The obvious is the unbelievable: How the squirt works
"I was very scared," - My friend told me about her first squirt. "And yet," she added in a whisper, "I thought I was describing myself." When I sat down to study the topic, I asked the subscribers to tell how it happens with them - and I was amazed how many people wrote to me! Familiar, unfamiliar, close friends, ex-girls. Squirt turned out to be a far more common affair than I thought. How does it work and why are there so many disputes around it? We understand together with scientists and experts, as well as those who agreed to share their experiences with women and non-binary people.
Unstudied Squirt
Despite the fact that there are references to squirting in the writings of Aristotle, the ancient Chinese and the Kama Sutra, there are still very few scientific data about him, and some scientists doubt its existence. “Squirt research now mostly revolves around the question of how real it is. The beautiful title of the Guardian article says for itself:“ The question is not whether there is female ejaculation. The question is why we don’t believe the women who report? "" - describes the situation with the squirrel research SexEducation-expert Maria Davoyan.
Dasha:
At fourteen, I learned to masturbate with my fingers - and I was terribly surprised by the huge puddle that was left on my bedding after an orgasm. I was sure that I did not write, and the puddle did not smell of urine: according to my recollections, it was just a warm, odorless water. I already had to read about squirting in fan fiction, but I would never have thought that it would be so wet!
It is not surprising that many women, first confronted with their own squirt, do not understand what happened to them, may feel embarrassed in front of a partner or partner, and even consider squirt a sign of illness.
Squirt is colloquially referred to as squirting and female ejaculation - although some researchers believe that these phenomena should be distinguished. Squirt or squirting is the release of a noticeable amount of clear or slightly colored liquid from the female urethra that occurs during sex. A female ejaculation - a splash of a small amount of thick whitish fluid from the glands of Skin ("female prostate"). True, since the Skene gland ducts also flow into the urethra, two types of discharge can easily be mixed.
How does female ejaculation work
For described by Anna below, "female ejaculation" is responsible for the Skin glands located around the urethra, which are considered analogous to the male prostate gland and are often called simply the "female prostate." In general, it is interesting that a significant part of the terms describing the phenomenon refers to the male anatomy: the whitish thick liquid exuding from the "female prostate" is called the "female ejaculant".
Anna:
During an orgasm, about two tablespoons of a viscous fluid with a whitish tinge flow from me. It smells just my vagina, salty.
Olga:
Sometimes my squirt is associated with an orgasm, sometimes not. In any case, after it, I feel light and pleasantly empty.
After analyzing the composition of the "female ejaculant", scientists found out a lot of interesting things. Firstly, that this is definitely not urine (this fact has long been questioned by science, so the discovery is important). Secondly, the "female ejaculant" contains protein components similar to those contained in the male seminal fluid: in particular, creatinine and PSA, a protein produced by the male prostate, were found there. Sex expert Logan Legkof states that the female ejaculant looks very similar to sperm in general - but, of course, no sperm. The volume of fluid, according to one study, can be up to fifteen milliliters - about three teaspoons.
How squirting works
And what if during sex or orgasm more than three teaspoons pour out of you? Women interviewed by Amy Gilliand of the University of Wiscon, reported that during orgasm they spill out enough liquid to "wet the bed" or "water the wall", or that their new partner or partner "cry out in fear or surprise."
The phenomenon of abundant squirt is dedicated to one of the few experiments with squirt, organized in the laboratory. Seven women who reported on their ability to squirt, underwent an ultrasound and had sex. An ultrasound scan before sex confirmed that each woman's bladder was empty. The second series of ultrasound was done before the approach of orgasm - and showed that the bladders of women are filled. With the third ultrasound, performed after squirt orgasm, each bladder was empty again. The liquid released during squirting, the researchers collected to analyze the composition. What was the result? The squirt liquid contained urine, creatinine, and in the five participants, the already mentioned PSA. At the same time, there was no PSA in the usual urine samples of these women - apparently, he got there directly when squirting.
Olesya:
Sometimes there can be a lot of fluids: once, with a partner, we were even scared and started to google, what volumes are generally acceptable for a squirt. The liquid itself is rather colorless, the smell can vary from almost neutral to salty or (you cannot throw out the words from a song) with an odor of urine.
Researchers conclude that the splashed liquid was associated with the bladder - but did not report its qualities. Nevertheless, this is an important point: most ejaculating and squirting women say that copious excretions do not look and do not smell like urine: they can be completely transparent and not have flavor.
