Okay.
I have become aware that one of my friends claims to be a squirter*.
Based on conversations with her partner, this appears to involve prodigious amounts of urine being dumped on her partner.
Urine, of course, is hot, smells like urine, and stains sheets yellow.
Another friend claims that squirting pretty much means discharging fluid from the Skene’s or Bartholin’s gland.
In conventional usage, which definition is correct?
Would most Americans that are familiar with the notion identify my friend’s urinating on her partner as squirting, or would they notionally ascribe it to stress incontinence or the like?
Appendix:
If you’ve got no notion of what I mean by squirting, feel free to hit wikipedia for ‘female ejaculation’ and read up.
Why this is in GQ:
I’m asking what the consensus or majority opinion is. While opinions aren’t GQ, statistics related to opions are GQ.
I’m really asking this as a matter of vocabulary choice, not as a matter of science.
I know that in some cases alleged squirting involves clear fluid. In this case it doesn’t.
What do we normally call that?
Some women squirting urine does not imply all women who squirt are squirting urine. Similarly, some women squirting ejaculate which is not urine does not imply that no women squirt urine.
With that in mind, I’d be willing to use the term for either case. I think an issue is that some will only be willing to use it for one case, and may deny the existence of the other case.
Dr. Dean Edell, on the radio, discussed this a bit. As one might expect, he received a few calls disagreeing with his stance. His view was that it pretty much had to be urine, as, otherwise, large amounts of fluid would be produced either by an organ no one had ever discovered (which, given the number of dissections of cadavers practiced in history seems wholly unlikely) or else by a means and mechanism no one had discovered yet – which is, at least, not impossible, but also unlikely.
I once had 4 ounces of the fluid in a clear Pyrex measuring cup. (30+ years of marriage can result in some interesting bedroom sessions:D) This made examining it much easier than the remains of it from my hands or face.
It’s perfectly clear. No tint of yellow what so ever.
It doesn’t smell like urine.
It doesn’t taste like urine.
It doesn’t feel like urine (it has a thicker consistency to it).
It is NOT urine.
I don’t believe it is a form of vaginal lubrication either as it really isn’t all that slippery.
I congratulate you, and profusely, that you are still having any contact at all with your wife’s vagina after 30 years.
If this was a visual media, I’d be busy bowing to you like you were King Pimp Samurai of all creation.
I agree with pkbites, not that I’ve collected mine, but I always have to pee after sex, whether I’ve done that ejaculate thing or not. I would think that if I had urinated a prodigious amount during sex, I would not have a full bladder after. Plus, sheets and towels and comforters and things that get wet, don’t smell.
I’ve personally encountered BOTH varieties of ‘girl makes bed very wet’.
I’m trying to figure out if ‘girl pees a lot on bed’ is something that ‘most people’ would consider squirting.
I agree on all four counts.I have been soaked head to toe in the stuff more than once,as well as urine. I can tell the difference.It is definately not urine.
Still, the sheer volume of the ejaculate would necessitate some temporary storage container, wouldn’t it? I mean, this gland can’t be filtering blood plasma in giant squirts and gulps, can it? How big is this gland? Is the ejaculate stored in the bladder prior to ejaculation? This is GQ, dammit, I want some answers!
In my experience, the stuff starts out at body temperature, but cools off strangely quickly. pkbites, did you notice if it lost its heat faster than an equivalent sample of urine? What would be the chemical implications?
