I have a question for the menfolk, regarding pee.

[nolabear]

I can't believe I've gotten to this age without ever asking. But, when we women have to go, and can't get to a bathroom in a hurry, there are muscles "down there" that we squeeze together to hold back the flood.

What do you guys do? Is there stuff to tighten?

[NYC_SKP]

1. Oh yeah, we can tighten!

And if we can't take it any more than a giant binder clip comes in handy.

[arcane1]

2. If you're referring to Kegel muscles, then yes.

Plenty of muscles for everyone!

[rurallib]

3. you betchya, but I am finding they get weaker as you age.

[edgineered]

4. Just the opposite. Relax

Trying to tighten makes it only more urgent.

[El Supremo]

5. Sure. But sometimes my back teeth are floating.

Thanks to Cheech Marin for that.

[nolabear]

6. Okaaaay. So, tighten, relax, clamp.

Makes perfect sense. 😝

[edgineered]

8. Well nolabear,

all of the above are better than super-glue!

[pinboy3niner]

7. Guys have tools, silly

[pokerfan]

19. I use one of these....

And I keep one of these on me at all times:

9. I was told, though, that once they start the flow

they can't stop it.

[Chan790]

10. Not quite true.

It's mostly true...some guys can't at-all and it's difficult to do, but guys can stop the flow by flexing their Kegel muscles. In fact, if you're a guy and you're not sure you're doing Kegels correctly, one of the easiest ways to make sure you have proper exercise form is to interrupt the stream and start and stop and start.

[pinboy3niner]

11. To improve bladder control, it's recommended that guys practice pausing in midstream

I guess that strengthens the mussels. Of course, that's just my shellfish opinion.

[WhiteAndNerdy]

12. I've heard that from women, too.

Some say once they've started, they can't stop. I can, so that surprised me.

[DebJ]

13. Well, I do know that women ARE supposed to be able to do so.

Thirty plus years ago during childbirth classes we were taught to do that to strengthen our Kegels.

[panader0]

14. Oh yeah, I can stop midstream.

Peeing outside and someone comes walking up...stop and zip in 2 seconds.

[progressoid]

21. Stopping midstream is very important...

if you want your name to be legible when writing in the snow. Especially when dotting "i's" and crossing "t's".

[NightWatcher]

15. as dad used to say on road trips to us in the back seat, "tie it in a knot"

[Gidney N Cloyd]

16. Depends. (Well, SOMEone had to say it.)

[nolabear]

24. Can't believe it took so long!

[rug]

17. I use a tourniquet.

[Arugula Latte]

18. They carry teeny tiny corks with them, right?

[nolabear]

23. I thought that was us!

Well, not teeny maybe.😋

[MADem]

20. This thread is hilarious...and now I gotta go pee! nt

[nolabear]

22. It does that, doesn't it?

[Throd]

25. Sink, water fountain, potted plant...there never is not a place to pee.

[BootinUp]

26. Yeah, lol. Not sure how it works zactly.

[trof]

27. Yes, until you get to be a geezer.

And have a prostate gland as big as a cantaloupe.
This puts pressure on the bladder.
So an hour after you pee, you feel like you have to pee again.
TMI?


And your 'hold-it-in' equipment doesn't work so good any more.
Bummer.
