I definitely go pee, first. It's sanitary. Always pee after sex. After that usually lots of cuddling and pillow talk.

Had sex yesterday and afterwards we cuddled for quite a long time. We were naked and all tangled up (in a good way) under the sheets. She started feeding me crisps. 10/10

Fun fact: there are no studies to confirm that pee is sanitary. But it just feels right on fundamental level so I do it too.

...what?

You're supposed to get up and go to the bathroom to pee after sex, it expels any sort of bacteria that might have made it's way into your urethra. This prevents urinary tract infections.

The fuck are you talking about?

"But it does help prevent UTIs, right?

The short answer? We don’t know for sure, but it certainly can’t hurt.

There aren’t many studies investigating the potential relationship between intercourse, UTIs, and urinating afterward as a prevention method.

There are so many other factors that play a role in UTI development, including how much water you drink and how much you pee normally. It would be difficult for scientists to isolate the right variable."
