Peeing after sex?

In my very simple mind, it seems that if a man pees immediately after a BBBJ, the chances of receiving a nasty would be reduced as a result of the bacteria being rinsed out. I know that this would have no impact on herpes, but what about the other bacterial infections?

Hi bigfred

I have done a bit of searching around and I have not been able to find any studies that have been done that look at whether peeing (urinating) after sex has any protective effect in men.

What we are left with is would it make logical sense that it could work. I guess for infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea where it is a bacteria getting in the pee tube (urethra) I guess it would make sense that if you urinated the bacteria out before it took hold that this may offer some protection. The problem with the logical route is that we have plenty of examples in our world where we think there is a very simple cause and effect relationship that in the end does not end up being true.

It doesn’t make sense that peeing would have any effect on the transmission of herpes, genital warts (HPV), syphilis or HIV.

What I have found is some information from two reliable websites:

The first web site is “the body” (they are a great HIV website). They discuss how urinating after sex can reduce urinary tract infections in woman, but also suggest there is no evidence in regard to sexually transmitted infections.

The second website is the College of Family Physicians of Canada. They state that you can.

“Wash your genitals with soap and water and urinate soon after you have sex. This may help clean away some germs before they have a chance to infect you.”

So I guess what we have been left with is that maybe washing the genitals with soap and water and urinating after sex may have some benefit. There is no evidence to say that it will but it should not cause you any harm. Just be careful not to over do the washing. I have seen many men in the clinic who have nearly scrubbed the skin off their genitals or they used a very strong cleaner (that probably was not intended to be used on the body) that has irritated their skin. We do know that this break down in your skin will increase your risk for sexually transmitted infections.
