What would cause a pungent odor and a waxy film on top of the water in the commode bowl?
Because we use commodes for both urine and feces, seeing this waxy film can be confusing. If a person has a gallbladder problem, there will be more fats in the waste. Physicians often refer to gallbladder disease as the "3F" because GB disease affects "female, fat and 40" (that comment isn't meant as offensive, but "3F" is a simple way to remember facts.) GB affects more women than men; more often in age 40 or over; and in women who are overweight. The person may have upper right belly pain after eating fatty foods. The pain can go "straight through" the body to about bra level at the bottom of the right scapula. If this description fits someone in your home, have them talk to the doctor. A simple ultrasound can confirm GB disease. A medication can help add bile salts when taken with meals. Unless pain is very severe, surgeons usually won't do surgery until it's really bad.
For the toilet, most of it should flush away. If you still see a film, use some gritty cleaner, like Comet. Just don't use other products together or you can cause deadly fumes. Make sure the person who has GB disease understands they should flush immediately after using the toilet. They can even sprinkle Comet along the bowl at the water level so less of the fat clings to the bowl.

Um, they don't. If a woman does urinate during intercourse or other stimulation (which is really difficult because her feminine parts are swollen with blood flow when aroused), then she likely has a bladder control problem, or it was a freak accident.

Most drugs are either excreted in the urine (via the kidneys) - particularly if they are very water soluble - or sometimes metabolized - mostly in the liver.
Can vitamins and supplements change the color of urine?
The bright yellow color which appears in urine within a few hours of ingesting Vitamin B is simply the excess of the vitamin being excreted from the body. Most supplements contain much more than the body needs and it is excreted, coloring the urine yellow.

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)."
urine that is sterile that cleans the urethra. No other cleaning is necessary.

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.
