For the past decade now I pee while sitting on the toilet bowl, a lesson in hygiene that I learned from my Muslim brothers. It prevents dribbling on the rim of the bowl or on the floor, splashing, flushing urine from my body like a horse, and expelling urine as though it were te karit.

I also have a secret reason for doing so, which, I am certain, my Muslim brothers were never aware of. When I pee while sitting on the toilet bowl, my body experiences sensations akin to multiple orgasm. The soles of my feet and the palms of my hands first tingle pleasurably, and then the feeling creeps gently toward the center of my body.
