Sexpert: THE GOLDEN QUESTION

Dear Shanna –

I’ve been hearing some conversations at the local club about water sports. Are water sports safe, and what type of protection should I use if I want to try them? Anything else I need to know before I get involved?

Dear Wet and Wild –

I’m guessing that when you talk about water sports, you’re not referring to taking a jet ski out on the Cherry Creek Reservoir, or having a chicken fight in the hot springs. (If this IS what you’re talking about, you’ve written to the
wrong columnist!)

Water sports, in a sexual sense, is the act of consensually urinating on someone, being urinated on by someone else, or otherwise engaging in sexual play that involves the use of urine. Yes, some people really enjoy this, others are curious and into exploring it, and some folks are just not that into it. Regardless of where you stand on the golden flow, there are some things you should know.

Urine itself, assuming no one has an infection of any sort, is sterile. As in you can actually drink it in a pinch to rehydrate (say you’re on a desert island), and it can, in fact, help neutralize the pain of jellyfish stings. However, in a sexual context, urine-play is likely to be connected with other genital play, so while it is sterile, you and your partner(s) should have a conversation about what safer sex looks like and how you’ll be practicing it, regardless of the activity.

Being interested in water sports is no different than being interested in the plethora of other sexual activities out there; just because someone likes water sports doesn’t mean he/she wants to be spanked, and someone can enjoy peeing on people and also be into licking someone else’s boots. One does not lead to another, nor are they mutually exclusive.

If you are going to try things out, make sure whomever is doing the peeing is well-hydrated (you don’t want a big build up leading to a let down), and consider starting in a bathtub or shower for easy clean up. Puppy pads (sold at the grocery or pet store) also can allow for water sports adventures in any room of your house or dungeon without staining the carpet or creating a need to mop the tiles.

And if you try it and don’t like it, that’s okay too. Just check it off of your list of sexual adventures, and start focusing on something else interesting and exciting. Who knows – this could be your new favorite thing!

 Best of luck!
