Squirting in The Ancient World

Squirting has caught our attention since ancient times. Aristotle (384-322 BC) described both males and females as having ‘seeds’ and believed they were needed for conception. He thought the ‘female seed’ was ‘less pure and less sanctified’ and had a… ‘unique’ perspective on why not all women squirt.

“There is a discharge from the uterus which occurs in some women but not in others. It is found in those who are fair-skinned and of a feminine type generally, but not in those who are dark and of masculine appearance. The amount of this discharge when it occurs is sometimes on a different scale from the emission of semen and far exceeds it”

The ancient Chinese writers of the Hang dynasty (202 BC-220 AD) wrote openly and in great detail about sex and believed sexual intercourse was the ‘foundation of life.’ They were careful observers and described the phases of female sexual arousal in ‘five signs, five desires, and ten movements.’

The five signs (or stages) were:

1. Reddened face
2. Breasts hard and nose perspiring
3. Throat dry and saliva blocked
4. Slippery vagina
5. Genitals transmit fluid

The five desires were:

1. Make love with you
2. To insert your penis
3. Be very stimulated and excited
4. To have her orgasm soon
5. She has already been satisfied

We can safely assume that ‘genitals transmit fluid’ is what we call squirting because it happens when ‘she has already been satisfied.’ It is also separate from ‘slippery vagina’ or vaginal lubrication and female ejaculation.

People in India have also been writing about squirting since the 7^th century AD. This quote is the oldest documentation of female ejaculation in ancient Indian literature.

“… smooth love juice overflowed abundantly the garment, right there were her girdle was located… Occasionally the production of fluids is so profuse that a large towel has to be spread under the woman to prevent the bed sheets getting soiled.”

The following quote is from the Kamasutra:

“The fall of the semen of the man takes place only at the end of coition, while the semen of the woman falls continually, and after the semen of both has all fallen away then the wish for discontinuance of coition.”

The first truly scientific insight on female ejaculation (squirting) came from Dr. Reinjier De Graaf (1641-1673 AD). He was the first scientist to describe female genital anatomy, including the “female prostate.”

 “. . . along the whole duct of the urethra, a whitish membranous substance about one finger-breadth thick which completely surrounds the urethral canal . . . The substance could be called quite aptly the female prostate or corpus glandulosum glandulous body . . . The function of the prostate is to generate a pituito-serous juice which makes women more libidinous with its pungency and saltiness and lubricates their sexual parts in agreeable fashion during coitus. This liquid was clearly not designed by Nature to moisten the urethra (as some people think). The ducts are so placed at the outlet of the urethra that the liquid does not touch it as it rushes out . . .”

I appreciate the enthusiasm with which people explore squirting because I have experienced that orgasm of volcanic force and volume. Incredibly, this phenomenon has remained a mystery for so long, but with a bit of luck and patience, you’ll be able to master it too.
