3. Squirting Is Just Peeing, Say Scientists | VICE

Squirting Is Just Peeing, Say Scientists | VICE

As a woman who is pretty tired of this whole "squirtmania" that's going on since a few years I have to admit this study is relieving for me in some ways.

I've never "squirted" and I was always under the impression from watching porn and having the feeling of having to pee during some ways of fingering that "squirting" is actually pissing and I have mentioned that freely in the past with a surprising amount of backlash. Quite a few guys were incredibly keen on making me "squirt" for god-knows-why and I always had to tell them that having an orgasm is more than enough and that I don't think women have to "squirt" to enjoy themselves.

While it's totally cool that society opens up to topics like this porn and the internet have created quite a pressuring environment in that case. "Squirting" is seen as some kind of achievement and women nowadays almost have to excuse themselves for not "squirting".

I'm glad I can put a small rest to this debate and when some guy comes along who thinks he has to prove himself by making me "squirt" I can safely point him to this study and ask if he wants a golden shower.

EDIT:

For anyone who insists that it is totally clear and odorless in contrast to urine: If you are well hydrated urine is not normally deep yellow and it also doesn't have a particularly strong smell (although that can differ quite a bit from the food you eat and from the time of the month for women).

I've yet to see a single "squirting" video that isn't completely indistinguishable from drinking a bottle of water and forcefully urinating.

Since this is the sience sub it would be cool to see some actual scientists take a closer look at the study and check its validity. I've read through it and it seems well done without pulling any punches! ( I'm not a scientist though :-D )

Here is a link to the full study for anyone wondering:

Someone once quipped that Thomas Hardy had the good fortunate to be one of the finest novelists of the 19th century and one of the finest poets of the 20th. (He concentrated on verse after the uproar over 'Jude the Obscure' in 1896.) Here's one of my favorite Hardy poems. Do you have one?
