A: Not all women are able to squirt, but some are able to do so either on their own or with some practice. Most women who squirt start out by stimulating their g-spot, a small area of spongy tissue on the upper wall of a woman’s vagina. To find the G-spot, put your finger or fingers in your vagina and, with your fingers curving upwards (toward your belly) , make a “come here” motion, stroking the upper wall of your vagina with a firm, upward pressure. Not all women enjoy this type of stimulation, but if you do, continue experimenting to find out what works best for you. Some women orgasm from g-spot stimulation, and sometimes that orgasm is accompanied by ejaculation of fluid, or “squirting.” To learn a little more about g-spot stimulation and how to squirt, check out the resources listed below:

A:Herpes exists at the skin level, in the skin and nerve cells at the surface. The risk when there is no sore is close to zero. When Herpes goes active and creates a sore is the time of most contagiousness. There is also a phase of Herpes called Asymptomatic Shedding where virus cells come out in smaller numbers to the surface of the skin, without making a sore.

So what does this mean for female ejaculate? There is no Herpes virus in the fluid before it comes out. The only way Herpes virus cells would get into the fluid is if it flowed over a sore or picked up some virus from the surface of the skin on its way out. So if the woman has no visible sore then the chance of transmission is low. If you know for a fact she doesn’t have Herpes then the chance is zero.

As for other STDs it’s hard to say. There haven’t been a lot of studies done on the risk of female ejaculate as a carrier. It would be safe to say that if the woman has Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, or Syphilis then getting her fluids onto another person’s genitals, mouth, or throat would be risky. HIV transmission from female fluids is super low, unless she is bleeding in her urine or menstruating AND is also HIV positive.
