I found my pee button! If I rub or scratch a certain spot just above the base of my spine, I'm filled with a nearly uncontrollable need to pee. This is great! I feel like a golden retriever puppy.

Does this work on everybody, or am I special?

Hugh, you're undeniably special, but I think that I have something similar. I have no idea what the explanation is though!

Dude. This "pee button" of which you speak could prove to be a brilliant weapon. Could you perhaps draw a diagram showing where one might find it? If all people have such a button, and if it is in the same place, we might find that it is a very useful thing.

Yeah, Hugh, we need to know where this is so at meetups you can be aimed at our enemies and scratched.

I don't have a button. But this reminds me of something. There is a place in the lower leg, the posterior tibial nerve, that is stimulated with a needle and an electrical current to treat stress incontinence and overactive bladder. A few of the cardiac rehab patients that I see do this.

I'm gonna get a t-shirt made:

"You scratch my ass and I'll pee on your face!"

How could it be offensive when it's the truth?

That's hilarious.

I'm scratching but not finding anything. No fair.

A little lower!

posted by Hugh Janus 27 July | 13:04

If I scratch any lower on the base of my spine, I'll be scratching something something else entirely...

all i had to do was read the word "pee" in the post slug and i felt an urge.

posted by syntax 27 July | 13:35

Why, TheDonF, I'd never suggest that, now, would I?

Hugh, you might be able to exploit this knowledge and turn it into a new, lucrative, form of pornography. I'm not sure who would want to watch it, but I am sure they are out there.

Hugh Janus is already a good porn name, I suggest you check and see if Peebutton.com is still available.

Pee button, eh? Let me spread some newspaper and I'll try it.

I don't have that but if you press on my belly button my ass falls off.

I don't think you should be playing with your prostate, Hugh. Especially at work.

posted by Lola_G 27 July | 15:07

Oh shit, that's my prostate? I just stuck a pencil in it!

posted by Hugh Janus 27 July | 15:18

Little man 'tate.

posted by Divine_Wino 27 July | 16:03

Yep.

That's our Hugh.

Sometimes when I get tension headaches, I put my forehead on the BF's chest and have him squeeze the back of my head/base of my neck. It hurts and feels very good a the same time. If he does it right, it makes me need to pee.

gah, googling this is impossible because of the content involved. However, I know I read a medical story a few years ago about a lady who was having some sort of (awake)medical procedure done on her lower back that involved electrical stimulation of various nerve groups. And, uh, she started to enjoy it a lot more than expected. Turns out there are nerves in that area that can stimulate female orgasms. I'd say that tops the pee button
