No.. the bladder is like a balloon, holding urine stretches it out and you could end up with worse incontinence.

No it's not; in fact it weakens the bladder as others have said. Also, you can get renal reflux, which could cause kidney infections. If you feel like you want to go, then go!
To strengthen the bladder, do pelvic floor/Kegel exercises. Yes, although it's mainly suggested to women especially after giving birth, even men can do them. Just tense up the muscle you'd use to stop yourself from peeing, hold it for six seconds, then release. Do that about ten times in a row, three times a day.

Holding it for as long as possible could actually cause premature incontinence. There is a contractile muscle and nerve at the bottom of your bladder prior to urethral entry. When the pressure builds on that muscle, the nerve sends a signal to your brain that you have to go. Waiting can damage the muscle causing leakage and incontinence later on.

I don't believe that will work. For stress incontinence, the deficiency is with the muscles that close the bladder. Squeeze those muscles, in women the exercise is called kegels, frequently to tone those muscles. Sorry, I don't know what the exercise is called for guys.

I can't imagine that it would be as you could end up with a bladder or kidney infection. I would talk to a Dr. about that. I've had both and they certainly aren't fun.
