You just need a urethra. Your urethra is a tube that allows urine to pass out of the body. Ejaculation occurs when fluid — not necessarily urine — is expelled from your urethral opening during sexual arousal or orgasm. Surprisingly so! Although the exact numbers are difficult to nail down, small studies and surveys have helped researchers get a sense of just how diverse female ejaculation can be. About 33 people 14 percent said that they experienced ejaculation with all or most orgasms. The most recent cross-sectional study on female ejaculation followed women age 18 to 39 from to The researchers concluded that a whopping Although many people use the terms interchangeably, some research suggests that ejaculating and squirting are two different things.

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. I mopped up the rug, then had a google. In the 17th Century, Dutch anatomist Regnier de Graaf wrote a groundbreaking treatise, Concerning The Generative Organs Of Women, describing the fluid and linking it to an erogenous zone inside the vagina that was much like male prostate. This broad spectrum of findings is partly due to differences in how studies are conducted and definitions; but many specialists view female ejaculation and squirting as distinctly different things. One of the biggest questions surrounding squirting is whether the mysterious fluid produced is simply urine.

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. In this article, we look at the current thinking on the mechanisms, purpose, and frequency of female ejaculation. The urethra is the duct that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. Analysis has shown that the fluid contains prostatic acid phosphatase PSA. PSA is an enzyme present in male semen that helps sperm motility. In addition, female ejaculate usually contains fructose, which is a form of sugar. Fructose is also generally present in male semen where it acts as an energy source for sperm. Researchers believe that stimulation causes these glands to produce PSA and fructose, which then move into the urethra.
