Female ejaculation is a topic that is often shrouded in mystery, with many myths and misconceptions surrounding it. In this post, we will be exploring the science behind female ejaculation and what we know about it in a straightforward and judgement-free manner.
Understanding Female Ejaculate and Squirting
Female ejaculation and squirting are two different types of fluids that can be produced during sexual activity. Female ejaculate is similar to male ejaculate, with a chemical composition that is different from urine. It is produced by the Skene’s glands, which are located beneath the urethra and extend over the anterior vaginal wall. The amount of ejaculate produced is usually around 1 ml and has been described as looking like a milky, fat-free liquid.
Squirting, on the other hand, is a gush of fluid from the urethra that can be up to 3 ounces in volume. The chemical composition of squirted fluid is also different from urine and has more similar characteristics to prostatic fluid.

Debunking Myths Around Female Ejaculation
One of the most persistent myths surrounding female ejaculation is that it is a sign of sexual satisfaction. However, studies have shown that there is no difference in sexual satisfaction between those who squirt and those who don’t. Ejaculation and squirting are just two types of fluids that can be produced during sexual activity, and their presence does not necessarily indicate any particular level of sexual pleasure.
Another common myth is that squirting is just urine. While squirting occurs through the urethra, it has been shown to have chemical differences from urine, both in terms of its composition and its onset. Squirting is not just an involuntary release of urine, but rather a specific physiological process that can occur during sexual activity.
The Science Behind Female Ejaculation
Studies have been conducted on the chemical composition of female ejaculate and squirted fluid. Voided urine, squirted fluid, and ejaculate all have different chemical compositions. Women who squirt often also have some female ejaculate, which has similar factors to diluted urine.
Furthermore, studies have found that the ejaculate contains prostate-specific antigen (PSA), which is only produced by prostatic tissue in males. When Skene’s glands are subjected to a biopsy, they light up under a microscope in a manner similar to prostatic glands.

Conclusion:
The topic of female ejaculation can be confusing and often shrouded in shame or misconceptions. However, we hope that this post has provided some clarity on the biology and science behind it. Remember that women can produce different types of fluids during intercourse, and lack of lubrication doesn’t necessarily imply lack of arousal. The important thing is to feel comfortable and confident with your body and to enjoy sexual activity in a way that feels good to you.

Hi Doctor,
I am a PhD student in Germany. Big fan of your content.
I read recently that performing oral sex(cunnilingus) on a woman can lead to transmission of HPV virus, which in turn may lead to throat cancer and other nasty stuff. My question is this: Can a woman who has herself tested negative for HPV still transmit HPV? Dont you think its a good idea to make a video on the harmful effect of “cunnilingus”, for men and women alike, ie for anybody getting down on their women?
Cheers from Germany,
Abhi

Thanks for the suggestion. Tests are never 100% so if you’re not sure use a dental dam.
