My own ranking system for the 1/10-10/10 desperation scale
1 - just finished peeing within the last ten minutes, completely empty couldn’t squeeze out a drop if I wanted to
2 - starting to fill up again but not noticeable yet, would only be a trickle if I went to the bathroom and tried to pee
3 - first I am able to feel or notice, if I think really hard about it I can tell that if I went to the bathroom I would pee
4 - begins to be notable, on a normal day I might notice but wouldn’t get up yet to go pee
5 - 100% getting my attention, would be getting up to go if I wasn’t holding, but I don’t need to do anything about it if I don’t feel like it yet/it’s inconvenient to go now
6 - I definitely need to pee, starts to become a more nagging thought, I might subconsciously do a little pee dance but I am completely capable of holding it without one
7 - cant sit still anymore I need to pee, this is where I would definitely be going to the toilet and peeing if I wasn’t holding and hadn’t gone already, starting to pee dance and hold myself with my hands more seriously but I could stop and pretend I wasn’t if I absolutely had to
8 - the jump from 7 to 8 is quite sudden for me, I go from fine and holding to barley keeping it in, I am rocking back and forth, working very hard on keeping it under control, distractions don’t work very well anymore it’s all I can think about, might begin to leak here and there
9 - I have a wet patch on my underwear, last chance to make a final attempt to get most of it in the toilet, spurting without control, my body begins to do things against my will, I am leaking furiously and pee dances and holding with my hands don’t help anymore
10 - actively peeing full force, gushing out of me like a river, nothing could stop it
