A healthy male bladder can hold 400 - 700 millilitres of urine before it reaches capacity, but it can be stretched to hold much more. A friend of mine can drink 4 pints of beer (2300 milli-lilli-litres) without having to pee. I can't even begin to get my head around that!
As someone who has spent years having to pee after just a few swigs of tea/ coffee/ water/ beer that impresses me so much that I suspect I may have 'peeness envy'.
If only I could pee like that - I'd be a real man! Am I the only one? Sigmund Freud certainly didn't touch on it in his seminal 1908 article "On the Sexual Theories of Children" in which he introduces the concept of 'penis envy'.
I've never cared about the size of my penis. It's probably average but I haven't done the research. That its always been fit for purpose is good enough for me. In public urinals I have no interest in catching a glimpse of other men's cocks. However I'm fully signed up to peeness envy! As I stand there waiting and waiting in the hope of ejecting a thimble full or two of my own urine I always have an ear open for the sound of other's pee splashing copiously in to the trough below. If only my peeness could be that big! It used to be but I no longer remember those good old days where I could hold my own in any urinal.
Remembering back to my childhood - my best friend JK and I once had a competition to see who could pee for the longest. We each drank a big bottle of puneapple flavoured Maine lemonade (12 pence I think) and then hung around the spaceship tree beside my house waiting to need to go. When the time came JK peed for far longer than me, and on top of that he was able to spray the jet right up into the air above his head. We were 8 or 9 at the time. Ah those were the days! Perhaps I've had peeness envy ever since? What on earth would Freud have had to say!?
