Peegasms: What causes orgasm while peeing and urination while orgasming

By

on

An orgasm is a sensation that is usually experienced after sexual arousal. It happens when a buildup of tension and desire are suddenly released. This wave of feeling is pleasurable for many.


What is a peegasm?​

As the name suggests, peegasm involves a link between urination and orgasm. While urinating can make you feel relaxed and relieved, especially if your bladder was full or near full, orgasming while urinating is not typical. As per health experts, orgasming while peeing is not inherently dangerous. However, you may develop health problems if you hold pee for too long on a regular basis.

Causes of orgasming while peeing​

Peegasms may occur when the full bladder presses against erogenous zones like the urethral sponge and the clitoris. Now when you urinate, releasing this pressure may stimulate nerves in these areas, leading to an orgasm.

A peegasm may also occur if you are already aroused when urinating. This can happen if someone goes to the bathroom during sex. A person may orgasm if they urinate shortly after masturbation, when their genitals are still sensitive.

​Health risks of holding your pee​

Occasionally holding in pee for a short period of time, such as due to lack of availability of a washroom, is unlikely to harm a person. However, it is not safe to hold in pee for prolonged periods on a frequent basis. This can increase your risk of developing urinary tract infections (UTIs), stretched bladder and kidney stones. You may also develop urinary incontinence, which means leaking urine by accident.

Causes of urinating while orgasming​

Peegasms may also happen the other way around, in which a person leaks urine by accident when they orgasm, such as during sex. The medical term for this is orgasmic incontinence.

The urine leak during orgasmic incontinence may involve a few drops or a more considerable amount. Some potential causes of orgasmic incontinence include urinary incontinence and having a urinary tract infection. For those having a UTI, increased tension and pressure during sex may cause some people to urinate before or during an orgasm.

When to see a doctor​

Those you deliberately hold in urine to experience orgasm are putting their health at risk and are recommended to see their doctor or a sex-positive therapist. People who routinely urinate during an orgasm should also consider consulting a doctor to diagnose any potential underlying health issue that may be causing it.
