What is squirting, and how common is it among women?

Squirting, also known as female ejaculation, is the emission of fluid from the urethra or P tube during sexual arousal or orgasm. It occurs in some women, but the exact prevalence is not well established.

What are Skene's glands, and what do they do during sexual arousal?

Skene's glands are glands located around and underneath the urethra, which are homologous to a man's prostate. During sexual arousal, these glands fill with fluid, which can be released during orgasm.

What is the role of pelvic floor muscles in squirting?

During orgasm, the pelvic floor muscles contract, putting pressure on the urethra and causing the fluid in the Skene's glands to be released, resulting in squirting.
