When I pee without shitting i need to pee harder but when I shit pee comes out easily. I am male.

I have the same experience and always assumed it was caused by bowel contents putting pressure on the urethra in/around the prostate. I'd be interested to learn if there's anything more to it than that and if it's a uniquely male experience.. (I assume you're male?)
