I don't mean to sound rude, so please take what I'm saying as gently as I mean it...
but peeing right before and after sex does not ALWAYS prevent UTIs. I just think it's important to get that qualifier in there because sometimes people get UTIs from sex no matter what they do.
However, the gist of your statement is correct: Peeing after sex can significantly reduce the risk of getting a UTI from sex.
(and I'm expanding here for the OP, because you seem to already know this part ;-) Doing so right before sex helps flush away a lot of built up bacteria and debris that could get forced into the urethra during sex. Going after helps flush out anything that may have actually been forced up there.
As a side note, I've discovered that the more female ejaculatory fluid I make during sex, the less likely I am to get a UTI--IF I go pee right afterward. If I don't, the UTI is murderous. But at least for me, female ejac + peeing after=all clear.
