The Science Of Squirt: What Is Squirting, And How Do You Do It?

If you’re trying this on a partner, try inserting one or two fingers into the rectum and curving them upward towards the front of the body. While your fingers are just one to two knuckles deep, explore the area and different levels of pressure while in communication with your partner until you find the spots that feel best. To build up arousal, it’s important to spend plenty of time engaging in foreplay.

That said, if she’s already gripping the sheets and begging for it, you know you’ve done it right. For many people, blended orgasms—that is, orgasms that result from multiple types of stimulation—are the key to squirting. “When you have that clitoral stimulation and fullness in the vagina as well, that gives two different feelings at the same time,” says Hall.

Research indicates they produce distinct fluids from different organs (female ejaculation from the female prostate, squirting from the bladder). In a study involving women who can squirt, researchers emptied the participants’ bladders with a catheter and then injected a blue dye into the bladders. They then induced squirting with sexual stimulation and collected the fluid.

As you strengthen those associations, “orgasm becomes more likely to find you,” she says. The more you explore your own body and get comfortable with the way you come, the easier orgasm gets, Dr. Wise says. It’s why she and Stewart are both staunch advocates of regular self-pleasure, whether you’re looking to squirt or just amp up the way you finish. As for what that liquid actually is, where it originates, and what makes it spray…or dribble or spew? Read on to learn what some very innovative science is beginning to reveal about squirting, plus how to make your next sex-counter wetter n’ wilder.

Both positions allow you to stimulate her G-spot easily with increasing pressure. As you keep rubbing on her G-spot, she’s going to come closer and closer to her squirting orgasm. Anyone with a clitoris should give it a go, as it truly is unlike other vibrators, and variety is the spice of life. If you’re gross like me and use it so often it becomes covered in sex goo, may I suggest the UVee sex toy cleaner? It’s important to clean sex toys after use to zap up bacteria because we want orgasms, not a UTI. And just like baths, and masturbating, by the way, cleaning is totally witchy.

Continue to check in with your partner about what feels good to them before increasing pressure. The amount of ejaculate vulva owners release through squirting can range from 0.3 milliliters to more than 150 milliliters, found a 2013 study. Some bodies just squirt more than others, and hydration levels can impact the amount of ejaculate, too. “It doesn’t mean you did a better job if there was more fluid,” says Lola Jean, a sex educator and self-proclaimed “Olympic Squirter.”

The urethra relies on muscular contractions to push fluid out, and if she can’t control those muscles, squirting won’t happen. And here’s the exciting part—you can learn how to make it happen. And no, it’s not because she’s “just not built for it.” More often than not, it’s tight muscles, overthinking how to squirt, or just bad technique.So, let’s break down what’s really standing in the way. Is squirting like the female version of Bigfoot—some swear it’s real, others say it’s just a myth? In a survey published, nearly one in three women—about 33%—have experienced squirting during sex—so either science is lying, or you’re missing out. Keep reading because if she’s not gushing yet, you’re about to find out why.
