I don’t know about you but when I gotta go, it seems like such a waste of time to get out of the shower to take a leak. I figure the water is going down the drain to the same place the toilet goes to so what’s the difference.

Now, I can understand if the ladies wouldn’t necessarily enjoy having pee running down their legs but at least a guy can aim for the drain.

One caveat – if I’m taking a shower somewhere where the drain is slow and water backs up, I’ll wait. I don’t want to stand in the stuff. But other than that, I figure why wait.

What about you – wait or let loose?

I do it only because Madonna once told Dave Letterman on the Tonight show with Dave that peeing in the shower is good because it takes away the chance of getting athlete’s foot. This was the same show in which she gave Dave some of her undies.

Screw the “real” post. Girls do it. My ex did. I loved taking showers with her, but i had to make sure I did not lay down and watch the shower show for too long.

Now some guys get into that, but I have different fetishes. Watching a girl take a shower-turn on. Getting peed on-ain’t gonna happen, unless she promises to bring a couple of other really hot friends in the very near future.

I pee in the shower all the time. Something about the sound of the water triggers it. If I have the urge to take a dump, which seems to happen while in the shower, I get to the toilet.

Course I do! I even started a thread about it! So why do you ask? Do you have to make sure you’re not alone on this one? Or is it just a summer boredom kinda thing?
