Squirting is a phenomenon where fluid is released before or during orgasm. From self-reports, anywhere between 10% and 70% have experienced it.

The first scientific report on the phenomenon came from 16th century physician Laevinius Lemnius, reporting a case of a woman who "draws forth the man's seed and casts her own with it". In the 19th and early 20th centuries by physicians such as Freud it was often treated as pathological, related to hysteria or lesbianism.
