This thesis tackles the sexological and culturological problem of female sexual pleasures. It
attempts to establish the existence of female ejaculation or squirting, it offers an overview of
how the patriarchal sexualization of biological processes influences the female everydayness,
and it offers insights into recently changed views about the emancipatory effects of female
sexual pleasures. The main hypothesis posits female ejaculation as a complex hybrid
(physiological and cultural) practice, based on the tangible biological possibilities but also on
the broader social knowledge. Political destiny of female orgasmic and ejaculatory processes
presents a paradox and a point of polarization. These processes are discursively shaped as a
tool of patriarchal oppression and regulation by the male gaze, and at the same time they are
presented in sex-positive feminist discourse about the liberation, about increased sexual
agency and about emancipation of individual women and of the female gender as such. Such
polarization crucially influences the relationship of individual women towards their own
ejaculation. Through the overview and analysis of the primary and secondary sources, and
through qualitative empirical research, based on the ethnography and on the method of halfstructured interviews, the thesis confirmed the main hypothesis about the existence of female
ejaculation and about the contradictory position of female pleasure. Additionally, the thesis
confirms the need for better education in the field of female sexuality
