Squirting: what your body knows how to do (and what they’ve hidden from you)

Long relegated to the realm of fantasy or misconceptions, this phenomenon actually affects a significant proportion of people with vulvas — some studies estimate that up to 54% of them have already experienced it, often without having sought it out. So no, it's not a myth, it's not reserved for the movies, and it's not a requirement, either. It is simply a possible physiological response of the body, linked to the stimulation of certain erogenous zones — the G-spot chief among them. The fluid ejected comes mainly from the Skene's glands, sometimes called the "female prostate." The result: a fascinating subject that is still poorly understood and often a source of unnecessary worry.

In other words, your body is a marvel of engineering — and it may have just been waiting for you to ask it the right questions.

Why understanding this really makes a difference

Knowing what is happening in your body — or in your partner's — is first and foremost a way to replace shame or surprise with kind curiosity. Many people have interrupted a moment of intense pleasure because they did not understand what was happening. Information, here, is directly linked to the pleasure experienced.

In a relationship context, broaching this topic also opens up a real conversation about desires and sensations. And if you explore toys designed to stimulate the G-spot — curved vibrators, pressure stimulators — understanding the anatomy allows you to choose a product that matches your reality, not a standardized fantasy. It's smart shopping, in the service of your real pleasure.

Frequently asked questions

Can everyone squirt?

No, and that is completely normal. The ability to eject fluid depends in part on individual anatomy — notably the size and activity of the Skene's glands, which vary from one person to another. The absence of this phenomenon says nothing about your level of pleasure or your "performance." The goal is having a good time — not checking off a result.

What exactly is squirting fluid?

Analyses have shown that it is a mixture: mainly diluted urine, combined with secretions from the Skene's glands (including PSA, a protein found in male semen). So it is not "just urine," contrary to a very common misconception. The composition varies from person to person and from time to time. Nothing alarming, just interesting.

Can you "learn" to squirt with a sex toy?

Let's just say a good curved vibrator or a G-spot stimulator can create the favorable conditions — targeted stimulation, progressive relaxation. But "learning" is a strong word: you can explore, discover, and have fun. At Quedulove, we have selected toys designed exactly for that — without making miracle promises, and with a great deal of focus on pleasure.
