The question that always comes up first in any discussion about watersports is: isn’t it unhealthy. Or isn’t it dirty?

“Dirty” is of course a personal qualification that varies from person to person.

The standard answer to the health-question is: in principle urine is not hazardous to your health, provided it comes from a completely healthy body and certain precautions are taken.

Urine is mostly water. Besides that, it contains all sorts of mainly leftovers of nutrients that your body does not need (at that time). In general these are the following:

• Soluble minerals, excess quantities of nutrients, predominantly salt and some some magnesium, calcium, potassium, and phosphate.

• Nitrogenous material, primarily urea.

• Creatinine, a complex compound which contributes heavily to both the color and odor of the urine.

• Uric acid and ammonia. These two components are toxic, but not in the very small quantities they are present in urine. Ammonia also is an important component of the specific urine odor.

• Water-soluble elements and compounds, again excess quantities of your bodies need at that time. These may be vitamins, like C and B-complex and other vitamins or food-additives you have taken in, present in excess quantities.

• Food components your body simply does not need such as natural or artificial coloring and flavoring agents, as well as aspartame (excess quantities of products like Sweet & Low or Nutrasweet – the more diet or low calorie products you eat or drink the, the more will be there).

• Degradation products of food compounds , such as methylthiol.

• Toxins that you consumed earlier, or their degradation products. These may be things like alcohol, caffeine and (important to remember) recreational drugs.

• Blood protein in small quantities.

• Dead cells from your bladder and urethra linings.

• Semen, always available in male urine, although in higher quantities after sexual activity; in female urine only directly after intercourse.

• Hormones, all sorts of them, including male/female sex hormones.

Now, especially if biology wasn’t your favorite at school this may sound weird and dangerous, this is what it boils down to in simple terms. All of this is either non-toxic at all or at least not in the quantities represented here. However, should you (accidentally or intentionally) swallow quantities of urine it is wise to help your kidneys, that – as a result of – this will get an overdose of elements and need to do quite a bit of overtime to dispose of them again. The solution is to drink extra water. Plain old water in large quantities. That way you will help and protect your kidneys (although these will not be harmed in any way by an accidental drip or even mug full of urine).

Illness, Medication and Pregnancy

If your partner is on any form of medication or pregnant, things become different. Excess quantities of medicine will be disposed of mainly via the urine, so any intake of urine will also contain small quantities of this medicine or components of it. If the medication was just a simple over-the-counter pain killer – no problem but if it is a more serious drug, the general advice is not to enter into watersports games. That also goes for situations where any of the “giving” partner has any form of disease and in that case it does not only relate to the intake of urine. Diseases may also be spread via infection through small wounds, body openings and the eyes.

During pregnancy a female’s urine will contain an absolute overdose of sex hormones. These are harmless. But there will also be extras of many of the above mentioned elements and compounds as well as possibly some extra blood. Again the advice is, play safe and refrain from watersports games during pregnancy.

Urine should not contain blood sugar (glucose) in any but minute amounts. If someone’s urine is discernibly sweet, barring him or her having consumed an artificial sweetener, that person ought to see a doctor. Tasting urine is the oldest way to determine diabetes. If this is the case, please do two things: one is to see a doctor as soon as possible. Secondly, turn to our advanced safety guide (also part of the Private Dungeon) for information on diabetes and erotic power exchange.

Finally; urine should also not contain blood or pus. That again is a signal to go and see your doctor immediately.

Safe Sex

Important things first: watersports is NO game for incidental contacts, one night stands and other contacts with partners you are not absolutely certain about. If someone is zero-positive (carrier of the HIV-virus) the virus will also be in his/her urine and is hence a source for infection.

Next to this, certain sexually transmitted diseases (STD) are also spread through urine. The most well known one in this area is hepatitis in all varieties.

In general: watersports are just as safe or unsafe (depending on the way you look at things) as unprotected lovemaking. If you are uncertain about your partner or haven’t known him/her long enough, refrain from any activities that incorporate any direct contact with urine. This is also important to remember if either of you has or has had sexual contacts outside your relationship.

Never insert foreign objects into anybody’s urinal system. You will run a serious risk of doing severe damage if you do. This is especially important for catheters. Unless you have been taught how to do this (as in, you are a doctor or a qualified nurse) stay away from this, no matter what especially pornography may tell or show you.

Finally, a word of advice on being clean. Inserting dirty hands or toys may lead to very nasty infections. For information on this, please refer to the advanced safety guide.
