I don’t know them by any other “polite” name, so I just have to ask:
What are Piss Shivers?
What are they good for?
Do only guys get them? (I’ve discreetly asked a couple of gals, and they report they don’t experience them)
Do all guys get them?
For those in the dark, this is when, after a good wee, a certain frisson makes you go “brrrrrrr!”
Can’t explain it any better…
Cecil Adams on: What causes “piss shiver?”
I know there was a survey on this a while back, and while it’s nowhere near as common as in men, some women do get them.
Okay, I did a search, but not as complete a one as I thought…
Dammitall, I’m still unenlightened!
Since this one is about one of Cecil’s columns, I’ve moved it from GQ to CoCC.
Also, if you search for “piss shivers” in CoCC, you find the two threads below:

Hope these help. If not, complain. Help will arive magically.
