Needing a pee. How does it work?

Its when you really really need a pee in town, you walk to the toilets, casual as anything, you see the urinal and you need to make a run for it! Get it out as you go and fire from 5 feet away!

Thanks to this thread i need a pee, and a beer!
 
Only ever had a seriously full bladder while in town. Started out getting on the tram in Altrincham with my bladder shaking a proverbial finger, "you're gonna regret this, boss!".

I'll be fine!

Get into Manchester 45 minutes later and every nudge, shake and rattle made my bladder feel like it was gonna blow! Ha, I'll be OK, there is a public loo just around the corner.

As I get closer to the toilets the urgency increases... "go go go go!" screams my bladder. I turn the corner. NO! A big padlock on the door!

I struggle onwards when I spot a bar, I leg it in, down the stairs, around the corner, through some doors... more doors... another corridor - I have been walking for 2 minutes, I am half way across town and still no toilet in sight! Then at last!

The free urinal was bathed in a heavenly light, angelic music can be heard, the sound of a running stream. I step forth, unzip and.......

Goddamn it! Waterfall, waterfall, waterfall, waterfa...ahhhh!
 
I think generally your bladder can only stretch so far (different size depending on the person) Once it reaches near this point the bladder sometimes spasms slightly just to let you know. The more time it stays in this state the harder the spasms and the bigger the need to go.

if you hold on and on through these urges pressure can build and if done time and time again can impact the kidneys.
 
I would've thought the bladder would have stretch receptors like in the lungs - i.e. when there's enough fluid in there, the epithelial layer is stretched along with the associated nerves, and so the brain is told 'I need to pee' by the nervous system. I also imagine that's why if something leans on your bladder for whatever reason when you need to go to the loo like that it can feel quite 'intense'.

Yeah, true. I was more wondering about why you feel pauses in the urgency though. Once you need to go, it doesn't really make sense (logically at least) to stop feeling the need intermittently until you finally relieve yourself. Not unless your body is still evolved to the point where it expects you to only need 'telling' once whereby you relieve yourself as you stand in the jungle/field/whatever.

Apparently bladders have a snooze function. They just pop back to remind you every 5 to 10 mins. :p
