Why are some guys’ pee streams so powerful?

r/

So, I was in a public restroom and the guy in the stall next to me sounded like he was pouring a bucket of water into the toilet (I mean, maybe he was), but why are streams different?

    Some people aim directly at the water and try to pretend their dick is a firehose. I swear some guys take pride in peeing as loudly as possible.

    Because everyone’s body is different. Plus, he could pee directly into the water in the toilet, not on the toilet wall.

    There are a lot of variables, like bladder capacity, level of urgency, and even how the guy is aiming. I’m actually hypersensitive about others hearing me and having to hear others to the point that I don’t use public restrooms that don’t have urinals.

    Depends how big your bladder is mostly and how hard you can push it out I’d guess?

    I don’t think it has anything to do with dick size lol

    When I eat a lot of sugar I have to pee in the middle of the night and it sounds like that. Also it makes me feel like my bladder is about to explode. One of many reasons why I’ve given up sugar for the most part. So maybe a bad diet

    Depends on how badly I have to pee. More volume means greater pressure.

    There’s a non-zero chance that was extremely violent diarrhea. I’ve had the shits so bad it sounded like a fire hose in a mill pond.

    It’s something you train, you’ll get there eventually.

    With enough work you’ll sound like you are frying chicken when you’re in the bathroom

    Kegels

    You do them for too long, you’ll destroy the toilet, and possibly also the wall it’s attached to

    That was out of his butt because he was having horrible diarrhea. He will need to rehydrate.

  16. Piper6728 Avatar

    Maybe he’s held it longer?

    I know if i have had to hold it a while before being able to pee, it shoots like a cannon (maybe pressure builds or more and more is held if you cant go.)

    That’s why I pee on the seat. No noise

    I have some bad news for you…

  24. fronkinstein Avatar

    It has nothing to do with 🍆 size. I have a pretty large one, and my pees are typically pretty mild sounding unless I’ve been holding for a long time. I have a small bladder so I’m in and out pretty quick.

    Prob more bladder capacity than anything.

  25. Ok-Fruit3706 Avatar

    I mean mine varies widely. Just depends on how badly I need to go and how long I’ve had to hold it.

    Even then, I always aim for minimal splash onto myself or my clothes which will also dampen the sound created usually.

  26. EnLitenLurker Avatar

    Based on the sound of my previous partners pees and the anatomy of their penises, I have concluded it is due to the size of their urethra.

    (I am a woman, sorry. But it felt like this question was best answered by a person with multiple penile experience.)

  27. Bryanthomas44 Avatar

    My dad said that when I peed it sounded like a horse. Now that I’m 63 my stream sounds more like a bumblebee.

  28. RoostyChickendog Avatar

    That person was hydrated. I drink 4-5 1L bottles of water every day and it’s like that.

    Has to do with kegels and core strength lol. That stronger it is the more force you can use to push it and the faster it goes.

  31. anvil-sun Avatar

    High flow urethra has its challenges. (My experience)

    1. Splash back at a urinal. No matter what I do or how much I try to control the flow it is fucking gross.

    2. Unless you have a high volume of man gravy, it doesn’t shoot very far. It might fly a couple of inches.

    I just have a strong stream. 😭

    We can “squeeze” it out faster, it’s a conscious thing.

  34. Eastern-Heart9863 Avatar

    Probably had to go urgently or maybe he has a foreskin and it just sounds louder/powerful

  35. KingTy99 Avatar

    I have a very aggressive piss stream. I’m not sure if there’s a reason for it. Just the way she goes.

  36. No-Cauliflower-4661 Avatar

    It’s because he has a bigger penis than you

    You can push to make it harder

    Get your prostate checked. Could be inflamed causing a narrowing in the plumbing.

  41. Dismal_Hedgehog9616 Avatar

    He might have been pouring his slop bucket in there. I don’t worry about splash back because I have a designated pee corner in most rooms, and places.

  42. bezm12 Avatar

    You know you’re getting old when it takes you longer to stop peeing than it takes you to pee.

