Says someone whose urinary tract is combined with reproductive organs

I was almost mentioning that.

i guess because the urethra is prone to urinary tract infections so it's kept away from the bacteria-expunger and put with the Goal Of All Evolution device

Urine probably also helps flush things out too, so you don't need to deal with as many infections from bacteria who also want a share of the nutrient slime gametes get.
