Squirting Myths Busted: What’s Real, What’s Fake, and How to Explore It for Yourself
Squirting has been hyped as the holy grail of sex, part mystery, part magic trick, and thanks to porn, part unrealistic water show. No wonder it is one of the most searched kink categories online. According to Pornhub’s stats, “squirt” was a UK top 10 search term in 2016, and “squirting orgasm” is something women search for a lot.
But here’s the thing: despite all the attention, squirting is still wildly misunderstood and porn is not doing its reputation any favours.
💦 TL;DR
For the skimmers, the multitaskers, and the “I’ve only got three minutes before my next Zoom” crew, this is your quick-hit version of the post. No fluff, no deep dive, just the essentials so you can get the facts and get on with your day (or your play).
- Squirting isn’t peeing, different glands, different fluid.
- Porn often fakes it, but some people really can do it.
- It is not always a gush, sometimes just a few drops.
- Does not have to come with an orgasm.
- You do not need deep penetration, G-spot or targeted stimulation works best.
- Want to try at home? The Ambit and Morpheus are great body-safe options.
1. Squirting is just peeing
Nope. While the fluid does come from the urethra, it is not the same as urination. Female ejaculation comes from the Skene’s glands (also called the “female prostate”) and has a texture and chemical makeup closer to semen, minus the sperm. Squirting, or gushing, is usually a larger amount of clear, water-like fluid.
And no, it does not smell or taste like wee. The “ew, gross” stigma is pure nonsense, especially ironic when it is also fetishised as the ultimate turn-on.
2. All squirting in porn is real
Hate to break it to you, but a lot of porn squirting is just very strategic urination. Performers might overhydrate or even insert water beforehand, then push it out on cue. Looks great on camera, not exactly a natural depiction.
3. Everything in porn is fake
Not quite. Some people do naturally squirt on camera, especially in amateur or authentic content. But because staged scenes dominate, it is easy to assume it is all smoke and mirrors.
4. It is always a dramatic gush
Sometimes squirting is a Hollywood-style fountain. Sometimes it is a few drops you barely notice. You might have done it without even realising, especially if you are mixing fluids with a partner’s cum.
5. Squirting equals orgasm
Not always. It can happen mid-play, with or without climax. It might feel like a massive release, but it does not have to be the grand finale.
6. You need deep penetration to squirt
Every body is different. Some people respond to G-spot pressure, some to external play, some to toys, fingers, or a combo. A massive cock is not the magic key, targeted stimulation is.
Curious to try at home?
If you are curious to experiment at home, start with toys designed to give you the right angle and pressure without overwhelming you. The Ambit is a curved G-spot dildo that makes it easy to hit that sweet spot, while the Morpheus offers a slimmer profile if you want to explore more gently. Both are hand-poured in body-safe silicone, they feel as good as they look, and they are perfect for building up to those “did I just do that?” moments.
The takeaway
Real squirting is not about pressure to perform or hitting a mythical milestone. It is just another way your body might express pleasure. Forget the staged fountains and lean into what feels good for you.
So whether you are using fingers, a partner, or a gorgeous bit of silicone like the Ambit or Morpheus, remember: pleasure without pressure. Always.
