BladderChamp

Had a couple beers a few hours ago and I'm just starting to notice the twinges in my bladder. I need a little friendly competition to motivate myself to hold it. Anyone out there feel like putting their bladder to the test? The more, the merrier! Might consider doing a Milovana or some other challenge if anyone wants to join in, just so there's a bit more structure to this. (Again, it motivates me to hydrate and hold.)

You’re not gonna pee during the break, are you?

When you’re very dehydrated, various tissues in your body are pulling in as much water as they can to feed themselves, which means a corresponding drop in blood volume. Less blood circulating means less pressure exerted against blood vessel walls (i.e., lower blood pressure.

In addition, men likely simply have larger bladders on average because men are generally larger than women. Plus, the musculature of the external urethra also differs between the sexes such that men can exert greater force to keep urine from escaping.

This is definitely true in my experience, and from what I’ve read, there is actually a scientific literature on this. Generally, studies of healthy, young adults find either no significant difference or a slight (10-20%) edge in terms of bladder capacity favoring men, and also find that women pee more frequently than men.

What a fun challenge! I wished I'd logged in earlier to see this when you were just getting started! I think I might try a similar thing myself sometime soon...

I’m ready to defeat your bladder again anytime

Does this mean you want a rematch?

So, I ended up peeing into a water bottle about five minutes after my last message since I didn’t have a measuring cup handy (that I was okay peeing into). Turned out I needed more than one lol I’d estimate I was holding about 1,200 ml. In total, I peed for just under a minute!

Alright, well, it's been about 4 hours total so I think I've about had enough. Gonna pee and then get some sleep. Thanks for holding with me! Hopefully we'll get to do this again sometime!

Now I guess the question is whether I should go pee or keep holding on. I really gotta pee, but I'm not leaking or anything yet...plus I really want to beat your volume lol

You leaked?!

Hehe I had a feeling I'd out-hold you

I'm at 7/10 here. This is getting difficult to ignore. My bladder is as hard as a rock when I feel that area. I'm not on the verge of bursting, but I do need to make a conscious effort to hold it now, and it's almost impossible to distract myself from it.
