Question

ive heard this before but assumed it was for stds and sperm, which doesn't make sense to me. i mean, i'm 16 and dumb lol but does it prevent anything?? what does it do?

Accepted Answer

Great question! During sex, bacteria can get pushed in your urethra (the tube pee comes out of). It’s a different hole than your vagina. Peeing washes the bacteria out so you’re less likely to get a UTI. Peeing does absolutely nothing for your chance of pregnancy or STDs, since that’s a different hole.

Answer

It prevents infections

Answer

I feel you. Nobody ever told me it’s about UTIs and stuff and not pregnancy lol. Just had my first UTI and let me tell you the antibiotics I had to take had so many side affects but it cleared up the UTI fast

Answer

It's so you don't get a uti. Sex is messy and gets a whole bunch of fluids mixed up everywhere down there, and if any of that stays in your urethra too long you can get a uti that hurts like hell

Answer

Great question!
During the act of sex, the man's penis is in contact with a lot of areas from the anal region, vagina, clitoris and urethral opening. 
So, this means that the chances of having Bacteria transferred from the anus the bladder via the urethral opening are quite high. 
Hence, giving birth to the concept of 'Honeymoon' cystitis.
So, peeing after sex, ensures that the bacteria that could have settled at the opening of the urethra do not ascend into the bladder hence the cystitis or what most people know as a urinary Tract infection (UTI).

Answer

The mechanism of sex can cause natural bacteria that is on the pubic area to be rubbed on your urethra. That bacteria then can travel thru your urethra and into your bladder. This causes UTIs. By urinating after sex, you flush any bacteria out of the ureter.

Answer

So you won't get a uti

Answer

You get A LOT of bacteria up there when you’re having sex from the bed sheets blankets you clothes each other whatever so peeing after sex can prevent infection like a uti or yeast infection. If you’re not using a condom it’s also good to get some of the sperm out. You’re young and that’s an awesome question honestly! Just be safe, birth controls/condoms are way cheaper than babies! And you keep your sanity lmao

Answer

Always pee before and after sex to avoid a UTI!

Answer

Helps prevent infections. Both male and female should do it. My bf goes immediately afterwards and I usually have to pee about 5-10 minutes afterwards every time soo😂 it’s weird but it’s helpful
