It is unfortunate that everyone seems to be ignoring the sheer pleasure factor. While efficiency is a definite bonus to elimination in the shower, there are few things quite as pleasant as being blasted with hot water, feeling the dirt slough off you, and taking a first class racehorse leak.
Shit, I’d even hold it in until I got into the shower just to improve the experience.
There is no good reason to not pee in the shower. Those who say other wise have likely been brainwashed by the mentality that has resulted in the over-prescription of antibiotics and antibacterial everything. Plus, it’s fun and feels good.
Um… basketball players? It’s not a matter of being at waist height, it’s got to be below the level of your, ahem, piss stick. Otherwise there are angles and stuff, and you’re liable to just hose the whole bathroom. The shower though, that’s another story. Peeing in the shower is one of the great pleasures of mankind. You just do it, and it’s damn near impossible to miss. Likewise for brushing your teeth in the shower. You know you want to stand in the hot water longer, and then when you spit, it doesn’t matter if you dribble down your chin, because you just rinse it off. If I could live in the shower, I think that i would. Best part of my day…
And in regard to communal showers, we used to ask permission in the dorm before letting go when there were other guys in the room. Depending on who else was there, it was no big deal.
Ok, that’s all.
