What about the fact that when I pee and feel I'm done, I'm actually not really done and there's some piss left that goes out all of a sudden, giving me a great feel?

Really, though, that happens to me too (OP). I call it "after-piss" it's like I let out one huge stream of urine, then pause for 3 seconds and then let out a little burst... only then am I done.

This actually makes sense, I was thinking it may be something like this. It's just weird though, it happened last night and I kinda hurt my neck when shivering.

That's one theory. There isn't much consensus on the reason we shiver after urinating though.

>>4166415
Are you talking about that last bit of urine that remains in the urethra until you squeeze your penis like a tube of toothpaste?

>> No.4166466

Just a theory but perhaps a rush of endorphin as a reward for successful completion of a bodily function? Perhaps you have a disorder that over rewards that particular action.

nope, it's another thing; the piss feels different, it doesn't always happen. It's as if some pee just came out of nowhere.

Its to do with the parasympathetic reflex of passing water (micturation). Though the parasympathetic reflex is not an all or none relfex(unlike the sympathetic or "fight or flight" which is synergistic with the parasympathetic), catacholamines are released and these trigger that "shiver" feeling through the body!

Damn bro. Everyone gets some shivers after pissing but yours sound pretty extreme. I've never heard of anyone actually hurting themselves from these shakes before(and I've talked to a fair amount of people about the 'piss shakes')

>post-micturition convulsion syndrome.

In medical school, we called it by it's scientific name, "piss shivers." Nobody knows why it happens.

>http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1044/what-causes-piss-shiver

The following key facts have been unearthed:

- Women — some, anyway — also experience PCMS.
- That's it.

Theory productivity has been a little better. Here's what we've got so far:

- Heat loss due to several ounces of warm fluid leaving the body. Maybe, but then why don't we experience it during defecation, vomiting, etc.?
- Heat loss due to exposure of the nether regions. Not likely; as one netter points out, babies snugly clothed in diapers may be observed to experience PMCS.
- It's caused by the passage of spermatozoa into the urinary canal. Guess that explains why it happens to women.
- It dates back to pre-civilization days when men hadn't learned to do their own shaking.
- It's all the fault of the parasympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system is up there with the Babylonians as the default explanation for anything you can't think of a good reason for (e.g., photic sneeze reflex, closing your eyes when you sneeze), but I throw it in for the sake of completeness.

Vaginas force you to sit down when pissing. Cold seat offsets the difference felt in bladder cooling so your body is more ready and less likely to shiver.

It's a function that used to be useful, but is only barely useful now. Maybe it's the body stretching the sphincter.

Bladder has and inlet and an outlet. You open the outlet and the contents begin to flow while the inlet stays closed. Vacuum is created on residual gases/space. So unless you can keep your inlet open at the same time to balance everything there will be some level of cold feeling.

Yes volume of the bladder will reduce BUT a distended bladder will not return to original size in the time it takes to take a piss.

>> No.4169209

piss shivering only occurs when you try to close your bladder back up, when you force that last bit of urine out of the bladder.

You can get two shivers if you open back up and close up again if there's urine in there.

Nothing to do with heat exchange.

Too bad the bladder is wrapped in muscle that squeezes the liquid out. It's pushed out, not sucked out, not to mention the fact that it's elastic, so there's no way any semblance of a vacuum can form in your bladder and even if it did, a vacuum does not magically drain heat, rapidly expanding fluid does, so the aerosol can analogy you're trying to push is complete bullshit.
