@joerogan squirting really just pee? Yes and no. Studies have found the squirt is a mixture of substances, largely composed of the same components as urine: urea, creatine, and uric acid. But is not only urine. Squirts contain vaginal lubricant, as well as liquid from the Skene’s glands.
@MsMelChen@joerogan Thread: The squirt, and the recognition of its difference from female ejaculation, can be dated back to ancient times. A fourth century Taoist text, Secret Instructions Concerning the Jade Chamber, refers to the squirt as “the genital transmitting fluid,”
@MsMelChen@joerogan Additionally, the Skene’s glands serve a functional purpose that may explain why people with vulvas squirt: to prevent urinary tract infections. The liquid secreted by the Skene’s glands is antimicrobial, meaning it kills microorganisms.
@MsMelChen@joerogan Squirts also contain vaginal lubricant, as well as liquid from glands called the Skene’s glands. The Skene’s glands, homologous glands to the prostate, work to secret liquid that lubricates the urethral opening.
@MsMelChen@joerogan So is a squirt really just pee? Yes and no. Studies have found the squirt is a mixture of substances, largely composed of the same components as urine: urea, creatine, and uric acid. However, it is not only urine.
@MsMelChen@joerogan Squirting occurs when female erectile tissue surrounding the urethra contracts, which results in the release of fluid. And it doesn’t need to come from an orgasm either. Squirting occurs during arousal, and can result either before, after, during, or even without orgasm.
@MsMelChen@joerogan Whereas vaginal fluids are specifically distinguished with the term “slippery vagina.”
And as the Taoist texts correctly explain, squirting isn’t really vaginal ejaculation or urination. In fact, a squirt doesn’t even come from the vagina: it comes from the urethra
