Science Vs
Squirting: What's Really Happening?!

So even if you squished all the webby, spider webby constellations together, it'd be really small. And how much liquid do they produce, all in all? It's probably more like several mils. Perhaps a teaspoon, we're talking. And what is cool, though, is that in some cases, that ejaculate can actually come out of your urethra on its own. And so... This is what scientists now call female ejaculate.

Okay. When just what's coming out of the female prostate comes out of your urethra. But yeah, it's different from, it's like a totally different process because it's not this huge gush. So then when it comes to this question of, okay, so are we ejaculating? Is squirt a mixture of pee and ejaculate? It is sometimes, but it's not always.

So in Sam's study, he found the sexy proteins in five of the seven squirt samples, meaning two were just pee. Miyabi's study out of Japan found it in four of five squirters. Which tells you that even though this female prostate is super cool, still what is coming out of us during squirt is mostly pee.

Research shows that those who think it's pee are more likely to be embarrassed about squirting as opposed to thinking it's a positive experience. But, you know, Helen says... Screw that.

Get it in the eye. Exactly. Miyabi, our Japanese urologist, said that if you're worried about pee being dirty, there's actually more bacteria in your mouth or your vagina. But it does raise the question of if this is mostly pee, and it is, why? Why doesn't it feel like peeing? When we asked academics about this, they said one reason could be the context is so different.

I mean, you're not, you know, with peeing, you're scrolling through Instagram on the toilet. You know, in this case, you're doing something sexy. Context plays a huge role in how things feel in our body.

But it's also possible that the actual physiological process of how the liquid gets out of your body, even though it is in the bladder and it's coming out of the urethra, that what triggers that whole process is different to pain, which would be super interesting. We need to learn more. We must.

In my lifetime, I want to know. Yes. You know, we know peeing is voluntary. You know, you can hold it in. Your prefrontal cortex is like, hold it in, hold it in, let it out. Yes. Squirting for a lot of folks is involuntary. It just happens at this moment of arousal.
