this guide, you'll get all the answers – scientifically sound, honest, and myth-free.
💦 What is Squirting?
Squirting (also known as female ejaculation) describes the expulsion of fluid from the urethra during sexual arousal or orgasm. The fluid originates from the Skene's glands – small glands on either side of the urethra, considered the functional equivalent of the male prostate. The expelled fluid is clear to slightly milky, odorless, and chemically distinct from urine. Studies show that it contains PSA (prostate-specific antigen).
The practical preparation is having a waterproof sheet ready: sheets and tubs.
💦 Squirting vs. Female Ejaculation
- Female Ejaculation: Small amount of milky-white fluid from the Skene's glands – often barely perceptible.
- Squirting: Larger amount of clear fluid, expelled in a gush – more spectacular, but also more mixed with bladder contents.
💦 Can every woman squirt?
Theoretically, yes – all people with female anatomy have Skene's glands. However, their size varies greatly. It is not just a matter of technique, but also of individual anatomy. Squirting is not a measure of good sex – it is a possible experience, not a requirement.
💦 How does squirting work? The anatomy behind it
The key lies in the G-spot – an erectile zone on the front wall of the vagina, about 5–7 cm from the entrance. When aroused, this tissue swells and encloses the Skene's glands.
- Strong arousal → G-spot tissue swells
- Skene's glands produce secretions
- During orgasm, pelvic floor muscles contract
- Fluid is expelled through the urethra
💦 Step-by-step: How to try squirting
1. Relaxation is everything
Tension blocks. Take your time, create a relaxed atmosphere, and let go of the pressure.
2. Be sufficiently aroused
Squirting rarely happens without intense foreplay. Read our guide: The perfect foreplay.
3. Deliberately stimulate the G-spot
Stimulate the front wall of the vagina with your finger (slightly bent, "come here" motion) or a G-spot vibrator. The pressure should be firm, rhythmic, and sustained.
4. Allow the urge
Just before squirting, there is often a feeling like the urge to urinate. Many women instinctively suppress it – which prevents squirting. Relax your pelvic floor muscles.
5. Combination of clitoris + G-spot
The most effective method: simultaneous stimulation of the clitoris and G-spot. Rabbit vibrators or dual stimulators can help here.
💦 The best toys for squirting
- Curved shape for targeted G-spot stimulation
- Firm materials (silicone, glass, metal) transmit pressure better than soft TPE toys
- Vibration further intensifies stimulation
- Dual stimulation (G-spot + clitoris simultaneously) significantly increases the likelihood

🚫 Common myths – and what's really true
| Myth | Truth |
|---|---|
| "Squirting is just urine" | False – the fluid contains PSA and is chemically different from urine |
| "Every woman can squirt if she does it right" | Partially false – anatomy plays a crucial role |
| "Squirting = more intense orgasm" | Not necessarily – both are possible independently of each other |
| "Squirting looks like it does in porn" | Mostly exaggerated – real squirting is often more subtle |
💦 Squirting in a partnership
Communication is key. More on this: Communication in bed and Sex toys for couples.
✅ Conclusion
Squirting is real, fascinating, and achievable for many women – but not a must. With the right knowledge, patience, and the right toy, you can explore this experience purposefully. Discover our Dildo Guide and the Guide to Masturbation for further inspiration.
❓ Frequently asked questions
Is squirting just urine?
No, but the fluid comes from the bladder and contains traces of urea. Studies also find PSA from the Skene's glands – so it is neither pure urine nor pure ejaculate.
Can every woman squirt?
Probably most, but not all – and not at any time. It is not a skill you master but a reaction that may occur. Making it a goal usually prevents it.
Why does it feel like needing to urinate?
Because the fluid really does come from the bladder, and pressure on the front wall triggers the same signal. Going to the toilet beforehand removes the worry – the urge still comes.
What do you put underneath?
A waterproof sheet or a large towel. The amount ranges from a few millilitres to several hundred – being prepared means you do not have to hold back.
