Fetish Sex

"Golden shower" redirects here. For the Brazilian band, see Golden Shower (band)

Urolagnia (also known as urophilia or undinism) is a sexual fetish in which participants derive sexual pleasure from urine and urination. Urolagnia is sometimes associated with, or confused with, Omorashi.

People with urolagnia often like to urinate in public, or urinate on, or be urinated on by other people, and may drink the urine. The consumption of urine is urophagia. Some like to watch others doing these things. These activities are often described by the euphemisms "golden showers" or "watersports" (which should not be confused with water sports).

Some people drink large quantities of their own urine as alternative medicine. This is not the same as urolagnia.

[edit] Notable urophiliacs

* Havelock Ellis - British sexologist who was impotent until at age sixty he discovered that he was aroused by the sight of a woman urinating. Ellis is also notable for his attempt to prove that the painter Rembrandt also enjoyed the practice, claiming that it explained the golden tones in which paintings were suffused, and arguing that Rembrandt's picture "Bathsheba" originally depicted her urinating.
* Ricky Martin - Singer. Gave an interview with Blender Magazine in which he stated that he enjoyed giving "Golden Showers" "Yellow Rainbows"[1].
* Shirley Manson - Lead singer of the popular rock band Garbage. Was quoted in an interview as saying "I hate boys who are frightened of pee and shit and menstrual blood… I want a man who will let me pee in his belly button"[2]. The Garbage song "When I Grow Up" contains the lyrics "Happy Hours/Golden Showers"
* Annie Sprinkle - Multimedia performer and advocate for female sexual enjoyment. Her stage name is derived from her abilities with urination, notably the ability to turn herself into a human fountain.
* Ashley MacIsaac - Nova Scotian fiddler and singer. In 1996 he spoke with a Maclean's interviewer mentioning his sexual life, including his underage boyfriend and his taste for urolagnia. In 2003 he told an interviewer for the Montreal Mirror that he loves to have men urinate on him. [3]

[edit] Alleged urophiliacs

* Adolf Hitler - German Nazi party leader. Otto Strasser, an ex-Nazi leader with a grudge against Hitler, claimed that Hitler had an incestuous relationship with his niece Geli Raubal, and that Geli had once told him that Hitler liked to have her crouch over his face naked, urinating on him. No other source exists for this claim.[4]

* R. Kelly - R&B Singer, Songwriter and Producer. In 2002 a bootleg copy of a videotape was released to the Chicago Sun Times that showed an alleged Kelly engaging in many sexual acts, including urinating on the daughter of an associate and niece of a former Kelly protege who was 14 years old at the time. His defense claims it was not him in the tape. It was announced that during his child pornography trial that the tape will be played in public court. The start of the trial has been delayed many times.[5],[6].

* In the Canadian band The Hidden Cameras' song Golden Streams frontman and songwriter Joel Gibb appears to describe watersports. In the Hidden Cameras' live show for several years, yellow streamers were thrown into the audience to accompany the song. The song begins with what appears to be a description of the fear and discomfort the protagonist felt during a childhood episode of wetting himself on a cold winter's day, and ends in the triumphant recapture of the sensation in an adult homosexual context:

My golden wand waves down your golden rod
Our gold held high in sunny breezy sky
Then a stream of gold released from golden stone
erupts late at night and melts the winter ice

The golden streams
The golden streams

There are references to being urinated on in other Gibb songs from the same period. [7] Nonetheless, in recent interviews, Gibb has claimed that Golden Streams actually "isn't really about anything sexual - it's about building an architectural device to get to heaven using frozen piss." [8]

* Brian Eno Experimental musician and member of proto New Wave band Roxy Music in his diary A Year With Swollen Appendices; The Diary Of Brian Eno reportedly describes his interest in watersports. Reportedly there is widespread belief based on the diary is that his song Here Come the Warm Jets refers to the topic [2]. In fact, the album cover depicts an erotic playing card featuring a woman, assisted by a butler, squatting down to pee[3].

Health issues

Urophagia is generally considered harmless, as the urine of healthy individuals is sterile. However, a small risk exists if there is a disease present, or bacterial infection of the urethra. There may also be secondary effects, such as skin rashes in individuals sensitive to urine.

The main dangers are the high salt and mineral content. The high salt content usually does not pose a problem if the urine is sufficiently diluted and not consumed in mass quantities. The effect of the high salt may be mitigated by drinking some water after consuming urine. The urine may be diluted if the person whose urine will be consumed drinks some water (or diet soda, see below) an hour or so before the act. Many people into BDSM drink beer before the act because it dilutes any unpleasant chemicals in the urine, and alcohol acts as a diuretic, stimulating the body to excrete more urine than it normally would.

Since artificial sweeteners are excreted in urine, consuming artificial sweetener before urine play can lend a sweet taste to the urine. Drinking diet soda, or other beverages containing artificial sweetener, before urine play will have the dual effect of diluting the urine and sweetening it. However, if the taste of sugar is detected in an individual's urine, and it is known that artificial sweetener has not been consumed, this may be a sign of diabetes and a doctor should be consulted. Asparagus, on the other hand, gives urine an unpleasent smell with about 40%-79% of people. [1]

The participants should use caution or avoid drinking urine if one or both of them are taking vitamin or mineral supplements or medication, since many of these are excreted in urine.

Urine of persons who are ill, or regularly take medication, should generally not be consumed. In special cases (e.g. chronic illness of the partner), a medical doctor should be consulted to clarify whether the urine of the chronically ill or medicated person may be consumed without endangering one's health, or not.

If put through a house hold water filter, the urine will become odorless and taste much like water.

Luke Cummo, a martial artist, drinks his own urine.

[edit] Survival

It has been suggested that when a person is in desert survival or surrounded by salt water and devoid of drinking water that the person must resort to drinking his own urine if it is the only liquid available. This technique has been said to extend life from one to two extra days.[citation needed]

Contrary to that notion is that drinking urine may actually increase the speed of dehydration because of certain bodily toxins and salinity in the urine.[2]

Aron Ralston claims to have used the technique when trapped for several days with his arm under a boulder.[3]

[edit] Alternative medicine/Practices

Main article: Urine therapy

In countries such as India and China, it is considered normal by some groups to drink your own urine for health and cosmetic purposes. This health branch of drinking urine is considered to be labeled as Urine therapy. Also, an old method of teeth-whitening during the Renaissance involved the consumption of urine, though it needn't be, and wasn't always necessarily, that of the user.

Morarji Desai, former Prime Minister of India (1977-1979), practiced urine drinking.

Human toilet is the practice of defecating and/or urinating on someone as a BDSM practice, often on that person's face or in that person's mouth to simulate a toilet. This may or may not include some consumption of the material, consumption of which may carry health risks [1].

Specific human toilet furniture exists for use in the act. Human toilet furniture has some resemblance to smotherboxes and other queening stools used in face sitting. Human toilet furniture has often a different look. A standard toilet seat may be used, as a psychological hint for the intended use. While human toilet furniture with a low upper deck are very close to queening stools, the height of the deck varies. Thus body parts of human toilet furniture users may not even touch, while in case of queening stools such physical connection is a requisite.

Coprophilia (from Greek κόπρος, kópros - excrement and φιλία, filía - liking, fondness), also called scat,[1] is the paraphilia involving sexual pleasure from feces. [2][3]
