Just speaking of peeing.
Isn't that wild?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I've myself, I've been through a few UTIs when I was younger and I was like, I do not want that to happen again.
So yeah, I suppose for anyone listening again, vagina and urethra next to our neighbours, right next to each other.
So if you're having sex, any kind of sex,
Like if you're touching yourself down there, again, something's going inside the vagina.
I think even like shaving, like anything where you're around the vulva area, bacteria can pass into the urethra.
That can cause a urinary tract infection.
But if you pee as soon as you can afterwards...
like not necessarily immediately, it depends on the person.
Some people are very prone to UTIs, but it helps to flush out any bacteria that's passed in.
It's quite common.
I've been asked this a lot.
There is an official term called post-coital dysphoria.
But really, when we think of sex, sex is very intimate.
It's very vulnerable, especially if you've had an orgasm, there can be a sense of release.
And our bodies are emotional.
You know, our emotions aren't just in our mind, they're in our bodies as well.
So sometimes after sex or after an orgasm, you could feel really emotional.
