No one gushes water from the genitals due to sex. Some women sometimes ejaculate, and most women vaginally lubricate, but neither are water and in addition, both can happen with or without orgasm.

You can read all about orgasm right at the main site here: Sexual Response and Orgasm: A User's Guide.

(And please remember, per the user guidelines, we ask all users to search the site first before posting questions to the boards -- thanks.)

You may also find these two pieces of help to you: Ten of the Best Things You Can Do For Your Sexual Self (at any age) and Yield for Pleasure (or, why chilling out with intercourse can improve your sex life).

There is no "water gushing" involved with orgasm, though when a woman is very aroused, she can produce more liquidy vaginal lubricant, as well as experience something called female ejaculation. The natural vaginal lubricant/secretion comes from the vagina, the ejaculation has a watery, liquid consistancy and comes from the urethra (where you urinate from).

Most women won't experience ejaculation, though some do, and you may as well. More likely you will experience an increase in vaginal lubrication.

As far as what an orgasm is, it's somewhat difficult to explain as much of it involves the brain, and orgasms are different person to person.

As far as having an orgasm, if you've never experineced one with masturbation, it may be hard to know what your partner should do to help you reach one. Really, you'll need to communicate, tell him what feels good so he can continue doing it, suggest things to him, play around, have fun and see what comes of it.

For many women, as well, vaginal penetration is not enough to stimulate them to orgasm, which means even if intercourse with your boyfriend feels good, it may not be enough. For example, you may need clitoral stimulation, as well.

It's highly unlikely there's anything wrong with you. Just relax and enjoy what you're doing. Never look at orgasm as a goal you need to reach, because the more you do, the less likely you are to ever reach it.

Try reading some of our articles, these in particular may help you out
