The Short Answer

Could be a bit like 'breaking the seal' when you're out on the beers. When you haven't peed for a while, the walls of the urethra a stuck together, along a lot of it's length. It's also relatively dry. It takes a relatively full bladder to force the urine down the urethra to open it up. Once you've peed. The walls of the urethra are now wet. It now takes far less urine to un-stick the walls as they are now relatively lubricated. So If you've peed once, your bladder barely needs to fill again before you get the urge to pee.
