-Caveat Lector-
Well, as long as we are speculating, I always figured that Paul
was afflicted with severe nervous disorder, which caused an
uncontrollable trembling of his extremities. This troubled him
so much because whenever he held himself to urinate, his tremor
caused him to masturbate, which is a sin.
No offense from me either - just a thought.
