Piss Play (Watersports) 101: What It Is, How to Explore It Safely, and Tips for Beginners

Piss play—also known as watersports, golden showers, or urolagnia—is my favorite kink but it’s often misunderstood. I still vividly remember the first time someone told me they were into it. We were cuddling on his couch, we’d been making out and things had begun to heat up. He asked me, “what turns you on?” I gave him a list, but as always, I left out my piss fantasies. I was embarrassed that I liked it and watched porn with it. I asked what he was into, and right there in his list… watersports. I was so giddy! Could someone else really be into the same kink? We never did get to play with piss together, but I think back to that moment often. Just hearing him say he was into it made me feel like I too had permission to like it. It’s been about 6 years now. And I’m delighted to say that I proudly proclaim I am into piss play!

Whether you’re curious about exploring it, looking for ways to introduce it to a partner, or simply wanting to learn more, this guide will break it down in a way that’s informative, judgment-free, and empowering.

From the psychology behind it to practical safety tips, here’s everything you need to know about exploring piss play with confidence.

What Is Piss Play (Watersports)?

Piss play involves urinating on, being urinated on, or incorporating urine into sexual play. For some, it’s a sensory experience, while for others, it involves power dynamics, submission, or even a form of intimacy and trust.

Some common ways people engage in watersports include:
💦 Golden showers – A partner urinating on another partner’s body for pleasure.
💦 Clothing wetting – Enjoying the sensation of warm liquid through clothes.
💦 Oral play (Urophagia) – Consensually drinking or tasting urine.
💦 Control & domination – Using piss play in BDSM dynamics.

Why Are Some People Into Piss Play?

There are several psychological and physical reasons why people enjoy watersports:

🔥 Taboo & Power Play – Since urine is considered “off-limits” in most cultures, breaking that taboo can be thrilling.
🔥 Warmth & Sensation – The warmth of urine on the skin can feel sensual and intimate.
🔥 Dominance & Submission – Piss play is often used in power exchange dynamics (e.g., a Dominant marking a Submissive).
🔥 Transmuting Shame – For some it is a way of turning around shameful memories like accidental bed wetting, into something intentional, celebrated, and sensual.
🔥 Trust & Intimacy – Sharing this kink with a partner requires deep trust and can strengthen a connection.

Is Piss Play Safe?

Yes, but it requires hygiene precautions to minimize risks. Here’s how to engage in watersports safely:

Hydration Matters – Clear, mild-smelling urine is best; avoid dehydration.
Avoid Urine in the Eyes & Open Wounds – This reduces irritation or infection risks.
Keep It Clean – Pee is mostly sterile, but washing up after play is important.
Be Aware of Substances – Some medications, drugs or other substances can remain active in urine. A partner drinking the urine of someone who has ingested a substance could be ingesting the same substances through the urine.
Communicate Boundaries – Always discuss limits before engaging.

How to Introduce Piss Play to a Partner

Bringing up any kink can feel nerve-wracking, but here’s how to start the conversation smoothly:

💬 Start with curiosity – “I read about watersports recently—what do you think about it?”
💬 Talk about fantasy first – “Would you ever be interested in a golden shower scene?”
💬 Ease into it – Begin with warm water play in the shower before experimenting with actual urine.
