people sometimes get it snagged on stuff and yank the balloon back down the urethra but then the pipe is all swollen if anything you need a smaller tube

Isn't the balloon more toward the bladder?

I've had to wear a few in my time and thank christ I can't feel it much.

Now I'm an intermittant 6 hour man.. heh. The cool thing is I always have lube close by.

Apparently he ear rapes people...
(No not in a scary movie way, more along the lines of a hand rape).

i'm sorry but you just can't walk up to people you don't know and give them a wet willy. that's grounds for ass kicking.

Just a note on swimming as related to that topics:

Like Keith, I had a pool in my High School, but the pool was notoriously filthy and old-fashioned. But yes, it confirmed the old stereotype that black people are rubbish at swimming.

One theory is social - black people don't readily have access to pools and swim lessons and all that fancy nonsense. However, we live in the suburbs, and there is a large population of wealthy black people so in my case, that's crap.

The other is physiological - it is a well-known fact that black people have denser muscle mass. Think how many black sprinters there are in the Olympics, a lot. How many black swimmers - not many. This is because black people are prone, literally, to sinking. Sounds mad.

The odd thing is that I knew a black fella who was an amazing swimmer and could have easy gone to international competition, but he left the sport to play basketyball and football (and was also very successful).

I don't remember how exactly I learned, but my father tells me that his brother threw him out of a tree into the lake below!!! He figured it out right then and there, with the advice of the older kids being shouted at him. He's a country-ass Puerto Rican, so I guess that was standard practice.

Sorry for the long reply.

I doubt the catheter story, the purpose of the balloon in the bladder is supposed to keep it from retreating back down the urethrea so the "pop out" is unrealistic. Calling Dr. Dan, Doc Dave or any other fucking doctors on this website. Also the nurse can stop the flow.

True or not, that piss bag story had me laughing my ass off.

i think its psychological, an evolved behavior survival instict. they have crocs in the fresh water in africa. and those crazy great white sharks that jump out of the water at stuff off the coast. i cant imagine theres that much recreational swimming done in africa, i would imagine youd die from it. so everyone with a healthy fear of the water went on to breed, those that didnt have that fear, went on to get eaten. wouldnt take long to become a dominant trait.

and blacks do have denser muscle mass, which is why they are physically superior at most sports, and it does affect how easily they float, but they still float pretty easy, so im voting for psychological or combination of psychological/physiological. careful though, talking about it, remember in school how they teach the difference is only skin deep? id hate to have someone think your racist.
