Someone asked us: Do some women release fluid during an orgasm? It doesn’t usually happen, but every now and then when I experience a really intense orgasm, I release a clear, nearly odorless liquid, there is a lot of it. Is it urine? I can’t get myself to ask anyone about it in person, but could I have a problem?
This is totally normal — it’s called female ejaculation or squirting. About 10 percent of people with vaginas sometimes spurt a clear fluid from their urethra during intense sexual excitement or during orgasm.
This fluid is very similar to the fluid produced by the prostate gland in people with penises — it isn’t urine. It comes from the Skene’s glands, which are located in the vulva near the opening of the urethra.
