Pee shivers

[UglyCasanova]

See here for an article about it from NBC

I do experience this almost every time I go, but I really ever gave it much thought until now. Interesting to read the scientific theories on why this happens.

Maybe it's god's way of telling you to stop pissing outside during winter.

 

[phucheneh]

I've experienced it, but never regularly. Honest to god, maybe a handful of times in my entire life. Pretty sure it's been years.

...you have penis cancer.

It happens to me almost every time I go while 1. standing up and 2. urinating for a good bit. Those two criteria seem to be the main trigger for me, and I think that it happens more often and stronger when the bathroom is comfortably warm. I know that I do this all the time at the urinal at work and i remember it being somewhat embarrassing at times, but I'll be able to legitimately discuss it now.

 

[Newbian]

Are you sure it's a shiver and not a reaction for shaking it more then you should?

 

[Agent11]

I get these all the time too. I once had a discussion with some friends about it while drinking, and a few who claimed to have experienced paranormal happenings likened the sensations.

Obviously our urethra's are haunted.

I don't feel 'cold' though. I do shiver but it is obviously a nerve impulse or something. No temperature sensation involved.

 

[TXHokie]

I thought it was because the water is cold.

Those are dispatched to help restore or maintain blood pressure, Sheth says. But the microscopic energy bullets “may also trigger the shiver reflect.”

Yes....reflect.

Is that when the doctor makes your leg twitch by shining a bright laser at your knee? :sneaky:

I used to get them when I was younger. My 10-month-old daughter gets them all the time.

 

[Murloc]

I sometimes get them even when I'm not pissing.

 

[SunnyD]

Peegasm.

 

[Newbian]

I sometimes get them even when I'm not pissing.

Are you thinking of someone special when you get it?

 

[ch33zw1z]

This happens to me often, I drink lots of water and coffee. According to the article, that would be a cause due to "voiding large amounts of urine"...

I've never discussed this with anyone...lol

 

[clamum]

I get them occasionally, but there's no cold/temperature sensation.

 

[notposting]

Wow...never. Weird.

 

[bigrash]

so who else went to go pee right now to see if this happens every time? Not me.

 

[Zeze]

I thought we figured this out already.

We shiver because large amount of piss leaves the body that's been warmed up to your body temp. Suddenly your body is like wtf, a big portion of my body heat just escaped in matter of seconds. So your body reacts to it?

 

[Exterous]

I get them sometimes. Actually the ol piss bag is a bit full right now and I am off to the bathroom. I'll be sure to report back

 

[sixone]

I get them sitting down, but only when I've really NEEDED to go. No cold sensation, tho.

 

[Mixolydian]

Weird, I've never had that happen before.

 

[Exterous]

I get them sometimes. Actually the ol piss bag is a bit full right now and I am off to the bathroom. I'll be sure to report back

Nope - not this time

 

[NetWareHead]

I find it happens after a long piss, especially when I'm bursting at the seams needing to pee badly.

 

[Quakester]

Are you sure it's a shiver and not a reaction for shaking it more then you should?

This!

 

[Quakester]

I thought it was because the water is cold.

...and deep.

 

[tfinch2]

Peegasm.

I get these sometimes. Especially when drunk.
