Reply to comment by Digital-Chupacabra in eli5 - Why do we get the urge to pee whenever we touch something wet? Especially in the winter/cold weather by Hammude90

I said "we" because I have known plenty of people who also relate to my question.

I only ever heard older people say it.

Sounds like some kind of neural cross connection, possibly similar to how some people get the urge to sneeze when they see a bright light. My brother has that, strongly. I have it, but weakly. Neither of us, as far as I know, have that pee sensation thing you describe.
