all I can tell you, is that a male bladder is larger than a female, and in general it seems men can hold it for much longer than women. Men also seem to have a reflex action, that when they need to pee and cant, somehow it switches on an erection which then seems to help them hold it longer - whether it shuts off the ureter or is just psychological (ie, they now have something else to occupy their minds!) I dont know, but that is what happens in my experience. As for dangers, I dont know, but the kidneys seem to me to be most likely to be affected. They are drawing off stuff to make urine all the time, and if there is nowhere for it to go then it cant be good for them. Following on from that, I'd guess there would be consequent effects on blood composition which would have affects on the rest of the body. Ultimately, I would guess that urination could no longer be withheld, because the body would switch on the tap automatically to protect itself? Thats the point where danger would be averted I suppose. E
