You’re mouth and your butt are two ends of the same tube so the spicy parts, capsaicin, can make it all the way from the entry through the exit. You’re urethra is connected to your bladder which is filled by your kidneys from water in your blood which was absorbed from the contents of your food tube, primarily in the intestines. The capsaicin does not make it through that process because it’s not water soluble.
