A Moment Of Lovely

How do porn stars make their squirt scenes look like a shaken bottle of popped champagne?

In porn, squirting (or female ejaculation) is often so theatrical that it’s a centerpiece of the video and an entire genre. Like a human super soaker, the performer usually leaves herself and the occasional partner or partners drenched, and oftentimes, the fourth wall is broken when the camera lens is left splashed with droplets on it.

During 2021, searches for squirting videos on PornHub saw a 188 percent increase in the UK and a 213 percent jump in France. In the United States "squirt" jumped 17 spots and landed in the top 20 most searched words.

Squirting, or female ejaculation, is the expulsion of fluid through the urethra during sexual arousal and orgasm (although it doesn’t necessarily require an orgasm). The average amount of liquid typically ranges from 30 to 150 milliliters.

Within the science (and porn) community, it’s long been debated whether or not there is a difference between squirting and peeing during sex because the liquid comes from the urethra and the result differs from body to body. Sometimes it can be nothing more than a wet spot on the sheets and other times it’s accompanied by a powerful orgasm, and in porn, it oftentimes is depicted like a literal vaginal geyser. So, how do porn stars make their squirt scenes look like a shaken bottle of popped champagne? Mashable spoke to porn stars to find out.

"Porn is acting to some extent, but it's more heightened. On set, you have an orgasm but then you also have to make more of a show of it," Adriana Chechik, the porn star turned gaming and mental health advocacy Twitch streamer said. So, the same goes for squirting.

How women prep for an on-screen squirting scene

As actresses are expelling liquid through their urethra when they’re squirting, it’s important to be hydrated before they start shooting their scenes. This typically includes drinking lots of water or Pedialyte, the electrolyte-filled rehydration drink.

However, getting hydrated is just the tip. "For women, getting to heightened orgasm is so much more about being desired and feeling that passion than it is just the action," Chechik said. "Porn is great and it's awesome, but you just hit that ready, set, go and don't really get that build up."

Wett Diamond, another performer, exclusively does her squirting scenes solo. "I cannot miss a good water-based lubricant to avoid hurting myself," she says. "I can only achieve the squirt if I use my toys that vibrate constantly so that I can stimulate the area."

For Chechik, who stopped shooting mainstream porn about a year ago, she liked to ensure she was in a heightened place of arousal before the shooting started. "I often tell women what’s worked best for me was going into the bathroom and having that alone time where I would have an orgasm before I even went to go shoot the scene." She’d do this before even meeting her male performer. "If you're already ready to go, it's a lot easier for somebody else to give you an orgasm."

"People don't understand that the mess isn't just happening in front of the camera. It's happening all around the camera and all around the set."

From there, communication is key. She said sitting down with the other performer before the shoot and ensuring they could talk about how to get to the goal of squirting is crucial before starting the scene. "Otherwise, it might not happen,” she said. “You need to be able to talk them through it."

Additionally, sometimes douches are used. This is when water is inserted into the vagina, and the actress pushes it out to create an excessive squirting effect. "It's hysterical because the director is like, ‘Okay, cut. Let's just put one in there.’ And then, they're like, ‘1, 2, 3, go!’ and you're trying to roll."

Diamond says she doesn’t use them for health reasons. "In my opinion, they are not healthy for the pH [of the vagina]," she said. "The only items I use are my user-controlled toys, dildos, and water-based lubricant."

Common squirting scene mishaps

Much like in any other filming, there’s a bit of behind-the-scenes movie magic, but when the body is involved there are obvious opportunities for risks to both the actors and anyone on set.

A common question or assumption around squirting, in general, is if it’s simply urine, and while actual female ejaculation isn’t, in porn sometimes it is just peeing. A few years back, Woodrocket featured squirting on their “Ask A Porn Star” series with porn star Allie Haze, April O'Neil, Veruca James, and others. The answers ranged from squirting isn’t real, to it is and it’s not pee (because it has a distinctly different taste), to it is but the performers have also peed during scenes.

"I will say 90 percent of the time, I was truly squirting," Chechik said. "There are some times where you get booked for a squirt movie or something like that and you will pee because you're over hydrating."

