This is all getting dangerously close to water sports here, folks… ---

I only pee in the shower if the sink’s filled with shit. ---

I always pee in the toilet before I take a shower so I have never had to. Not for Ick purposes just habit. ---

Another female shower pisser here, I see nothing wrong with it, and anybody taking a shower with me had better know me well enough not to freak out over a bit of urine, sheesh… :rolleyes: ---

I do. In grade 10 I wrote an essay about the benefits of peeing in the shower. Even today, when I meet new people I ask them this question. ---

I pee in the shower as part of my morning routine. It never occured to me to do until I read about it on the straight dope. It makes so much more sense- why waste water flushing the toilet when you can just do everything at once? ---

I go before I get in, but sometimes going beforehand isn’t enough and I find myself needing to go again. So yeah, occasionally I do. It’s not a regular thing, though. And ONLY if I’m alone! NOTE: If you want to be able to pee in the shower without your shower-mate knowing, stay away from asparagus. If you can’t, don’t try to deny you’re peeing when your shower-mate catches you in the act. Asparagus = dead giveaway. ---

All the time. It’s got a drain, and you’re washing sweat, dead hair and dirt down there anyway. I don’t see the problem. ---

Sure. No reason not to which was already addressed. 😃 ---

Heh, one of the Google ads is for “Free Roommate Search”. 😛 I do, just about every morning. As others mentioned, why waste the flush? I also do it when the wife is in the shower with me, but she hasn’t caught me yet. That’s what she gets for making me wash and condition her hair. 🆒 Our shower stall if a shower only stall, no tub. If it was used as a bath tub I don’t think I’d do it. When by back was out and the sciatica was at its peak I occasionally peed in the sink. I wasn’t able to bend forward over the toilet to minimize the splash, or sit down comfortably, so the sink was the next best option. ---

I do. Frequently. I love the freedom of it, no aiming and just letting it out. I recommend it. ---

I do, and my wife does, and we do when we shower together. Oddly, she’d be mad if I peed on her feet, even though she has her own pee running down her legs. Can’t quite figure that one out. Yes, I’ve been tempted to pull a fubbleskag and pee on her when she’s not looking, but it’s just not worth the risk.
