always sounded made up to me; sometimes you just gotta put pause the ride, it doesn't seem like it should merit actual harm

    it's the opposite of harmful. it's recommended to be able to do it and keep that sphincter muscle effective as you age. once you "learn" that muscle and how to contract/relax it, you can work it while you're not peeing.

    it's the same as the kegel deal.

      I've read that you specifically should not do kegels while peeing, but the rest of the time they're good.

      I read this by googling "does it actually cause harm to interrupt pee" and I'm too lazy to look up a source on my phone
