Can you feel it?


Recommended Posts

One for the ladies: given that generally you cannot see your own stream, how do you know that you have finished peeing? I suppose what I am asking is can you feel the stream and if so where? Do you feel it as it leaves the urethra (which is where I feel it), or do you feel it as it pushes through your lips?

Let me turn the question around a bit: When you sit, when in complete darkness or to stretch it a bit - if you were blind, how do you think you know you're done? You just feel it. The bladder is relaxed and nothing more comes out when you give it a push. 

And as regards to feeling it I don't think I've ever given it much thought, but without trying for sience before replying I would say urethra. But I don't think it's a very strong feeling as I've never contemplated it.

And I presume  @Pinkeln16 that you mean not being able to see the stream due to being sat on the toilet with legs neatly closed together?   If that is the case, then the simple answer is to try sitting on the toilet with your legs together and see if you know when you are done.  Also, have you ever peed anywhere that you can't see your stream?   maybe in a pool or when it is dark?   I'm guessing you worked out when you were done without too much trouble.

I agree. I personally have some nerve issues that make it difficult to feel the flow of the pee itself. Long ago, I used to feel almost a "warm, tingling burn" from the pee actually moving through the urethra, which I can hardly feel if at all anymore. So you might think I have trouble telling when I am done peeing (or even when I START peeing) if I can neither see the stream nor hear it hit water. However, that isn't the case--I can feel the release of pressure as the bladder empties, and can feel when it is completely relaxed due to being empty. It also feels as though I can feel the pressure of the pee trying to force open the sphincter muscle once the "seal" is broken--once I'm empty it feels like there's no longer any resistance to squeezing it shut again. It appears as though the ability to sense the need to pee, and peeing itself, has so many highly redundant layers that few people have a problem perceiving it. And that's even without considering the sound, which even people who can't see their streams can hear.
