There is a popular slogan:
Save Water… Shower With a Friend
does this change anyone’s answer?
You’re a guy, right? How is pointing your penis and peeing at a target (your bath drain) that different from pointing your penis and peeing at a target (your toilet or even a urinal)? Is your drain so slow that diluated pee pools around your feet?
I go out of the way to not pee in the toilet. Granted I live in a part of Alaska that has many trees and outhouses. Many women I know regularly pee outside. It is my style of conservation, not flushing a couple gallons of water down the drain for less than a pint of urine. Showers sinks outside, off decks, whatever.
Umm… yeah, sometimes. And when I lived in a flophouse motel with shared bathroom, always. I only went to the actual bathroom for a deuce.
Don’t tell my wife about the sink. She knows about the shower, but we’d have to have a serious discussion if she knew about the sink.

If I don’t see your cock, and you wash it down the drain so I don’t have to see and smell it, what-fucking-ever. Seriously. With the sink, I’d have misgivings about whether you were careful not to splash the clean dishes. That’s why I piss in a dirty cup and dump it down the drain instead of pissing directly into the sink. Then rinse out the sink and cup, of course.

I hastily voted yes, but I meant peeing while showering and now I realize this is not what the OP meant.
No, I don’t pee in the shower, unless I am showering. But I do regularly pee in the bathroom sink. My aim is very poor and I make a huge mess on the toilet bowl. The sink is on the right height, then when I’m finished I turn on the water and everything is clean.
I’ll raise that to pissing off a balcony. The higher the better.
I totally did that, too, in my asshole-who-hates-the-world phase. I lived on a busy part of Valencia St. in San Fran, and once or twice, probably in a drunken haze, pissed out of my fourth floor window. Dunno if I hit anyone. Also squirted mustard and ketchup on to a Ferrari that was parked under the window. I was an asshole, yes, I freely admit it, but I still sort-of think, “What an arrogant prick! There are homeless people steps away! You park your fucking FERRARI right there? You’re lucky it’s not shit on your hood!”
Joe
well usually if i’m drunk, because its a bigger target and i dont risk missing… looks around what? but never the sink. its too high up.
And yes… that was definitely a gratuitous reference. i like some books too but don’t work them into every conversation i have… if we ignore it will it go away?
When swimming, do you pee in the ocean?
You may well be killing the whales!
I’m going to wildly guess that 0% of the “no” answers are from men.
No, some are from men, though with such a childish aversion to pee I’m hesitant to use the word “man”. Grow up and piss on.
In my defense, I did up-frontly say that my guess was wild!
Sure, I pee in my shower at home.
The RA of my dorm when I went to school found it necessary to remind people during orientation that no, it is not ok to pee in the community shower.
It’s one of the posted Please Don’t rules at my healthclub, but that’s different- it’s communal and not all the individual stalls have their own drain, and end up draining into the common one in the center of the floor.
At home though, hell yes. If I’m in the shower and have to pee, I pee. I can hold it and be uncomfortable or let go and watch it all run down the drain harmlessly. (“watch” being not in the literal sense… ) If, as someone upstairs here suggested, I were to step out of the shower to stand in front of the toilet, with wet feet, I wonder how long before my body would be discovered by a neighbor, who, so shocked upon seeing a naked, dead Bus Guy lying in a bloody lump next to a running shower with a pool of pee under him, mixing with the blood in a kind of a frothy coagulated mess, shrieks in shock, slips on the watery, bloody, pee-y puddle, bangs her head on the sink and collapses on top of me so that when the authorities finally make it by, they see two of us there, one partially dressed (it’s my fantasy, shut up) lying across each other in, as Shel Silverstein may have put it “the pee, the blood and the Head and Shoulders”, and put it down as some sort of bizarre fetish thing, thus making my block the Wisteria Lane of my little town.
No thanks, I’ll save my family all that drama and scandal and pee in the shower as god intended.
What was the rationale? That it might gross people out? That one of the other people’s urine might be infected?
And, by community shower, do you mean one where more than one person use it a a time? I don’t think I could use such a shower.
I think this is mostly just grossing people out. The physical arrangement of the shower is like what Bus Guy described in his health club above.
not if you’re trying to sterilize them.
Seriously, I’m male, and the thought of peeing in the shower never occured to me. What if someone has a urinary infection?
Even with a raging UTI, one is still washing off far more bacteria from one’s skin and from the fecal material around one’s peri-anal region.
Urine is much cleaner than what you’re sending down the drain already.
Pee in the shower? Sometimes I’ll hold it until I can get in the shower (it takes a few minutes for the hot water to reach upstairs). Like mentioned upthread - it is liberating and you don’t have to worry about dribblage when you’re done.
