Is Squirting the Same as Cumming

Is Squirting the Same as Cumming?

Have you conducted some research on female ejaculation and found yourself confused about whether squirting and cumming refer to the same thing?

You are not alone.

Because these terms are used interchangeably, it can be hard to tell the difference between the two. But is squirting the same as cumming?

Squirting and cumming have been promoted as the ultimate end goal of the female orgasm or the height of a sexual experience.

But these two terms do not refer to the same thing.

So even if you have experienced a release of cum, that does not mean you squirted.

In this article, we are going to distinguish between these terms and also look at the difference between cum and orgasms for women.

We will also answer some other burning questions such as whether you can cum, squirt, and cream at the same time and what the difference is between squirting and creaming. 

What’s the Difference Between Cumming and Squirting? 

What Is Cumming?

The term “cumming” is a term that is most often used to refer to female ejaculation, but can also refer to a woman’s orgasm itself. “Female Cum” is used to describe the discharge that is present during female ejaculation.

Female ejaculation refers to the process when a woman experiences a sexual climax and a milky, white fluid is released.

If you are thinking female vs male cum looks the same, you are more or less correct.

Although female cum is usually much less in terms of quantity than the volume of ejaculatory fluid that men release.

It also has no reproductive or other purpose. 

Female ejaculation occurs in response to an orgasm but can be released before or after the orgasm occurs.

The female ejaculatory fluid is released through the urethral opening in the vagina. The fluid is released by the Skene’s glands or the female prostate.

It is the stimulation of these glands, via G-spot stimulation, that allows female ejaculation to occur.

So, when someone talks about cumming or female cum, they are probably referring to the scenario described above.

This process of “cumming” and the release of white fluid is also widely known as “creaming”.

But, “cumming” has also been adopted as a general term for the moment at which a female reaches her sexual climax and experiences an orgasm.

So, if a woman says she is “cumming”, she may just be indicating that she is close to approaching an orgasm.

This means that the term “cumming” can also refer to an orgasm that is not accompanied by a fluid discharge of sorts.

The important thing to note is that cumming is almost always associated with some description of an orgasm or sexual climax.

What Is Squirting?

Squirting, like cumming, also refers to the release of fluid from the vagina during intercourse. But, there are some key differences between squirting and cumming.

First of all, the liquid that is expelled from squirting is an odorless and colorless liquid that resembles urine in its appearance. It originates and builds up in the bladder and is released from the urethra during sex.

But, squirting can also occur in the absence of an orgasm.

Unlike female cumming, squirting does not occur in response to orgasm but may take place during other stages of the arousal process as well.

In addition, squirting is often closely associated with G-spot stimulation and the liquid that is released is often in larger quantities than the liquid released during the process of female ejaculation.

With cumming or female ejaculation, there will be a little bit of discharge that gets released.

But with squirting, larger volumes of liquid get released and it is often enough to wet the entire bed.

For this reason, there exists some confusion regarding whether squirting is actually urinating.

The sensation woman experience when they are about to squirt also resembles the feeling of needing to urinate which furthered the idea that squirting is actually just urinating during sexual intercourse.

This myth has been debunked.

Squirting is not urinating but rather the release of a liquid that resembles urine during sex.

Squirting is not the same as female ejaculation or cumming, but squirting is often described as a form of female ejaculation because it has to do with the release of fluid from the vagina during sex.

Because squirting can happen in the absence of an orgasm, it is also far derived from the word “cumming”, which is almost always used in the context of achieving orgasm.

This is not to say squirting can’t happen at the moment of orgasm, it often does. But for some women, this can happen before or even after achieving an orgasm.

The Difference Between Cumming, Creaming, Squirting & Female Ejaculation

At this point, let’s clarify some of the terms that have been discussed thus far.

Cumming refers to a form of female ejaculation where a white discharge is released from the vagina during orgasm.

The release of this white, milky fluid is also known as creaming. Interestingly, “creaming” is also responsible for lubricating your vagina during arousal, priming it for penetration.

But, “cumming” can also refer to an orgasm in the absence of this discharge. An orgasm refers to the point that a female experiences a sexual climax.

Squirting on the other hand refers to the release of a larger volume of odorless, colorless liquid that resembles urine and can be released from the vagina when aroused.

