1. What comes out when I squirt? Is it just pee?

People have a lot of questions about squirting, and thats understandable; even scientists are perplexed by it . First, a little bit of background: squirting occurs when fluid is expelled through the urethra the same tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body during sexual arousal or orgasm.

It is sometimes known as female ejaculation, although it can happen to anyone with a vagina. While the two terms are often used interchangeably, some experts believe squirting and female ejaculation are distinct processes . Because research on female pleasure is lacking, this is still being debated.
