This Pride Month, take a moment to explore what pleasure means to you and how you can celebrate it even more.
Long popular in sex-savvy circles, squirting can still feel like an elusive endeavor to most. What is squirting? Or more importantly, how to squirt? Even MORE importantly, how to make YOURSELF squirt? And for the biologically curious, is squirt pee? Let’s look at some helpful tips if you so choose to practice (key word, practice!) squirting.
What is squirting?
In the simplest of terms, female squirting is the release of liquid during sexual stimulation. Also sometimes referred to as female ejaculation, there has been much speculation about what liquid is expelled with a squirting orgasm. Also, some make a definite distinction between female ejaculation and squirting.
Common question – is squirt pee? There are mixed claims on this one, as squirting fluid consists of clear, watery liquid originating from the urethra. But, women can also ejaculate a thicker, milkier prostratic gland fluid – thus, the differentiation between squirting and female ejaculation. Check out this nifty, more science-y article if you want to deep dive. I think the biggest takeaway being that regardless of the fluid being pee or a close cousin, squirting should NEVER be shamed. We women have had enough of that. Also, feeling pressure to squirt is not okay. Not all women can squirt, so let’s treat this more like an exploration of pleasure…and if we get soaked in the process, so be it.
Step 1: Set the Scene
Take the time to make a relaxed, sexy squirting play space. Since squirting can involve the release of fluid, lay down a towel or have one ready. And certainly, turn off the phone and make sure you (or you and your partner) have the time and space to fully enjoy the process.
Step 2: Foreplay and Arousal
I cannot say this enough – foreplay, foreplay, foreplay! Kissing, whole-body self or partner massage (don’t forget those inner thighs), dirty talk, ethical porn – whatever gets you or your partner revved up and tingling for more…do it and do it slowly, consciously and with extra delicious care. Turn it up with oral sex, finger play and of course, TOYS…
