During sexual arousal or orgasm, some women report ejecting a considerable amount of liquid.

Dr. Samuel Salama among other researchers set out to analyze and explain this phenomenon. Their goal was to gain an understanding of the bodily processes that allowed the sudden discharge of fluid, the origin of the liquid, and its composition. The seven women who were observed in this study reported frequently discharging large amounts of the liquid during the event, averaging about a glass-full. The type of research method used to approach this matter was a clinical research also known as a case study. The participants of the study were all women who had been referred by their physician, who had knowledge of their condition. The women studied were 19 to 52 years old with an average of 32 years.

All women had similar results of a quickly filling bladder during arousal and a complete emptiness of the bladder during or after orgasm. The liquid that was discharged had a similar composition of that of the urine samples that were taken before the study when the women were asked to empty their bladder. It is concluded that “squirting” is essentially an involuntary expulsion of urine during or after an