Squirting can happen in the absence of an orgasm and as such is not necessarily a good indication that a woman has achieved an orgasm. 

Does That Mean Squirting Is Not Female Ejaculation?

For the most part, squirting is still regarded as a form of female ejaculation.

Recent research has divided female ejaculation into the categories of squirting and creaming (or cumming) and identified them as the two main forms of female ejaculation.

This is because female ejaculation largely refers to the release of fluid from the vagina during sex.

But, there are people who believe that squirting is not a form of female ejaculation and that female ejaculation is the exclusive term used to refer to creaming or the release of a white discharge during orgasm (similar to a male ejaculation).

What Are the Physiological Differences Between Cumming and Squirting?

Squirting liquid is expelled by the bladder and averages about 10 millimeters when it is released.

Female ejaculatory fluid, or female cum, originates from the paraurethral glands and contains a high concentration of prostate-specific antigens.  

These same antigens have been found in some female squirters’ liquid discharge, but not all of them.

For the most part, the biggest difference is that squirting refers to a transurethral expulsion of liquid from the bladder, whereas cumming is the discharge of a small amount of white fluid from the paraurethral glands.

Can You Cum and Squirt at the Same Time?

Yes. Because the mechanisms that underlie cumming and squirting are completely different, they can happen simultaneously.

When cumming and squirting happen simultaneously they result in an intense orgasm as both fluids compete to exit through the urethral opening of the vagina. 

They can also happen in succession or within the same sexual session. Or not at all.

Most females who experience ejaculation regularly have reported that it doesn’t happen in every single sexual session.

So, if you have experienced either of these sensations and then it stopped for a while. Don’t worry. This is completely normal. 

This is probably because it involves a careful balance of arousal, stimulation, and state of mind for women to engage in ejaculation. 

Can You Learn to Cum and Squirt?

Yes. Both of these experiences are within your reach if you take some time to familiarize yourself with the proper technique and the required stimulation.

Most women have reported positive experiences with ejaculating in response to G-spot stimulation. 

It is believed that this type of stimulation stimulates the Skene’s glands and primes the vagina for the expulsion of fluid.

You can find the G-spot by inserting two fingers into your vagina and making a come-hither movement, 

Your partner can also do this with their fingers as a way of stimulating the G-spot. Sex positions such as doggy style are also great contenders for G-spot stimulation.

You can also use a sex toy, as these are often designed to stimulate this particular area as well.

Kegel exercises have also been reported as a way to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, which allows you to “push” the liquid out of your vagina.

Both forms of ejaculation have been associated with feelings of release and “letting go”.

This is because both simulate the sensation of wanting to urinate. For most women, this may prompt them to tighten up.

But, this is the part where you need to lean into the sensation to allow the liquid to freely flow from your vagina.

If you are worried about accidentally urinating, ensure that you practice sex or masturbation on an empty bladder.

This will allow you to have peace of mind when the sensation to urinate strikes.

If you manage to ejaculate, you should feel a warm flow of liquid exiting your vagina either in the form of white liquid or squirting liquid. 

Is It Worth It?

After reading this, you may be wondering if this is worth it. Do you really need to know how to squirt or cum to have a satisfying sex life?

Well, no. You can probably have a ton of great orgasms and a satisfying sex life without ever expelling any sort of liquid from your vagina.

But, many females have reported that ejaculation has increased their satisfaction in the bedroom.

Some women have even reported that their partners enjoy it because they derive a sense of pleasure and achievement from making a female cum or squirt.

Squirting and cumming have also been associated with more full body orgasms that leave you tingling from head to toe.

So, it is probably worth a shot. And entirely within your reach if you are committed to learning some of the ins and outs.

Conclusion

Do you know your squirt from your cum yet? After reading this, you should be well-versed in all the differences between cumming and squirting. 

Cumming refers to the point of sexual climax, associated with the expulsion of a semen-like fluid. 

Squirting refers to the release of a large amount of colorless liquid from the vagina. 

Both are seen as forms of female ejaculation. And both are possible for women to achieve. In fact, most women derive increased sexual satisfaction from it. 

Ready to give it a try yet? It may just be the boost you need in the bedroom. And your partner might enjoy it too.
