Is it weird
to watch porn
during solo play?

How does it
work, exactly?
Everyone’s talking about it
- but no one’s quite sure what

the f luids build up, there’s
a squirting effect.’ In other
words, it all depends on how
your body is built. Plenty of
women can’t squirt at all. It
has nothing to do with how
awesome you are at sex (and
nothing to do with his bed-
