Yes, some women experience intense pleasure, sometimes described as an orgasm (a "peegasm"), from holding in urine and then releasing it, due to pressure on nerves near the clitoris and the release of endorphins, but regularly doing so carries health risks like UTIs, and it's not recommended by experts. While the initial relief is common, the intense sensation comes from the stimulation of nerves and tissues, but it's crucial to understand the potential dangers, such as bladder issues or infections, despite the pleasurable feeling.
Occasionally holding pee in will likely cause no harm. However, regularly doing so may increase the risk of infection or other complications. It may help to have healthy and regular bathroom habits. Anyone who feels that they are urinating too much or too often should contact a doctor.
And since your bladder is basically a warm, wet bag of body waste, it's the PERFECT breeding ground for harmful bacteria that'll cause all sorts of damage. Even worse, if you're really unlucky and retain too much urine, it may back up into your kidneys. Which could lead to kidney failure, and ultimately death.
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
Bacteria can grow if you wait too long to urinate. The results will be a burning sensation when you pee, your abdomen will hurt, you will continue to feel like you still have to pee, it will smell and be cloudy, and you may end up with dark or bloody urine.
The release of certain neurotransmitters and hormones during periods of bladder fullness may also contribute to these sensations. The body's stress response to holding urine can trigger the release of endorphins, which are natural feel-good chemicals that can create pleasurable feelings.
They're called “peegasms,” a kind of full-body orgasmic feeling that some say they experience if they've been waiting a long time to go to the bathroom. Unsurprisingly, discussion of this phenomenon began on Reddit before making its way to more mainstream conversations.
More positively, the clitoral orgasm was labeled as a reliable companion, and viewed as easier to reach and more controllable than other kinds of orgasms: “The clitoral orgasm is the most pleasurable for me because I know what I like and how I like it, so I'm more likely to orgasm and have a sense of achievement” (No.
A: Most adults can safely hold their pee for about 3 to 5 hours, but it's best not to wait that long. Holding it too often can irritate your bladder and increase your risk of infection. The average bladder holds 400–600 mL of urine. “Go” when you first feel the urge, especially on long trips.
The "21-second pee rule" comes from a scientific discovery that most mammals over about 3 kg (like dogs, cows, elephants) empty their bladders in roughly 21 seconds, regardless of their size, due to physics involving urethra length and gravity. For humans, this serves as a loose benchmark: urinating significantly faster (e.g., under 10 seconds) or slower (over 30 seconds) might signal holding it too long or an overactive bladder, though it's not an exact diagnosis.
If you leak, your urine will turn bright orange. If it's discharge, it will be clear or milky white. Don't wear dark underwear while you test this. Underwear Color: Wearing white or light-colored underwear can help you see the fluid's color more clearly.
Women appear to have a smaller functional bladder capacity and, therefore, must void more often than men. On the other hand, men have a greater bladder outlet resistance, which is partly attributed to a longer urethra and partly to the presence of the prostate.
The sensation of needing to pee is felt lower down for women than it is for men, owing to the fact that women have a shorter urethra. Other than that, from discussions with my fiancé, the sensation of actually peeing is pretty much the same for women as it is for men.
ADHD can affect the brain's ability to interpret signals from the bladder when it is full. Meanwhile, impulse control and distractions can delay a child from developing healthy peeing habits. Children with ADHD can also have co-existing conditions that can affect their peeing.
As you start peeing, gently rock your hips forward to aim your stream well away from you. Push hard at the beginning of your flow and then once again at the end to cut down on any dribbles.
Correct peeing posture
Sitting upright may be great for your general posture, but it's not the ideal position to be in when peeing as it doesn't allow your bladder to fully empty. Instead, sit down on the toilet with your feet flat on the floor, lean forward and rest your elbows on your knees.
It's generally okay to go without peeing for about 3 to 6 hours, but individual factors such as hydration levels and medical conditions can influence this timeframe. While managing 3-6 hours without peeing is usually fine, making it a habit can lead to certain health conditions that may need medical intervention.
A pee dance is also a method of distraction. Your brain finds it easier to focus on something when you're standing still as opposed to moving around, so the dancing takes your mind off the engorged water balloon that is your bladder.
Urinary bladder and urethra
The urinary bladder can store up to 500 ml of urine in women and 700 ml in men. People already feel the need to urinate (pee) when their bladder has between 150 and 250 ml of urine in it.
A woman can orgasm multiple times in a row, with some studies suggesting many women can have several or even dozens, as female bodies often lack a significant refractory period like men; however, limits depend on individual factors, stimulation, physical stamina, and hormonal responses, with some reporting dozens while others find several are enough before needing a break for sensitivity or fatigue.
"We can cry because we're really happy and we felt a huge connection, and we felt overwhelmed by that intimacy or feeling of being touched," she told The Hook Up. "And we can cry because we were overwhelmed in a way that brought up shame or pain or negative emotions in the body.
Neck. Initially this will often be up and down the sides of the neck. Then as your intimacy deepens and the times and places of your kisses expand, you'll also definitely want to kiss the back of her neck. Ears and earlobes.
