Urolagnia (also called urophilia) [Edit]

Urolagnia (also called urophilia) is a sexual fetish for urine. The term has origins in the Greek language (from ouron – urine, and lagneia – lust).

Watersports is slang for sexual activities involving urine, such as the activity golden shower, which is the practice of urinating on another person for sexual pleasure, or the activity urophagia, which is drinking urine (when done for sexual pleasure).

Urolagnia-Related Activities

Note that doing these activities in public is illegal in many places.

• Exhibitionism: Becoming noticeably desperate or wetting oneself with the express purpose of being seen by others. This is related to omorashi (Japanese: おもらし / オモラシ / お漏らし, “to wet oneself”), sometimes abbreviated as simply omo, which is a form of fetish subculture originating and predominately recognized in Japan, in which participants experience sexual arousal from having a full bladder or wetting themselves, wearing a diaper, or from seeing someone else experiencing a full bladder or wetting themselves.
• Golden shower: Urinating on another person for sexual pleasure.
• Human urinal: Some people desire to be used as a human urinal and some desire to use a human urinal. The practice routinely involves a person receiving much of the spray all over their face, hair and body; however, another way of doing this is for a person to place their mouth on the head of their partner’s penis (if they have one) and drink the urine as it is released. One other, less common variation of this kink involves the dominant partner urinating inside the submissive partner’s vagina (if they have one) or anus, which is usually followed up by the submissive partner ejecting the urine from their orifice(s).
• Smelling: Smelling body parts or objects that have been urinated on.
• Urophagia: Drinking urine.
• Voyeurism: Seeing another urinate.

Prevalence

Jennifer Eve Rehor of San Francisco State University pointed out that such data as exists on what she called “unconventional” or “kink” sexual behavior is generally problematic because of the way that it has been collected, through criminal and clinical case studies. Behavior that appears neither in criminal trials nor in clinical studies (for example, because the individuals concerned do not commonly seek professional help) is therefore under-reported. Rehor therefore surveyed 1,764 female participants in kink behavior (mostly association with BDSM) in 2010–11, receiving 1,580 valid responses. What Rehor calls “urine play” is relatively infrequent, with only 36.52% of her sample reporting having done it or having had it done to them. It is impossible to extrapolate Rehor’s data onto the general population, but her study does give a guide to prevalence in the North American BDSM community.

In Channel 4’s 2017 nationwide Great British Sex survey, watersports was ranked ninth in popularity among sexual fetishes in the UK.
