What feels better, taking a leak when you really have to go, or a truly satisfying dump? Is it necessarily the same answer as which is worse, really having to piss or shit? I gotta go with the leak. After holding it, when you finally go it is almost orgasmic. Double flushers are fun too, but I’m not sure about that feeling that I just shat out part of my intestine, and the wind whistling thru my still flexing butthole. Oh, and that’s not a typo in the title. Consider it an homage. ---

I have to go with taking a leak. After holding a good piss for a long time, letting it go is just indescribable. It’s so good, your whole body kind of goes limp and you lean against the wall for support. All the while he’s just letting loose like a firehose. Oh, the memories. ---

Taking a leak, definately. I don’t ever enjoy taking a dump. It’s never that satisfying, and clean-up is a bitch. Besides, I’m quite copraphobic, so even my own shit gives me the heebie-jeebies. ---

The piss wins most of the time. There are times, however, when a good, long shit outdoes the piss. For example, when I was in the army, we had some thirty-day field exercises. After taking a crap in a hole and burying it like an animal for a month, pinching the loaf on a nice, shiny-white porcelain bowl felt _wonderful_. The piss, in that instance was short-lived pleasure, while the crap was almost like a homecoming present. ---

Hmm…I’d say it’s a toss up. For the most part, there’s nothing like the feeling one gets (someone mentioned near-orgasmic) when you’ve been holding your bladder for a long time and the subsequent release. But quite a few times, I’ve been in situtations when I REALLY needed to take a dump (because you’re stuck in traffic or some other activity), and the eventual release felt akin to a religious expereince. ---

What’s better? Definately baptizing a Babe Ruth. Heaving a Havana is just much more satisfying, especially if you have had a lot of fiber in your diet. Gross, yes; but what do you want in this thread anyway? ---

Peeing. Pooping can hurt if you haven’t gone in a while, while peeing only hurts if you’ve got a personal problem . . . ---

At the risk of hijacking my own thread, what is worse than stage fright?. I will never forget a night at the Aragon Brawlroom years, nay decades ago (for some rason I’m thinking Wazmo Nariz backing Devo but, ahem, it is possible my memory is clouded). Comes intermission and the proverbial back teeth were floating (God knows I could have gone earlier and missed some of Evanston’s own Wazmo!) Fought my way down the stairs (you know, that neat staircase at the Brawlroom?), into the jammed anteroom of the john where folks were passed out, puking, dealing and doing. Cued up in the john where people were pissing in urinals, toilets, sinks, corners. Finally made it up to the urinal and – NOTHING HAPPENED! I gotta piss like a racehorse, and nothing will come out! So I’m standing there, with a crowd staring daggers into your back, wanting me to do my business and get the fuck out of there. You can only stand there so long, pretending you’re doing something other than holding your dick. (Ever notice how the urinal resembles a face laughing at you at such times?) So after a while, you shake and flush needlessly, and elbow your way back out. All the while your bladder is aching. Wait as long as you can and repeat the process, missing part of the show while you do. The memories that stick with you over the years. Aargh! ---

Taking a whiz. The morning before I took the SAT I drank a little too much water. During a section of the test I had to go so bad my eyes were watering and I was salivating. Never had that kind of a feeling with #2. ---

Jesus Christ. This is appalling. I’d move this to IMHO, since it is the very definition of a “not-so-great-debate”, but I think slythe might just shit on me if I did. And I’m very sure he’d enjoy that. Carry on, at least until I get totally disgusted. ---

Next time they decide to portion off MPSIMS (a la IMHO), they should create TTDS (pronounced TiT-DeeS) for Truly Tasteless Disgusting Stuff. There we could put all the threads on felching, queefing, squicking, all anal shit, colostomy bag holing, ball vs. asshole scratching, noble gasses, etc. Anyhoo, I’m gonna say peeing, because everyone knows that women don’t poo. ---

Pissing definitely. One time I had to hold it in for 9 hours. It felt so good to piss after all that waiting. > [@](#): > > Anyhoo, I’m gonna say peeing, because everyone knows that women don’t poo. I’ll add to this because there’s this song I know where it says “cute girls don’t shit” in it. ---
