When Shit Hits the Fan: We All Know How to Pee

Prof. Dr. Bettina Möllring

Hosts: Rasa Weber & Lukas Franciszkiewicz

We all know how to pee/shit, and we know it right from the start – we know it because we are humans with a body, and our bodies need to take in and therefore we need to let go. So talking about pissing/shiting on a physical or however natural level – there is for each of us no miracle about it.
But if we talk about „IT“ in a social context, about us being social individuals – there is indeed a SECRET about „how to pee or how to shit“.