She also pointed out the potential risks of hydrating for these shoots. "I've been on set multiple occasions with girls – and once myself – that got dizzy or sick because you're waterlogged," she said. "It's crazy because you throw up and it’s not only that – your body digests everything." They’ll often experience other symptoms of overhydration like nausea and diarrhea.

Additionally, similar to childbirth, there’s also contracting and pushing when trying to create this embellished squirting scene for the camera. "A lot of times, girls will poo because they're pushing too hard, so that’s a challenge," Chechik said.

"I myself have broken nine cameras, and I know other girls that have broken a lot too."

It’s not only the women that have their own set of potential mishaps when shooting squirting scenes, though. Chechik recalls one particularly slippery shoot. "I was shooting with Miss Tiffany Watson and me and her both squirted to the extent where not only did the director fall, but the talent fell and then one of the PAs (production assistant) fell," she said.

They took a long break for the set to be cleaned up. “The PA came back with a “Caution: Wet Floor” sign, and said we were all going to break a leg,” she remembered. “It’s always really funny because people don't understand that the mess isn't just happening in front of the camera. It's happening all around the camera and all around the set."

Finally, in addition to the obvious challenges of the stop-and-go nature of shooting sex scenes for the performers and the crew, shooting squirting is particularly risky for even the cameras. "I don't understand why videographers aren't doing more stuff to keep the cameras from breaking or getting stuff that's waterproof," Chechik said. "I myself have broken nine cameras, and I know other girls that have broken a lot too."

She said she’s even been directed to squirt towards the camera but lower. Laughing at how ridiculous those requests are, she said, "Sure, let me try to control this now with this huge dick in the middle of coming. This is on you, not on me!"

While it’s clear to viewers, there’s typically a lot of effort going into a performer reaching climax and squirting on screen, it’s even more apparent the prep and execution of this particular genre includes a lot more than foreplay and making a big splash. The star of the show is just part of the equation and the entire crew comes together for your viewing pleasure.

LAS VEGAS

Abella Danger and Reya Sunshine share a common theme when talking about their preparation for the biggest event of their respective careers.

The hosts of the 2023 AVN Awards Show tonight both want “to make sure everything is perfect.”

“Mostly, I’m just so nervous,” Danger admits.

“There are definitely a lot of high expectations from fans and performers to have a really great show since it is the first one that is in person in three years, so I really hope that it lives up to everyone’s expectations. I am excited but mostly just so nervous.”

Sunshine jokes that she’s been approaching this first Saturday of January 2023 “like it’s my wedding day.”

“I keep explaining to everyone that this is the big night, everything in my career has been building up to this,” Reya says. “I’m super excited.”

The superstar duo will take the stage in just a matter of hours today at Resorts World Las Vegas, presiding over the 40th annual ceremony in which winners will be crowned in more than 130 categories across every major facet of adult entertainment.

Sunshine in late December shared that finishing touches were still being placed on her custom AVN Awards outfit.

“It’s being made just for me to be extra sparkly and sexy and show off my best features,” teases Reya, an accomplished pole dancer and national draw on the feature circuit who also has been a top model on MyFreeCams since 2016.

She says the process of finding her AVN attire entailed “a lot of looking for inspiration.”

“And fitting it to me and my look and also thinking about what will look good over time, too,” Reya explains. “I didn’t want it to be too trendy so that maybe it wasn’t so flattering years from now. I wanted something that I’ll like forever.”

Abella, meanwhile, says she already selected more wardrobe than she even will need.

“Honestly, I’ve gone ahead and picked too many because it was so hard to choose,” Danger says with a laugh. “I’m so excited about all my shiny outfits. I’ve picked out all my outfits that I’m signing in, my outfit for presenting at GayVN and my outfits for AVN.”

In addition to the sexy mistresses of ceremonies, the AVN Awards also will feature live musical performances by Kehlani and Shenseea along with comic relief from fast-rising stand-up personality, Matt Rife.

“Matt is so funny,” Danger says. “He’s a breath of fresh air. I just think he’s a really authentic person and he doesn’t try to be funny. He really appeals to the masses. All my friends from different walks of life, everybody I know who has heard of him really likes his comedy. He transcends different age groups.”

