Squirting

Squirting refers to the release of a larger amount of clear, usually water-like fluid from the urethral opening or the vulvar area during strong sexual arousal or orgasm. The phenomenon is often accompanied by intense stimulation and varies greatly from person to person. It is not identical to “female ejaculation,” as these terms are used differently in the literature and do not always mean the same thing.

The exact composition of the fluid has not been fully settled scientifically; it may contain components from the bladder and is therefore distinguished by many experts from true ejaculation. Squirting is neither a measure of pleasure nor of orgasm ability and does not occur in everyone. In a sexual context, it should be handled without judgment and with attention to hygiene, without pressure or expectations.
