This isn’t physics. It’s psychology. You’ve no doubt trained yourself to piss as soon as you get home or you’re someone who goes, “Well, there’s a toilet. May as well go now rather than be caught busting later but no toilet around!” You’ve done is so many times that now it happens even if you don’t really need to go.

Your brain relaxes your involuntary sphincter when it sees the toilet. Then the voluntary sphincter is the only thing holding in your urine. Psychology and Biology.
