Put a bunch of 18-year-old boys together, and you may get an overload of testosterone. A prank that has been battering about college dorms for years now takes this too literally and pokes fun at the prodigious amount of semen college freshman inevitably produce—specifically, in the shower, when, uh, you know. The prank is to post an official-looking notice in a communal bathroom decrying the fact that the abundance of in-shower masturbation has created a buildup of semen so drastic it is clogging the drains.
University Masturbation Notice. pic.twitter.com/Wbj20uxm39
Photos of the notices have been circulating on the internet for years now, with variations of the same note embossed with letterhead from prestigious colleges and universities all over the world: Georgetown University, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Michigan, the University of St. Andrews , etc. Just last week, another image of one such notice posted at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill made its rounds again.
UNC housing sent a fake anti-masturbation flyer in Eringhaus down the drain: https://t.co/cJUVRd0RTr pic.twitter.com/tHfhRPFOB0
This particular notice, from Ehringhaus Residence Hall, asserts that masturbation in the showers is in violation of the Carolina Housing Code and that the drains “are not built to withstand semen.”
“Every year UNC spends thousands in maintenance because of the excessive amount of semen stuck in the pipes,” the notice reads. As extreme as that sounds, this one actually doesn’t even go as far as some other letters—UPenn’s warned that if the situation was not remedied, the staff would resort to DNA testing to find the culprit.
The notices themselves, of course, are fake—likely the result of upperclassmen hoping to make anxious freshmen even more sexually uncomfortable than they are.
“These signs were not authorized nor endorsed by Carolina Housing,” an email sent to on-campus residents read . “Please disregard the notice.”
But we couldn’t help but wonder … did this classic September trick have real-life origins? Is this actually something that colleges worry about each fall, or something abundant shower masturbators have experienced in their own lives? Could excessive semen actually clog a drain?
To answer these incredibly important questions, we first tried the people we were convinced would know—the maintenance staffs at colleges across the country. They’re the ones with front-row seats to a presumable semen onslaught. It turned out that they had better things to do than talk to us (fair). Of the more than 20 maintenance heads, college PR staff, and facilities teams we reached out to, none of them returned our calls. In fact, one university media relations official responded that he did not feel it would be “appropriate to pull someone away from his or her job for this.”
Next, we turned to the scientific literature. As it turns out, there appears to be very little research published on the direct effects of semen in shower drains (free thesis idea).
Other internet theories have noted that semen does feel stickier when it gets wet, though the reason for that has been elusive. A NSFW Claymation video about this phenomenon suggests that water might actually react with semen in some way to make it stickier, but it doesn’t propose a compelling reason of exactly why this would happen.
It’s also possible that semen simply feels like it’s stickier in the shower because it’s being compared with water. Either way, you can see why a freshman guy who perhaps has masturbated while bathing might notice stickier semen and worry about the dorm-bathroom warnings. But can semen, sticky or otherwise, clog a drain?
Abraham Morgentaler, an associate professor of urology at Harvard Medical School and the director of Men’s Health Boston, debunked the rumor for us once and for all. In an email to Slate , Morgentaler says that not only is semen never thick enough to clog a drain, but that 20 to 30 minutes after ejaculation, it will become a runny liquid and slide away:
When a man ejaculates, the fluid first comes out like a gel, with a certain amount of consistency that likely helps with fertility by allowing it to stay longer within the vagina than if it were a runny liquid.
For this reason, a semen analysis is never performed immediately on a fresh specimen. The lab technicians need to wait until it becomes a liquid, which takes 20-30 minutes.
As a rule, semen just isn’t thick enough to clog a drain. And after a short time it will become runny like water anyway.
Carrol Platz, an assistant professor in cell biology at Baylor College of Medicine and the founder of the International Canine Semen Banks, agrees: “In humans, normally the semen remains liquid and would not clog drains.” Other mammals, apparently, have rubbery semen, but if you’ve got chimpanzees masturbating in your showers, you probably have problems beyond drainage.
So shower masturbators, it looks like you’re in the clear.

Something went wrong. Wait a moment and try again.
First, this is not a big deal. pour some draino down the drain, and it will go away. For any stuck anywhere else, no problem. Hot water should take care of it, maybe spray some scrubbing bubbles on there too, since you’re cleaning up the shower anyway, you might as well do the whole thing.
Second, there is nothing wrong with you, and you did nothing wrong. If your parents get mad at you for a perfectly natural and healthy activity, then they are wrong. You can do what you want when you go to college. Until then, just be sneaky.

Lastly, in all likelihood, no one will have any idea. Cleaning the shower probably looks weirder than just leaving it. So calm down.
Best of luck in your oppressive home until you go to school. I hope that you don’t put your children through things like this. Take this unnecessary fear and remember it. Then teach your kids to have a more open and healthy relationship to sex.
Use a paper towel or piece of toiletpaper to remove the hair first. Put that in the trash bin.
Cook some water and pour it down the drain.
The hot water will clean it completely, but you can put a tablespoon of salt or baking-soda in the drain BEFORE pouring the cooked water, that will clean more deeply/thoroughly.

....I don't think semen can clog a drain..
You've never been a teenage boy have you...
My friend who lives in a student housing facility got a letter, along with everyone else on the floor about how it was causuing problems. Not sure if it was a joke or not but the letter looked rather legit.
Probably real. When I was 19 my university posted notices in our dorm restrooms asking us to please not wank in the showers. Instead they suggested using toilet paper and throwing it in the trash.
They posted similar notices about wafflestomping and suggested that anyone feeling an urge to shit in the shower should seek counseling at student health services.
Unless it's still in a condom, I don't think it's possible.

