Why We Shiver When Peeing

This is a thing? I don’t think I have it.

I have never noticed this either..

Never heard of it.

I’ve always subscribed to the explanation Steve Martin talked about in his standup routine; it’s just nature’s way of shaking off.

Can’t say I’ve ever experienced this…

Wow, I have never even heard of this.

My husband and I have experienced this. We call it the “Piss Willies” Is ANS also what causes goose bumps after a sneeze? FYI: I hear if you sneeze with your eyes open they will come flying out. HA!! Not really but sounded cool. Piss willies RULE!! Have sex then pee, you’ll get the piss willies. hhhhhhburrrr (shake)

From the article:

…[T]here is a slight blood pressure rise and a momentary flushing or euphoria shortly after relaxing the urethral sphincter. Some find this feeling pleasurable.

Indeed. From personal experience, I can tell you that this effect (post-micturation convulsion) can be exacerbated under certain physiological conditions.

After taking a medication for several months that caused polyuria (excessive urination) as a side effect, I found that going pee-pee had all of a sudden become a nearly orgasmic experience!

Of course, the polyuria itself was pretty annoying, so an adjustment in dosage put an end to all the, um, fun.

this always happens to me, for years i have wondered what it was. ya learn something new everyday.

This happens to me, I get goosebumps too.
