Hey! I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this but here I am. For some reason, coming seems to be a sort of “accomplishment.” I know that in reality this actually isn’t true, but I’ve only recently started getting pleasure from masturbation (I’m 15, I’ve been masturbating for maybe 4 months, enjoying it for 1) and it’s something that I’d like to have happen even though I know it’s not a hoop to jump through. However, I have noticed that I squirt a lot, usually combined with some pee, and I was wondering what the difference was. I know they’re both types of ejaculation, but from everything I’ve read cum is thicker, “milkier,” and usually happens with an orgasm while squirt contains some pee, comes from the Skene glans, and isn’t super related to orgasming. My mom said she’s only ever heard of squirting in porn and thinks that I did come, but I’ve been told “I’ll know it when I feel it” and this just didn’t feel like it. I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this!

Hi catadora_m,

So, "come" and "squirting" are actually both terms used to refer to ejaculation/ejaculate. The difference is more about when people tend to use those words. "Squirting" is often used to refer to ejaculation by someone with a vagina, where as "come" is used to refer to ejaculation from a penis, or it's used to refer to both kinds of ejaculation.

It sounds like it might actually be helpful for you to give this a read to clear up some of the questions you have:
