Is Squirting Really Pee? Let’s Clear the Air

Mar 12, 2025 | By: Velvet Lenae

Ever heard the whispers around “squirting” and wondered, “Is it just pee, or something else entirely?” It’s one of those topics that can spark heated debates, wild assumptions, and plenty of curiosity. Let's break down the squirting science of it all because it’s time we all got on the same page about what’s happening down there. We’ll also talk about what can help bring squirting into the picture if you’re curious.

 The Basics: What is Squirting?

Squirting generally refers to a gush or flow of fluid released from the urethra during sexual arousal or orgasm. Some people experience it regularly, some occasionally, and others not at all...and all are perfectly normal. Contrary to popular belief, squirting isn’t always tied to an orgasm. It can happen before, during, or after those peak moments.

The Big Question: Is It Pee?

Short Answer: Not exactly.

  1. Urethra Involvement

    • The fluid usually comes out of the urethra, the same tube used for urination. This understandably leads folks to assume it’s just pee. But the composition of the fluid can be different.

  2. Skene’s Glands

    • Often called the “female prostate,” Skene’s glands are located around the urethra and are believed to play a role in squirting. They can produce fluid when stimulated, which is why squirting is sometimes referred to as a form of female ejaculation. (We'll get into the difference between female ejaculation and squirting on another blog)

  3. Tiny Trace of Urine?

    • Some scientific studies suggest there might be a small amount of urine in the fluid, but not enough to label it outright as pee. Think of it more like a unique blend that can include components from the bladder, but also from these specialized glands.

Medical Terminology in Layman’s Terms

  • Urethra: The tube where urine (and squirting fluid) exits the body.
  • Bladder: The organ that collects urine. Some fluid might pass through here during arousal, but that doesn’t make squirting simply urination.
  • Skene’s Glands / Paraurethral Glands: Glands near the urethra that secrete fluid. They’re sometimes compared to the prostate in men. This fluid can be released when these glands are stimulated.

What Can Help Someone Squirt?

If you’re curious and want to explore the possibility of squirting, here are some tips that may help:

  1. Relax & Release Tension

    • Squirting often happens more easily when you’re not stressed out. Create a comfortable, relaxing environment, dim the lights, set the mood, and do whatever helps you feel safe and open.

  2. Stay Hydrated

    • Keeping your body hydrated can be useful, especially since squirting can involve fluid from the bladder. Drinking water throughout the day (not right before bed!) may assist in the process.

  3. Stimulate the G-Spot (or A-Spot)

    • Squirting is often linked to G-spot stimulation, which is a couple inches inside the vaginal canal on the upper wall. Some people also mention the A-spot (further back along the upper wall). Slow, rhythmic pressure or a come-hither motion might help trigger squirting.
    • Bonus: Use lube or plenty of natural lubrication to keep things comfy, if needed.

  4. Be Open to Sensation

    • Many folks say they feel like they “need to pee” right before squirting. Try not to tense up or dash to the bathroom. Provided you’ve emptied your bladder recently, it’s likely a sign squirting may be near.

  5. Communication & Experimentation

    • If you’re with a partner, talk about it! Explain what you’re feeling, what you want to try, and ask for feedback. Their curiosity and patience can make a big difference.

Does It Really Matter?

Ultimately, your body’s going to do what it’s going to do. Whether you squirt a river, a trickle, or never produce a drop, it’s all normal and valid. If squirting adds a fun dimension to your intimacy, embrace it! If you’ve never squirted and don’t really care, that’s cool, too. There’s no gold star for achieving or avoiding it.

  • Comfort & Communication: If you or a partner notices squirting, talk about it! Some find it pleasurable. Others might be self-conscious. Having open, positive conversations can help ease any worries or misconceptions.
  • Explore or Ignore—Your Call: Feeling curious? Try different stimulation techniques or positions to see what your body responds to. And if squirting just isn’t on your radar, no stress. Everyone’s body is different.

 

While squirting shares some similarities with pee (they both come out of the urethra, might contain traces of urine), it’s not purely urine. The Skene’s glands are very much in play, making this fluid a unique blend. The choice is yours on how (or if) you incorporate squirting into your sexual repertoire.
