Can too much sex make your bladder muscles weaker? /u/Surebarbara Sex

My bf and I started having sex this summer that just passed. I could easily say average once a day (usually twice a day, but sometimes once or not at all, so this is a fair average). A few weeks later, I got a mild UTI which was treated like normal, course of antibiotics and then assume it’s all clear if no other symptoms. Now, I can’t 100% remember when but I started noticing that when I pee, I don’t feel the muscle really pushing on my bladder anymore, its a more vague sensation of just general pressure. I’ve chalked it up to having so much sex maybe affecting my pelvic floor and make a mental note to try to do kegels at some point.

HOWEVER, today my bf has just said to me he’s been feeling like his stream isn’t as strong and he’s felt this for a few months as well, so I figure of course if we’re experiencing the same thing, it must be the sex. But I can’t find anything on google, if anything I’m seeing posts that say frequent sex should help strengthen the pelvic floor. So I’m wondering now if it’s possible the UTI didn’t 100% go away and now we both have a very mild version of it (I squirt sometimes so that would be how I imagine the bacteria could’ve passed to him)? But that too, when I google mild UTI’s I don’t see any symptom that makes it feel like you don’t pee as hard.

I think our next steps would be a urine test to rule out the UTI 100%. My bf is concerned his prostate may be inflamed but unless this is some fluke thing where we have the same experience but for different reasons, I don’t see it being that. So I figure I would rather crowd source other people’s experiences to know if this is a common thing and google is just broken because nobody talks about it? Also, there’s virtually no chance of it being an STI, we’re both coming out of pretty longterm things. I do know someone who works at a sexual health clinic who also said it doesn’t sound like STI’s and offered for us to come in just to speak with the drs and see where they point us.
