We’re about to get our feet wet in the wild waters of learning about this unique and exhilarating aspect of sexual pleasure. So, grab your metaphorical life jackets and let’s set sail into the sea of squirting knowledge – no umbrella needed!

The Taboo of Squirting 

Squirting is not just a biological phenomenon; it’s also a subject deeply entangled with social stigma and personal feelings of embarrassment. In many cases, women who experience squirting may feel ashamed or confused due to the misconceptions surrounding it. 

This discomfort largely stems from the fluid’s resemblance to pee, both in appearance and sometimes in sensation. 

This similarity can make the experience feel less like a sexual response and more like a loss of control or an embarrassing accident, especially in a society that often portrays female sexual expression in very limited and specific ways.

Additionally, the rarity of squirting in mainstream discussions of female sexuality contributes to its mystique and the shame that can surround it. 

Women – and men – who squirt might feel alienated or abnormal, as they rarely see their experiences reflected in media, education, or even in conversations with peers. This lack of representation can lead to a sense of isolation and a belief that their sexual response is atypical or undesirable.

Moreover, societal norms that often prioritize male pleasure in sexual encounters can leave women feeling self-conscious about responses that are not as commonly understood or appreciated. 

The fear of a partner’s negative reaction—whether it be surprise, disgust, or disbelief—can further intensify feelings of shame and embarrassment.

In many cultures, open discussions about female sexual pleasure are still taboo, and phenomena like squirting that fall outside the “norm” (at least in conversation) are not adequately addressed in sexual education. 

This lack of information perpetuates myths and misunderstandings, leaving women who experience squirting without the knowledge or language to understand and embrace this aspect of their sexuality.

Addressing these stigmas requires a concerted effort to normalize a wide range of female sexual responses, especially on an individual level. 

By fostering open, honest, and inclusive conversations about sexuality with your partner, you can begin to dismantle the misconceptions and shame surrounding squirting, empowering your partner to embrace their body and sexual pleasure.

What Does Squirting Feel Like?

Squirting, scientifically known as female ejaculation, can feel different for each woman. 

It often accompanies an intense level of arousal and can occur with – or separate from – an orgasm. 

Physically, it’s described as a sudden release of fluid from the Skene’s glands, located near the end of the urethra. In other words: you might feel like you’re peeing. Don’t be ashamed! It’s not actually pee.

This sensation can be quite intense and may feel like a strong wave of relief or release. Emotionally, it can be experienced as a deeply satisfying and liberating sensation, often accompanied by a heightened sense of emotional and physical release. 

It’s important to note that the experience of squirting can vary greatly, and some women report feeling a gushing sensation while others experience a more subtle release.

Can All Women Squirt?

The ability to squirt during sexual activity is a topic of much debate. It’s essential to understand that no, not all women squirt. 

The ability to do so can depend on a variety of factors, including physical anatomy, level of arousal, and the specific kind of sexual stimulation received. Studies suggest that the presence and size of the Skene’s glands, also known as the female prostate, play a significant role in a woman’s ability to squirt. (1) Let’s say that again:

These Skene’s glands are analogous to the male prostate and are responsible for producing the fluid associated with squirting. However, their size and functionality can vary greatly among women.

Moreover, research indicates that the phenomenon of squirting is not universally experienced by all women. Some may never experience it despite high levels of sexual arousal and stimulation. It’s crucial to emphasize that squirting is only one aspect of the female sexual experience and its absence does not indicate any lack of sexual capability or pleasure. 

This bears repeating more directly: if your partner cannot squirt, there should not be any shame or disappointment in that, else you are setting yourself up for some tense times and negative experiences. 

Likewise, squirting is a perfectly normal aspect of some people’s sexual experiences.

Step 1: Prepare Your Partner 

Communication is the bedrock of any sexual adventure, and it’s essential when exploring something as intimate as squirting. 

