Let's dive into the (quietly) popular world of urolagnia, also known as “piss play”, “watersports”, or “golden shower”, or simply: the inclination to derive sexual excitement from the idea of urination. It's a versatile and relatively safe kink that's easily explored in the comfort of your own home. Curious? Let's examine what it entails, why it appeals to some, and how to approach it safely.
The Appeal of Pee
While not everyone’s cup of, well, pee, urolagnia happens to be one of Australia’s favourite fetishes. So why do so many of us choose to enter the watersports arena?
The simplest appeal lies in urine's similarity to other bodily fluids associated with sex, such as ejaculate or squirting. Since urine comes from someone's body, specifically their genitals, and is at body temperature, being covered in it or engaging with it can actually feel like a moment of deep closeness or intimacy. Like a warm hug, in liquid form.
Urinating on someone can also symbolise dominance and submission, catering to those interested in BDSM role-plays involving power, control, or punishment. Within the realm of BDSM, piss play can also fulfil masochistic and sadistic fantasies, blending pain with pleasure. While physical sensations like spanking or whipping are often associated with BDSM, arousal can also arise from emotional sensations like shame or humiliation. And because urine is perceived as dirty, it becomes a powerful tool for degradation kinks too.
Variations of Piss Play
Just as there is a long list of sexual motivations, there are also numerous ways you may want to practise piss play. Here are a select few, ranging from the tame to the more adventurous:
Golden Shower: The act of urinating on someone or being urinated on.
Golden Gaze: Watching or being watched during urination. (This is a voyeuristic role-play scenario, so consent is crucial. No peeping, unless invited!)
Soaked Sensation: Keeping your clothes on during piss play, so they get soiled, fulfilling fantasies of humiliation and degradation.
Piss Pants: Embracing the feeling of losing control and finding pleasure in intentionally wetting yourself or watching others do so.
Toilet Taboo: Being used as a human urinal or toilet, directing urine at the face, mouth, or body. This is a variation within the BDSM realm and another type of degradation fantasy.
Golden Guide
With the basics covered, let’s talk about safety - of yourself, others and your furniture. Here are our top tips for a safe and clean foray into watersports:
- Communication and consent. Make sure everyone involved sets and understands clear boundaries before you get started.
- Be careful to avoid contact with open wounds or sensitive areas to prevent infections.
- Stay hydrated for a clearer and longer flow. You may call it a 'golden shower,' but really, you're aiming for a clear-ish yellow stream.
- If you're into consuming urine, remember that regular consumption can lead to health issues.
- Engaging in piss play in the bath or shower can make cleanup easier, but if you’re set on venturing outside the bathroom, consider investing in waterproof materials to protect your bedding and furniture.
We live in a multifaceted world of sexual expression with acts that may intrigue some and repulse others. The allure of piss play, specifically, lies not only in its physical sensations but also in its ability to fulfil emotional and psychological desires, such as intimacy, dominance, submission, and degradation. And if everyone’s into it - we say go for it.
