This explains why recommendations about urinating after sex are especially directed at women, although men also benefit from doing so, especially if they have had unprotected or prolonged sex, where the accumulation of bacteria can be greater.

7. Other benefits of urinating after sex

In addition to preventing infections, urinating after sex also helps to:

To relieve possible discomfort or pelvic pressure.

Promote relaxation of the body after the act.

Remove any traces of lubricants or condoms.

Maintain a general feeling of cleanliness.

Some people even notice that this habit improves their overall well-being after sex, as it prevents that mild discomfort that sometimes appears for no apparent reason.
8. How to create the habit

Making it a habit is very simple. You don’t need to do it immediately afterward, but within the first 10 or 15 minutes. Drinking a little water before or after urination also helps stimulate urination and makes the process easier.

If you find it difficult to urinate afterward, you can try relaxing, taking deep breaths, or having a warm shower. In a few minutes, your body will respond naturally.
