Daily struggle session slop here.

Do you pee in the shower? Do you support this inalienable right open to all humanity? Or are you like my fascist partner who says it's not okay and "childish." As a communist, anyone who would be upset at peeing in the shower should be thrown in jail along with people who tailgate when I'm already going 5 over.

Just to throw a bone to the ladies and other people who suck dick (literally not metaphorically), you should also wipe your penis after you pee. Even if you think you got it all out you should still wipe. However, this is intersectionality. Obviously the biggest oppression is against shower-pee-pee people but pee-pee wipers can still unite with us as we apply dialectics to hygiene.

    As a germophobe I don't think piss is grosser than what you're already washing off of your body

    Of course peeing in the shower is cool and good, now, pooping in the shower, that is a more provocative conversation.

    When you pee in the shower do you aim for the drain or just let it fall where ever because you know the water will carry it there anyway?

    I don't think it's "childish", I think it's gross and unhygienic, especially as someone who has to clean the shower/bathtub.

      How is it unhygienic if it all gets washed down the drain?

        If it "all" got washed down the drain, it would be unnecessary to clean showers (or sinks or toilets, for that matter).

          I mean there are parts of toilets that don't get rinsed with water, as there are in showers but that's mostly the sides, walls, and hardware. Also we shit in toilets and that's a different ballgame lol. I guess my thought, too, is how much does it differ from the dirt, sweat, oils and grime that accumulates in the shower?

          I swear I'm not trying to turn it into an argument/struggle sesh I'm just curious lol

            Some of those cannot reasonably be avoided in a shower, whereas it's not necessary to urinate in the shower. Am I a weirdo for wanting to take very simple steps that reduce the amount of urine I come into contact with in my daily life? I don't pee in my kitchen sink just because it goes down the drain and I know the dishes are going to get washed anyway.

      Yup, the cleaning bit is pretty relevant here. I have raised kids who tend to piss in the shower and I can tell you that being the one who cleans the shower floor sink where all the hairs and gunk is stuck at least feels a lot less nasty if you implement a strick no pissing in the shower policy. I don't even care if its fully rinsed away or stays there, if I am the one who has to put their hands into that crap, don't make it worse by pissing in there.

      Everyone who cleans their own showers can do whatever they want.

      It also stinks. As a person with a pretty sensitive sense of smell I can absolutely tell when someone has taken a piss in the shower. Same goes for the toilet if that someone has had bad aim. It stinks when wet, but it stinks also when it dries.

      So in my household everyone takes a piss sitting down on the toilet regardless of personal plumbing as long as I am the one who cleans it all.

        It's not (entirely) about aim, the velocity of a urine stream from standing causes tiny droplets to spatter the bathroom.

        At least when you're sitting only the seat rim and thighs are spattered...

        In addition to this, here is my scientific breakdown of the amount of water used during pissing in the shower versus in the toilet.

        I have been engaged in water saving measures like a good little neoliberal subject and my current long hair basic shower uses about 50 litres of water, no pissing. But in the shower it is almost 1/3 or half warm water which consumes a lot of energy.

        One flush on the piss setting side of the toilet is in my understanding about 3l of water, all cold.

        So, if we assume pissing takes 20 seconds on average (yes I googled this: https://www.sharp.com/health-news/how-long-should-it-take-to-pee) and I read a shower uses on average 15l of water/minute then 20 seconds in the shower is 5 liters of water.

        Therefore, pissing in the shower does not save water unless you piss and wash at the same time. In which case you probably can't aim much.

        (Post not serious)

          You don't need to have the water running to urinate, it just shouldn't be done at the end of the shower.

          In which case you probably can’t aim much

          Aim at what?

    Pro shower peeing tip turn the water cold before during and after for a bit. Cold water means no steam means less piss smell fidel-cool

          The real tip is to get the water as hot as possible and pee up into the falling water to maximize the piss smell. God mode is when you bring hot sauna rocks into the shower and piss on them for even more piss smell goodness.

            I was in a sauna once when a guy peed on the rocks. It was pretty noxious. Would not recommend.

      Your urine isn't supposed to smell, I think. Or maybe it does if you heat it, but I don't think the urine leaving is going to be at a much lower temperature than the water.
