If a person has a very full bladder can it cause the person to have an orgasm? Would there be a difference for a man or a woman? ---

At the risk of opening the watersports floodgates, I’d hazard a guess that a woman with a full bladder is far more likely to release it during orgasm than a man. Not that that answers either of your questions 🙂 . ---

> [@Bromley](#): > > At the risk of opening the watersports floodgates, I’d hazard a guess that a woman with a full bladder is far more likely to release it during orgasm than a man. “Far more likely” is an understatement. I’m pretty sure that there would have to be some sort of _severe_ equipment malfunction before any man is even **capable** of urinating during orgasm. I mean, for a man to orgasm, and erection is a given, and, as anyone who has suffered through the combination of a full bladder and morning wood knows, erections and urination are mutually exculsive states. ---

**TMI WARNING** Not necessarily related to bladders or urination, but as you may be aware, nurses and doctors can jam a finger up your ass and “massage your prostate”, forcing semen out through your willie. One time, I was taking a Massive Shit[sup]®[/sup] and apparently my prostate was naturally massaged enough, that without orgasm or any unexpected sensations, I looked down and saw massive amounts of semen dangling from my flacid member. Then again, at that time, I remained a hormonal teenager, and blue-balls might have been the true cause. ---

I’m glad I stopped by this thread. I really wasn’t ready to call it a night without hearing someone describe how they spewed forth semen whilst taking a dump. [The Master speaks](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/000505.html) on this topic. ---

dont know about the original question, but releiving a very full bladder is often more pleasurable than an orgasm, as for taking a long overdue dump, wow! ---

Wow … okay, to get back to the OP … 🙂 I find that having a full bladder doesn’t CAUSE me to have an orgasm, but it can definitely help, especially when I’m … um … taking care of myself. Must be the extra pressure or something. (I’m a woman btw). Oh, and no, it doesn’t cause me to pee the bed or anything … But it’s my understanding that men can’t ejaculate when they have to pee. Sue Johansen of _Sunday Night Sex Show_ fame explained it but I can’t even begin to describe it. ---

Sue Johansen of _Sunday Night Sex Show_ fame explained it but I can’t even begin to describe it. TMI ALERT! Not true (speaking from experience). However, it causes a rather odd burning sensation sometimes when you _do_ pee later on. ---

> [@Stainz](#): > > But it’s my understanding that men can’t ejaculate when they have to pee. Sue Johansen of _Sunday Night Sex Show_ fame explained it but I can’t even begin to describe it. You’ve got it backwards. We can’t pee when we have to ejaculate.
