You could also make the "full tank condition" painfull, without making draining it pleasurable. Shouldn't lead to addiction, and would work as well.

  At risk of being quoted ... that description already matches my internal experience of the psychology of bodily waste elimination. I certainly wouldn't characterize urination as fun in the sense of "hm, how can I make this happen more often?"

  That would only work if you wanted the organism to always reach a full tank, or near full tank, before taking the action. I'd wager that's a non-ideal situation. Think about the times you've reached a completely full bladder...not a good position to be in. So you have a combo. Taking a whiz is pleasurable, so you do it when you can. But if you get over full, you get a nice zap of discomfort to let you know you're in a danger zone.

    you make the pain gradually increase from 0 to 1 for blader filled to 0.8 to 1.0 respectivly, and add automatic safety valve to be sure. It's basically how it works right now, no need for messing with positive reinforcement.
