yes
the friction from sexual activity can cause bacteria to go up the urethra
urinating after sexual activity generally forces the bacteria out before it can brew an infection that gets into the bladder

The urge to pee after having sex is completely normal for both men and females. This has nothing to do with bladder infections. If you have an infection of any kind, whether you pee or not is a function separate from the infection. False. Your sister is not clear on this.

The journey from your urinary opening to your bladder is a short one. So it is easier for a woman to get an infection during sex. Peeing after sex can get rid of some of the bacteria put its not a guarantee. You might still get a bladder infection after sex even if you pee.

If you are prone to bladder infections... YES... urinate before and after sex. What happens is bacteria enters through the urethra and the longer it gets to stay in your system, the more it can infect. So, if you flush it out right away, no bladder infections.
I get them easily, have been on maintenance drugs (pills I had to take every time I took a bath, had sex, went in the lake, etc). Those work, but I opted for just going to the bathroom all the time, before those things and right away after. Works well...

It's a good idea to...it helps to "clean the pipes" after sex. The bladder infection could've been caused by a number of things, but you can't rule out sex as one factor. Of course, this is a good topic to ask your doctor about.

Yes, going pee after sex is ALWAYS a good idea. It does clean you out. If you are able I would also say, shower afterwards also.

Er, weird!
My mom never told me that my Dad'd got infection after sex with her!
Sorry, but the first thing is u should check it out on your girl! Whew, really sorry, and don't mean to, but how about an STD? It may be possible! Or she doesn't keep it quite hygiene in there!
Next is for u. Apart from taking showers everyday, u should also use, er, tissues after urination, and clean up after "toilet time", too.
After sex, if u want to play it safe, u can wash your penis with warm water and a little soap.
Urine contains strong acidity and waste, so it also play an important role in sterilising inside, where antiseptics can't reach.
Pee after sex is just a natural reaction, so it is very NORMAL.
About your penis, contact the doctor!

Yes, must go to clean out system. You shouldn't be doing this if you aren't informed on sex. Wait a bit until you are older.

soUNds like your having sex with the wrong people or un clean people becareful because you can get pelvic inflammatory disease but to answer the question no it is not necessary to pee to clean your self out the pee is not coming out of the same area the penis went into
