Squirting refers to fluid expelled from the vagina during orgasm. Not all people with vaginas squirt during orgasm, and those who do may only do it some of the time. This type of orgasm includes a rapid ejection of urine, along with other fluids, from the bladder.

What Is the Difference Between a Squirting Orgasm, Female Ejaculation, and Sexual Incontinence?
Studies into squirting show different results. One piece of research suggests that anywhere between 10% and 54% of women may experience female ejaculation during orgasm [3], while another study suggests that as many as 69% of women can squirt during sex [4].
Squirting is an emission of clear, watery fluid (most likely from the bladder [6]) that may happen during orgasm, or it may not [5]. Female ejaculation looks very different – it’s a smaller amount of milky fluid. This milky fluid is produced in the Skene’s gland (sometimes called the female prostate) and exits through the urethra with sexual release [3].
