Lsura, that is one of the coolest things I’ve seen on the web. I wish I were a woman just so I could try it. I’ll have a lot of respect for any woman I meet who regularly pees standing up (and I’m not trying to be kinky here, I just think it’s cool). ---

You mean there are people who don’t pee in the shower? I understand the whole idea that the toilet is next to the shower, but even if I go before I get into the shower, I have to go once I’m in there. ---

But then, I’ve never really tried. And yes. I pee in the shower. Heck, everything will be washed afterward, and the shower washes it down. \*\* Hey, ladies.

I’ve seen the pee standing up web site. My roommate has practiced for about a year now. She’s still not gotten any closer to being non-messy about it. When she’s able to do it, maybe I’ll give it a try. I’m not interested in the funnel apparatus, either. Besides, after having peed in the shower pretty much my whole life, I’ve gotten pretty good at aiming for the drain. This is what, my 7th post? and I’m letting you all in on my excretory habits. Guess you all just bring out the best in me. pees in the toilet most of the time, mle ---

no, no. to find the really strange people you shouldn’t look for the people who don’t pee in the shower, for that you need to find those wierdos that don’t sh\*t in the shower. what? ---

Of course. Doesn’t everyone? If you don’t, you should because… 1. Come on, you’re already in the shower so if you somehow manage to pee on yourself, you can just rinse it off. 2. Saves water. Flushing a toilet wastes a lot of water, and why do that when you can do it without wasting ANY water? This is because when you first turn the water on you have to wait for it to warm up, and that’s when you should pee. (or whenever during the shower is fine too.) 3. I don’t wanna be the only lazy bastard that pees in the shower. ---

Yes, at least, I did until my boyfriend asked me to stop. Grosses him out. Me, I never really gave it a second thought. ---

I _always_ pee in the shower. It can cause problems at work, because at lunchtime, I need someone to spray me with a hose just so I can piddle. It used to bother my brother, when we roomed together in college. I always cleaned up after myself! ---

Yes I pee in the shower. In the showers at school, we have had a few pissing contests. Never bothered me at all. ---

Yep, me too. It’s just that nice warm warm water…aaahhh. And of course i do it before I soap up everything, 'cause the soap, shampoo, etc will WASH it all down the drain. I mean, that’s a logical deduction. So phooey to all of you non-peeers-in-the-shower! You’re missing out on a pleasurable experience… Lorie ---

Well, [soap is always dirty](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_398.html). And add me to the “peein’ in the shower” group. Oh, one more totally unrelated tangent, based on seeing **Shampoop** ’s username: When I was really, really young, I used to think “poo” and “poop” were bad words. The logical consequence? When I would bathe, I would refer to the hair-washing detergent as “sham-big-potty.” This excruciatingly cute child moment brought to you by me.
