How to Make Yourself Squirt

Squirting is real. It happens when a clear or milky fluid comes out through the urethra during sexual play. Not everyone experiences it. But some do, and many say it feels intense and freeing. If you're curious about how to make yourself squirt, you're not alone.

What Is Squirting?

Squirting is the release of a noticeable amount of fluid from the urethra. It often happens during G-spot stimulation. Some people experience it during orgasm. Others feel it before or even after orgasm. Sometimes it feels like a strong wave. Sometimes it's a slow stream or a gush.

The fluid usually comes from the bladder. Some studies also show that Skene's glands—also called the female prostate—can add a small amount of milky-white fluid. Squirting and female ejaculation are often used interchangeably, but they are not always the same.

What Does the Fluid Contain?

The fluid released during squirting shares some elements with urine, like urea and creatinine. But it often also contains prostate-specific antigens (PSAs). These come from the Skene's glands. The result is a liquid that's similar to diluted urine but not exactly the same.

Many people who squirt say the fluid does not smell or feel like urine. Some describe it as neutral or sweet. Some say they do not notice any odor at all.

Who Can Squirt?

People with vaginas and urethras can squirt. But not everyone will. Some bodies are more sensitive to the G-spot or bladder pressure. Some have smaller Skene's glands or none at all. Others need specific kinds of stimulation.

About half of adult women report having squirted at least once, according to a 2024 research. That doesn't mean it happens every time. It's also not a requirement for a satisfying sex life.

Squirting vs. Ejaculation vs. Incontinence

These three things are different. But they all involve fluid.

• Squirting is the release of a larger amount of clear or slightly milky fluid. It often feels intense and is linked to the bladder.
• Female ejaculation refers to a small amount of white or cloudy liquid from the Skene's glands. It contains PSAs.
• Sexual incontinence is the accidental release of urine during sex. It may happen with sudden movements or pressure.

All three are normal. Understanding them helps reduce shame or confusion.

How to Prepare for Squirting

• Drink enough water earlier in the day. This supports blood flow and may increase natural lubrication. It also makes it easier for the bladder to release fluid if it needs to.
• Go to the bathroom before you start. This reduces the pressure inside and removes the fear of peeing during sex. Feeling safe and clean helps you relax.
• If you're using fingers, keep nails short. Use water-based or silicone-based lubricant. This prevents irritation and allows smoother movement.
• Lay down towels or use a waterproof blanket. Choose a position that lets you relax. Dim lights or quiet music can help set a calm mood.

Getting Started with Solo Practice

Many people find it easier to try squirting during solo play. You can take your time and focus on what you feel.

• Step 1: Relax and Get Aroused. Start with what usually turns you on. Touch your clitoris or breasts, or think about a fantasy. Getting aroused helps blood flow to the urethral sponge. That soft tissue becomes firm and easier to feel.
• Step 2: Find the G-Spot. Insert one or two fingers into the vagina. Aim toward the belly button. About 1 to 2 inches inside, you'll find a slightly rough or ridged area. That is the G-spot.

Use a "come-hither" motion with your fingers. Press slowly and firmly. Keep a steady rhythm. The pressure may feel strange at first. Some people describe a need to pee. That usually means you're on the right track.

Step 3: Add Clitoral Stimulation. Touching the clitoris while stimulating the G-spot increases arousal. This helps build the pressure that may lead to squirting. Some people use a vibrator. Others use their free hand.

Step 4: Push Instead of Squeeze. As you approach orgasm or feel pressure, try pushing gently. Many people are used to pulling in or tightening during climax. For squirting, it's better to push out slightly. Think about relaxing your belly and pelvic floor.

Step 5: Watch for Signs. You may feel heat, fullness, or pulsing. The fluid might release in one gush or in spurts. You might not even notice until you see a wet spot beneath you.

If nothing happens, it's okay. Take a break. Try again another time. Many people need practice before it works.

Exploring Squirting During Partnered Sex

A partner can help stimulate the G-spot or apply extra pressure. Communication is key. Tell them if something feels good or uncomfortable.

