Not long ago, anal sex sat at the edge of polite talk; now anal play turns up in advice columns and sexual fantasies in the bedrooms without much fuss. The new whisper is piss play. People also call it golden showers, watersports, water sports, or urophilia. At heart, it means using urine for sexual pleasure with a partner—being peed on, peeing on someone, or drinking urine. The headline asks a blunt question many sexual partners are quietly debating: is piss play the new anal?

What Counts as Piss Play?

Piss play is any erotic act centermeed on urine. A classic golden shower is simple: one person urinates on another. Some prefer the chest or stomach; others like a warm stream near the mouth. A few try drinking urine in a small amount, and a very small minority experiment with peeing into the vagina or anus.

In kink scenes, piss kink often lives inside BDSM or bdsm dynamics involving power, humiliation, or losing control. Outside those circles, the shower is the most practical stage; it keeps urine off fabrics and makes cleanup fast.

Curiosity is wider than people admit. Surveys note interest among men and women; plenty of folks hold sexual fantasies they never mention out loud. That gap between private fantasies and public silence is where this fetish keeps growing.

 

Why Piss Play Attracts People

There are many reasons people feel drawn to golden showers. First is the taboo. Bodily fluids are “private,” something for the bathroom, not the bedroom. Crossing that line flips shame into something sexy. The very sense of doing what’s “wrong” can heighten sexual arousal and make the scene feel thrilling in the moment.

Power matters, too. Marking a lover can broadcast control, while submitting to be soaked can feel intimate and vulnerable. For some, losing control is the point: the urge to urinate becomes the engine of the act, and surrender feels hot rather than scary.

Others chase sensation—the warmth on skin, the uniquely primal closeness of sharing a fluid from the body. When hydrated, pee tends to have a milder smell and taste, which many find easier to enjoy. All of that can draw people closer, deepening intimacy and strengthening the relationship.

Finally, watersports can just be fun. In real life, giggles don’t ruin a scene; they relax it. That mix of playfulness and heat is part of why watersports stick in memory.

Where and How People Actually Play

Most first-timers start in the shower. One partner stands while the other releases; everything rinses away immediately. Many consider that setup “golden showers safe” because urine exposure stays on the skin and cleanup is built-in. Trailside also works if it’s private; fresh air disperses smell. Indoors, people put a protector on the bed or even the couch to keep things wet but manageable.

Mouth play raises intensity. A glancing stream across the lips or into the mouth turns up the dial for some. If someone is drinking, the giver should drink water first so the taste is mild. The receiver should keep quantities modest and skip the practice entirely if there are open wounds, sore gums, or other health concerns.

For a different flavor, omorashi centers on holding until you can’t wait and then soaking yourself on purpose; that deliberate losing control is the spark.

Mutual golden showers are common in piss play. Two partners may urinate on each other, trading dominance for symmetry. Some guys treat it like a prank. Some women treat it like a private ritual. Either way, it’s the same play: warm, messy, and memorable.

Safety, Hygiene, and Sexual Health

Here’s the straight truth for sexual health: urine is not sterile. It can contain bacteria, and in some cases, harmful bacteria. Skin contact is usually low risk, but internal exposure or big gulps can raise infection risk. Keep eyes out of the line of fire. Keep open wounds covered. If anyone has a UTI, fever, or feels off, skip the scene.

Hydration helps everything. When the giver has been drinking water, pee runs clearer with a lighter smell and taste. That’s friendlier for drinking urine and easier on noses and linens. Use a shower or tile floor when you can. If you move to the bed, protect the mattress first. Afterward, wash the body, shampoo hair if needed, and wipe surfaces so your life outside the scene doesn’t carry a ghost of yesterday’s fun.

Internal experiments deserve extra caution. Urinating into a vaginal canal or rectum can introduce bacteria and lead to infections. Even with condoms, it’s a higher risk option; many couples simply pass. If you explore, keep it rare, keep volumes small, and keep cleanup immediate. The idea may be hotter than the outcome—example: warm fullness sounds exciting, but expelling it cleanly can be awkward. Choose what serves pleasure, not pressure.

And always talk. Negotiation before play, check-ins during, and aftercare afterward make scenes extra safe. If someone can’t urinate on cue, breathe and wait. If anyone feels uneasy or aroused beyond their comfort, pause. Consent isn’t one word; it’s a conversation you maintain.

Piss Play vs Anal Play

Anal is more common than watersports, but they rhyme. Both involve bodily fluids, prep, and trust. Anal focuses on nerves around the ass and anus; to keep it comfortable you need lube and patience. Use plenty of lube for anal play to reduce tearing, and use a condom to keep fecal bacteria where it belongs. Those basics turn anal into an act that many couples enjoy.

By comparison, golden showers on skin tend to be a lower risk than unprotected anal, though neither is risk-free. The popular belief that urine is perfectly clean isn’t accurate; respect the fluid and manage urine exposure smartly. Think practical: standing in a shower, rinsing promptly, and keeping quantities modest if drinking.

Will watersports duplicate anal’s cultural arc? Maybe not straight away. Yet visibility is rising, and curiosity follows visibility. That’s how taboos soften.

Piss Play, Language, and Culture

Labeling the pee play clearly helps partners choose. Some call it piss play, some watersports (or water sports), some golden showers; the words themselves can be sexy for people who love verbal play. For others, the turn-on is tactile: warmth on skin, the hothush of the bathroom, the shared joke when something splashes the wrong spot. Naming what you want keeps everyone aligned.

Bodies vary, and so do penises. Erect folks sometimes struggle to urinate during sex; that’s a physiological quirk, not a failure. If it happens, drink water, relax, and give it another minute. When bladders are filled, release is easier. If the scene blends with oral sex, a quick rinse keeps things comfortable. If you like mixing fluids, some people enjoy a finale with cum after a rinse; others don’t. Choose the version that actually feels good.

A Few Grounded Realities

Fantasy often outruns real life. You may picture cinematic cascades and end up with a shy trickle. You might expect instant heat and instead get nerves. That’s normal. The idea can be hotter than the first attempt; try again later or let it remain a private set of fantasies. If it excites you both, great. If not, that’s equally valid. Kink should serve the people doing it, not the performance.

Also remember: trying golden showers doesn’t define your sexuality. People across identities, including women and men, play with it. Some do it once, and some make it a ritual. Some will try it once and drop it entirely. The only rule worth keeping is honest talk with the partner you trust.

 

So… Is Piss Play the New Anal?

Not quite, but it’s clearly shifting from scandal to curiosity. Anal became ordinary because couples learned, prepped, and talked. Watersports may stay niche, yet with better advice, more conversations, and thoughtful consent, more people will be willing to sample it.

If the idea excites you, start in the shower, keep the scene wet but contained, and manage urine wisely.

In the end, the only measure that matters is whether you and your partner enjoy the act you choose. Keep it hot, keep it humane, keep it clean—and keep it yours.
