Well, your urine comes out like it's rifled

Men actually do have a small flesh nodule in the urethra that causes the urine to spiral. Women don’t. It makes the stream more even.

My speculation is you can pee quieter, and less messy.

Unless you just ejaculated, then it's a full on sprinkler system.

My speculation is that the spiral cleans out the urethra, especially post-ejaculation. It's why it's a lot less common for men to have UTIs than women.

That’s not why lol, might be a small contributing factor but it’s primarily due to the length of the urethra (and thus the ease for pathogens to “climb-up” to the bladder

It's why men get less frequent UTIs. Spiral stream cleans the piping better

No. Fewer UTI's is because your urethra is a foot long. A woman's is only a couple of inches. Way easier for contaminants to get in

My wife was wondering why I hum the James Bond theme when we’re having sex. It all makes sense now
