If you’ve been curious about squirting, you may have heard the myth that squiring isn’t even real — well, we’re here to tell you that it’s definitely real. It’s something that some vulva-owners do during orgasm, but not all of them.
Squirting is the release of fluid from those with a vulva during sexual stimulation.
While some refer to it as ‘female ejactulation,’ we appreciate the fact that not all vulva-owners identify as female. Further, the fluid released is actually a combination of urea, uric acid, and creatinine released by the Skene’s glands (part of the urethra), which differs from the production and release of the ejaculate it’s being compared to.
A lot is still unknown when it comes to squirting, but it’s believed that 10-50% of women are able to squirt. That being said, it’s important not to get down on yourself if you aren’t able to do so!
Squirting tends to happen with g-spot stimulation or a combination of g-spot and clitoral stimulation. It can be done manually with the hands (your own or those of your partner), with a toy, or through penetration.
Here are some positions to try if you want to try to squirt during partnered sex.
Doggy style
This is a great position with a penis-owning partner or a partner with a strap-on. The angle from behind allows the front wall of the vaginal canal, where the g-spot is, to be easily stimulated. Turn it up a notch by having the receiver reach back and rub their own clitoris with a finger or even a vibrator.
Missionary
Missionary is a great position to try squirting from because both partners have easy access to the clitoris. You may have better luck squirting in missionary with a position pillow under your hips to help angle the penis or dildo towards your g-spot.
Lying down from behind
In this position, the vulva-owning receiver is laying face down with their legs together. The partner is to straddle and enter the vulva-owning partner from behind. In this position, it’s a little bit more difficult to stimulate the clitoris, but still doable!
Whatever position you try, ease of access for clitoral stimulation and the penis or dildo rubbing against the g-spot are key.
When your vulva-owning partner is right on the edge of orgasm, pull out and begin rubbing the g-spot to allow space for them to squirt. This may not work for all, however, as some may need the constant stimulation of the g-spot in order to make it happen. Work with your partner to figure out what works best for you!
