Peeing in shower is nothing compared to people peeing in the wash basin or bidet. In europe old hotels don’t have a bathroom in the room. They often have a wash basin and a bidet.
Ok, not sure what the big deal is. Before I shower in my own shower I got to the restroom if I have to. If I’m already showering and need to pee, I do it. It gets washed down the drain with the shower water, shampoo, soap, everything else.
I swear I think I remember a Sesame Street clip about this years ago. It was a dad and his son and they were suggesting to pee in the shower to save water. Maybe it was some kind of hallucination.
I don’t pee in the shower. At the risk of making this thread worse than it is, though, I have to ask:
Um . . . how do I ask this . . . what, exactly, does one need a bidet for if there’s no toilet? :-S
I would never do this, of course, but I have a friend who does it.
Totally normal. I would feel guilty doing it at the gym, though.
Brazilian ad campaign promoting peeing in the shower for conservation/environmental reasons. A whole series but here’s two.

I guess it is no worse than peeing on yourself if you get stung by a jellyfish.
" like Kramer washing vegetables in the shower (something else I have never done and plan never to do)."
And something I will definitely not do now that I know how many people pee in the shower.
FYI, peeing on a jellyfish sting doesn’t really work. The best treatment is a paste of vinegar and baking soda or vinegar alone.

“Move over honey, I gotta take a leak.” - Gus (Rob Schneider) stepping into the shower with his wife in the movie The Benchwarmers.
My shower, no witnesses, yes, any other shower, no. Having pets in the house is way more unsanitary. What hits my shower floor from the bottom of my feet is more concerning.
When I was living in VA Beach, a kid, about 5, asked the lifeguard where the bathrooms are. The lifeguard told him to just go in the water. So he walks out ankle deep, drops the bathing suit and pees right there.
@poblob14 In a word - sex.
I micturate in the shower daily. It saves water, I don’t need to worry about pee marks on my pants, and you get that wonderfully freeing feeling of weeing totally naked.
I wish more women would urinate in the shower at my gym. Then I wouldn’t get the scalding when they flush.
Since there is a strong shower flow and very good drainage in the shower stalls I don’t have a problem with them peeing. It’s the long hair that is left behind that grosses me out.
Another dad’s joke about peeing…
A hiker went off the trail into some bushes to pee. Saw a bear in the bushes and decided to poop as well.
As long as we’re telling dad’s jokes about peeing, my late FIL was especially fond of telling this one - which delighted all his grandkids. He tells about Dad coming home to find out his wife telling him that junior, age 5, has something to tell him. Junior says “I wet the bed during nap time”, and Dad says “Well, I guess a lot of kids wet the bed” To which, junior continues “from the top of the dresser!”
When our DS2 was little we had a trampoline. I looked out several times to see he and his friends peeing from the edge of the trampoline to see if they could hit the pool. Fortunately it was too far.
I’ve never had penis envy except for the peeing part. You guys get to have all the fun (hence the stories here) , shorter lines, and better camping trips.
I’m still traumatized that this is a thing.
Where I live, the more common question is whether someone would exit their wetsuit while surfing to pee - the answer, apparently, is usually “no” - and the related (seriously gross) concept of “surf trout.”
It’s not that I “care”–fine, if that’s you’re thing. But I don’t get it–there’s a perfectly good receptacle for the same purpose two feet away. Don’t you pee before showering? Or can’t you wait five minutes?
And don’t tell me about it’s for saving water. I’m not saying you have to flush when you use the toilet–we def have a if-its-yellow mentality in our house, or if too much toilet paper has built up and if we don’t flush it soon, the pipes will clog, as they do.
But seriously, what’s the rush?
I sort of picture this, for women, running down one’s legs–shower or not, and I dunno, ew? Just seems weird to me.
