If so, how does this happen?
It's probably rare, but anytime anything is able to enter the meatus (me-AY-tus), the opening at the end of the penis, you're at risk of contracting a UTI. Masturbating underwater, such as in a bath, is one way this might happen. Receiving oral sex is another way to contract a UTI, as saliva can get into the urethra that way. For instance, if the person giving oral sex is carrying gonorrhea pathogens, you can contract gonorrhea. But you're pretty safe masturbating on dry land.
What do you think about when you masturbate or have sex? Would you tell your significant other if they asked?
