You do know that urine is sterile (if you're healthy) at the point it leaves your body. It might even be cleaner than the water you're showering in...

Let's face it, peeing in the shower has got to be better than peeing in a pool :eek:

You're talking to the girl who washes her hands while in the shower, than washes them again while she's getting ready :p. My bathroom mirror is pretty clean too, I still refuse to wipe them with my hands when they're foggy.

Ok yea peeing in the pool is pretty nasty. My cousin used to joke that the reason the kiddie pool is so warm is because all the kids pee in it. Once a kid actually took a crap in the pool, and they had to close down the kid pool and drain all the water :eek:.

I don't do that either but it's more because I hate smears than germs

I was once at the pool when a kid threw up. The gruesome thing - the attendant got some kinda of net and just scooped the vomit out. :eek: Never used that pool again. :eek:
 
ah right. I stand corrected. Here you had me wondering what type of Body Wash you used :D
 
No, it never occurred to me, but now that I think about it, it might save water since you don't have to flush. Hmmm.....

And as far as urine being sterile, that's not quite true. I do Urinalysis in a hospital lab, trust me, there are all kinds of icky things in urine. Healthy urine is usually sterile though.
 
I do when im really really tired and lazy.

I have noticed people doing it in the showers in my dorm. Its gross but I do it too lol.
 
Sure. Why the hell not? :)

Part of the reason is, I live in a building that dates back from the 1800's, and apparently, back then, the norm here was... having the toilet in its own 3x3 ft. room, separate from the actual bathroom, with the sink and the bathtub inside.

That would make it inconvenient to not pee while showering, if I ever had the urge. I'd have to walk from the bathroom to the toilet/room and back, potentially exposing raw nekkidness™ along the way, to people in the kitchen, the hallway, people outside windows in either of those rooms etc.

But... then again, I'm lazy as well, so... ;)
 
Yep, I do. I think I even remember Madonna saying years ago that she did (and something about curing athletes foot?).

How many of you guys do the housework and clean the shower? ;)

I clean them (and everything else). I even go as far as bleaching them once a week.

(edit, I found the Madonna reference)

Dave: Oh, jeez, we're out of time again. [laughter] What are you going to do now? What are you going to do after the show?
Madonna: Did you know that it's good if you pee in the shower?
Dave: I'm sorry?
Madonna: I'm serious! [crowd reacts uncomfortably] No, seriously, peeing in the shower is really good. It ... it fights, um, um, athlete's foot. I'm serious, no, urine is like, is like ... is like an antiseptic. It's all got to do with the enzymes in your body.
Dave: Don't ... don't you know a good pharmacist? [laughter]
Madonna: Ummm ...
Dave: Get yourself some Desenex! Or whatever that stuff is.
Madonna: I wanted to share something that I knew with you.
Dave: Okay, well, thank you very much. Ah, I'm going to try to wrap this up.

No I don't. If I wanted to step in piss I would let my dog pee inside.

Seriously, the toilet is like 2 steps away.
 
That poll should have been a public one. ;)

I really thought about it but I felt the response would be more genuine with a private poll. :D


Beat me! Priceless.

I am really surprised that so many people do it. I had this discussion with friends before and everybody said they didn't.

Anyway, it sounds pretty horrible to me so I piss in the toilet (like a civilized person ;) ).

Next time try having those sort of discussions with a few beers on hand. :D


As for me...as I've lived in the college dorm and shared a shower space with ~20 other guys for the past couple of years I've been taking advantage of 1] The curtain divided stalls (we didn't have dividers in boarding school) 2] the fact the school cleans the bathrooms daily. Unfortunately I've been conditioned to the point where I have to pee really badly upon entering the shower...

I also do other shower multi-tasking, such as shampooing, peeing and sipping beer at the same time, should I be showering before going out. Ah, college life.
 
How could you vote yes vs sometimes? So for yes its people who only pee in showers?

:p Seems like more work then its worth, starting up a shower when ever you need to pee!

I interpreted yes as people who do it whenever they shower, or at least whenever they felt like peeing when they're showering. The sometimes people are the ones who only do it when they can't hold it, or rarely feel the urge to pee while showering.
