Youth

One of the most under-rated experiences of youth has got to be the ability to piss satisfactorily. "Piss" as in urinate, pass water, etc.

I'm not sure how women experience this, but, for men, a good piss (and "good" is defined as a strong, forceful, even, and consistent flow) is bliss. I've not spoken to a single man who disagrees, though i've spoken to many who may not have seen such a simple, necessary human act as being so pleasurable.

Most of us really take for granted such a basic pleasure. Its something we've been doing since we were born, and its something we do several times a day, and its something we rarely give a second thought. But i'm reminded of a time when my grand dad was still alive, and he suffered from small little stones in his bladder - it made pissing painful, uncertain and difficult. "Dad":http://www.profizham.org, a noted "nephrologist":http://www.uhrainbow.com/services/specialties/definitions2.asp before he switched over to infectious diseases, once told me that when a person who suffers from "batu karang" feels like a hot rod is being shoved up his penis each time he goes to the toilet. Oh my goodness.

I guess the message i'm trying to get at is that its sometimes the simplest things in life that give us the most pleasure if we just stop for a moment and think about it. Sadly, its these things that we often take for granted the most. Pay that a thought the next time nature calls.
