The wait is finally over. This topic has kept many of us up at night. Dr. Samuel Salama, along with his colleague Dr. Pierre Deveaux, conducted a study in the sexology literature that answers a question that is sure to spark much debate…and yes, urine is involved, too.
A squirter is a woman who releases large amounts of bodily fluids, usually during orgasm. “There is little research on this topic, and results may be contradictory. The term “female ejaculation” has been used to describe squirters, as compared to male ejaculation. However, we know that women have a prostate gland known as Skene’s gland, which weighs between 2 and 5 grams, while a man’s prostate weighs about 30 grams. It is impossible for such a small organ to release up to 250 ml of fluid.” explains Samuel Salamaa Paris-based gynecologist, obstetrician and andrologist.
So where does this liquid come from?
To investigate this phenomenon, Dr. Salama A small group of urinators were asked to urinate into a bottle. After collecting the urine, an ultrasound was performed to confirm that the bladder was empty. Dr. Salama then told them to perform sexual stimulation themselves. After a few minutes, their bladders were found to be full again. When Dr. Salama analyzed the mysterious ejected fluid, he discovered that it contained urea, creatinine, and uric acid, just like urine. So this large amount of liquid is indeed urine.
According to Dr. SalamaIn the observation of 2 types of squitters. On the other hand, there are also things that “depend”.They release this fluid only by directly stimulating the vaginal lining (the G-spot or the clitoris-urethra-prostate-vaginal complex). Stimulating this area brings women pleasure in being liberated. If her bladder is full, this purely mechanical operation causes urine to be expelled as a sort of side effect.“
Then there is a second category of squitters known as “autonomous.”The phenomenon in this case is more intellectual. This is rare and can be caused by any type of sexual stimulation. There is an area in the frontal lobe of the brain dedicated to urination, which is known to depend on social learning. As children, we have all been taught to pee only in the toilet. Right next to this is the social administration area. However, in order to fully experience orgasm, women need to deactivate this area, and it is thought that this inhibition also extends to the adjacent area dedicated to urination.“
Social and psychological effects
The study of squirting phenomena is not limited to physiological aspects. There are also significant social and psychological impacts. Taboos and myths about female ejaculation can create feelings of shame and confusion for the women involved. Better scientific understanding and increased awareness can help normalize this experience and help women feel more comfortable about their bodies.
The men and partners of these women can also benefit from this knowledge, developing a more empathetic and informed understanding. This can improve communication and sexual satisfaction in relationships, contributing to a more harmonious and respectful partnership.
Ultimately, the study of squirting by Dr. Salama and his colleagues paves the way for a new understanding of female sexual response. This encourages broader consideration of the diversity of human experience, emphasizing the importance of accepting and respecting individual differences.
