there are a lot of recreational substances that can stop you up in that area. I did a lot of opiates for a lot of years and you can spend hours trying to empty your bladder.

what I discovered is to dangle the tip of your johnson in some warm water (note - water from the tap can be hot enough to burn you down there so be careful), closer to body temperature the better. relaxes things right up

    that’s interesting. I don’t think it goes up into your kidneys, I believe it goes into your bladder. I remember reading about it as a possible side effect for, I believe, testicular torsion surgery, but they said that it’s temporary, and not actually a problem.

    I’ve actually got some in the fridge from a suspected bladder infection from last year. the test came back clean so I never took it. I never considered taking it after partying lol

      You are correct it is bladder not the kidneys. It is called retrograde ejaculation.

      Either way it wasn’t something I wanted to happen so I took a few weeks off wanking while I was in pain from the kidney stones.
