Does holding urine before sex make sex more enjoyable?

Reader Mr. Cao asked: An article said that if men hold their urine appropriately, they will have stronger sexual sensations. Is this method feasible? Is it suitable for everyone?

Answer: Clinical studies have found that for some elderly men with poor erectile function, holding urine appropriately can improve erectile function. This may be because the filling of the bladder with urine has a certain stimulating effect on it. However, for people with normal erectile function, it is not recommended and there is no need to deliberately hold urine. And if you endure it forcibly, there may be side effects.

The male external genitalia has two functions: one is to excrete urine, and the other is to excrete semen. The two functions are controlled by a valve, which either opens the valve to allow urine to be discharged, or closes the valve to allow semen to be discharged. Normally, this outlet is only responsible for the excretion of urine, and there is no contradiction. However, when sexually excited, if there is urine in the bladder, there is a question of which one to discharge first. If you hold your urine during sex, the full bladder will press on the congested organs around the genitals, which can easily induce prostate disease.

In addition, if you feel the urge to defecate during sex, it will distract your attention and affect the quality of your sex life. Therefore, it is best to empty your bowels before sex.
