Can you do self-insemination at home ?
The first time I encountered a candid discussion about squirting was while attending a performance of “The Vagina Monologues.” One of the actresses shared her experience of having her first orgasm with a partner, vividly describing fluid “gushing and gushing out of her body.” The intensity of her performance revealed that it was a traumatic moment; it frightened her because she had no idea what was happening. Her partner also seemed confused, later telling others at school that she had simply peed herself. This misunderstanding left her feeling distressed and she didn’t experience another orgasm for five more years.
You might have seen squirting depicted in adult films or maybe you’ve experienced it yourself. Despite this, there’s still considerable confusion surrounding squirting and female ejaculation. Whether you’re personally familiar with it or not, the lack of open conversation often leads to embarrassment or misunderstanding about this natural bodily function.
One of the largest myths is that female ejaculation and squirting are identical, but they are not. Before delving into the mechanics of squirting, it’s essential to acknowledge that just like some people can wiggle their ears or roll their tongues, some can squirt while others cannot. Both are completely normal. If you squirt during climax, you’re not unusual; if you don’t, you’re not lacking in any way. And if your partner isn’t comfortable with your squirting, it might be time to reconsider that relationship.
In a recent interview, Lisa Greene, Editor-in-Chief of Health & Wellness Digest, clarified the science behind this phenomenon. Female ejaculate originates from the Skene’s glands, which are situated near the urethra. These glands release a milky fluid during orgasm, whether with a partner or during solo play. On the other hand, when one “squirts,” the fluid expelled is coming from the urethra itself, not the Skene’s glands, leading to confusion.
“Essentially, the secretions from the Skene’s glands are a milky fluid that can be released along with the squirt in women who have that ability,” Greene explains. Thus, when someone who can squirt does so, they often experience both ejaculation and urination simultaneously, which adds to the confusion surrounding the two.
Greene states, “Female ejaculate and squirting are two different fluids released at the same time — female ejaculate from the Skene’s glands, and urine (the actual squirt) from the bladder.” The fluid can sometimes appear yellow, but generally, a significant portion of what’s expelled during squirting is urine, not just traces. A study published in the National Library of Medicine indicates that squirting primarily involves the involuntary release of urine during sexual activity.
In short, when someone squirts while experiencing an orgasm, they are simultaneously ejaculating and urinating. Greene notes, “Yes, there is some female ejaculate present (usually — five out of seven study participants had prostatic-specific antigen/female ejaculate in their squirt), but female ejaculation and squirting are indeed distinct processes.”
Many who squirt, along with their partners, report that it enhances their sexual experiences and can be incredibly pleasurable. So, if you’re among those who can squirt, just keep some towels handy and embrace the journey!
