Everything You Need to Know About Female Ejaculation
Can All Women Squirt? - Essence
Where does it comes from? Is it pee? And how might I make it happen for me? The first time Gilly, 41, squirted, it left her on a high. I took a photo of the wet patch so I could reassure myself that it really had happened. Tash, 26, was a bit more floored — and worried about the carpet.
But how does it happen, what happens exactly and what causes it? Female ejaculation is strongly linked to G-spot simulation, that is, stimulation of the internal area at the front of the vagina. Your G-spot can be stimulated in any number of ways, either through intercourse, foreplay or with a vibrator — but it can take some practice to find your sweet spot. This can vary hugely from woman to woman, with anything from a capful of liquid to much more being the norm. All of a sudden, the feeling intensified through my body and I ejaculated.
It can happen when a female becomes sexually aroused, but there is not necessarily an association with having an orgasm. Scientists do not fully understand female ejaculation, and there is limited research on how it works and its purpose. Female ejaculation is perfectly normal, although researchers remain divided on how many people experience it.
