WS meaning on a profile

What WS stands for

WS stands for watersports, meaning sexual play involving urination. You may also see it called golden showers, or urolagnia, which is the clinical word. It has nothing to do with the sort of watersports you would see on a lake, although that does cause confusion from time to time.

It sounds surprising to people who have never come across it, but it is a fairly well known interest. Plenty of people have no interest at all, and that is equally fine.

How it appears on a profile

On a profile, you will usually see WS giving, which means the lady is open to being the one who urinates. You can see who mentions it on our WS giving page. Direction matters here. A listing for giving does not suggest she would be happy for you to do the same, and you should not assume it does.

Like every other tag, this describes what she enjoys. It is not something you buy. The rate is for her time and companionship, and each lady decides what she is comfortable with. It is also an activity that often requires some planning, since nobody can simply do it on demand. Do not take it as a slight if the answer on the day is not today.

Health and hygiene

Urine is often described as sterile, but that is a myth. It can contain bacteria, and in someone with an infection it can carry that infection. Contact with healthy, unbroken skin is generally considered low risk, but it is best to keep it away from the eyes, mouth, and any cuts or broken skin. If someone has a urinary tract infection or other infection, they should not take part. Do not swallow any.

If you notice stinging when you pass urine, or feel unwell afterwards, see your GP or an NHS sexual health service. Keep in mind that other intimate contact has its own risks, so condoms and regular check ups remain sensible, and a doctor can answer questions about your own situation.

Being practical about the room

This calls for some planning. A shower or wet room is by far the best place, because it keeps things easy to clean and avoids damage to a hotel room, carpet or mattress. If you are hosting an outcall, have towels ready and leave the room as you would want to find it. In a lady's own place, follow her lead completely, as it is her home or workplace.

Consent and limits

An agreement needs to be clear and specific, covering who, where and how much. A vague yes to the idea does not cover everything. Keep to what was agreed, avoid surprising anyone, and agree a way to stop. She can say no at any time, as can you.

Anything that feels degrading to someone who has not asked for that is off limits. If it is part of a power dynamic that you both enjoy, our guide to domination and submission offers useful advice on setting limits.

How to raise it politely

You need not raise this on the phone. Call us with her name and a time, and we check she is free, confirm the price and arrange the rest. In person, keep it light. Something like, I saw WS listed on your profile, is that something you would be up for at some point, gives her plenty of room to say what she thinks.
