"  Why do I always have to urinate so badly after sex?  Why do I always have to call my mother? Why do other people always have to fall to their knees and repent? Just normal biological functions, that&amp;#039;s all.  Come, let&amp;#039;s take a look at your bladder with Dr. Pamela Ellsworth, urologist and author of The Little Black Book of Urology. &amp;quot;We typically have a sensation to urinate around 150cc,&amp;quot; she says, &amp;quot;and it is possible that one didn&amp;#039;t reach that volume prior to sex and reaches it thereafter.&amp;quot;  We may also note that alcohol and caffeine are diuretics, so that ocean of Diet Coke and rum you continually guzzle, compounded with elapsed time and the sheer physical pressure your bladder withstands during sex may all contribute to this plaguing urge to urinate.  But could there be a psychological component here as well? If you insist. Your newfound obsession with urinary habits could be contributing to a self-fulfilling practice that Masters and Johnson called &amp;quot;spectatoring,&amp;quot; because they couldn&amp;#039;t, between the two of them, come up with the correct word, spectating, which is an inflective form of spectate and means to be a spectator, especially at a sporting event. The sporting event in this case is your own sex life, which is tanking because you&amp;#039;re spending the whole game thinking about the toilet. Never take your eye off the ball.
