There are certain sex acts that have developed a sort of cult following, and squirting is one of them. And squirting often goes hand-in-hand with female orgasm, which is one of the reasons your partner might be into it, too. Pun not intended. We'll get there very soon, but first, there's something you should know. When some people with a vulva are sufficiently aroused, they're able to "squirt" a clear-ish liquid through their urethra—kinda like how people with a penis are able to ejaculate, except in this case, the process has nothing to do with reproduction.

You just need a urethra. Your urethra is a tube that allows urine to pass out of the body. Ejaculation occurs when fluid — not necessarily urine — is expelled from your urethral opening during sexual arousal or orgasm.

Squirting is a form of ejaculation where a white-ish or clear fluid is released from the vulva during sexual pleasure or orgasm. There is some debate about what squirt is and where exactly this fluid comes from, as well as if all women can squirt. It's generally believed to be fluid released from the Skene's glands, a set of glands located near the urethral sponge, when the surrounding erectile tissue is stimulated. It's also possible that squirting is released through the urethra itself.
