Understanding squirting: What it means to be a fountain woman

Female sexuality is a fascinating and often misunderstood topic. Among the many aspects of female pleasure, squirting, or being a "fountain woman," is a phenomenon that has sparked curiosity, debate, and even myths. In this article, we’ll explore what squirting is, how it works, and how women can embrace their bodies and pleasure without shame.

What’s meant by the term fountain woman or “Squirting”?

Until very recently, there were very few studies on the phenomenon of the female fountain. In fact, the first studies about female pleasure date back to the 1970s. As a result, the field remains largely unknown, leading to taboos, clichés, shame, and sometimes even disgust.

It’s not fountain women on one side and the rest on the other. Those who are and those who aren’t. We can all experience this sensation one day, whatever the shape of our vulva, we just need to... master the system!

Well, master, not really... Indeed, for many women, the fountain arrives by surprise the first time. It’s an accident. An accident that might happen again, but not necessarily. There’s nothing permanent about squirting. You can be a fountain for only a short time or very occasionally. It’s not systematic either, it can be held back or even triggered, and it doesn't always happen at the moment of orgasm. In fact, there’s no particular profile for a “squirter,” but those who’ve experienced it talk about confidence and really letting go.

Expulsion or ejaculation? So what is this wetness?

I mentioned “ejaculation” in my introduction, but you should know that squirting isn’t the same as ejaculating. In fact, it’s neither the same liquid nor the same origin 🧐.

🩺 A little anatomy lesson: As with men, female ejaculation exists. This involves the release of around 1 ml of prostatic fluid, which most often goes unnoticed in the middle of the cyprin (more commonly known as, the wetness).

Indeed, while a man’s prostate weighs around 30g, women have the equivalent of a prostate, the Skene glands, which are very small. The liquid that escapes during squirting gushes out of the urethra and is said to be a by-product of urine with virtually no urea content, so it has no odor or color.

Let’s have a good time?

Well, taboos aren’t really my thing, especially when it comes to sexuality. Gone is the idea of penetrating, gushing men and penetrated, inner women. If it happens by chance, it’s nothing to be ashamed of. If our body is capable of having an orgasm so strong that it squirts, who wouldn’t want to be a part of it? Getting to know ourselves even better and finding new sources of pleasure is always a good thing, so let’s not be afraid of our bodies’ exceptional capacities.

Nevertheless, some men, fed up with porn, try to provoke squirting in their partners without their consent. In fact, squirting can be triggered by a game of fingering. Any woman can be a squirter, as long as she wants to be!

How to squirt?

If it’s something that tempts you, apart from any sexual performance, you can try to be a fountain woman for YOUR own pleasure. It takes a bit of patience and skill to hope for a spurt. So take advantage of a female masturbation session on your own to experiment solo, and then see if you feel up to doing it as a duo:

• Start by relaxing. A massage may be appropriate.
• Next, stimulate the G-spot by applying pleasant pressure to the urethra. Double stimulation of the clitoris, via the glans and via the vagina, is recommended.
• The best way is to insert two fingers into the vagina, palm upwards, and shake the hand vigorously up and down. 🔃
• Don’t forget to let yourself go completely, forget everything and let go! 🤤 It’ll happen eventually...

Now you know everything! Once again, nothing’s compulsory, just do it for your pleasure and don’t be ashamed!

What does science say about squirting?

While squirting has been a topic of intrigue, scientific research is still limited. A 2014 study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that the liquid released during squirting originates from the bladder, but is not identical to urine. The study also highlighted the role of the Skene glands in producing fluid during arousal. This reinforces the idea that squirting is a natural and unique bodily function.

Embracing your sexuality

Sexuality is a personal journey, and every woman’s experience is unique. Whether you squirt or not, the key is to embrace your body and its capabilities without judgment. Here are some tips to help you feel more confident:

• Communicate with your partner: Open conversations about your desires and boundaries can enhance intimacy and trust.
• Explore on your own: Solo sessions are a great way to understand your body and discover what feels good.
• Educate yourself: Read articles, watch educational videos, or consult a sexologist to learn more about female pleasure.
• Practice self-care: A relaxed and stress-free mind is essential for enjoying intimacy.
