I think "extremely surprising in an unpleasant way" would be a better term than "hurt". It feels kind of like having a straightened coat hanger run into your pee-hole much further than you probably would have thought one COULD be.Kemrain said:Do they hurt bad?

Icky. I'm 'looking forward' to one after 'bottom surgery'. they keep you in the hospital until you learn to use your new plumbing, and pulling one of those things out of a new and very tender hole doesn't sound appealing.Torm said:I think "extremely surprising in an unpleasant way" would be a better term than "hurt".

Once it is in, it isn't that bad, except for the ominous foreknowledge that it WILL be taken out, and that feels about like the same thing backwards - except, thankfully, it goes faster. Left me momentarily trying to cuss the nurse who took it out with everything I could think of all at once - which, fortunately, locked up my brain and caused me not to say anything.![]()
Well.... if you didn't know by feel whether or not you were done peeing, that could have some unpleasant consequences, too. Even deadly, in nature, since urine is one of the most powerful tracking scents.Kemrain said:Why god decided to put nerves in the urethra, I'll never know.
True, but all you'd need is a little nerve up by the bladder that would let you know the valves had been opened or closed. You don't need to feel every millimeter of the damn thing.Torm said:Well.... if you didn't know by feel whether or not you were done peeing, that could have some unpleasant consequences, too.
