Question

Why do we have to pee when we get into water?

Answer 1

our bladders hate us

Answer 2

Usually the body of water one is getting into tends to be at a lower temperature then the 98.6 degrees the human body is usually at.  Do to a full submersion of the body into the water your body temperature is dramatically dropped, as a defense mechanism your body "feels" the need to dispel the urine in your bladder (in an attempt to warm the rest of your body).

Answer 3

oh i have the opposite problem. ive trained myself to not pee in the pool so much i cant pee in the ocean even if i tried. but i know what youre sayin. i have no idea. sorry

Answer 4

to warm yourself up...

Answer 5

I don't know. I think that's just you.

But it's ok to pee in the water if its chlorinated. Chlorine kills pee in nine seconds =)

Answer 6

I don't know actually.

I have the same problem.

Maybe looking at the water makes us pee more because of water.

I dunno...

But I understand you!

Always,

Answer 7

I don't. Maybe you're H2O intolerant?

Answer 8

i would suggest you don't for hygiene sake if your in a public pool or in the sea

but it maybe because our pee is warm and it helps us adjust to the cold temperature of the water