Danger calls Kehlani’s music “incredible.”

“I’m very excited that she’s performing at this year’s AVN Awards,” Abella says. “I feel like she fits in really well with the brand. She’s very sex positive and she’s a big feminist which really aligns with all the female performers. I love Kehlani… I don’t really have a number one [favorite song], I’m just excited to see what she’s going to bring to the stage. All the girls are going to go wild when they see her perform. They’re all going to be rushing to the front of the stage.”

The Brazzers contract girl Danger—who has won the Fan-Voted AVN Award for Most Epic Ass the past four years straight—says one of the highlights of her past year was being named the No. 1 most-watched porn star on Pornhub, generating national press from outlets such as the New York Post.

“I was really shocked by that when I saw the article in the NY Post. I was like, whoa!” Abella says. “I was quite content with being No. 2….I had been No. 2 for so long, that had kind of been my spot. So I was actually flabbergasted with how I rose to the top of the ranks. It was so crazy.”

The 2016 Best New Starlet and Fan-Voted Hottest Newcomer from Miami, who started her career in 2014, now is a pre-law major. She managed to juggle classes while also doing content creation and expanding her mainstream entertainment profile in 2022.

Danger tells AVN she recently made it to the finals of a debate tournament in what was the highlight of her year at college.

“Me and my teammate got third,” Abella says. “The people who got first and second have been debating for years and years.”

Danger says she also placed fourth in the competition for The Speaker award for the top debaters in the competition, which was contested in British Parliamentary style.

“So I was the fourth-highest speaker in the whole tournament,” Danger adds. “I’m going to be doing a lot of debate tournaments next year.

“I chose to join the debate team because I really needed an extracurricular activity and it looks good on my transcript. I found debate through my speech class and just fell in love with it. I’m really big into philosophy, I even tutor. My Ethics professor made me an Ethics tutor so I get paid for doing five hours of tutoring a week.”

Danger continues, “I learned the best way to win a debate is to take it to a philosophical level. So I use different philosophical theories to win my arguments.”

Abella says sometimes the organizers choose what side of an issue her team has to debate regardless of what her personal belief is, so she has to fight for something that is opposite to her morals.

“It teaches you to gain the other person’s perspective,” Abella says. “It’s just a fun community. I enjoy it thoroughly.”

Sunshine, a native of Northern California who now resides in Miami, graduated with a degree in Psychology from the University of California prior to breaking into adulthood. She made an immediate splash on MFC—her first AVN Show was in January 2016—and five years later she graced the cover of the April 2021 issue of AVN CAMStar.

In the past few years, she also has established herself as one of the industry’s premier independent content creators and YouTubers while amassing millions of followers on social media.

Sunshine raised her content creation game to another level in 2022, collaborating with multiple fellow A-listers such as J-Mac, with whom she recently did her first outdoor oil scene. She also recently got down again with AVN Award-winning performer Abigail Mac.

“It was obviously a big year for my career because I was selected to co-host the AVN Awards—that was super exciting—and I also did a lot of professional, quality boy/girl videos this year, girl/girl and solos as well,” Sunshine says. “I’ve been focused on releasing two new boy/girl videos every month.”

She says in 2023 that fans can expect more quality hardcore content on her private platform.

"That’s the goal to definitely keep the momentum up,” Reya continues. “I want to keep putting out the same amount of content and I’m adding featuring back into my schedule. … I’m going to be booked out all year at least one a month.”

That’s great news for anyone whose ever seen Sunshine’s energetic stage presence. She took all of 2022 off after dancing on occasion in 2021.

“Early 2020 was the last time I was consistently feature dancing,” Reya says. “I miss it. I miss performing live in front of people. I had a lot of fun doing that. It doesn’t reach as wide of an audience but you do deepen the connection with the fans you do meet there and that’s meaningful, too.

Reya continues, “It’s good to strengthen the relationship with your fans and I also like having different things to do within my business, so it’s not the same type of routine every day. I have a lot of fun performing.

“I will be making all new routines and that’s a whole process as well between figuring outfits, figuring out how you can strip them off and be extra engaging with the fans and which music to use.”
