I started masturbating when I was in high school and there would be times where something would feel good, but then I would feel my muscles relax and suddenly my bed would be wet with pee — sometimes a lot of pee. It was like in certain positions I had no control over keeping pee in my body. Sometimes it even happened if I peed before I masturbated! Then it happened in partner sex. I was having sex with someone with a penis, I was on top and suddenly I was peeing all over him. That time I did really have to pee so it made some sense. Much more recently I was having sex and my partner was fingering me, and it felt good and I was wet, but then I was really wet and when I moved there was a large wet spot on the bed. I had peed again!
Is this just a part of the way my body works? Does this happen to others? I’m trying not to be too embarrassed about it, but both times it felt pretty mortifying. I already have a lot of problems feeling comfortable when having sex with others and this worry that I will randomly pee isn’t helping.
— Peeing Problems
Many people hand over their hard-earned dollars for me to teach them, in my sex educational workshops, how to do what you’re doing which, to me, sounds a lot like vaginal ejaculation — “squirting,” as the mainstream, XXX-rated world might say.
This isn’t to say that you should automatically turn that frown upside down. As with all things sexual and erotic, there are a million different strokes for just as many folks, and if squirting is one person’s holy grail and your total pain in the ass, that’s okay, too. But I wonder if connecting this damp phenomenon to your sexual pleasure rather than your perceived urinary incontinence will provide you with a wee bit of relief. (Couldn’t help myself.)
There’s one dreaded study that just keeps recirculating on my social media timelines “proving” that vaginal ejaculate is “just pee.” This unimpressive study was done on a small sample — seven people. During analysis of the sample ejaculate, researchers found three substances that are also common in urine: urea, creatinine, and uric acid. They then promptly jumped to the conclusion that all female ejaculate is JUST PEE, Y’ALL. Phew! For a minute I was worried that vaginal pleasure could stand apart from reproductive or penis-pleasing purposes. GOOD THING IT’S JUST PEE and we can go back to shaming women for enjoying their sexual bodies.
The G-spot (which is rightly more like an area), is located about two-knuckles deep on the inside front wall of the vaginal canal and is most easily reached and stimulated with a curved object or position that angles your penetrative object towards that area — like when you were on top of your partner that one time and being fingered the other time. I’ve written extensively about how to find the G-spot, how to ejaculate, and even how to prevent yourself from vaginally ejaculating on yanatallonhicks.com (just search “G-spot.”)
The main takeaway from your question for me, PP, is the repetition of you saying “it felt good” before you “peed.” If your sexual activity is bringing you pleasure and is consensual between you and your partners, then who even cares if it’s pee, or ejaculate, or lemonade. Plenty of people ejaculate vaginally, it’s completely healthy, and someday you’ll probably even find a partner who’s, like, really into that sexual response. So, throw down a towel and enjoy your body!
