Being one who easily gets to the 'mad dash for the restroom' point when I find something really funny and one who just has to run to the restroom a lot in general, I was convinced that guys had a huge advantage in this department; I thought they could just kink their penises like lawn hoses, thereby stopping the flow until able to get to a restroom! Um, my first serious boyfriend in college kindly let me know the truth about this. I was like 19 or 20 at the time. Thanks, Matt!
