I was actually being sarcastic in the last post, but thanks for the info…it has been my personal experience than men find it difficult if not impossible to pee with a raging hard on, or with a woman holding it. And I _have_ written my name in the snow. 😉 ---

“Difficult if not impossible?” Well, that’s actually supposed to be that way… The mechanism for causing and maintaining an erection includes the swelling of a muscle that is supposed to prevent urination. The purpose is obvious – Kelli, I doubt you’d want to be in the throes of passion with some guy and suddenly receive a “power douche.” It’s not impossible to get around this, but it requires a lot of effort. I could pee straight up in the air (if I wanted to), but it doesn’t just happen – I have to force it. Same with peeing any other way when I’ve got a major stiffy. ## As far as doing it with a woman holding it? I’ve never tried, but I expect I’d be all engorged and tingly in such a case, so it wouldn’t be any different. If, by some evil miracle, a woman could hold my penis without it getting erect, I don’t see why I couldn’t get the flow started. –Da Cap’n ---

Grrrrr-ooooooss! I see where you get the 'crude ’ to go with the capt. And I meant men get a ‘shy bladder’ when held. ---

Ahhhh, I see you liked my coinage of the term “power douche,” then? Thanks – we aims ta please. ;-\> Re: shy bladder – never experienced that, myself. Then again, nobody’s ever tried to help me urinate either. * * * –Da Cap’n ---

I had a friend who has his penis pierced and he peed just like that. Granted, the ring went through his urethra. ---

People, there may be a problem here. A bad one. Think kidney stones. Small kidney stones in the urinary tract can cause partial blockage.

Mr Thin Skin said: > [@](#): > > This happens to me occasionally. You have some adhesion at the end of your urethra. What can cause that- Sticky stuff on your glans penis. Got a blow job lately (w/ altoids)? Had sex and went right to sleep? Beat off and didn’t clean up? Painted you dick with water-soluble paint? I guess it could also come from inside (cowper’s gland??, etc.). Do you wear edible underwear? Man, talk about way more then we needed to know…so, how often DO you wear those edible undies? This thread almost make the “menstrual cups” thread look tame. (almost) * * * Some mornings it just doesn’t seem worth it to gnaw through the leather straps.

a fire hose is cool. Wish I could shoot water that far. I also wish fathers would take a minute to teach their sons how to pee right. ---

Pissing with a hard on is fairly easy. Just assume the three-point stance: Both feet planted firmly, one hand propped on the wall over the toilet. Bow at the waist and let 'er rip. Even easier…Go outside and piss on a tree or something. I do believe this is my first post to GQ. What an appropriate topic! * * * You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing. ---

Male equipment, most, like mine anyway, is designed so you can’t pee when you have a hard on. That way you don’t let her rip inside the girl. ---
