If you have a vagina, you’ve probably heard that you need to pee after adult sex. But do you know why this is so important? Or how soon you should go to the bathroom afterward? Here are some reasons why you should (and when you should) go:
The main reason why people with vaginas should urinate after adult sex is to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections. A urinary tract infection occurs when bacteria travel through the urethra to the bladder, where they grow and cause inflammation. People with vaginas have shorter urethras than people with penises, so bacteria have a shorter distance to travel from the urethra to the bladder.
Peeing after adult sex helps
Flush the urethra, preventing potentially harmful bacteria from attaching to the walls of the urinary tract and reducing the risk of a urinary tract infection spreading to other parts of the urinary tract, such as the bladder, uterus, or kidneys. Reduced. Urinary tract infections don’t always have symptoms, but they can cause a burning sensation while urinating, frequent urge to urinate, pelvic pain, cloudy urine, a strong smell, or abnormally colored urine. So, going to the bathroom straight away can save you a lot of unnecessary pain and suffering.
Short answer: No. It’s okay to cuddle for a while, but ideally, you should urinate within 30 minutes after sex. Peeing after sex flushes bacteria out of your body before they can enter your bladder. So, while you don’t have to jump out of bed right away, you shouldn’t go to bed after 8 hours either. However, if you frequently get urinary tract infections, peeing immediately after sex may be more effective.
Does everyone have to pee after sex even as an adult?
Peeing after incentive sex as an adult is especially important for people with vaginas because their urethra is closer to the anus People with vaginas should pee after any type of adult intercourse, including penis, fingers, and toys. When switching from anal play to vaginal penetration, wash the penis, hands, or toys thoroughly with mild detergent and water. Even if you use a condom, you should wash and wear a new one (condoms often don’t cover the entire area, so bacteria can remain). Switching directly from anal to vaginal penetration can cause a urinary tract infection, as well as a yeast infection or yeast infection.
What about sexually transmitted diseases?
Peeing after sex as an adult can help flush bacteria that cause urinary tract infections out of the urethra, but it doesn’t protect you from sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Bacteria associated with sexually transmitted diseases affect the body in different ways. The body absorbs these bacteria through tin
Tears in the mucous membranes, but pee does not affect this absorption process The only way to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases is to use barrier methods such as condoms and dental dams
What should I do if I want to get pregnant?
Peeing immediately for adult sex does not hurt your chances of getting pregnant. The urine comes out of the urethra. These are two completely separate openings, so nothing is washed out of the vagina when you pee through the urethra. Now, if you’re thinking about sperm that might come out of your vagina when you pee (thanks, gravity), don’t worry. Immediately after ejaculation, about 65% of sperm are released from the semen and start moving towards the cervix. Some sperm remain deep in the vagina and fall out after a few minutes to a few hours. The rest are quickly eliminated, as are many non-sperm materials like proteins and vitamins. By the time you get up to pee, the fastest sperm have already passed the cervix. Anything that falls out immediately after adult sex or while urinating does not pass through the cervix, so standing up or urinating will have no effect.
