It can be sometimes. The rubbing motion can bring bacteria from your rear to the urinary opening, being that all those openings are so close together... You can also get them if you wipe from back to front rather than front to back. The best way to cure it if you have one is to eat 2-3 yogurts a day (one after waking, one at noon, and one before bed is fine). Also take a garlic tablet or even use fresh garlic instead a few times a day. Cranberry tablets can't hurt either. And drink plenty of water; stay away from sweet beverages or anything carbonated. If you have blood in your urine though, it's best to go to a doctor. Otherwise, this technique works great.
Oh and another way to help prevent them in the future is to always wear 100% cotton clothes. Try to stay away from any feminine hygienic products that contain fragrance, including scented toilet paper.

Not necessarily. You can get it from having sex too often and it is sometimes called "honeymoonitis" because of that. LOL!!! You can get it other ways also. It is easy to cure with a perscription. In the meantime drink lots of water and cranberry juice. If you are prone to UTI's it can also help prevent them. I used to get them frequently when I was younger and found that switching from colored toilet paper to white put an end to it and I haven't had one since.
