Overview
Urolagnia is an inclination to derive sexual satisfaction from the vision or idea of urination. It is a paraphilia. During the activity, urine may be consumed or the person may bathe in it. Other variations include arousal from wetting or seeing someone else urinate in their pants or underclothes, or wetting the bed. Other forms of urolagnia may involve a tendency to be sexually aroused by smelling urine-soaked clothing or body parts. In many cases, a strong correlation or conditioning arises between urine smell or sight, and the sexual act. For some individuals the phenomenon may include a diaper fetish and/or arousal from infantilism.

Urolagnia is sometimes associated with, or confused with the Japanese practice of omorashi, arousal from having a full bladder or a sexual attraction to someone else experiencing the discomfort or pain of a full bladder, possibly a sadomasochistic inclination.

Urolagnia is acknowledged by the DSM-5 as part of the wide range of human sexual interests. When we consider urolagnia from the perspective of the DSM-5, it's important to understand the difference between an unusual sexual interest and what might be a disorder. Urolagnia crosses into the territory of a paraphilic disorder only if it leads to significant personal trouble, like deep emotional distress or problems in day-to-day life. If it involves harmful or non-consensual activities it is also considered a paraphilic disorder. If someone's interest in urolagnia is causing them psychological issues or involves others who haven't consented or could be hurt, then it's seen as a problem that needs care. But if none of these serious issues are present, urolagnia is seen more as a unique aspect of someone's sexuality. This approach in the DSM-5 shows respect for sexual diversity while also being clear about when these interests might need professional help.

Legal and Ethical Considerations
The legal and ethical considerations surrounding urolagnia, specifically when it comes to the high-profile cases involving R. Kelly, highlight the complexities of sexual paraphilias in the eyes of the law and society. While consensual adult practices of urolagnia do not typically fall under legal scrutiny, the case of R. Kelly underscores the serious legal repercussions when such activities involve non-consenting parties, especially minors. Kelly's conviction on sex crimes, including the creation of child pornography and coercion of minors, demonstrates the strict legal boundaries against any sexual activities involving minors or non-consensual acts, regardless of the specific nature of the paraphilia.

Medical and Health Aspects
Omorashi: Holding in urine can cause infection within the urinary system. UTIs caused by holding in urine are more common in women than men.

Urophagia: Consuming your own urine is not recommended as it may introduce bacteria, toxins, and medications into your system. There is no evidence to suggest that drinking urine has any health benefits.
