(A tangant on do you pee in the shower)

If (and only if) you pee in the shower…  
… normally do you feel a strong urge to pee when you are taking a shower and can’t pee (i.e. if someone is with you or the drain starts backing up).

I have always been a shower pee’er. It just comes naturally, the nice warm water and just being relaxed. If my wife gets in hte shower w/ me, even though I knew this ahead of time and pee’ed in the toilet right before the urge to pee still is there.

Anyone else

Yep, I get the urge. And if my SO is there with me, I pee anyway. 🙂

I always have the urge. Even if I’m in a gym or somewhere else where I can’t, that’s the worst.

I also ALWAYS spit into the urinal before I go. Why I have no idea, but it’s another sill urge.

I get the urge pretty much everytime I take a shower or not. Even with an S.O. in there. Even if I recently pee’d. Its the hot water. Yes…the hot water.

Besides the fact that we all get the urge several times a day - what is the above mean - that you always have the urge? or you get them with some other activities even though you just went?
