Doctors Have Never Heard of My Rare Sexual Superpower. I Like It-but It Scares Me.

"I've never had a problem with lubrication, but until now, I'd only squirted a handful of times in my life. I did it once in my 20s when I didn't know anything about anything and my asshole boyfriend shamed me for peeing on him (I know there is some pee in squirting fluid). Another time in my late 30s when one partner was able to consistently make me drench the bed with his magic fingers."

"It has been awkward at sex parties where I have to go find the host to request a change of sheets (wipe-down surfaces are much easier to deal with) but they're generally open-minded spaces and it's often seen as a trophy move. It is mildly annoying that casual partners are often so thrilled with this response that they'll usually keep at it to the exclusion of pursuing other, more pleasing-to-me clitoral orgasms. To be clear, though, I love it! So does everyone I'm with."

A perimenopausal person in their late 40s reports newly frequent, heavy squirting during penetrative stimulation, occurring every time and without apparent restrictions. The person experienced rare squirting previously but now describes repeated 'tsunami' waves that continue until stopped. The response causes practical awkwardness at sex parties and leads casual partners to focus on penetrative stimulation rather than preferred clitoral orgasms. The person enjoys the experience but worries about possible health implications. A medical concern raised is that the change could indicate bladder issues or pelvic-floor weakness. Prior latchkey incontinence resolved after hormone-replacement therapy that included biweekly estrogen suppositories.
