Just like for women, embarrassment, great discomfort and begging your partner to pick up cranberry juice. Men get them too, and they feel just as bad, and just as bad about them.
Every woman in your life has likely had a urinary tract infection, or UTI, whether she’s told you or not. That’s because once women are sexually active, urinary tract infections are so common that some of women have had at least one dance with the pee demon in their lives, with another experiencing repeat hauntings.
A burning sensation in the pee hole accompanied by the intense, constant need to take a leak. It’s like diarrhea, only with pee, except after you sprint to the nearest bathroom and drop trou, instead of a torrent of liquid pouring out of you in sweet release, nothing more than a drop or two emerges.
It’s one of nature’s sickest, weirdest (literal) burns, topped only by its complementary symptoms of fevers, chills and fatigue that usually mean shit’s gotten real like, straight-into-your-kidneys real.
Elsewhere, men or their girlfriends take to forums to figure out what’s happening downstairs when they experience the burn.