Can pubic hair go down the shower drain? The part outside your body, including where the hair grows, is your vulva. If your pubic hair is enough to clog the drain, then your drain is already totally clogged and needs to be cleaned out. Nobody has enough pubic hair to clog a drain. If you can’t figure out how to do it, call a plumber and get a lesson.
Unfortunately for many plumbing systems, hair is the perfect material to make a clog more serious. It’s not water soluble and even strong drain cleaning chemicals don’t dissolve it well (which is just one of the many reasons you shouldn’t use these chemicals).
While there is no way to prevent all hair from going down the drain, you should make sure to allow as little as possible to be flushed or washed down. Hair and dental floss both have a tendency to stick to the sides of drains causing build-up and clogs over time.
Take a shower or bath
Following this step may seem tedious, but a hot shower is the perfect environment for softening pubic hair before a shave. If you don’t have time to shower, wet a washcloth with warm water. Place it over your pubic area, and leave it in place for a few minutes.

How do you wash pubic hair in the shower? Take a shower or bath
Following this step may seem tedious, but a hot shower is the perfect environment for softening pubic hair before a shave. If you don’t have time to shower, wet a washcloth with warm water. Place it over your pubic area, and leave it in place for a few minutes.
First of all, shaving in the shower is eventually going to clog your drain. It’s inevitable, and that’s a pain you want to avoid. The risk of slipping combined with poor visibility almost always results in an inferior shave, even if your skin is better off. Also, a lot of guys use regular shaving gel in the shower.
Combining baking soda and vinegar is a natural way to dissolve hair clogs, without resorting to harsh chemicals. Pour a cup of baking soda down the clogged drain first, and then after a few minutes add a cup of vinegar.
You may have to hold your leg up or prop it on the side of the tub to shave in the bath, so shave in slow, steady strokes to avoid nicks and cuts if you accidently slip or move. Once finished, carefully step out of the tub, pat the skin dry and apply moisturizer.
Whether it’s long or short hair, it is responsible for most blocked drains. A clogged bathtub drain can be caused by short hair just as much as it could be caused by long hair, therefore it is a common misconception that women are responsible for hair clogs. This is because of how blocked drains are formed.
Laser hair removal and electrolysis are both considered “permanent” methods to denude pubes: both eliminate hair follicles so hair doesn’t grow back.
If you want to avoid the stubbly look you can get from shaving, you can use depilatories or wax. A depilatory is a cream or liquid that removes hair from the skin’s surface. Depilatories work quickly, are available at drugstores and grocery stores, and are painless.
As mentioned above, pubic hair serves a protective function by trapping pathogens that could otherwise enter your body. Removing pubic hair may therefore make a person more susceptible to common infections, such as UTIs, vaginitis, and yeast infections.
Hair also traps bacteria against your skin. In the vaginal area, that is both a good thing and a bad thing. You need your good vaginal bacteria to prevent an overgrowth of yeast, but when bacteria mix with the sweat and oil on your pubic hair, it can produce a smell.
In general, we recommend shaving every two to three days if you want a clean shave; three to five days if you want to simply style or trim; and if you want to just let your hair grow, then simply stop shaving. How quickly hair grows also depends on the area of the body.
Coke or Pepsi are great for vanquishing a clog! Coke and Pepsi are loaded with phosphoric acid, which breaks down buildup that can clog your drains! Phosphoric acid can even remove lime scale and other tough buildup that regular cleaners struggle with. This is an effective and refreshing home remedy if we ever saw one!
The blockage could be caused by a build-up of hair, grease and soap. Other possible causes are a build-up of dirt or minerals from your water or tree roots growing through tiny cracks in your underground pipes. To access your drain, you may need to remove the drain cover.
Mix together 1 cup of vinegar (distilled white vinegar works best) and 1 cup of baking soda. First, pour boiling water down the drain to loosen; then follow with the baking soda-vinegar mixture and wait 15 minutes. Rinse with more boiling water.
Both shaving cream and shaving soap can clog your drain. Just as you want to avoid letting hair go down the drain, avoid rinsing any lather down the drain. When using shaving soap or cream, using a dedicated bowl of hot water to rinse your razor will prevent both hair and lather from clogging the drain.
“Although a warm bath does soften the hair and make your shave feel more comfortable, the water also makes skin swell,” she explained. Shaving in the shower is a much more efficient way to get a close shave.
Choosing between the sink or shower for your shaving routine will largely be down to preference and the availability of a decent mirror. We do, however, recommend warm shower before shaving at the sink as it’ll help to soften the skin and hair before shaving.
But can semen, sticky or otherwise, clog a drain? Nope, it cannot. As a rule, semen just isn’t thick enough to clog a drain. And after a short time it will become runny like water anyway.
The hair also travels further down the pipes and then can cause clogs in larger drain lines. If it travels far enough, it may reach patches of grease that started in your kitchen sink. Grease and hair make for some really tough clogs. On occasion, hair contributes to issues with your main sewer line.
Generally, it is safe to remove pubic hair by using mechanical epilator devices. Tweezer-based epilators are less painful and as effective as needle-based epilators. Some epilators may be used with or without water to remove pubic hair. A wet epilator is goo
