Study Concludes That Women Who Squirt During Sex Are Actually Peeing

So, some scientists went and did this...

When aroused, some women may experience squirting, or a rather noticeable discharge of fluid. What it is exactly and where it comes from has been hotly debated: female ejaculation or adult bedwetting? Researchers are now saying that squirting is essentially involuntary urination.

Female ejaculate is technically the small amount of milky white fluid that’s expressed when climaxing, New Scientist explains. Squirting, on the other hand, results in a much larger gush of a clear fluid, which comes from the urethra, the duct where urine is conveyed from the bladder. The findings, which combine biochemical analyses with pelvic ultrasounds, were published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine on Christmas Eve.

A French team led by Samuel Salama from Hopital Privé de Parly II recruited seven healthy women—who’ve reported recurrent and massive fluid emission (enough to fill a cup) during sexual stimulation—to undergo “provoked sexual arousal.” The team conducted pelvic ultrasound scans after urination and during sexual excitation just before and after the squirting event.

And it's always been an item of interest to me.

Not all do, but most could, I think, have such emissions during an intense orgasm.

I figured this out about 25 years ago myself, can't believe it took this long for such a simple concept to be scientifically 'confirmed'.

However due to the involuntary nature the 'contents' are typically quite dilute i.e. not a result of concentration of 'stuff that needs to get out' ... much akin to one's 3rd or 4th pee after having drank a ton of beer.

Not to be too TMI but I've dated a few women who turned out to experience this phenomenon ... and ... let's just say the squirting ladies of the world tend to be amongst the most 'vocal' in their appreciation of the enjoyment they're experiencing as well ... and a lady's intense expression of her enjoyment is a beautiful thing
