Avoiding UTI: It is advisable, for women, especially if prone to bladder/urinary tract infections. Bacteria frequently enter the urethra during intercourse, urinating asap helps flush them out before they can cause an infection. Because the male urethra is much longer than females, this is not an issue for men.

Urinate after sex: It is advisable as a measure to prevent uti's. Voiding washes bacteria out of the bladder that are sometimes introduced from the vagina during intercourse.
