   is more than just the degree of stees of the gall blader;

   and by the way the ANS can be controlled, with a little work and time you can achieve amasing things

   I’ve heard of this. However, I was under the impression that it was a male only phenomenon.

   omg my gf and i were just wondering about this! it seems to happen most when we’ve tried to ‘hold it’ a long time. it’s just a single shudder. maybe it’s a girl thing?

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

   My ex used to always talk about “piss shivers” and I never knew what he was talking about… and never heard it from any other source until today. So he was crazy, just not as crazy as I thought!

    Never heard of it, never had it.

    Sounds made up, like Fan Death.

    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)

    It only really happens to most people if they hold it a really really long time. It’s exciting, though.

    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.
