So do you? How do you feel about other people peeing in the shower? If you do pee in the shower, how often do you pee in the shower. Are you male or female? Do you aim towards the drain or anywhere in specific? If you are female, do you feel more achieved peeing in the shower rather than peeing on a toilet because you can stand? Do you share the shower with anyone else? Are they aware that you pee in the shower? I will answer these questions if you feel the need to know. ---

Ummm… a young person, interested in entering the field of medicine called Urology? Gee…I sure _hope_ you’re just a medical student. Because this _is not_ an alt. sex forum. ---

Yeah I do. I try to aim for the drain when I do it. I share the shower with someone, as far as I know they don’t know I pee in there. They probably pee too. ---

> [@Aesiron](#): > > Erm. Please wait until after our nightcap to take a bath, please. Actually, I haven’t voluntarily taken a bath since I was a little kid. Showers are where it’s at for me, though I did have to take a bath when I stayed at the house of friends who had no shower. The bath was so relaxing I dozed off and they had to bang on the door to wake me up. ---

Yes, I pee in the shower, sometimes. I also like to blow my morning boogers/ snot out of my nose while in the shower. Don’t worry, I make sure they go down the drain! ---

If I have to pee when I’m showering, I do. I usually try to spray the water directly onto my penis afterward to make sure there’s no residual urine there. I share that shower with everyone in my family (not at the same time!). I’m male. ---

I usually pee before getting in the shower, but I hold it until showering when I’m at the gym, just for the above-mentioned athlete’s foot prevention. ---

I pee in the shower every day. It’s a nice release to just let go and not worry about where it goes. It’s the first thing I do, so I’m washing up afterward anyway. Lessee… female everyday just let it go where its whims take it I share the shower with my boyfriend. If we’re in there together, I don’t pee. He knows. He also pees.
