  • - So the other day while I was peeing,

  • out of the corner of my eye, I notice my friend shiver.

  • I didn't think much of it, but then when I finished peeing,

  • I shivered too.

  • What was going on?

  • Was this normal?

  • I decided to get to the bottom of this and figure out

  • what are the pee shivers.

  • When I got home, I hopped on my computer

  • to do some research.

  • There was a lot of different theories online,

  • but I couldn't fine a clear explanation.

  • What I did find is the pee shivers seemed only effect guys.

  • So I surveyed the office to see what I could learn.

  • Hey Quinta, can I ask you a question?

  • - Um hm.

  • - Do you ever get a weird shiver after you pee?

  • - No.

  • - No.

  • - Not even like a little bit?

  • - No.

  • - I get shivers all the time, so it's hard to tell

  • if it's just from peeing or just from being alive.

  • - Yeah, like when you release.

  • - Yeah.

  • - They're like orgasmic.

  • - I know, isn't it great? - They're the best.

  • - No.

  • - No.

  • - Who gets that? People get that?

  • - You're talking about it's like the end of peeing

  • and you just have that involuntary shake?

  • - [Host] Yeah.

  • - Totally a thing.

  • - The likelihood that I pee shiver

  • is how much I have to pee before I pee.

  • - I feel like I pee shiver 100% in the morning.

  • I always pee shiver right after I wake up.

  • - Can I ask you a really quick question?

  • - Yeah, I do get the pee shivers.

  • - You do get the pee shivers?

  • - I do. Right in the middle.

  • Usually at the beginning it's like almost every time.

  • - Really?

  • - It's a real thing.

  • - Yeah, right?

  • - It's must be a genetic, maybe I'm an X-woman.

  • - So aside from Ashley, none of the girls had even heard

  • of the pee shivers.

  • While every guy said they had.

  • It definitely seemed to be a guy thing.

  • - Yeah, duh.

  • Who doesn't?

  • - Sarah had a theory that seemed to make sense.

  • - Maybe it's something to do with the fact that like

  • the pee goes through your penis,

  • but like a woman, it's separate? Do you know what I mean?

  • - [Host] Yeah.

  • - 'Cause like It's a separate thing. So, I don't know.

  • Does that make sense, kinda?

  • - [Host] It does, but I'm not a professional.

  • So I went to a professional to see if he knows why

  • girls don't get the shivers.

  • - That's a great question. I'm not really sure why.

  • I do know that

  • it's a little bit easier for men to have an orgasm

  • than for a woman, so the reason why I think it might

  • be related to a orgasm is because you're still sending off

  • those same nerves in terms of having an orgasm

  • and getting an erection, and in fact, some patients

  • quite a few of my patients actually use the word,

  • ejaculation or orgasm when they're describing a pee shiver

  • and so they're using those exact same words

  • for a different condition, which leads me to think

  • that it has something to do the nervous system.

  • In regards to pee shivers,

  • everything we've talked about today is really been based on

  • what I feel is the ideology or

  • the cause of having pee shivers 'cause there really is

  • no significant data research out there.

  • - [Host] So what are the pee shivers?

  • Well, no one really knows.

  • It's an unexplained phenomenon that proves

  • our bodies are still quite the mystery.

  • Or, like Ashley suggested.

  • - Maybe I'm an X-woman.

  • - Maybe we're all just X-men.

  • - That's how you find out that you're a mutant

  • is you shiver while you pee.

  • - I don't think so, it sounds perfectly pleasant though.

  • - It's pretty nice.

- So the other day while I was peeing,
