When people talk about ejaculation, most minds instantly go to men. But did you know that some women also release a fluid during intense sexual pleasure? It’s real, it’s natural, and it deserves more attention. Female ejaculation — often misunderstood and surrounded by myths — is one of the most intriguing and sensual experiences a woman can have. In this article, we’ll explore what female ejaculation (a.k.a. “female semen”) actually is, how it happens, what makes it different from squirting, and how you can explore this with your partner.
What Is Female Ejaculation?
Female ejaculation refers to the release of a thick, milky-like fluid from a woman’s urethra during or just before orgasm. This fluid is not the same as male semen (which contains sperm), but it shares some similarities. It’s produced by the Skene’s glands — often called the “female prostate” — and typically appears during G-spot stimulation or intense sexual arousal.
The idea that women can “ejaculate” might sound surprising, especially since it’s rarely talked about openly. But studies and real-life experiences prove this erotic event is more common than most people realize.
How Female Ejaculation Happens in the Female Body
The female urethra isn’t just a tube for urine — it also plays a role in erotic release. During sexual arousal, the Skene’s glands, located around the urethra, can produce fluid that builds up and eventually squirts or leaks out. This fluid is usually rich in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) — two key compounds also found in male semen.
This isn’t the same as vaginal lubrication. While natural lube from the vagina is thin and slippery to ease penetration, female ejaculate is usually thicker, creamier, and has its own unique texture and taste. Some women describe it as slightly sweet or musky.
Does Every Woman Experience Ejaculation?
No — and that’s perfectly okay. Every woman’s body is different. Some women ejaculate frequently, some only occasionally, and some never do. It doesn’t mean your orgasms are any less real or powerful.
Research suggests that somewhere between 10% to 54% of women have experienced female ejaculation. One large survey found that nearly 7 in 10 women aged 18–39 had experienced some form of ejaculation at least once in their lives.
So if you’ve never experienced it — don’t stress. If you have — enjoy it! And if you’re curious — there are ways to explore it safely and sexily.
The Difference Between Female Ejaculation and Squirting
Let’s clear up the confusion: female ejaculation and squirting are not the same thing.
Squirting usually involves a sudden gush of clear fluid from the urethra, often during intense G-spot stimulation. This fluid is much more watery and may contain traces of urine, though it’s not just pee.
Female ejaculation, on the other hand, involves a smaller amount of thicker fluid that contains PSA and PAP — compounds found in semen — but no sperm.
Many women can experience both together, separately, or not at all. And all of that is totally normal.
What Does Female Ejaculation Feel Like?
Every woman experiences it differently. For some, it feels like a stronger, deeper orgasm. For others, it might feel like a sudden release of pressure or warmth inside the vagina. Some describe it as tingling, intense, or like a mini-explosion of pleasure.
The physical sensation can range from subtle to overwhelming. Emotionally, it can be liberating, exciting, and even spiritual. The key is not to force it — let your body guide the experience.
Is Female Ejaculate the Same as Pee?
No. Female ejaculation is not the same as urination. While some components may overlap (especially in squirting), female ejaculate is chemically different. It’s thicker, often cloudy or milky, and contains enzymes that come from the Skene’s glands, not the bladder.
Some women worry they might “pee” during sex. But if what’s coming out is during intense pleasure and feels orgasmic — it’s likely something else entirely.
How to Stimulate Female Ejaculation
If you or your partner are curious about female ejaculation, the good news is — it’s totally possible to explore it with the right approach.
Here’s how:
- Focus on G-spot stimulation The G-spot is located about 2–3 inches inside the vaginal wall toward the belly button. Using fingers in a slow, firm, “come here” motion can help hit the right spot.
- Combine clitoral and G-spot play For many women, combining external and internal stimulation creates the perfect storm for a powerful orgasm — and possibly ejaculation.
- Use rhythm and pressure It’s not about speed. Apply consistent pressure, gradually increasing intensity based on her response.
- Create a safe, sexy space Let her relax fully. Many women need to feel emotionally safe before letting go enough to squirt or ejaculate.
- Try different positions Positions like doggy style, missionary with legs lifted, or even using toys can add pressure to the G-spot area.
- Practice and patience Don’t expect results overnight. Explore, communicate, and enjoy the journey.
Understanding the G-Spot: Pleasure Zone or Myth?
The G-spot is a sensitive zone located in the front vaginal wall. It’s often linked to deeper, more powerful orgasms — and sometimes to ejaculation.
Some researchers believe the G-spot is simply part of the internal clitoris, while others argue it’s a unique area altogether. Science aside, what matters most is how it feels for her. If G-spot play lights her up — go with it!
Myths About Female Ejaculation You Should Stop Believing
Let’s bust some common myths:
- Myth: Every woman can squirt. Truth: Not every woman ejaculates, and that’s totally fine.
- Myth: Squirting is the same as female ejaculation. Truth: They’re different fluids, with different compositions and sensations.
- Myth: Female ejaculate is pee. Truth: It’s not. While squirting may include traces of urine, female ejaculation is a separate, natural fluid.
- Myth: Ejaculation means better orgasms. Truth: It’s not a measurement of pleasure — just one way the body can respond.
Helping Your Partner Experience It
Want to help your partner explore her ejaculatory potential? The biggest turn-on is communication.
Ask her what feels good. Pay attention to her body. Try new things, experiment with rhythm and technique, and don’t make her feel pressured to perform.
Make it playful. Make it passionate. Let her take control or surrender — whichever brings out her deepest pleasure.
A Beautiful, Natural Part of Female Sexuality
Female ejaculation is real, sexy, and powerful — but it’s not the goal of sex. Whether it happens or not, what truly matters is connection, communication, and confidence.
Don’t chase it like a trophy. Instead, focus on the intimacy, the passion, and the discovery. Learn her body, respect her rhythm, and celebrate every drop of pleasure that flows between you.
Because at the end of the day, great sex isn’t about reaching a certain destination. It’s about enjoying the ride, together.
