Truths and Myths about Squirting: Is Squirting Pee?

Truths and Myths About Squirting: An Empowerment Guide 

SQUIRTING IS MAGIC and your beautiful, powerful body is an endless source of wonder!

Now that we've cleared the air (and embraced the fact that shame has no place here), helloooooooo beautiful soul!

This writing is centered around the mysterious, exhilarating, and wildly misunderstood element of squirting.

There's SOOOOO much historical confusion to unpack, so let’s get started with some simple yes and no questions and answers, updated with the most current understanding, because things are ALWAYS changing in science since women are the least studied.

Quick Fire: The Truths and Myths About Squirting

Q: Can every person with a vulva squirt?

No. Just like not everyone can achieve a hands-free orgasm, not every body is configured to squirt and that is perfectly, wonderfully fine!Your pleasure is not defined by how it looks, but by how it feels.

Q: Is squirting the same as urinating?

No, my love, this is the biggest, most persistent myth!While the fluid may share a common exit route and is primarily water-based, it is not the same as urine. Different composition, different purpose, different magic.

Q: Do the liquids come out of the same hole as urine?

Yes! The fluid is released from the urethra, which also happens to be the exit point for urine. This is exactly why the confusion started in the first place! But it’s not our fault because anatomy, although incredible, wasn’t taught to us in the least bit.

Q: Is squirting, gushing, and creaming all the same?

No, they’re not the same. They’re different expressions of pleasure.

• Creaming is your body’s natural arousal lubrication.

• Gushing or squirting is the sudden release of a larger amount of clear fluid from the urethra.

• Female ejaculation is the release of a smaller, milky fluid from the Skene’s glands (aka the female prostate), which may contain PSA.Different textures, same beautiful intention: release and pleasure.

Q: Is squirting gross or nasty?

Absolutely not! Squirting is a gorgeous, natural physical response to pleasure.The only thing “gross” here is the shame society tries to attach to our bodies. Let’s rinse that away, too.

Q: Can you squirt without having an orgasm?

Yes, darling. While they often happen together, squirting and orgasm are not the same thing.

Squirting is a physical release of fluid, while orgasm is a neurological event. You can experience one, both, or neither. Remember, pleasure isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Now Let's Talk About the Fluid: Debunking the Myths

Now that we’ve established what it is, let’s get into what the science says about the "stuff" itself.

The Urine Myth (The Biggest Debunk!)

The fear that you're just peeing yourself is what stops so many people from letting go and fully experiencing this phenomenon! While the fluid is mostly plasma from the bloodstream, it does come out of the urethra, which causes the chemical overlap with urine.

FACT CHECK: The fluid released when squirting (the large volume, clear fluid) has been scientifically analyzed and is found to be a very diluted fluid. It has low levels of the markers usually found in concentrated urine. It is mostly water, glucose, and trace elements. While it does contain tiny amounts of urea and creatinine (urine components), its overall composition is significantly different from a bladder full of urine!

The Porn Myth (A Little Honest Truth)

Have you ever seen the videos where women squirt geysers high into the air, soaking the bed?

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ATIYA: While some people truly can shoot theirs pretty damn far naturally (and we love that for them!), many of those dramatic sprays in adult films are achieved by training, practice, and often, a little movie magic. This can include drinking immense amounts of water to dilute the fluid or, yes, even pre-inserted liquids to create that high-volume, splashy effect. Please, my love, do not compare your real, wonderful, leaky, or gushing experience to a choreographed fantasy!

The Statistics on Shared Pleasure

The science is fascinating, but what really matters is how this adds to your pleasure!

According to current research and surveys in sexual health:

• G-spot Stimulation is Key: While it’s still often called the "G-spot," stimulation of the anterior vaginal wall (which is where the female prostate/Skene's glands and the nerve bundles around the urethra are located) is the most popular technique for inducing a squirt.

• A Welcome Addition: A significant majority of women and their partners report that squirting enhanced their sexual encounters.

• It’s Not Universal: Anywhere between 10% and 54% of people with a vulva report having experienced some form of female ejaculation or squirting. The wide range just shows how many of us are still exploring and learning to differentiate these responses!

My main motivation behind writing all of this is to debunk every single myth and lie created about the magical things our bodies can do that have been deemed "gross." when in turn, it's actually quite fascinating.

I could go ON AND ON AND ON, but who really feels like reading that much? For my auditory and visual loves, I’ve compacted everything I wanted to say in a PODCAST EPISODE and a VIDEO COURSE! Pick your poison.
