+220 It's weird how we've evolved so that our sexual organs are the ones we also piss out of, amirite?

for guys, yeah. but girls don't piss out of their vaginas (a lot of guys don't seem to know this)

Still, they're pretty close together. Although it would suck to give birth out of where you pee.

it would suck to be born from where someone pees.

Agreed. But it's almost as gross that we're born our of where people menstruate and have ejaculated.

not so much i don't think. pee is a whole lot worse than reproduction-related fluids, which are obviously necessary for creating life. especially since the vagina's extremely sterile and washes out all that ejaculation long before a baby is born.

True.

Not saying it'd be any less gross, but pee is sterile too.

Oh I know, I was afraid that mentioning it might reduce my credibility. Thanks for doing that for me :)

There are actually two different tubes, I think, for both guys and girls.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

No guys only have one tube, the urethra transports both urine and semen

Oh, okay, thanks for clearing that up.

It makes a lot of sense, actually. I'll explain later.

Are you challenging me or just genuinely curious? The thing is, the kidneys and bladder happen to be relatively fragile organs, as are the sexual organs. Evolution put them in easy to defend/hard to get to areas. The whole peeing/ejaculating out of the same area predates the human's silly upright position. Look at any mammal, the genitals and urinary system are placed away from the front of the animal. Both would be weak points for potential predators, and thus they are in an area that would require making it through any mammal's main defences. Since they are both hidden so close together, why not just combine the end tubing to excrete both? It's all really clever.

That was really interesting.

Yes I was genuinely curious, but I did want to see if you knew (and I was too lazy to look it up).

Well, would you rather pee out of your face?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

It'd be cool to pee out of your fingertip, like in one of the Scary Movies.
