Is there a scientific explanation behind the toilet proximity radar of a person's urinary tract?

True_Grave · 2012-04-06T07:20:42.000Z

I’d imagine your brain associates the toilet with relief, so whenever you see one, your muscles start to relax in preparation for the peeing.

For example, I have a hard time going #1 in a field because I know that’s not where it normally goes.

Yup its psychological. For example i hate using a public toilet for number 2. If i can wait it out a few hours till i get home, usually i can buckle down and endure without issue.

But as soon as i walk in the door…

“By Odin’s beard!! How hath thou resisted such a force?!?!” :wow:

Your internal monologue is like, “Yay, there’s the toilet :).”

And your bladder is like, “O yahh :D”

But then, you’re like, "Wait nononono D; "

All of you tilt your heads back and open your mouths and we’ll figure this out.

The same reason your mouth waters when good food is nearby, or why your dick gets hard when a hot girl in the vicinity is bending over. Patterned response.

Translation : Why is it that I can hold in my piss for hours on end with no problem, but the closer I get to a toilet, the more my urine decides it wants to explode out of my cock?

Is there a scientific explanation for this? Is it all mental? Does doing your favorite tribal/ritual pee-pee dance work for holding it in?

This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:

I am not a big fan of almost peeing on myself. I can understand everything that goes on with my dick. I know why he gets hard. I know why he turns flaccid. I know why he gets morning wood. I know what pairs of underwear he prefers to wear. But the toilet proximity radar thing confounds the hades out of me. There MUST be an explanation out there.

You just had sex.

That’s usually why for me. But it could be something else.

Ah, this thread must have been created in response to my post in the lounge. I’m inclined to agree with Galactic.

dude this is how it goes for me:

On the bus, im fine. Got 99 problems but a piss ain’t one.
As soon as I step off, a slight tingle. Shit.
Get to my apt’s door. need to pee increases gradually.
waiting for the elevator, breaking point, can’t stand still
get in elevator, go up while walking around to avoid peeing my pants.

That’s funny, because I have to actually see or imagine a nude women for that to happen.

Can’t just be a girl in a bikini bent over or whatever.

Galactic · 2012-04-06T09:32:38.000Z

I watch a LOT of porn, you guys. Like… a LOT.

Tell me more.

But seriously, a hot girl in a bikini is bent over an arm’s length in front of you, and you’re not gonna pop even half a chubby? supwitdat?

^_-;

Motherfucker, I read that with my own voice in my head.

And yet I’m not angry at you.

Supwitdat is that I can control my sexual urges because I’m older than 12.

But seriously, don’t take motherfucker seriously, it’s just what I say when someone happens to outwit me. In that circumstance it’s a term of endearment.

I wanna know what the hell is wrong with these key shakin’ ass niggas? Why the fuck is yo dick holding all that extra piss nigga?

Cisco · 2012-04-06T12:36:11.000Z

If you accidentally piss on the toilet seat. Don’t wipe it. Only women or girly-men do that.

piskooooo · 2012-04-06T12:44:06.000Z

Why are you pissing in the toilet and not a urinal?

Great now I’m thinking of that one song Ohhhhhhhhh yeahhhhh!! And Duffman as well.

mowr · 2012-04-06T16:37:49.000Z

When you feel like you’re going to explode and you go to pee and it turns out you only had one little squirt.

Kanta-Kun · 2012-04-06T18:18:35.000Z

you pee in the hallway?

ofc.

Favaro · 2012-04-06T18:22:03.000Z

I like exposing my bare ass while using a urinal with by boxers/pants at my ankles

Havatchu · 2012-04-06T19:41:23.000Z

Yeah, and take massive shits that can’t even be flushed automatically by toilets that have that capability.

Also shit in the sink and make it all foamy with bubbles.

That actually happened at my old college several years ago.
