When the summer heat makes everything feel sticky and uncomfortable, some couples choose to cool off in a different kind of wet play. We’re not talking about pool dives or beach waves — this is watersports, also known as golden showers or piss play. This fetish revolves around erotic enjoyment of urination, whether giving, receiving, or simply being aroused by the act itself.
What Are Water Sports?
In a sexual context, water sports refer to any activity involving urine that creates arousal, intimacy, or enjoyment between partners. For many, it’s about more than just bodily fluids — it’s about the connection between partners and the unique sensations pee play can bring.
Physiologically, urination and ejaculation in men produce very similar sensations, as both involve the urethra. This overlap can blur mental associations and fuel the arousal behind water sports. For women, the act of urinating engages the urethra surrounded by sensitive tissue, which can also create stimulating feelings when paired with sexual intimacy.
Golden Showers Explained
The term golden shower is commonly used to describe erotic urination — having one partner pee on the other, either for physical stimulation, humiliation play, or sheer kinky fun. For some, it’s about the raw, taboo-breaking thrill; for others, it complements BDSM by enhancing the power exchange between Dominant and submissive partners.
Piss Play in BDSM
Golden showers can fit seamlessly into power dynamics. A Dominant may decide when, how, and on whom the act happens, using it as a form of control and ownership. Conversely, a submissive might find deep enjoyment in the vulnerability or degradation of being exposed to their partner’s urine. Whether it’s psychological play, physical pleasure, or both, water sports can be adapted to different kink preferences.
Is It Safe?
In general, urine is considered sterile when it leaves the body of a healthy individual, but there are still safety considerations. Risk levels depend on where the urine is directed, the health of those involved, and overall hygiene practices.
Safety Tips for Golden Showers
- Avoid contact with open cuts or wounds
- Do not engage if anyone has a urinary tract infection
- Keep urine away from eyes, nose, and mouth to prevent irritation or infection
- Wash thoroughly after play
- Always get enthusiastic consent and set boundaries beforehand
- Choose a location that’s easy to clean and comfortable for both partners
Final Thoughts
Water sports may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for those intrigued by taboo or looking for new intimacy experiences, golden showers can be fun, deeply erotic, and even empowering. As with all kinks, safety, communication, and consent are the golden rules to follow.