Start by having an open and honest conversation with your partner about your desire to explore this experience. Ensure they understand what squirting is (a release of fluid – not pee! – during intense sexual arousal) and that it’s a natural, enjoyable part of sexual activity for some women. 

Discussing this openly can dispel any myths or concerns they may have.

Take time to genuinely listen to your partner’s concerns, and if you don’t know the answer to something, look it up online with them!

Encourage them to do a bit of research themselves if they’re unfamiliar or uncomfortable, and vocalize that this is something you would like to explore. 

This step isn’t just about physical preparation; it’s about creating a supportive and informed atmosphere in your relationship. Remember: care and attention is sexy.

Step 2: Prepare The Bed 

Now, let’s talk logistics. 

Squirting can sometimes mean a fair amount of fluid, and while it’s completely natural, you don’t want to be worrying about your bedding in the heat of the moment.

Start by making your bed squirting-friendly. A waterproof mattress protector is a great investment – it’s discreet and does the job without disrupting comfort. 

If you don’t have one, layering towels is a practical alternative. Choose towels that are soft and absorbent.

The idea is to create a space where you won’t be distracted by the potential mess. You want to be able to fully let go without a single worry about the aftermath. 

This practical setup speaks volumes; it shows you’re both prepared and excited for the experience, creating a positive, anticipatory atmosphere. Plus, it makes the clean-up afterwards a breeze, so you can focus on cuddling – or round two!

Step 3: Encourage the Sensations

In this stage, the aim is to build up intense pleasure, focusing on both clitoral and G-spot stimulation. Now that you’ve gone through your foreplay, let’s talk about technique in how to make a girl squirt.

Clitoral Stimulation: Start with what’s familiar. Gentle, rhythmic touches on the clitoris can escalate arousal. Each woman responds differently, so experiment with various speeds and pressure. 

Circular motions or up-and-down strokes often work wonders. Remember, the clitoris is a powerhouse of pleasure, with over 8,000 nerve endings, so tread lightly and attentively.

Finding the G-Spot: Located about 2 inches inside the vagina on the anterior (front) wall, it often feels slightly ridged or spongy. You or your partner can stimulate it using a “come-hither” motion with the fingers. 

This motion mimics a beckoning gesture, gentle yet firm, creating a pressure that can feel incredibly satisfying. The G-spot swells with increased arousal, making it easier to find as things heat up.

Combine and Conquer: Why choose one when you can play with both? Alternate between clitoral and G-spot stimulation. This dual action can amplify the sensations, leading to a more intense build-up.

Pace and Pressure: Pay attention to her responses. If she’s enjoying a particular rhythm or pressure, keep at it. If she’s pulling away or not responding, switch it up. Communication is key here – encourage her to tell you or show you what feels good.

Experiment with Angles: The angle of penetration can drastically change the sensation. Try lifting her hips with a pillow or changing positions. Sometimes, a slight shift can hit all the right notes.

Riding the Wave: As arousal builds, so does the likelihood of squirting. Some women feel a sensation similar to needing to pee when they’re about to squirt. 

This is normal; it’s the Skene’s glands filling up. Encourage her to let go and ride the wave of sensation.

Remember, the goal here is pleasure and exploration, not necessarily performance. You don’t need to hit all the notes perfectly in the first try. Keeping the mood light, playful, and focused on her responses – that will make the journey enjoyable for both.

Relaxation and Foreplay Are Key

When it comes to the art of squirting, relaxation and foreplay aren’t just the appetizers; they’re a crucial part of the main course. These are foundational, key aspects of a good time, especially when exploring squirting for the first time.

Psychological Comfort: Squirting requires a level of comfort and trust, both with oneself and one’s partner. It’s essential to feel psychologically safe and relaxed. This can be achieved through open communication, creating a comfortable environment, and ensuring consent and mutual enthusiasm.

Physical Ease: The body needs to be in a state of ease. Stress and tension are like barriers; they can hinder the body’s ability to fully let go. Deep breathing, gentle massages, and setting a calming ambiance (think soft lighting, comfortable temperature) can help in achieving physical relaxation.

