IS SWALLOWING URINE SAFE?

QUESTION
My bf has been swallowing my urine. It really turns him on. Is this safe for him? I am HIV and STD free. Thanks.

ANSWER
Generally speaking, if the condom is placed on the penis, and inserted into the vagina, it will stay in place as long as he is erect, leaving his hands free to move on to other things. On some occasion if air was not removed before putting on the condom or the condom was not rolled down the entire length of the penis, it could roll and slip off. Another situation where it might come off is with too much lubricant being used or after ejaculation when he is losing his erection.

Water sports, including swallowing urine, can be a erotic and fun sexual activity for some people. Normal urine is sterile and contains no germs. Water sports are safe if the person urinating has no chronic infections. Urine can carry Hepatitis A and B; however, and hepatitis could be spread that way. On the other hand, there have been no documented cases of someone getting HIV from urine. In any case, make sure you continue to get tested for all STDs regularly if you're sexually active.

To your health,
Dr. K
