If you have watched your fair share of porn videos, then you have seen that female squirting is the sign of sexual climax, and that ability to make a woman squirt is an indication of sexual prowess. As a result, porn studios rake in big bucks from making squirting videos as they sell exceptionally well.
Dr Jen thank you for the objective well organized information. I am a physician and avid orgasm enthusiast. I have met a few women over the years who “squirt” with orgasm. Several of these women were Tantra practitioners (see amrita). I did find it interesting how sweet the ejected urine was despite no history of diabetes. I am unaware of any ducts joining the short female urethra only the Skene’s ducts near the meatus. An interesting follow up study would be to measure serum & urine glucose levels in squirters or to determine if the sympathetic autonomic response of orgasm causes a transient hyperglycemic state. Elevated GFR with vigorus sex could account for the rapid filling of the bladder. In any case, my sexual partners who “ejaculate” do seem to be having very intense orgasms with the associated involuntary pelvic floor muscular contractions. Thanks again for your rational discussion and approach.
However, and this is anecdotal of course but I’m curious, people who squirt (and their partners) can tell you that extremely close examination of “squirted” fluid s the difference between it and normal urine extremely clear–literally. The “ejaculate” (or sexually-stimulated urine, whatever) is markedly different in color, smell, and taste than urine examined immediately before or after the “squirt” has occurred. I mean “examined” in the layman’s sense. “Female ejaculate” is almost always clear, smells far more like other sexual fluids rather than ammonia/urine (in fact it does not smell of urine any more than semen does, which is to say, very slightly), and so on. Which is why the debate has raged for so long. If it smelled, looked and tasted like urine, no one would have ever thought of it as a different substance.
So what could be going on in those bladders during sex? You mention the study found that empty bladders filled “remarkably fast”, which is the experience of women who “squirt”: even after peeing directly before sex, the pressure of “ejaculate” builds in precisely the same way the pressure of semen does. It can, if not released, create an uncomfortable or painful feeling of “blue balls”, despite there not being a large amount of actual urine released when they go to the toilet to urinate (non sexually). Is this pressure just a result of the pelvic tissues engorging and the pelvic floor muscles flexing during sexual response? Why are their bladders “filling quickly”, what does “quickly” mean in this case, and what would cause such a response? Really interested in any speculation you might have.
