What is the main benefit of peeing after sex?

Men – For men, urine and semen travels out of the body through the same tube (urethra) after a certain point. (Of course, both can’t happen at the same time). When you pee, the urethra gets cleaned from the remains of any seminal fluids. Also, it clears up any bacteria that may have entered your body while you were having sex. This will help you in preventing Urinary Tract Infections.

Women – In case of women, the channels are different. They have different openings for sex and to urinate. However, the distance between the vaginal opening and the urethral opening is very short. Bacteria or any other micro-organism that gets deposited near the vagina won’t take much effort to reach the urethra and into the body.  That’s one main reason why, women are more prone to Urinary Tract Infections than men.   If you are prone to UTIs or have had Urinary Tract infections in the past, it is better to pee and get rid of the bacteria that could possibly enter your system.

Can oral sex transmit Urinary Tract Infection?

Possible. You need not necessarily have penetrative sex, even when your male partner performs oral sex on the vagina, the bacteria from mouth can enter the urethral opening leading to UTI. Even in case of oral sex, it is advisable to pee after the act.

Is there a time limit by when you should pee after sex?

No. In women, the pathways for semen and urine are different.  Semen gets deposited inside the vaginal canal and as soon as the man ejaculates, the seminal fluid and the sperm warriors start swimming/rolling towards the uterus where the egg is usually located. So, peeing doesn’t help in preventing pregnancy after unprotected sex. You have to use a barrier to stop sperms from reaching the uterus, such as a condom or IUD.

Will peeing after sex prevent in contraction of Sexually Transmitted Infections?

No. STDs or STIs are usually transmitted when an infected individual exchange his/her bodily fluids (not saliva) with the healthy individual.

As said, the vaginal canal is different from urethral opening for women, peeing after sex doesn’t prevent from contracting STD in women. Even in men, the STI causing microbes pass through the membranes of the urethra and enter the body. So, peeing after sex to prevent STI is not a fool proof way . You have to stay away from sex from an unfamiliar person or use protection to save yourself.