Foreplay: Turning Up the Heat

Slow and Steady Wins the Race: Rushing to the finish line might work in a sprint, but in the realm of sexual pleasure, slow and steady creates a more intense and fulfilling experience. Foreplay allows for a gradual build-up of arousal, which is crucial for squirting.

Exploring Erogenous Zones: The body is a landscape of pleasure, with many erogenous zones beyond the genitals. Nipples, neck, inner thighs, and even the ears can be playgrounds of pleasure. Discovering and stimulating these zones can significantly enhance arousal.

Clitoral Stimulation: The clitoris is a powerhouse of pleasure, with over 8,000 nerve endings. Stimulating it can lead to increased vaginal lubrication and heightened sexual excitement, both of which are vital in the journey towards squirting.

Communication is Sexy: Keep checking in with your partner. Ask them what feels good, or if they want you to continue, slow down, or try something new. This not only ensures consent but also enhances intimacy and connection.

The Mental Game

Letting Go of Performance Anxiety: Sometimes the pressure to squirt can become a mental block. It’s crucial to shift the focus from the goal of squirting to the enjoyment of the moment. Pleasure is the true north star here, not the act of squirting.

Fantasy and Imagination: Engaging in fantasies or erotic talk can further amplify arousal. The brain is a potent sexual organ; stimulating it can elevate the physical experience.

Troubleshooting Tips 

When embarking on the journey towards squirting, it’s crucial to recognize that every woman’s body responds differently. 

If squirting doesn’t happen, it’s important not to view it as a failure or a lack of skill. Instead, view this as an opportunity to better understand the body’s responses. For some, the sensation of nearing a squirt can feel a lot like the urge to urinate, which can be confusing or off-putting. 

It’s essential to reassure your partner that this sensation is normal and to encourage them to relax and let go. However, if discomfort or pain is experienced, it’s vital to stop and reassess. This could be an indication of needing more lubrication, adjusting the technique, or even a sign of an underlying health issue that should be checked by a healthcare professional.

There’s No Expectations 

Setting a goal to squirt can inadvertently lead to pressure and anxiety, which are counterproductive. It’s important to approach this experience with an open mind and without any preset expectations. 

Emphasizing the importance of connection, mutual pleasure, and mutual exploration is key. When the focus shifts away from achieving a specific outcome to simply enjoying the moment and each other, the experience becomes more relaxed and enjoyable, which paradoxically, may make squirting more likely.

How to Find the G-Spot 

The G-Spot, a key player in squirting, is unfortunately some place that everyone jokes about being hidden or elusive. (2)

It’s located on the front wall of the vagina, a few inches in, and often has a spongy texture. The best way to stimulate it is usually with a come-hither motion using fingers. 

It’s important to communicate with your partner during stimulation to ensure comfort and pleasure, since everyone’s body is a little different. Everyone’s sensitivity and preferences differ, so it’s a matter of exploring various pressures and motions to find what works best.

Toys Can Help!

Incorporating sex toys can add a new dimension to G-spot stimulation. Vibrators specifically designed for G-spot stimulation can enhance arousal and make it easier to explore different sensations. It’s important to choose a toy that is comfortable and suits your needs, and to use plenty of lubrication for a smooth experience.

Amp Up Your Technique 

Improving technique involves a combination of patience, practice, and communication. Varying the speed, pressure, and rhythm during stimulation can lead to different sensations. Pay attention to your partner’s responses and adjust accordingly. It’s about finding a balance between persistence and mindfulness of your partner’s comfort level.

Hydration and an Empty Bladder 

Hydration is important for overall sexual health and can aid in the squirting process. However, an empty bladder is equally important to ensure comfort and to help distinguish the sensation of squirting from the urge to urinate. Encouraging your partner to use the bathroom before engaging in sexual activity can help alleviate any concerns about this.