  43. Ban-Circumcision-Now Avatar

    There’s always the meatal stenosis possibility as that can slow down the stream, much more common if circumcised and many men don’t even know they have it and just assume they have a slow/imprecise stream

  44. TheBooneyBunes Avatar

    Pressure, also the amount your body needs to get rid of probably affects how much effort it uses but I dunno the science

    Bro’s insecure about his piss stream XD

    Jokes aside, there’s variance in most things in life. Back when I was younger, my family used to do road trips. We had a huge van with a giant sliding door. Instead of pulling into a town when we needed to pee, my dad would just pull over on the side of the road. He would open the sliding door, and my two brothers and I would have contests to see who could piss the furthest. I had one of those magical streams. I outdistanced both of them by a yard and a half. Why? Who the fuck knows. Bigger bladder? Wider pisser? Idk bro. Some people were born for greatness others for pissing poop stains off the inside of the toilet bowl like a pressure washer.

    The power comes from how long you’ve been holding it

  48. the_jokah_baby Avatar

    I’ve often thought about this when in the bathroom and it sounds like a fire hose.

    My guess is some men have larger bladders and less urgency to go based on genetics so their bladder is more full of piss?

  49. TheScalemanCometh Avatar

    We are simply well hydrated with exceptional bladder control. Full tank has heavy pressure.

    “So powerful”, I can’t be the only one who found that wording hilarious.

    Full bladder probably.

    Also sometimes it’s cause your just relaxed.

    I know whenever i take a piss after my first few beers on a friday night it feels amazing and the stream is strong and direct..no sprinkler action.

    Story time: I met some dude I went to high school with one time we all got drunk and as we were getting a ride home he asks the dude driving to pull over so he can piss. He turns to everyone in the car before walking out and says. “I know this is weird but this is how I normally piss.” He starts to pee and it sounds like a fucking hose fully opened and he takes a 2 second piss

    Weirdly, this is something that I have thought about more than I should, bc I am kind of irrationally jealous of guys who have powerful pee streams. Yes, I realize this sounds EXTREMELY stupid and childish. The only explanation I can come up with is maybe they have wider pee holes that allow for a greater flow rate.

    American here. If it’s during the day and I’m at home then directly into the water. Middle aged but sexually active with my wife so prostate is very good and healthy so it’s loud. If I want it louder then I can hold onto my member, squeeze a bit and release my kegal muscle then clench down like I’m going poop and release my grasp and it comes out extra pressurized.
    If it’s night and everyone is asleep turn aim for side of bowl, or sit to pee.
    I always aim at the side when going in public at a urinal. That’s the only way to not get splash back

    I will guess this is a healthy person who stays hydrated. When I was a competitive athlete I aways had a story strong pee stream. After age 60m, when I exercise and stay hydrated that is true.

  61. Bubble_buns_1985 Avatar

    Every penis has a uniquely sized urethra( the tube urine travels thru to exit the body). Therefore every guys stream sounds a lil different than his buddies you know. It’s just the nature of the beast man.

  62. isymfs Avatar

    Stream leaves circumcised dick differently to uncut too. Cut makes the stream leave neat and sounds quieter. Uncut the pee comes out more like the neat stream is being interrupted by foreskin.
    Source have 3 sons im cut they are not.

    My son’s piss is always louder than mine no matter what. :p

    I sit down to pee. Even at urinals

    Differences in anatomy and where they aim (water or side of bowl).

  72. fresh-dork Avatar

    bladder pressure and abdominal control, i think

  73. trevb75 Avatar

    I have a theory that even from the next cubicle the higher pitch sounds are blocked by the walls and you only hear the louder more prominent low pitch sounds that echo around. I say this because it seems like EVERY guy is louder than me.

    Oh i dont care anymore now that im grown up and could actually pee down into the trough at wrigley field . Imagine a tiny kid squeezed in fighting for a spot and getting sprayed in the face. Thats not supposed to be my memory of my first time going to a proffessional ball game as an 8 yr old. The good ol 70s

    Most mammals, regardless of size, tend to empty their bladders in about 21 seconds. This “universal urination duration” was found in a study that analyzed the urination habits of various mammals, from rats to elephants. Factors like bladder pressure and urethra length play a role in this phenomenon.

    Maybe he was a big guy with a large bladder.
