- Is Squirting the Same Thing as Having an Orgasm?
- Q: Is squirting the same thing as having an orgasm? I reach orgasm when I watch porn and masturbate, but I don’t get the same feeling during partner sex — though I do squirt with my partner. Squirting just feels different than the orgasms I have when I’m alone. Is it supposed to feel like this?
- All bodies are different. Some folks find that squirting can feel like an orgasm, but for others it may not.
- How squirting happens
- For folks who do squirt, it generally results from making a “come hither” motion inside the vaginal canal with your fingers or a curved vibrator.
- If you or your partner are relying on fingers to do the trick, curling the middle and index fingers and moving them back and forth — as though you’re signaling for someone to step closer to you — is key.
- A curved vibrator naturally makes this shape, so all you have to do is insert it into the vaginal canal.
- This “come hither” movement can stimulate the G-spot, which is near the Skene’s glands. When stimulated, the Skene’s glands become engorged.
- For some folks, this can result in fluid being released — aka squirting.
- How this release of fluid feels can vary from person to person and from experience to experience.
- How solo and partner sex compare
- It’s important to consider how similar your solo sexual activity is to your partnered play.
- If you find that the types of touch or stimulation you use during masturbation are considerably different than what you and your partner do together, try to bridge this gap.
- Squirting, for example, is generally the result of penetrative stimulation, whether that’s with fingers, a sex toy, or other insertable. trans toys
- If you’re squirting with your partner but not when you’re alone — and you want to when you’re alone — I recommend practicing the “come hither” motion described above.
- If you typically engage in nonpenetrative play when you’re alone and find that you orgasm this way, I recommend that you try the same technique(s) with your partner.
- You might consider:
- How your sexual fantasies compare to your sexual reality
- If you don’t see a pattern in the solo techniques you use to orgasm, you might consider the porn or erotica that you typically use during masturbation.
- For example:
- If you find that there’s a fair amount of discrepancy between your current sexual experiences and your sexual fantasies, this could explain why you aren’t reaching orgasm with your partner.
- The best thing you can do is to have an open and honest conversation with your partner about how you’re feeling and what you would need or would like to try moving forward.
- If you find that you’re both unsure of what to do next — or that you simply want another perspective — consider reaching out to a sex therapist to talk through your concerns.
