Understanding male squirting
Male squirter, female squirter, male squirting… Not sure what any of this means? Don't worry: let's decode these terms together.
First of all, a male or female squirter is a person capable of squirting.
Squirt is an English term meaning "jet" or "spurt". More concretely, it refers to the emission by the human genitals of a whitish or transparent liquid substance. Squirting refers more specifically to the sexual practice or set of methods that enable the emission of this very special substance. But before going further, here is an important clarification: the fluid emitted is not semen. And it is not a penile orgasm of the kind you are used to.
Rest assured, the squirter — male or female — can still experience intense pleasure during this experience!
Let's continue our exploration with female squirting, which is hugely popular online.

Female squirting widely studied
Female squirting has been analysed on numerous occasions by journalists and scientists. The proof: it is estimated that 5% to 40% of women have already experienced squirting. The reason for such a wide range? The exact percentage varies due to the many studies published…
However, it is important to emphasise that every woman has this potential within her. Success depends on mastering the techniques and understanding the psychological dimension.
In some women, once orgasm is reached, a bladder contraction can occur, causing a significant flow. Although the substance expelled comes from the urinary system, its composition remains a subject of debate within the scientific community.
As 20minutes explains, the fluid expelled by female squirters comes from a secretion of the so-called Skene's glands. These glands release between one and two millilitres of this substance, which mixes with urine.
So, this fluid is not quite urine in women, but the reasons for this difference remain unclear.
When it comes to male squirters, more in-depth research online is needed.
A subject neglected by the press
And indeed, it is rare for journalists to address this subject. Unlike female ejaculation, for example, which receives significant media coverage, the male squirter remains in the shadows.
It is only online, often on specialist platforms or forums, that certain information can be found.
Science breaks its silence with a landmark study
Fortunately, science seems ready to fill this media gap with this study conducted in Japan in 2018. Doctors inserted an ultrasound probe into the rectum of a volunteer who claimed to be able to squirt easily.
"An ultrasound revealed a strong prostatic contraction and pelvic muscles just before squirting. Then the jet passed from the urinary bladder to the prostatic urethra."
This is historic! This study documents for the first time the real existence of squirting in men.
While the composition of the fluid emitted by female squirters is still debated, it is clearly established that the substance expelled by men is indeed urine!
Mystery solved at last — thank you, science!
The role of the prostate
Fortunately, scientists have finally decided to lift the veil on this mystery!
But where does this substance come from? The prostate is a distinctive feature of male anatomy. This gland, roughly the size of a ping-pong ball, is located in men at the front of the rectum.
During sexual stimulation, it plays a key role, triggering this very special ejaculation as observed in the Japanese study.
Becoming a male squirter
Online, users share their experiences.
Is it a sense of all-powerfulness linked to the emission of this fluid, a simple desire for pleasure, or an overwhelming urge to explore one's body?
Squirting enthusiasts are divided on these questions. Opinions actually depend on each person's personality. Some have even learned this technique out of curiosity and to emulate women, who have held this ability alone for too long.
Now let's move on to the practical side.
Users online share their tips!
Warning: squirting involves a set of techniques that are difficult to master and not without risk. This experience should never be painful. If your penis starts to feel irritated, stop immediately.
As confirmed by numerous online testimonials, several months of practice are needed before achieving it.
First tip: master a new masturbation technique
Want to squirt? Focus on your glans by massaging it with a circular motion. The pressure applied by the palm should be firm, without causing pain of course. With this stimulation, you will gradually feel an urge and a growing sensation of needing to urinate. But don't stop the stimulation, even if this sensation feels unfamiliar. When the urge becomes too intense, let go and squirt!
Second tip: practise after ejaculation
Some users online claim that squirting is easier after ejaculation. It's hard to say exactly why. Our hypothesis: ejaculation may lead to a state of muscular and mental relaxation, reduce tension and make certain erogenous zones of the body more sensitive. All these factors make the squirting experience easier.
Third tip: lubricate the area well
It is also recommended to lubricate the fingers and the glans well just before ejaculation. The lubricant makes the circular movements of the palm of the hand over the penis easier and prevents irritation.
Fourth tip: use a sex toy
Another tip is to use a sex toy. While it is possible to squirt using your hands, this technique is harder to master. Few men manage it.
Various methods, including the use of a masturbator, are suggested by users online.
The sexologist's view
Pierrick Fournier
Sexologist – Couples therapist
In my consultations, I regularly meet men who wonder whether they should be able to experience this or that sexual experience. Yet a fulfilling sex life is not measured by the number of practices one tries, but by the quality of what one lives. The phenomenon of the male squirter may spark curiosity, and there is nothing stopping you from exploring it if the desire is there. However, it should never become a goal to achieve or a benchmark for sexual success. In my view, a satisfying sex life is above all one that leaves room for discovery, pleasure and connection, without turning every new experience into another performance.
As a couple, it's possible too
Alternatively, it is possible — and even recommended — to explore squirting together with your partner.
Some women excel in the art of using their tongue. These experts make circular movements with this organ while applying pressure on the glans and simultaneously stimulating their partner's penis. An absolute delight!
With grace and skill, they finally achieve their goal, bringing their partner to squirt.
What does squirting feel like?
According to those in the know, an uncontrollable urge to urinate washes over you, reaching its peak at the moment of "squirting". This sensation, which is completely normal, precedes the emission of a significant quantity of fluid. You then experience a truly unique pleasure.
As pleasurable as an orgasm?
However, as mentioned previously, squirting is not the same as an orgasm.
Even if it can be a source of pleasure, the sensations it produces differ considerably from those associated with ejaculatory orgasm.
Whatever the case, take note: squirting is a technique that is difficult to master!
Zero risk?
Online accounts report a decrease in penile sensitivity, ejaculation, or even libido after practising this technique.
There's no need to dramatise — the risks are mainly associated with inappropriate or overly intense stimulation, not the practice itself. However, it is advisable to stop any stimulation if you experience discomfort or penile irritation.
What about cleanliness?
One last tip: it is recommended to practise in an environment that is easy to clean, such as a bathroom, or to use a sheet you don't mind staining.
And yes, the flow generated by the jet can be impressive in terms of volume!
Key takeaways on the male squirter
In conclusion, male squirting remains little known and deserves to be better understood. It is important to move beyond preconceived ideas and recognise that male sexuality is just as varied as that of women.
Without reliable information, the internet can sometimes spread content that is, shall we say… inaccurate or misinterpreted! This practice is increasingly discussed online, but it requires caution. Some accounts report a temporary decrease in sensitivity or even difficulties getting an erection, generally following overly intense stimulation.
In any case, the key is to go gradually and to stay attuned to your sensations. Do you want to become a male squirter? Safety comes first!
