What's wrong with it?

This is in the spirit of the Too much information thread, but what is wrong with urinating in the shower? I am not talking about with someone else (or just plain golden), but in the morning, I find it easier to urinate whilst showering. I know of a few other people who do as well, but other people are virulently opposed but won’t tell me why they find it so disgusting.

Fine, it could be slightly unhygenic, but that is why I am having a shower, I clean up afterwards. And the urine doesn’t stay on the floor, it gets washed off with all the rest of the shower water (unless you wish to keep it there for some reason). Also, it is a conservation issue - I use less water than having to flush the toilet.

So are there any viable complaints?

I am a little bit prudish myself (always put the lid down on the toilet after reading an article in New Scientist (can’t remember when sorry) which stated that when flushing the toilet, the water (and associated particles) could be found two meters away. Ahh, not all over the sink!!! :slight_smile:

I just don’t want to stand in my own urine. Even if for but a moment.

I will always get out of the shower to pee.

It kills athlete’s foot. And its sterile. And its much easier. And it doesn’t waste more water. And its just so damned relaxing…

Everything old is new again! This was the subject of a protracted thread on the AOL SDMB!

I wish I could pee in the shower, I just can’t. I don’t get it, because I can pee outside fine, just something about the shower immobilizes me. . .

I’m not one who is particularly conscious of hygeine, I gotta admit. I’m a scruffy thing, and my bedroom is a pigsty.

Peeing in the shower is a totally unavoidable prospect. Once you get under there, the heat and the wet just screams at you to let it go. So I do. Aaaahhhhh. Very relaxing… :slight_smile:

I do it all the time. It makes me feel so naughty,

Yep, I’m a rebel.

Well what else am I supposed to do while standing in the corner of the shower waiting for the water to get hot?

Well as a guy who has spent most of my life having other guys for roomates, there is no guarantee that the drain will be working at any given moment, so the though of pissing in the shower always bring images of the possibility of standing in my of piss for an extended length of time.
