Squirting - What Is It?
Blog | Squirting – What Is It? | Sacred Seeker
Squirting during sex is real – and not only in porn! Whether or not you’ve squirted before (it’s ok if not – most women haven’t), you’re probably wondering what the heck squirting is and how you can experience it more often.
Squirting, as a topic, is a little taboo in our culture. It’s misunderstood, and thanks to porn, most people chalk it up to an especially skilled sexual partner or completely make believe, rather than a skill you can explore and practice on your own.
Because there are so many misconceptions, we want to illuminate what’s fact and what’s fiction (and what we still don’t know!) about squirting.
What The Research Says About Squirting
There’s no shortage of scientific research done on male orgasms and ejaculation. We know just about everything there is to know about when it happens, how it happens, and why it happens. Unfortunately, the same isn’t true for females. A small amount of research has been done on squirting, but the results are conflicting, and most studies are so small that the results are not totally reliable. Here’s what we do know based on the research we have:- Squirting is independent of orgasm. A common misconception is that squirting is just a powerful orgasm – but this isn’t true. Some women squirt and orgasm simultaneously, but squirting and orgasm are two different physiological functions.
- Squirting happens via the urethra. The squirting fluid comes out of the urethra (not the vagina). There’s no conclusive research (yet) on how the fluid is produced, but we know that is unique to the squirting process.
- Squirting is not peeing. Another misconception is that squirting is simply peeing during sex. This is a reductive explanation of a female body function that is misunderstood. The squirting fluid is clear, orderless, and distinct from concentrated pee.
Can All Women Squirt?
Physiologically, yes. Every woman has the ability to squirt. However, many women cannot squirt without deeply reconnecting with their emotions and bodies and feeling safe, cared for, and open. Here’s the good news: if you’re willing to journey into yourself, explore your relationship with your body and sexuality, and experiment, then it’s incredibly likely you’ll discover how to squirt. This journey is necessary for so many women because of the cultural beliefs and ancestral beliefs that increase shame and disconnection for women. In addition, we each have our unique history of being in relationship with our body. Consciously and unconsciously, many of us carry trauma and shame that prevent us from feeling totally free, open, and safe with our sexuality and with our partners.Start Your Squirting Journey
For centuries, women have been taught that their bodies are not sexual. We’ve been culturally shamed for embracing our sexuality and learned at an early age to suppress our desires. Because of this, many women have to repair and reestablish their relationship with their bodies before they can squirt. That’s where we come in. We want to help you reconnect with yourself and explore your body. The Seeker is a tool designed to do just that.
