Yes, it is normal for a small group of rather sexually eccentric people to drink pee, including their own. I myself prefer to not drink my own pee (nor anyone else’s, for that matter). Thus despite being told by several people that doing this can be rather stimulating in a tangy sort of way, (and that the fake orange juice known as Tang tasted like it), I have somehow managed to make it through my many years of life without once having imbibed.
First, please forgive what will likely be a somewhat long and complicated response. To me, this is a great question and so warrants a serious answer. Also, I admit, people have offered a lot of personally relevant thoughts already. There is, however, quite a difference between personally relevant thoughts and answers based on a legitimate…
Arguably, Ashwin, understanding this question should be in the top five concepts for all those practicing in the medical / psychological professions. Being in the latter, my answer will focus on DSM-V diagnoses. Setting aside the myriad problems in the DSM’s design, the key to diagnosing lies in a single word. “Differential.” Here, the process…

It alone asks, what tangible qualities must we understand in order to know the nature of all things in our world, including us? Not surprisingly, the minute you try to answer this question, the present…
There is a time in child development when children live to ask, and hear answers to, natural “why” questions. During this time, parents are gods and children hear their answers as absolutes. Sadly, by the time these children enter third grade, they have projected this pattern onto out-in-the-world mommies and daddies. And by the time…
