Women sometimes get bladder infections after sex. Vaginal intercourse makes it easier for bacteria to reach the bladder through the urethra. Some women contract the infection - dubbed "honeymoon cystitis" - almost every time they have sex. Women who use a diaphragm as their primary method of birth control are also particularly susceptible to bladder infections, perhaps because the device presses on the bladder and keeps it from emptying completely. Bacteria then rapidly reproduce in the stagnant urine left in the bladder. Pregnant women, whose bladders become compressed as the fetus grows, are also prone to infections. Use of condoms and use of spermicides also increase the risk of urinary tract infections.

I do not think it can be transmitted. However sex can bring on a bladder infection in a female. To help prevent that from happening, a woman should pee after sex to help rinse out the urethra (the tube that drains the bladder to outside.the body).The rubbing involved with sex can push bacteria up the urethra and lead to what healthcare providers call "honeymoon cystitis".

I don't think so. They start out as a urinary tract infection and will lead to a bladder infection, If not treated. It's wise to urinate after sex and wipe from front to back. It will help eliminate bacteria that causes them.
