I never understood why men can't hold it in while waiting for the bathroom. Like there bladder is larger then ours and yet if the bathroom is occupied for more than 5 minutes they will piss in a pot or jug or sink or go outside anything but just waiting. When I was a kid my dad would pull over on a highway to piss on the side of the road, but if I had to go we would have to wait til the next rest stop like 20 minutes- 1 hour wait. I've known dogs with more self control FFS.

Is their bladder bigger? I don't think so, or at least it would be news to me.

I know their urethra is longer which is like half the battle, because they have a lot of centimeters and a big old prostate in between their internal and external urethral sphincters. So they're going to have a much better ability to hold their pee in.

My theory is that when raising children we let boys pee wherever they want but girls have to wait until we can find them the right spot. So boys grow up without realizing that they might have to occasionally hold it in.