Unfortunately, six of the thirteen women interviewed by Gilliand had never heard of female ejaculation before participating in the study, considered themselves "abnormal" or thought they were urinary incontinence. Of course, incontinence is important to exclude and in case of doubt, check with a doctor. But, as a rule, it makes itself felt not only during sex - in contrast to splashing fluid when squirting. It is not uncommon for women, who knew nothing about squirting and faced it, began to suppress their orgasm, and also to seek surgical intervention, to undergo surgeries in order to "recover."
Can everyone squirt
According to research data, at least once in a lifetime, 10 to 54% of women have experienced squirt. The spread is rather big, and this is not surprising: many studies were done by a survey method, and often with a very small number of participants. In any case, to say that "no squirt does not exist," is becoming increasingly difficult, and the phenomenon itself may be much more common than scientists assumed. “It’s stupid that we waited so much before we began to explore the female anatomy,” says Emmanuel Giannini, a researcher of G and Gill Skins of the Italian University of L'Aquila. Researchers associate female ejaculation with stimulation of the zone on the front wall of the vagina near the urethra. Previously, the so-called G-spot was determined there, but today this zone is considered in the context of the entire clitorouretrovinal complex.
Olesya:
I don’t even feel how the fluid “shoots out” of me, so I don’t notice any difference in sensations.
Vera:
If a squirt happens before an orgasm or during an orgasm - the orgasm itself increases for me, lasts longer and generally feels somehow "more powerful".
According to a survey of three hundred and twenty women capable of squirting, 78.8% of them believe that this feature enriches their sex life, and 90% of the partners and partners of the respondents find squirt attractive.
Are all women capable of squirting? Although some sex coaches insist that yes, for science it is still an open question. Specifically, not everyone can develop with female ejaculation: the Skin glands are developed differently for everyone, and some may simply be absent. Scientists suggest that for such women the possibility of meeting with their own ejaculate is unlikely.
In any case, although squirt occurs during sexual stimulation, it is not always associated with orgasm. Moreover, the idea that a squirt certainly intensifies sensations during orgasm is only partly true. Some women talk about enhancing sensations, some more important are feelings from sex and orgasm - and the squirt is perceived by them as a “side effect”.
Mira:
Notifying people about my features for the first time for me is a bit anxious. I do not always understand at what point it is appropriate to do it, but I also fear that a person will tensely wait for the “same” moment - and he is not a fact of what will happen. This is completely normal for me, not a sign of a feil, but, unfortunately, many of us are accustomed to consider orgasm as the goal of sex or an important criterion for its success. In my opinion, this often spoils the opportunity to simply enjoy the process and calmly study each other.
Nevertheless, I have not yet encountered a negative reaction to squirt: it seems that partners and partners like it, and they always very nicely reassure me when I say that it can sometimes be embarrassing and embarrassing to me.
Taking care of yourself
For women experiencing squirts, it is not so important to know the composition and mechanics of secretions, how to build comfortable relationships with their own characteristics and to be sure that everything is in order with the body. You can warn a partner or partner about squirting, and keep a couple of towels next to the bed or use an absorbent sheet depending on the abundance of secretions.
Marie:
Recently, we are using a partner for sex the other end of the mattress, so that the puddle does not remain in the middle. I also think to buy black sheets in IKEA, traces of liquid are not so noticeable on them.
Olga:
Squirt happens to me during masturbation - so I just began to masturbate in the bathroom. This solves problems with privacy and sheets.
Anya:
Recently, I began to use absorbing diapers during sex - and it turned out to be very convenient: at last I can not control myself.
"Regardless of how the biological mechanism of female ejaculation is arranged, the physical sensations from her are first and foremost an expression of a woman’s sexual pleasure," writes Alptraum, sex education specialist, at The Guardian.
A sex expert and psychologist Maria Davoyan summarizes: "Since the squirt is still poorly studied and has been subject to fetishization lately, information about it should be given very carefully. If not in sex education classes, which in Russia, unfortunately, are not included in the mandatory program , then at least during biology lessons it is important to say that physiology is an extremely individual thing, and although scientists have not yet come to a common opinion about the nature of squirt, the release of fluid from women during orgasm is not a rare phenomenon and you shouldn’t be afraid I'm either ashamed.
