I had to explain to a girl that no, we should not have sex while you have a UTI. She was in her mid 30's.

Sometimes you're just in the zone man. Consequences be damned (pls dont do this this is not real advice)

Worked in an ED/still work as a paramedic occasionally.

You don't want to know how many times I had to explain this shit to a grown woman, sometimes 30y older than me.

So if one partner has a UTI, the other partner could get the UTI (even asymptomatically) and they could keep reinfecting each other in a hilarious game of tag.

Or if one partner has multiple partner they could spread the UTI around, even if they are asymptomatic.

In addition to that, it can introduce bacteria, bodily fluids, etc to the infected area and make it worse.
