I just did!

Sephora, I hope the good weather holds at least as long as you can. And, remember the first rule of hiking, be sure to bring along plenty of water. That way, even if the rain doesn't come, you'll enjoy some pouring of your own.

Not even one in the middle?

That's fine with me, just as long as you don't make me pull over any more than I need to. Why, I'll even spring for new seat covers.

You're more than welcome to ask me questions, Lizz. I'll bet Dr. Glad can teach even you a thing or two! :)

Steve, your question reminds me of the old joke, "why is semen white and urine yellow?" The answer, "so you can tell whether you're cumming or going!" Actually, urine gets its golden or yellow color from the breakdown of hemoglobin. Whether it's pale or deep depends largely on how well-hydrated you are. You can also get a brilliant almost neon yellow color to your urine if you've been taking Vitamin B. I freaked out one hiking partner shortly after I had switched to a protein powder that contained a large quantity of B in it.

The short answer is that, for most of us, this was a taboo. I doubt peeing would be quite as exciting for us if it weren't kept hidden, so to speak, behind closed doors. But, there's also another factor at work, one that's primal. For a great many animals, urination is part of the mating ritual. Just watch a pair of dogs. The male pees, the female sniffs. If she likes what she smells, there's bound to be at least one lucky dog.

Another fun fact for you: The word “urine” is from the Latin urina, which is from the variant of the Proto-Indo-European root "awer", meaning to moisten, flow. If you have any questions, you can post them here. In the meantime, enjoy the flow. I'm sure most all of us like keeping things moist.

You're right, my trip is pretty cool. But, to put this on takes a great deal of effort or, at least, a lot of hard work. :wink:

Fanny, you're not horning in on my road trip, are you? If you want to get in on the fun, why don't you start one of your own? :)

I'm glad I have a penis. :) Not that I'm willing to give it away, but should you have the need for one when you're along for the ride, I might let you borrow mine. If you're interested in going with me, you can sign up here. While the next trip won't leave for a few more weeks, you'd better hurry, as there's only so much space. And, wouldn't you know, it's filling up quickly. :wink:

Well said, fanny.

I'm all for that. I love to see a woman who enjoys a standing pee, even more so when she's beside me.

I hope you know CPR and mouth-to-mouth :wink: , in case he does drown.

I wish so, too. :)

You might call them your peer group!

There, I think I just did! :biggrin:

Of course, finding that right moment can be, er, challenging. I find it easiest when it occurs naturally, like when we're out on a hiking trail or, even more so, on a small boat where's there's absolutely no privacy. If you can be relaxed about relaxing your bladder, sometimes that's all it takes to start a conversation.

I'm all for the outdoors. In fact, a woman who isn't into outdoor things is probably a relationship-killer for me.

Ummmm, halfway between 1183 and 1774? That's more like almost a liter and a half!

Or, just as often and pee more. :thumbsup:

Well, piss on you, Sally! :wink:

Thank you for your encouragement, Sally. It's probably just what was needed to get the old boy out. :wink:

I'm all for encouraging it. In fact, perhaps the good doctor's top recommendation is for all of us, especially women, to drink plenty of water.

Another view of pee droplets. There are a lot or cornfields around here. We haven't had much rain here lately, unless you count the golden kind.
