Holding in your pee to achieve a sensational relief or orgasmic sensation might sound intriguing, but is it safe? Peegasm, a viral trend among women on Reddit, involves delaying urination to experience pleasurable sensations, has sparked debates on whether it’s a risky move that could lead to serious health consequences. In this article, we delve into the science behind peegasm, its risks, and potential effects on your bladder and sexual health.

What is a Peegasm?

The human body is complex and full of surprises. Holding your pee for a long time can increase the tension in your bladder, which may cause a pleasurable sensation when you finally relieve yourself. That’s the basic idea behind peegasm. The trend started among women, who discovered that they could experience a “climactic” sensation while urinating after holding their pee for some time.

Though most individuals don’t feel anything more than relief or a pleasant sensation while urinating, some people describe a “rush” or warm feeling as pee spurts out of their urethra. It’s important to note that peegasm is not accompanied by the emotional and physiological aspects associated with sexual orgasm and the sensations are more akin to an orgasm-like buildup with a high-release at the end.

Why Do Some People Experience Peegasm?

Pelvic floor muscles are responsible for controlling urinary functions and preventing leakage. When you hold your pee, these muscles tense up, which could cause a sensation similar to that experienced during sexual arousal. During orgasm, these same muscle groups build tension and contract rhythymically. 

The sensation appears to be most common among females since the urethra, or pee tube,, is located under the clitoris, an anatomical structure packed with nerve endings and the primary pleasure organ for women. For some because the location is so close peeing can stimulate the clitoral body and cause stimulation of that area.

Is Peegasm Safe?

While peegasm might sound like a fun experience, repeatedly holding your urine to get the sensation of a peegasm canlead to serious health consequences. In most cases, holding your pee for a little while is not a big deal. However, over time it can affect the function of your bladder leading to other issues. 

Recurrent bladder infections are some of the most common health problems associated with holding your pee. When you hold your pee, urine remains in the bladder for a long time, creating favorable conditions for bacteria to grow, which may lead to infections.

The bladder is a muscular organ that contracts to expel urine from the body. Over time, delaying urination can cause the bladder muscles to stretch, which may make it harder to empty out completely, putting you at risk of developing difficulty emptying your bladder or even bladder infections.

Moreover, holding in urine for too long can lead to the formation of bladder or kidney stones, painful urinary tract infections, and rarely, chronic kidney damage.

Alternatives to Peegasm

Holding urine for relief is not the only way to achieve pleasurable sensations. Plenty of sex aids are available that apply pressure to the bladder or the pelvic region, giving you a similar rush without risking potential damage to your bladder and pelvic floor muscles.

Conclusion

The peegasm trend may appear harmless initially, but as we have seen, holding in urine regularly over time could lead to severe consequences.

While it’s not necessary to avoid holding urine altogether, do it only on occasion and don’t turn it into a harmful habit. Remember, your bladder and the rest of your body depend on you to keep them healthy. If you experience any issues with your urinary functions or sexual health, it’s always best to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment.