• Ask your partner to use their fingers in the same "come-hither" motion. A curved toy or dildo can also work. Positions that give easy access to the front vaginal wall are helpful. Examples include missionary with a pillow under the hips or spooning.
• Blended orgasms—where clitoral, vaginal, and other zones are stimulated at the same time—often increase the chance of squirting. Some people like nipple play added in. Others prefer kissing, dirty talk, or pressure on the lower belly.
• Deeper positions like doggystyle can increase G-spot stimulation. Some people also enjoy standing sex in the shower. The warm water and easy cleanup can help remove distractions.

Common Myths About Squirting

Myth: It's always a huge gush.

Not true. It can be a drip, dribble, or small spurt.

Myth: It's pee.

It shares some chemical traits with urine but has unique features like PSAs.

Myth: Everyone can do it.

Not everybody reacts the same. Some people never squirt and still have great sex.

Myth: It's only real if you see a lot of fluid.

Sensation matters more than volume.

What If It Doesn't Happen?

You're not broken. You're not doing it wrong. Some people try for weeks or months before they squirt. Others never do. Focus on pleasure, not the goal. Feeling good is already a success.

Squirting is just one of many ways to experience sex. It can feel powerful. It can also feel messy, emotional, or confusing. All of that is normal.

Final Thoughts

Squirting is a natural response for some people with vaginas. With preparation, stimulation, and patience, you can explore it on your own or with a partner. Don't rush it. Don't pressure yourself. And don't compare your body to anyone else's.

Everybody has different rhythms. Yours is worth knowing.

FAQs

Q1: What if I’m afraid squirting is just peeing?

That fear is common. Right before squirting, many people feel strong bladder pressure, which can trigger a natural urge to tighten up. This stops the release. To ease that fear, go to the bathroom before play. That alone gives many people peace of mind. While squirt fluid does contain trace elements also found in urine—like urea—it also often contains prostate-specific antigens (PSAs), which are not found in regular urine. The fluid typically looks clear and lacks a strong smell. The key is to stop judging the sensation and allow your body to react without shame.

Q2: Why can other people squirt easily, but I can’t, even after trying?

Each body is different. Some people have more responsive G-spots or larger Skene’s glands. Others need a specific angle or more intensity. Some don’t have clearly formed Skene’s glands at all. Another factor is muscle conditioning. Most people squeeze during orgasm, but squirting often involves the opposite: relaxing and gently pushing. That shift can take practice. Not squirting doesn't mean something is wrong. It simply means your body responds differently, and that’s perfectly valid.

Q3: Are there specific positions that increase the chance of squirting?

Yes. Lying on your back with a pillow under your hips helps lift the pelvis and allows better G-spot access. That’s ideal for solo play or partner fingers. Doggy style is another option, offering deeper penetration and more direct contact with the anterior vaginal wall. Spooning is gentler but effective for clitoral and G-spot combo stimulation. Some people find it easier to squirt while standing in the shower. The key is to find a position that feels safe, stable, and comfortable enough to let go.

Q4: Besides the clit and G-spot, are there other zones that help with squirting?

Yes—nipples are highly underrated. They contain hundreds of nerve endings and are connected neurologically to the same pleasure centers as the genitals. Combining nipple play with G-spot or clitoral stimulation often intensifies sensations. You can pinch, roll, or use suction toys for added arousal. Some people say nipple stimulation helps them relax and stay aroused long enough to build up the pressure that leads to squirting. Blended stimulation is often more effective than focusing on just one area.

Q5: How does squirting feel different from a “regular” orgasm?

Most orgasms feel like contractions or tight waves. Squirting, on the other hand, can feel like a deep release—more like letting go than tightening up. Some describe it as a warm burst. Others say it feels like waves pulsing out from the core. For some, it’s emotional or even overwhelming. Others barely notice it until afterward. There’s no single way it’s supposed to feel. What matters most is whether the sensation feels good to you, not whether it matches a certain image or expectation.

Q6: Is it normal to get emotional during or after squirting?

Completely normal. Some people cry, laugh, or feel unexpectedly open after squirting. The body enters a highly relaxed state, and the release may tap into emotions stored in the nervous system. This is similar to how massage or breathwork can trigger tears or euphoria. You don’t need to analyze it. You also don’t need to explain it to anyone. Just allow it. The mind and body are deeply connected during sex, and emotional responses are part of the process for many people.
