ICcode for "Watersports"

[b]Urolagnia[/b] (also known as [b]urophilia[/b]) is a [about=paraphilia]paraphilia[/about] involving sexual attraction to [about=urine]urine[/about].

People with urolagnia often like to urinate in public, or urinate on, or be urinated on by, other people, and may drink the urine. Some like to watch others doing these things. These activities are often described by the euphemisms "[b]golden showers[/b]" or "[b]watersports[/b]". 

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

In the absence of STDs, urine is generally safe to drink in small quantities.  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.  One may also wish to drink some water after consuming urine in order to mitigate the effect of the high salt.  The person whose urine will be consumed may also wish to drink some water (or diet soda, see below) several hours before the act in order to dilute the urine.

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 artifical sweetener, before urine play will have the dual effect of diluting the urine and sweetening it.  However, if you taste sugar in you or your partner's urine and you or your partner have not consumed artificial sweetener, this may be a sign of diabetes and you should see a doctor.

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.
