“Watersports” is a euphemism for the use of urine in an erotic setting. In more medical terms, the phenomena is known as urolagnia (lust for urine) or urophilia. Pornography – in its constant urge to oversimplify eroticism and sexual behavior with simple but generally useless one-liners – usually describes it as “pissex”.

There are various forms and very different cultural connotations when it comes to watersports. We will concentrate on both the intimacy many people feel when it comes to this subject and, of course, on the power dynamics, watersports can have. In itself watersports is not an erotic play form restricted to erotic power exchange. Just like for example cross-dressing, gender bending and various fetishes, it is a “borrowed” kink used to express power dynamics when placed in an EPE setting.

Peeing In The Shower

Be honest with yourself. How long has it been since you urinated in the shower or bath (or while swimming)? Chances are – if you are really honest to yourself – it has been less than a month (maybe even yesterday, or just this morning) for many and less than a few month ago for even more.

More importantly: why did you do it? Was it too much trouble to step out of the bath for a quick pee? Or couldn’t you really hold it any longer? That to most people is the politically correct excuse. But, whenever you are in a bath or shower the nearest toilet usually isn’t that far away. In fact, you probably only had to turn around and take one or two steps to pee in the toilet. But you didn’t. And why not?

If the above does not appeal to you, let’s ask another question. Did you ever have an almost orgasmic sensation when peeing? Didn’t that feel just as good or maybe even better? Why do you think so many people make the most interesting sounds on the toilet when urinating? Sighs of relief, sighs of relaxation. Well, there is your answer: sometimes it just feels good just to let go and – in the event of doing it under the shower – not having to worry about finding finding a suitable receptacle or undoing clothing and just to close your eyes and feeling the urine flow through the same organs you use for lovemaking feels even better.

And about swimming? Are you really going to tell yourself you have never ever been in the sea, a lake, river or maybe even a swimming pool and never ever at least felt the urge to simply let go and when you did, did you experience the slight tingling sensation at the same time carefully looking around, making sure nobody would see you? And are you sure you do not see the resemblance to masturbating in a semi-public area, or making love together in a place where you might be spotted by others (like the backseat of your car, in the park at night, on the beach or standing waist-high in the ocean)? Familiar feeling, isn’t it? And very remarkable similarities?

Feeling ashamed already? Maybe blushing? That’s nothing new. Watersports is a taboo. But then again, so is erotic power exchange in many ways. So is anal sex to many people. Or fisting, or … well, you name it.

So if there is at least an erotic/sexual connotation to peeing – not always of course but sometimes – is it really that strange to want to share this is some way with your partner? Mind you, you don’t have to rush of and start peeing on each other. That is not what this is about. You can do it, of course, but you don’t HAVE to. Like in all other aspects of erotic power exchange, many different roads lead to Rome. There are all sorts of ways and techniques to go about this. Like simply watching each other, or talking about it, or using her urge to urinate but not (yet) allowing her to relieve herself. Or telling her to do it is a semi-public place, like behind the bushes in the park or wherever. All of that is watersports. Depending on the setting it can either be exciting, slightly humiliating, embarrassing or extremely erotic.

Our Limited Way To Express Ourselves

Throughout the ages the human race has always had a problem with talking about the organs that we use for various different things. Our hands can work, caress, hit, squeeze and even kill. Still, we call them hands and do not feel ashamed to talk about them. We do not cover them (unless they are at risk of freezing of course). Feet can walk, run, kick and make you very rich if you are a football player, for example. Regardless the purpose we use them for, we still call them feet. Ever since we learned to think and as civilization progressed, one set of organs somehow has become increasingly difficult to talk about: the ones that are amongst the most basic and important ones when it comes to making sure mankind will be there in the next generation as well: the penis and vagina.

Our genitals (sex organs) have three different but very important functions: reproduction, discharge of rest products from our internal chemical plant called metabolism and fun (intentionally meant as stress relief). Ergo – we are talking multi-purpose organs here and it is not a coincidence these functions are combined in one and the same organ. It is not only handy, the combination is biologically speaking intentional. By making the discharge process a relatively pleasant experience it is simply easier to discharge and hence a big incentive to keep the process going.

Society has been enormously effective in trying to turn these three very fundamental as well as useful and necessary processes into something people should feel ashamed about. It is seen as dirty. Well, here is some news for you. About ninety percent what you eat every day contains residues of plain and simple shit. You don’t believe that? Here we go: vegetables grow thanks to, amongst other things, fertilizers. That can be something we have a nice euphemism for: natural fertilizer: that is is plain and simple bullshit (in the most literal sense of the word).

“Artificial” fertilizer (“chemical fertilizer”) may also very well be shit. It is called guana and is nothing else but the excrement that millions of seagulls and other birds drop on South American cliffs every day. Bird droppings as you may know, are a bit different from human excrements in that they are both “products” in one.

Want more and maybe a bit more direct? Do you like liver? The liver is the pre-production organ for urine. And what do you think is responsible for the specific taste of steak and kidney pie? Right. Urine. Plain and simple urine.

Some medicine – especially hormones that improve female fertility – are derived from human urine (more specifically, the urine of pregnant women). So if you already eat it in some form anyway, why be so damn ashamed about your own “product” as well as the emotions and the nice physical sensations that go with it. Doesn’t really make sense, does it?

The human race is extremely limited in expressing itself when it comes to the use of these important organs and the “products” the produce. That limitation has lead to probably an entire dictionary of words and expressions that all only have one and the same purpose: try and hide the principal functions.

The penis has a variety of names, some of which are extremely humorous, such as the still remaining European habit to call a penis a “sword” and the vagina a “sheath” (as if these organs were meant to kill instead of create), not to mention the creativity especially mothers display when it comes to finding words for what their little babies do in their diapers.

It is exactly this hypocrisy that forms the basic imprint for the shame people will experience later when it comes to talking about some of their very basic physical functions. Americans for example very often call a toilet “the bathroom”, regardless of the fact that there is hardly ever a bath or shower in sight. In general, this idiocy goes as far as the simple indication of what gender should be in what room (“ladies” and “gents”). Nobody asks the question “a ladies’ what?”

A Few Notes On Culture

Different people have different connotations with watersports. It is important to find these out through good and intense communication. Like for example anal sex, watersports is one of these areas where very intense emotions come into play. Shame and desire, for example, may fight intensely for the first place on the emotional top ten. Let us give you an indication of the different connotations people may have. This is not a complete listing, just an overview to give you an idea of the things, people may or may not consider important.

The Fountain

One of the common connotations is generally spoken about in terms of a fountain. The idea is that urine is filtered from the blood and hence contains the fluids and leftover nutrients from all parts of the body, “the sweat of the soul” as some like to call it. In this light it is seen as gift of yourself to your partner.

Embarrassment

Especially having to urinate with your partner looking on, or maybe even “inspecting” may feel embarrassing. But, it is just as important to understand that even having to talk about the fantasy or the feelings may be an embarrassment. Embarrassment may be improved by, for example, letting your partner wait and maybe ask or beg for relief. Having to wrestle with the need to relief but not being allowed can be a very intense form of play.

Humiliation

In the context of oriental techniques, such as Japanese bondage, having to urinate with somebody watching is considered humiliating. This may also go for having to receive urine on your body, being ordered to drink it or being compelled in some way to “pee in your pants.”

Infantilism

Diaper play and forms of nursing that incorporate watersports are relatively uncommon in the Maledom/femsub culture, but it does exist.

Power
To some doms, urinating on the body of his sub can be an immense power kick (although other activities will also produce this kick, as well) and they may experience feelings as described in “The Fountain”.
