Should I NOT masturbate while having a UTI?

[Anonymous]

I asked my doctor about it, but she didn't say that it WASN'T BAD, and didn't say that it WAS. So...? -__- Ladies, what do you think? I can't use any sex toys or anything because they hurt (I'm really tight) But should I hold off? I mean, yes I do wash my hands, things like that so there's no bacteria building, ya know? But I'm wondering if it's okay otherwise? Or no? Thanks :3 (Men can answer too !)

Hi, I currently have a uti, first one ever. I have waited for a few days for the antibiotics to kick in as it still stings a little when I pee. Im thinking of masturbating within the hour and will wash my hands and urinate before I do so. Good luck.

I'd wait. It's not like having a UTI is going to make you especially horny, and masturbating isn't exactly going to help.

I would wait but if you really want to of course clean hands and still try and pee afterwards.
