Most showers in private residences have toilets right next to them. Why do you people not just use the toilet to piss?
The answer is no. From iVillageHealth.com on herpes: Even if you have an active lesion, you cannot transmit herpes through the water. The herpes virus does not survive outside the body for very long, and there is no chance of it being transmitted through water in a swimming pool. Intimate contact is necessary in order to contract herpes. From iemily.com (health and wellness for girls) on gonorrhea: You might have heard a rumor that you can catch gonorrhea from swimming pools, towels, toilet seats, or water splashing on you from the toilet bowl. No need to worry. You can't get gonorrhea from any of those things. From Aids101 on HIV: The chemicals used in swimming pools and hot tubs would instantly kill any HIV, if the hot water hadn't killed it already. In fact, there is a far greater risk of infection from swimming pools to those who HAVE sexually transmitted diseases than there is to healthy people.
It's just that, you go in there with the mentality of having to take a shower; and then that warm water hits your hand, and its like, well, I don't want to get everything all wet outside, so, I guess I'll just go right here in the drain! That's how it works for me. The worst is when you feel the need to poop while in the shower and then have to drop a deuce buck nekkid while dripping wet.
Oh my freaking God: In disbelief, I went to the roomie with whom I am closest ( my best friend, really) and asked her if she does this or knows anyone who does. She said " I don't DO it, but I have done it." I asked her if she'd done it here...she said yes. She was very embarrassed ( but amazingly honest, considering) but said that on a couple of occassions where she didn't know she had to go beforehand, and had shampoo in her hair etc. I AM FREAKED OUT!!!!!!!! The only similar sensation was when, at the age of 8, my uncle told me everything...EVERYTHING about sex. It was also like being exposed to a whole, gross world that surrounds you but you never saw before. Except, unlike that revalation, I don;t envision my opinion on this changing with age. It literally never even occured to me before.
Holding it until the shower is finished is uncomfortable, and really, drying off when you're just going to get wet again thirty seconds later is really stupid. Someone confirm the STD via poolwater thing though. I'm scared.
This really needs repeating: come on now. Do you guys wear medical gloves when handling yourselves as well?
The warm/hot water relaxes the muscles, so therefore, you feel the urge to urine more while taking a shower. Also, the muscle that releases the urine is an involuntary muscle...not that it matters in the conversation. What amazes me are these people are in shock that we piss on our feet in the shower that WASHES off, but yet crap they put inside their bodies (food, smoking, oral sex, ect ... ) is considered worse?
Nasty, nasty, nasty --- morning pees in the same shower dancing around your feet that is so sick!!! No way not in a million years.
I have a routine in which I urinate, then shower. How hard is that? I thought everybody did that. It's the logical order of doing things. You wake up and you have an immediate need to piss. You also have a need to bathe yourself. I would have thought that people with even a reasonable amount of intelligence would take a piss first, then shower, but I guess some people don't put pissing in front of bathing in their priority list. I once b****ed out one of my college roomates to the point of making her cry after I found out she would piss in the shower that we both used.
I'm guessing that many people would be more grossed out about sex with a p*rn star than they would be about peeing down their shower drain. Personally, I'm only experienced in one of those activities, but I suspect I'd like the other one better. If I was single, I'd be trying to find a way up to Toronto to meet your roomie. Loosen up man. Live a little--have some fun.
