Until recently I thought the concept of the pee shiver was a universally accepted fact. However, in a recent conversation with my wife, I realized that she has never heard of this before. I have had the idea confirmed by multiple of my guy friends that have also get shivers from time to time while they pee. Someone please eli5 so I can relay the information on to my wife.

I remember reading, although can’t remember where, that it happens because peeing transfers enough heat out of the body to trigger the shiver reflex. Can’t really vouch for the veracity of that, though.
