Golden Shower vs Squirting: What's the Difference, Isn't It All Pee?

New Swinger Podcast | Apple | Spotify

Golden showers use actual pee as a kink. Squirting is a natural fluid release from arousal, not urine play. Here’s the clear, no-shame guide to what’s kink, what’s biology, and how to tell them apart.

Let’s clear up a splashy little myth, shall we? People love to confuse squirting with golden showers, and honestly, it’s not their fault. The internet is messy, porn is confusing, and sometimes things shoot out of your body and you’re like, “Wait… did I just pee on someone?”

Here’s the deal – squirting and golden showers are not the same thing. One is a natural, spontaneous response to pleasure. The other is a kink involving actual pee, planned and on purpose. They can both be hot, wet, and slightly terrifying if you’re not ready, but they come from different places. Literally and figuratively.

💦 So… What Is Squirting, Actually?

Squirting is the body’s unfiltered way of saying, “That felt f*cking amazing.” It’s a burst of fluid released from the Skene’s glands (think of them as your internal champagne bottle) during intense G-spot stimulation. It can happen with fingers, toys, oral, or a very, very talented partner with a magic cock.

Is there urine in it? Maybe a little. But squirting isn’t the same as peeing – it’s not the same bladder contraction, not the same control, not the same sensation. It’s pressure. Release. Surprise. Some people squirt like a super soaker. Some never do. Both are normal.

🚿 Golden Showers, on the Other Hand…

Golden showers, also known as watersports, are 100% about pee, on purpose. This is kink. This is roleplay. This is a choice. People who enjoy golden showers might be into domination, submission, humiliation, intimacy, or just the sheer thrill of doing something totally taboo. There’s no mystery fluid here. It’s pee, babes. Pure, uncut, consensual urine.

And unlike squirting, which often happens mid-orgasm without warning, golden showers are planned. You negotiate it. You prep for it. You get towels.

😬 Why Does Everyone Confuse Them?

Because porn is chaotic and Reddit is even worse. Squirting gets mislabeled as pee because it’s wet. Golden showers get passed off as “just a squirter” because it sounds less intense. And then people end up shocked when someone whips it out and things get… streamy.

Bottom line? Confusing the two leads to awkward encounters, disappointed partners, and stained sheets no one was emotionally ready for.

🍒 In the Lifestyle, This Matters

In swinging, clear boundaries and communication are everything. If you’re into squirting, amazing – OWN IT. But don’t assume your partner is into piss play unless you’ve actually said the words. And if someone says they’re into golden showers, don’t be shocked – it’s just another flavor of fun. Kink is kink.

Squirting = the body’s G-spot fireworks.

Golden showers = the conscious act of peeing in, on, or around someone for erotic pleasure.

They’re not interchangeable. And consent never comes in liquid form.

✅ Kat's Final Thoughts

Have I squirted? Yes.
Did I give someone a golden shower? Umm… also yes.
Was it hot? Honestly? Hell yes.

But were they the same thing? Not even close. One was my body throwing a wet surprise orgasmic party. The other was a deliberate, kinky gift I gave on purpose, with towels, consent, and a cheeky smile.

So if you’re curious about either, go ahead and explore but don’t confuse biology with kink, or assume someone’s into both just because they’re into one. Ask the question. Respect the answer. And if you’re lucky… maybe pack a beach towel.

Squirting: The glorious, high-pressure squirting show of female pleasure – sudden, splashy, and capable of soaking anything within a three-foot radius. Think sexy waterpark energy, minus the lifeguard. Messy? Yes. Hot? Absolutely.
