Peeing in the shower is definitely one of those things people don't talk about openly, but that doesn't mean it's uncommon. In a recent survey by Showers to You , a UK-based bath and shower company, 76% percent of people admitted to peeing in the shower. So it's pretty normal to pee in the shower which leads to a few more questions.

The short answer to these questions: It's fine to pee in the shower. That's according to Jamin Brahmbhatt , MD, PUR Clinic urologist and Assistant Professor at UCF College of Medicine in Florida, who knows more about urine than most people.

Is it Bad to Pee in a Public Shower?

If you do decide to pee in the shower, it's best to do it in your own shower and not a public one. "Generally speaking, urine is sterile since it has no 'living' organisms," Dr. Brahmbhatt tells Health . "But this isn't always the case, since someone could have a urinary tract infection. Also, the urine could pick up some bugs from the end of the urethra as it exits." So peeing in your own shower and not a public one keeps you from being exposed to those bugs.

Since we're already talking about pee, let's get down to the nitty-gritty. What exactly is in urine? "Depending on how much fluids you take in, about 90% of your urine is water," says Dr. Brahmbhatt. "The rest are salts and compounds that are filtered out of your body." This extra stuff in your urine can vary, but it's based on what you drank or ate, as well as medications you have taken and substances you have used, he adds.

The fact that urine is mostly water with some added salts means it's highly unlikely to damage your shower tray or drain if that's a concern. "If you think about it, urine is probably 'cleaner' than what you wash off your skin during a shower in the morning or after a gym workout," says Dr. Brahmbhatt. "It's probably no different than the water coming from the faucet when it comes to its effect on your physical surroundings."

If you're still grossed out by the thought of accidentally peeing on your feet, well, at least you're in the right place for a rapid wash. And if you have a cut or other wound on your foot? "It's probably not a big deal," says Dr. Brahmbhatt. "There are people that pitch using urine as an antiseptic; i.e. when you have an open wound, you can pee on it to help avoid infection. But the science behind this theory isn't particularly strong."

Bottom line: Peeing in the shower is unlikely to do you any harm. So whether it's part of your water-saving efforts (no need to flush) or you just can't stop the flow sometimes, don't beat yourself up about using your shower as a toilet.

You might want to avoid this one habit while you're cleaning yourself off.
There is no one-size-fits-all requirement when it comes to a shower routine. Some rinse off first thing in the morning. Others prefer to do it at night. And according to certain debates on the internet, there's even an argument over which body parts should actually get washed and how often we should be bathing at all. But according to a doctor, there's at least one habit you might want to avoid whenever it comes time to jump in the shower. Read on to see what you shouldn't be doing while getting yourself clean.
You may only be steps from the toilet, but it's no secret—and yet another matter of heated hygiene debate —that some people feel free to urinate while rinsing themselves off. And while there may be those who argue it's a cleanliness issue, one doctor warns that you shouldn't pee in the shower because of the potential effects it could have on your body. ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb
In a video that has since gone viral on TikTok, Alicia Jeffrey-Thomas , MD, a certified pelvic floor physical therapist with a doctorate in physical therapy, cautions that you may be accidentally conditioning yourself to urinate on command to the sound of the nozzle spraying. "If you pee in the shower, or turn on the faucet or turn on the shower and then sit on the toilet to pee while the shower is running, you're creating an association in the brain between the sound of running water and having to pee," she said.
At first blush, it may seem like a stretch to connect bladder control issues with peeing in the shower . But in a later interview with Buzzfeed, Jeffrey-Thomas clarified her comments and described the psychological response known as a Pavlovian effect.
"Your bladder relies on signals it gets both from the stretch of the bladder walls as it fills, as well as signals from the brain which let it know when to contract to urinate," she said. "We want to avoid training our bladder to associate certain signals with the urge to pee. In this case, peeing in the shower associates the sound of running water with urination or with submersion in water. This can often transition into being triggered by other sounds of running water (like when you're running the faucet to wash your hands or the dishes) or when you're in bodies of water."
The conditioned response may not be a problem for everyone, but she said others might feel the effects in one potentially embarrassing way. "For some, this may just be an annoyance, but for people with any kind of pelvic floor dysfunction, this could contribute to urge incontinence (or leaking urine when you have the urge to use the restroom)," she told Buzzfeed.
But it's not just the psychological conditioning that could be creating an issue. Depending on your body type, allowing yourself to urinate while standing in the running water could be going against your body's methods for holding it when you need to.
"From a pelvic floor perspective, the position for peeing in the shower is not conducive to pelvic floor relaxation," Jeffrey-Thomas told Buzzfeed. "AMAB (assigned male at birth) bodies have the prostate to support the bladder, which makes standing to urinate okay, but AFAB (assigned female at birth) bodies—as well as people who have had affirmation surgeries—do not have the same level of support for the bladder. To maintain continence (i.e., not peeing your pants at inappropriate times), the pelvic floor generally wants to remain contracted in a standing or hovering position, so to urinate in those positions, one has to bypass these normal continence mechanisms, which can be problematic down the line."
However, there is one way to overcome this issue if you ever find yourself desperate to pee while bathing. "Deep squatting all the way to the ground in the shower avoids this and allows the pelvic floor to relax." But, she added, "then you're still doing the water/peeing association."

