'''Urethral Intercourse''', also known as '''coitus per urethram''', involves the sexual penetration of the female urethra by an object, such as a penis or a finger. Distinct from urethral sounding, which involves the insertion of specialized medical tools into the urethra for sexual or fetishistic activity, urethral intercourse is a less common and less understood form of sexual activity. Due to its potential health risks, it is approached with caution in medical and health communities.

== Health Implications ==
== Anatomy and Physiology ==
The female urethra is significantly shorter than its male counterpart, making it more susceptible to infections and injuries. Engaging in urethral intercourse can lead to several health issues, including:
* Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
* Urethral injuries or tears
* Increased risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs)


=== Risk Factors ===
The urethra is a part of both the [[urinary system]] and, in males, the [[reproductive system]]. In females, the urethra is significantly shorter, measuring approximately 4 cm in length, and opens above the vaginal opening. In males, the urethra is longer, approximately 20 cm, and passes through the [[penis]].
* Lack of lubrication can cause friction and microabrasions.
* The introduction of bacteria into the urinary tract.
* Potential for damaging sensitive urethral tissues.


== Safety and Precautions ==
The primary function of the urethra is to transport urine from the [[bladder]] to the external urethral orifice. In males, it also serves as a conduit for [[semen]] during ejaculation. The urethral lining is delicate and not designed to accommodate penetration, which can lead to potential health risks.
Due to the potential for injury and infection, individuals considering this form of sexual activity should take several precautions:
* Thoroughly discuss consent, comfort levels, and safety with all parties involved.
* Consider the health risks and consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
* Use ample lubrication to minimize friction and reduce the risk of injury.
* Prioritize hygiene to lower the risk of infections.


== Urethral Sounding vs. Urethral Intercourse ==
== Health Risks ==
While both involve the urethra, urethral sounding is a separate activity often involving specialized tools designed for safe insertion into the urethra. These activities are distinct both in their execution and in the communities that practice them.


== Medical Perspective ==
Engaging in urethral intercourse can pose several health risks, including:
Medical professionals typically advise against urethral intercourse due to the high risk of injury and infection. If an individual experiences symptoms such as pain, bleeding, or signs of infection following such activity, they should seek medical attention promptly.


== Conclusion ==
* [[Urinary tract infections]] (UTIs) due to the introduction of bacteria into the urethra.
Urethral intercourse is a complex and risky form of sexual activity with significant health implications. Individuals interested in exploring this form of intimacy should proceed with caution, informed consent, and awareness of the potential health risks involved.
* [[Urethral trauma]] or injury, which can result in pain, bleeding, or scarring.
* Increased risk of [[sexually transmitted infections]] (STIs) if proper protection is not used.

Urethral Intercourse[edit]

Diagram of the female reproductive system, showing the urethra.

Urethral intercourse refers to the insertion of an object, typically a penis, into the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. This practice is considered a form of sexual activity and is distinct from more common forms of intercourse such as vaginal intercourse or anal intercourse.

Anatomy and Physiology[edit]

The urethra is a part of both the urinary system and, in males, the reproductive system. In females, the urethra is significantly shorter, measuring approximately 4 cm in length, and opens above the vaginal opening. In males, the urethra is longer, approximately 20 cm, and passes through the penis.

The primary function of the urethra is to transport urine from the bladder to the external urethral orifice. In males, it also serves as a conduit for semen during ejaculation. The urethral lining is delicate and not designed to accommodate penetration, which can lead to potential health risks.

Health Risks[edit]

Engaging in urethral intercourse can pose several health risks, including:

Medical professionals generally advise against urethral intercourse due to these potential complications.

Cultural and Social Aspects[edit]

Urethral intercourse is not a widely practiced or socially accepted form of sexual activity. It is often considered a form of sexual fetishism or paraphilia. Discussions about urethral intercourse are typically limited to specific communities or forums that explore unconventional sexual practices.
