Hi again! Yeah, it's not uncommon for people to lose interest over the thing that arouse them every now and then. Some people may need more variety in their sexual lives than others, and that's fine.

As for your second question, arousal often comes with what we call vasocongestion a.k.a. increased blood flow to our genitals tissues. For folks with vulvas, the vasocongestion shows up in the erection of the labia and clitoris as well as the relaxation/loosening of the vaginal walls, the latter of which can feel like having to "pee."

You know, it's a good idea to go to the bathroom before any kind of genital sex, be it masturbation or with a partner. That helps clear any bacteria from the urinary tract so you don't wind up rubbing it in, which can create urinary tract infections. As en extra bonus, if your bladder is empty, then you won't have anything *to* urinate, so if and when you have that have-to-pee feeling you can just keep doing what you're doing without worry knowing there's nothing in your bladder to urinate with.
