A LOT.\u00a0 And Two.. I caught it early enough to try the herbal remedy.<\/p>\n<p>A note on the squirting&#8230; it&#8217;s both pleasurable and painful.\u00a0 It sucks as a lube since its the consistency of pee or water.\u00a0 It can soak your bed, dammit!!!\u00a0 (or your carpet.. depending on where its done.. [shackled to a doorway] Hey!\u00a0 Don&#8217;t judge me!\u00a0 His carpet, so who cares.)\u00a0 But, I think it uses the same &#8220;delivery system&#8221; as your urinary tract.. and it just might open you up to infections.<\/p>\n<p>A note on the herbal remedy track&#8230;.\u00a0 OMG, I&#8217;m so surprised, but it worked.\u00a0 At my first, slightly strained, slightly painful pee.. I ran out &amp; got cranberry pills.\u00a0 I knew to give up sugar for the day, but didn&#8217;t realize I also had to give up coffee until after I&#8217;d had a few sips.. Sigh.\u00a0 I spent the day downing a glass almost every 30 minutes &amp; avoiding sugar.\u00a0 I took Aspirin\/Motrin to stave off the low-grade fever &amp; painful peeing and waited to see if this would work.\u00a0 Knowing I had Urgent Care up my sleeve if necessary.\u00a0 And it worked!!\u00a0 After 18 hours I felt 100%.\u00a0 Shocking.\u00a0 But saved me $300.00 and I feel great about NOT going down the antibiotic road.\u00a0 That shit fucks up my shit!\u00a0 Literally.\u00a0 Its why I&#8217;ve now added Probiotic pills to my cocktail, dammit.<\/p>\n<p>So.. what we have learned:<\/p>\n<p>We learned that herbal remedies actually do work.\u00a0\u00a0 And&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We learned that if your lover is going to try to get you to squirt he should wash thoroughly.. like a surgeon (!)&#8230; up to his elbows.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m one of the rare few women who squirt.\u00a0 Yes, its an actual thing.\u00a0 And no its not peeing.\u00a0\u00a0 Trust me&#8230; Cuz I used to believe the exact same thing, until I did it myself.\u00a0 And then watched a Current &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/?p=2536\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2536","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-naughty-stuff"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2536","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2536"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2536\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3160,"href":"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2536\/revisions\/3160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2536"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2536"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2536"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
