The next time you're having a piss (standing up), can you try something for me?
While you're pissing - particularly towards the latter stages - if you sort of scratch or tickle the very top of your arse crack, does it increase your flow or make more wee come out?
It always does for me and I'm curious whether:
a) this is a normal thing or not
b) the mechanics of why and how
I look forward to hearing your experiences.

Maybe I have watched Lock Stock wayyy too many times.

This is an unexpected level of sharing and I've only had one cocktail and a couple of glasses of red tonight.

Well, I decided to go to the top right away and ask my friend who just happens to be a practicing doctor at the Alfred in Melbourne, He gave me this response:
So basically, the part in bold explains that specific sensation, if it significantly increase the flow rate, see your doctor, you may have future bladder problems.
Long story short though, you aren't relaxing your muscles enough to begin with and don't be suprised if you start pissing yourself.

Nice one. That's interesting, especially that there's no mechanical link and something more complex is going on.Bails MacKenzie wrote:So basically, the part in bold explains that specific sensation, if it significantly increase the flow rate, see your doctor, you may have future bladder problems.

The explanation above does kind of tie up to how I found this out. I know you didn't didn't ask but since I'm here I'll say it anyway.norbs wrote:Why hasnt anyone asked Durbs how he discovered this?
Basically, I'm lactose intolerant but because I loved milk, I resolutely refused to acknowledge it until I was in my late 20s.
One side-effect would be a sudden urge to piss and I somehow stumbled on this technique and must have thought it would help drain the tank more effectively.
One day, I decided to try going without any dairy products for a week just to settle it and all my symptoms were immediately resolved (including some stuff I hadn't even realised were symptoms). I realised what a bloody moron I'd been by thinking I could override a genetic condition through will power and I re-organised my diet properly.
That was about 12 years ago and I haven't had have any problems since but maybe the massive stress I put on my bladder by being a stubborn idiot for so long has done some long-term damage. I'll be sure to let you all know if one day the floodgates don't close properly.
