When men pee, are we just allowing the pee to flow out or are we subconsciously pushing it? Also, when we do push it, what’s happening there?

For men (and women) the bladder is like a water balloon. As it fills up, it stretches out and the only thing that keeps it from leaking is a muscle that pinches the neck of the balloon. When the bladder is full you can relax the pinching muscle and the stretchy bladder will let out the pee just like a full balloon. When it is not all the way full or if you want to push the pee out faster you can squeeze your abdominal muscles which is like squeezing the back of the water balloon while it is draining.
