What in the body signals the spinal cord to initiate urination?
See also:The neural control of micturition. Clare J. Fowler, Derek Griffiths, and William C. de Groat. Published in final edited form in: Nat Rev Neurosci. 2008 Jun; 9(6): 453–466.
Quoted: "The neural pathways that control lower-urinary-tract function are organized as simple on–off switching circuits that maintain a reciprocal relationship between the urinary bladder and the urethral outlet. Storage reflexes are activated during bladder filling and are organized primarily in the spinal cord, whereas voiding is mediated by reflex mechanisms that are organized in the brain (FIG. 5)."

Is urinary tract infections contagious?
A urinary tract infection is caused when bacteria gets into your bladder by the urethra. This bacteria can then travel up the ureters into the kidneys causing pylonephritis (kidney infection). The most common bacteria that causes a urinary tract infection is E Coli. A urinary tract infection is not contagious. However you should not participate in sexual activity as you can introduce new bacteria into the urinary tract. Also it is important to urinate after sexual activity to help "flush" away any bacteria that may be trying to travel up the urethra. peeing after sexual activity doesn't mean it stops you from becoming pregnant.
