    Not usually. Unless I'm drunk..then I don't really care where I pee, especially if the seal has been broken.

    Yes. Didn't really have to go before too bad until warm water hit me. Didn't want to get the loot wet or slip by getting out and walking across tile floor wet.

    Pee is sterile

    Your pee is sterile only to you. Not to anyone else ....

    No, because it think it's disgusting, but I will say that I have maybe twice and that was because I realized after I got in the shower that I had to pee and didn't want to have to get out and get the floors wet and then get back in the shower. I cleaned the shower floor immediately after though.

    Whether you do or don't, there is one inflexible rule; DO NOT do that when showering with another person.

    Urine is only sterile until it leaves your body - common misconception.

    It is sterile after it leaves your body as well. It doesn't suddenly just become bacteria ridden immediately.

    Yes because it's better in the shower than in the pool.
  • If Pee is sterile then why can chlamydia and gonorrhea be seen under the microscope in a urine sample. It's sterile only if it is not contaminated with grossness. True Story.

    Can you get either of those through your feet?

    If you have open cuts or sores, I suppose it's possible.

    I pee in the shower, but my shower has a huge floor drain, so I just aim down the drain and don't pee all over the floor.

    Meh, either way the water will take it all down the drain.

    I thought you get STD's from ...sex? I haven't heard of anyone getting the clap from a shower stall or a pool but hey, what do I know

    Yes. Usually when the warm water hits I have to go. My husband does too. We use the automatic shower cleaner after every shower, so I guess I kind of justify it that way.

    Girls can't aim. Haha Pee is technically sterile until it reaches the skin...there it's exposed to bacteria on the skin...

    not quite

    good old wikipedia:
    Urine is sterile until it reaches the urethra, where epithelial cells lining the urethra are colonized by facultatively anaerobic Gram negative rods and cocci.[4] Subsequent to elimination from the body, urine can acquire strong odors due to bacterial action,[citation needed] and in particular the release of ammonia from the breakdown of urea.
    It is sterile after it leaves your body as well. It doesn't suddenly just become bacteria ridden immediately.

    so ahh, yeh it does suddenly become ridden with bacteria, as it flies out your fallopian tube dude.

    so you can ease back on your crusade on the sanctity of p!ss, as much as I have enjoyed it.


    only MFP can have u researching weather p!ss is sterile in the middle of your breakfast.

    I thought STD's were transmitted via......sex. I never heard of anyone getting the clap from a shower stall or a swimming pool but hey, what do I know?

    I can't believe this is a thorough conversations lol

    And I also didn't know people peed in the shower. I haven't done that since I was 4. The things you learn in a day :)

    You want an honest answer? Yes, I do (if I really gotta go) but after all, I am showering.

    My new house has a 3" drain at the bottom of the shower.



    It's really a time saver in the morning.


    Haven't bought TP in months.
