We’ve all been on a road trip, holding it in until the panic peaks. No exit in sight. Then, a bathroom! As relief floods in, it’s strangely replaced by deep pleasure. You’ve just had a “peegasm”.
Is a peegasm the same as squirting?
You might be thinking, "Isn't peeing during sex just squirting?"
Many people still doubt whether squirting is even real, or if it's just a stunt in unrealistic porn scenes. It is real, and it is not the same as peeing.
For an estimated 10–54% of women, squirting is a normal part of sex, but that doesn't mean they're peeing. While the fluid released during squirting does contain some urine, that's not its only component.
When someone squirts, they expel liquid from their urethra. This liquid is largely made up of urine, but it also contains fluid from the Skene's glands, which are sometimes considered the "female prostate."
While orgasmic incontinence can feel like a loss of control, many people who squirt have some control over it and describe it as a pleasurable "release."
"Pee Kinks"
Pee play, often known as "golden showers," is the act of urinating on or in front of your partner.
The fact that so many people experience pleasure while they pee (whether or not they're having sex) makes it easy to understand why people would engage in pee play.
People engage in pee play for many different reasons. For some, it's about vulnerability; for others, it's the taboo nature; and for some, it's a visual representation of their partner's pleasure.
If you do want to try out pee play, be sure to discuss it with your partner and have enthusiastic consent from all parties involved. You'll also want to plan the best way to minimize mess (or have a good cleanup plan in place).
While there's nothing wrong with occasionally enjoying the sensation of peeing or accidentally (or purposefully) peeing during sex, you should take steps to keep your bladder and the rest of your urinary tract healthy and free from harmful bacteria.
If you're looking for new ways to experience pleasure, the world is your oyster! There are plenty of practices you can explore that don't compromise your health.
