Men have far lower chance on inflamed bladders than women as peeing pushes any bacteria etc out before it reaches the bladder (or reproductive organs), which is also why men with inflamed bladders are treated with more concern as whatever made it is far more persistent than most infections. This feature has the happy advantage that with sex you arent first spraying a mass of bacteria before the children seeds. So Yeah its pretty clean! Aside from the piss. | |

| Jun 25, 2018 at 19:17 | comment | added | Demigan | Life could evolve differently, but having as few holes in your body as possible is a very useful trait and the fact that you keep it relatively clean by excreting is a bonus. | |
