Hey- whats with the urge to have to take a leak after orgasm? Is this a male thing or does it happen to females too? ---

I can’t say I have an “urge” to pee after sex, but I go anyway. After the first time I had a urinary tract infection (fortunately I’ve only had a few) my doctor told me that I should pee after having sex to help flush out any harmful bacteria that was, er, pushed in by the thrusting. There’s a reason that they jokingly call UTIs, honeymoonitis. ---

Maybe you’re just having sex after getting morning wood from having to piss and are making a false correlation. 😉 ---

What, you don’t think that bouncing around enthusiastically on your bladder has anything to do with it? ---

I usually have a delay of at least a few minutes before needing to urinate. I’m sure the women prefer it that way, too. ---

Like most guys, with me it’s more a case of just wanting to… zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ---

Female here. I, too, have an inclination to urinate after sex. It just kinda feels good (not as great as the sex of course…). Of course, I also have an overwhelming urge to pee whenever I take a shower, so I always releive myself before jumping in. I guess I’m just weird, so I may not be a valid subject in your poll. ---

Cause it stimulates your prostate, which is next to your bladder. I could draw a picture if you need one. For women, the pee tube is about a half inch long, they can get bladder infections from sex cause guys aren’t clean down there & the bacteria easily gets worked into their bladder. Thus, they should peee after sex if they can. If a woman gets a lot of bladder infections after sex, the gyno can use a special contraption that stretches [widens] the pee hole & she has to come in often to have this done. Much easier to pee… ---

Much easier to pee… Seems to me that this alleged procedure would make it a lot easier for bacteria to get to the bladder. Hey, doctor handy, to you think the “gyno” could make the pee hole big enough so I could fuck that too? :rolleyes: ---

Much easier to pee… \*\* This maybe isn’t the same thing at all, but I was born with an unnaturally narrow urethra, and had a surgery to correct it when I was six or seven years old, so it really isn’t that crazy of an idea. I peed blood for a couple days afterwards, but I really don’t remember anything else about it. I could ask my mother; she probably remembers more about it than I do. And of course, this all just means that I have insane insecurities about my urinary tract.
