Is it okay for a man to hold his urine during sexual intercourse? Can holding urine during sexual intercourse increase pleasure

Some people say that holding urine during sexual intercourse can increase pleasure and prevent premature ejaculation. For men with slightly weaker sexual function, holding urine before sexual intercourse can increase pleasure. But some people also say that holding urine during sexual intercourse can harm sexual ability. What exactly is the right thing to do?

Answer: In fact, from a long-term health perspective, it is not recommended to hold urine. For various reasons, everyone may have experienced holding urine. Some people are too busy with work to let go of their work; Some people cannot find a convenient place due to driving; Some people have a lot of fun playing cards or chess and refuse to leave the "battlefield"... It should be noted that frequent urination is not only harmful to physical health, but may also have an impact on sexual ability.

Holding urine gives bacteria an opportunity to take advantage of it

The most direct harm of holding urine is that it allows bacteria to take advantage of it. Under normal circumstances, there are bacteria present in the lower segment of the urethra, which are washed away during urination. Frequent holding urine can weaken the flushing effect of urine, leading to an increase in bacteria that can retrograde to the posterior urethra, bladder, and even reproductive organs, leading to various problems. Firstly, it can cause retrograde urinary tract infections, and in severe cases, it can also lead to cystitis and nephritis, leading to decreased sexual function. Secondly, it may cause prostatitis. Prostatitis often brings symptoms such as premature ejaculation, painful ejaculation, and bloody semen, affecting the quality of sexual life and libido, causing huge psychological pressure on patients, and even affecting male erectile function.

After having sex, men should take a break before urinating

There is also a viewpoint that timely urination after sexual intercourse is beneficial for flushing the urethra and avoiding infection. This statement is reasonable. But men and women need to be separated. For women, urinating immediately after sexual intercourse is a simple and effective way to prevent urinary tract infections. Due to the short and straight urethra in women, bacteria from the external genitalia may retrograde and enter the urethra during sexual activity, causing urethritis, cystitis, etc.

However, men should not rush to urinate after sexual intercourse, as it can cause damage to the prostate. Because the male urethra is long and curved, the resistance of urine passing through is large and takes a long time, the sexual life has just ended, the congestion of the penis cavernous body has not subsided, and the contraction of the urethral sphincter and detrusor has not been eliminated, which causes high resistance of the urethra, resulting in difficulty in urination, or even inability to urinate. If you are in a hurry to urinate at this time, it will increase the pressure inside the urethra, and urine containing bacteria and metabolic waste will flow back into the prostate. If this happens for a long time, it can easily lead to prostatitis. Experts suggest that it is best for men to rest for 5-10 minutes after ejaculation and urinate after the congestion disappears.
