Grool
Grool is informal sexual slang for visible genital wetness associated with sexual arousal, especially when it is abundant, stringy or dripping. It is not a medical term or a separate type of body fluid.[1]

Where does grool come from?
During sexual arousal, increased genital blood flow causes fluid derived from blood plasma to pass through the vaginal wall. This vaginal transudate is an important source of natural lubrication.[2]
Visible wetness can also contain cervical mucus and other genital secretions. What is casually called grool is therefore not necessarily one chemically uniform fluid.
What does grool look like?
Grool is commonly seen as clear, translucent or whitish moisture covering the inner labia and vaginal opening. When there is more fluid, it may coat fingers, sex toys or a penis and can sometimes form visible strings between two surfaces.
There is no medical test or precise appearance that defines something as "grool". It is a slang description of visible sexual wetness rather than a separate type of body fluid.
Why can grool be stringy?
Some genital fluids are naturally more slippery or stretchy than others. Cervical mucus becomes particularly thin, slippery and stretchy around ovulation and can mix with other vaginal fluids.[3]
This means that a long string of fluid seen coming from a pussy does not by itself reveal exactly where the fluid came from.
Grool and sexual arousal
Sexual stimulation can measurably increase vaginal lubrication. Laboratory studies have detected increased lubrication when women viewed sexual material, together with increased genital blood flow.[4]
A woman may produce very little visible grool during one sexual experience and much more during another. There is no well-established amount that a woman is supposed to produce.
How wet can a woman get?
There is no well-established normal or maximum volume of arousal lubrication during ordinary sexual activity. Research shows that the amount varies, but laboratory studies often measure changes in wetness rather than collecting and measuring the total fluid volume.[4]
Anecdotal reports include women becoming wet enough during arousal to soak underwear and sometimes leave visible moisture through trousers. This demonstrates that very abundant wetness can occur, but it does not tell us how common it is.[5]
Wetness does not necessarily mean desire
Physical genital arousal and consciously felt sexual arousal do not always match. A meta-analysis of 132 laboratory studies involving 2,505 women and 1,918 men found an average correlation of r = .26 between women's subjective and measured genital arousal, compared with r = .66 in men.[6]
The study measured genital arousal more broadly rather than grool specifically, but it shows why visible wetness should not be treated as proof of desire, attraction or consent.
Grool is not the same as normal vaginal discharge
The vagina normally contains moisture even when a woman is not sexually aroused. Normal vaginal discharge is usually clear to white, and its amount and consistency can change throughout the menstrual cycle.[7]
In its narrower sexual meaning, grool refers specifically to wetness associated with sexual arousal rather than every fluid normally found around the vaginal opening.
Grool is not squirting
Grool and squirting are different phenomena. Arousal lubrication mainly accumulates inside the vagina and around the vaginal opening, while squirting is fluid expelled through the urethra.
A review of female sexual fluids describes vaginal lubrication primarily as transvaginal fluid derived from blood plasma, while squirting fluid is largely diluted urine from the bladder.[8]
Grool is not female ejaculation
Female ejaculation is also different. It usually refers to a small amount of thicker, whitish fluid released from the female prostate (Skene's glands), often around orgasm.[8]
A woman can therefore become heavily lubricated without squirting or ejaculating, and she can potentially experience these phenomena together during the same sexual activity.
Grool during sex
Natural lubrication can spread over the vaginal opening, labia, penis, fingers or sex toys during sexual activity.
In photographs and videos, however, the source of visible fluid cannot reliably be identified from appearance alone. Clear or stringy moisture may include natural lubrication, cervical mucus, other genital fluids or artificial lubricant.