Ultimately, Jeffrey-Thomas admits that her recommendation might come off as a bit extreme. But she argues that paying attention to this one minor bathing detail now could significantly affect how your body works down the line.
"Shower peeing may seem like a silly thing to focus on, but there are many small habits that contribute to our overall bladder function and pelvic floor function," she told Buzzfeed. "This is all about preventing problems later in life. Ask anyone who pees their pants: If they knew how to prevent the embarrassment and frustration associated with it, they would go back and do it in a heartbeat."

Golden Showers 101: Everything You Wanted to Know About Pee Play
From power dynamics to wet sex and eating pineapples, a beginners guide to urophilia.
ORIGINAL REPORTING ON EVERYTHING THAT MATTERS IN YOUR INBOX.
This article first appeared on VICE Canada
Golden showers, water sports, or piss play, whatever you call it, urophilia has recently had a resurgence in mainstream interest, following some unsavoury and as yet unproven leaks about a pre-White House Donald Trump. As a kink or fetish, getting sexually excited by urine or the thought of urine is still taboo, even in a world where suburban housewives read 50 Shades of Grey on the subway. A 2010 survey by San Francisco University's Jennifer Eve Rehor found that of over 1700 women surveyed only 36.5 percent said they'd peed on or been peed on by a lover, whereas over 90% percent reported being spanked. So why are most people still so uncomfortable with urine play? Luna Matatas recently taught a class at Toronto sex shop Good For Her called, 'Intro to Urine Play' and I spoke with her just before the seminar to get a urophilia guide for beginners.
VICE: Why pee?
Some people like the sensation of it, the warmth or the wetness. Some people like the taste, they like the idea of ingesting something that's considered really taboo. Some people really enjoy it as a form of power play, they either want to give to a person that's submitting to them or the person submitting to them wants to take it from their dominant as a sign of surrender of the ultimate sign of submission, taking someone inside of you and taking their waste or their fluids inside of you. I really enjoy it as a sign of worship and ritual, so my submissive would drink me as a sign of taking goddess' golden nectar.
Why is urine play still taboo?
I think it's because we have such a heavy focus on sanitation and hygiene as a society. We have an emphasis on cleanliness particularly around things that come out of your body and we're constantly bombarded with messages that pee is dirty, pee should be contained, pee should be private. So a lot of people want to explore the taboo of it to be naughty and go against it. The sanitation piece is still very mainstream and so to even bring it up with your partner you're really worried that they're gonna think you're filthy or something is deviant about you or that something's wrong with you because you want to pervert something that everybody else accepts as wrong.
Let's say you're brand new to pee—what do you need to know?
I would figure out what it is about pee that turns you on. Because if it is about sensation then that opens up a range of play for you. Some people are even turned on by the act of being denied the ability to urinate so they get a tense feeling, a feeling of fear, of being out of the their body. Some people are really turned on by wearing it so they like the smell of urine, the wetness of it. So I'd start by exploring the fantasy of it, what do you masturbate to when you think about pee, is it a dominant person, is it just kind of pissing on each other, is it a sensual thing? Once you're able to figure out those flavours for you or your kink, then you're able to look for someone who's like-minded.
OK, what should you drink or not drink?
Lots of water, things that are diuretics so like dandelion tea, beer, coffee, things like that, that will push your pee through. If you're into [it] because of the taste, some people may want an enhanced taste, so morning pee, asparagus, it depends on what they're actually looking for. If you want to change the colour of your pee, beets or for sweeter pee, pineapple juice. But mostly water, keep hydrating.
Does that ever take you out of "the mood," cause you're just constantly drinking water?
I make it part of the foreplay or the scene.
What about the mess? How can you relax when you're like, "oh no my sheets"?
If you're not doing a large amount of pee play, you can put down a towel. If you're doing a large amount, let's say you're peeing on someone in a place that's not a tub or a shower, you can pee into a vessel first like a bowl or I pee into a chalice because we're ritualizing pee. Definitely there's incontinent pads or puppy pads you can use, they're disposable and you can just throw them out.
What about Trump? Do you think he's given pee play a bad name?
I think his incident brought up a fork for pee play. It was an opportunity for sex educators who did an excellent job of putting out information that was de-shaming and so if we're talking about this let's talk about it in a way where people can move their barriers so they can have the kind of pleasure they want. And then for other people it brought up more shame because people were saying it's disgusting and because it was Trump it brought up how you felt about him. So it brought it into the mainstream but it also brought up a lot of kink-shaming.
Who do you think is the first person to ever pee on another person and then immediately have sex after?
I don't know, I hope it was like a rock star or something.
Right, yeah I was going to say someone biblical.
Oh yeah, maybe Judas?
Sure or Mary Magdalene?
You're right, that makes sense.
