Haha, I agree. The subject can be a little too much sometimes.

My theory as to why the nature of the fluid is so important is that they have very different implications. I think one of the reasons men are so fascinated with squirting orgasms deals with the fact that it is seen as tangible evidence of an orgasm occurring. Women are believed to fake a lot of their orgasms. I"ve done my fair share of that. When squirting happens, however, it"s tangible proof that the woman orgasmed, just like semen is tangible evidence that the man orgasmed. If a guy gets a woman to squirt, it"s seen as a badge of honor to the thought that he satisfies his woman sexually, and with visual proof to boot.

For squirting to be attributed to urine instead of a different liquid expelled during orgasm, it takes away the proof of orgasm. The mystique is gone and it becomes merely another way women could possibly fake their orgasms.

I"ve experienced the badge of honor mentality about squirting with my ex. He felt like the king of the bedroom because he could make me squirt. Nothing could have knocked him off his throne whenever it happened. He felt he was the grand poobah by accomplishing it.

I think that"s a lot to do with it. The abandon with which a woman comes like that is quite a wonder to behold.

It"s become an issue because there are still doctors & sexologists denying its very existence, & so the argument "no, you just pissed yourself" is a very demeaning put-down for the women who"ve experienced it firsthand. Imagine if the first time you came you were told "no, the female orgasm doesn"t exist. What you had was just a fart." Or teenage boys being told "no, that"s nothing special, you just wet the bed. After all, it comes out of the same place. How dirty of you."

As to the liquid, like I said, I really don"t know where it comes from, but as I also said, it smells different (though similarly thin & mildly ammonia-like), tastes different, & is clear. So either some of the fluid from the bladder is mixed with something else (the prostate gland fluid?) or…? I don"t know. Something like that. It just is, anyway.

when one squirts, it comes out of a different . . . erm . . . . orifice.

Well yes, that"s how it appears to me too. Hard to say where the fluid could be coming from, though. Maybe what I said before is right & the carrier fluid is drawn from the bladder somehow.

Ok so now I"m curious if any of these questions have been answered decisively. Wikipedia says

Female ejaculation (commonly known as gushing, cumming or squirting[1]) refers to the expulsion of noticeable amounts of clear fluid by human females from the paraurethral ducts through and around the urethra during or before an orgasm.

The paraurethral ducts are also known as Skene"s gland,

The location of the Skene"s gland is the general area of the vulva, glands located on the anterior wall of the vagina around the lower end of the urethra. It has been postulated that the Skene"s glands are the source of female ejaculation.[2] In 2002, Emanuele Jannini of L"Aquila University in Italy showed that there may be an explanation both for the phenomenon and for the frequent denials of its existence. Skene"s glands have highly variable anatomy, and in some extreme cases they appear to be absent entirely. If Skene"s glands are the cause of female ejaculation and G-Spot-orgasms, this may explain the absence in many women.[3][4]

It has been demonstrated that a large amount of lubricating fluid (filtered blood plasma[specify]) can be secreted from this gland when stimulated from inside the vagina.[5] Some reports indicate that embarrassment regarding female ejaculation, and the mistaken notion that the substance is urine, can lead to purposeful suppression of sexual climax, leading women to seek medical advice and even undergo surgery to "stop the urine".[6]

The Skene"s glands are homologous with the prostate gland in males.[7] The fluid that emerges during sex, female ejaculation, has a composition somewhat similar to the fluid generated in males by the prostate gland,[8][9] containing biochemical markers of sexual function like human urinary protein 1[10] and the enzyme PDE5 where women without the gland had lower concentrations.[11] When examined with electron microscopy, both glands show similar secretory structures,[12] and both act similarly in terms of prostate-specific antigen and prostate-specific acid phosphatase studies.[13][14][15][16] Because they are increasingly perceived as merely different versions of the same gland, some researchers are moving away from the name Skene"s gland and are referring to it instead as the female prostate.

Crap, I didn"t want to get too far into this conversation about squirting, but the whole thing really is terribly interesting.

A couple of things: It must be very different for each woman as my experience is nothing like what others have written here. I don"t think the fluid comes from the bladder, at least not for me. (Good God I can"t believe I am going into this) I have had this happen to me while having to go to the bathroom and the feeling of having to go does not abate one bit. Also, I don"t think it comes from the urethra as it is a completely different sensation than going to the bathroom. The urethra is too small of a hole for it to gush the way it does. Also, one last thing, (ahem) not all women need G-spot stimulation for it to happen and some can control it. (At least one can ; ) )

Ok, now I am going to go try to get the red out of my cheeks now.

You are not alone my friend. It happens to me too.
