An old friend of mine used to say disparagingly of someone "she's the sort of person who gets out of the shower to pee."

Many species eat their own feces because proteins they need are produced in their colons. Not saying we fit into that august company, but rather that this statement does not take into account all the facts on the ground. Chucking something out as waste is not an indication that you shouldn't want it back.
Urine may well contain water soluble vitamins e.g. Vit C which the body couldn't use the first time around. As for feces, they are choc-a-block full of harmful bacteria from the word go. Their offensive smell is probably a warning not to re-absorb them back into our systems. Humans who do are probably doing it for fetishistic reasons.

Yes - water soluble vitamins - useful.

I guess this is why fecal matter is now being used as a medical treatment for gut problems

Just to clear up what is clearly a misapprehension, my comments were written based upon my background as a Biochemist.

Yes, faecal components are used to treat certain gut conditions but, as is often the case, the devil is in the detail - note the word "components" - consuming your own faeces whole is, to put it mildly, an unhealthy pastime.

Ditto, urine.

Yes - reminding me of the joke about life being a turd sandwich...

Babies usually receive a fecal innoculation during the birth process - which is one reason why the head normally faces backwards as they emerge. Like a yogurt starter colony for the gut. Personally I would have to be very hard pressed to try out either of these. But with there being maybe 10,000 species of bacteria in the ecosystem of the gut, most of them neutral or beneficial rather than pathogenic (at least when in ecological balance), it's a field of health that needs a a whole lead more investigation than it has received so far. It will take years to adequately map healthy gut bacterial balances before we really know how to deliberately introduce specific strains for a specific effect. So throwing in a handful of bacteria from a healthy digestive system (like a dog or a baby would receive it) is still the best option.

Don't see the problem with having a wee in the shower. Besides. When you get to a certain age leakage can become an occasional way of life. If your bladder unexpectedly gets a little active when you're standing inside a water-proof cubicle with a constant stream of water flushing the used shower-water down to the sewer system it's not exactly a problem. And if the incontinent need not feel guilty with an extra splash here and there, why should anyone else?

The shower is the practice for the real thing later in the day.

We don't have any birds in our shower. However, when we lived in West Africa, a frog took up residence; he ate the mosquitoes so we were pleased, although one did have a strange feel of being "looked at" whilst bathing!

I'm reminded of our toilet frog in Guyana. Flush then pee, and then hurry to go to sleep again before he swam up the pipe and started singing again. With manual flushing with a bucket, it was rather annoying. I don't recall anyone every claiming to have 'bombed' him. I liked the kitchen chameleon better.

An unscientific poll says:
quote:

Poll results: Do you already Go With The Flow ? (93 votes.)

Do you regularly pee in the shower ?

Yes 54% (50)
No 46% (43)

Do you regularly pee in the bath ?

Yes 9% (8)
No 91% (85)

Do you regularly pee in the sink ?

Yes 6% (6)
No 94% (87)

Do you regularly have sex in the bath and/or shower ?

Yes 12% (11)
No 88% (82)

Do you ever defecate in any equipment/appliance not designed for this ?

Yes 5% (5)
No 95% (88)

Most exotic elaboration of the last question is, in a climbing helmet. Anyone acknowledging unconventional defecation tends to be referring to wilderness methods.

Re cursive: In Canada when peeing in the snow, it is common to try to write your name or something potty in the snow, in cursive. I probably even have photos somewhere....

I do have a photo where the sun is setting in the background so that outlines only are seen, and from the other canoe, the boy scout in the front is clearly peeing in the lake while the one in the back is dipping his cup in the water. (we do generally drink straight from the lakes in the north)

I used to enjoy doing that when coming back from the pub with a full bladder but we don't get enough snow in England. Plus if you include your surname, someone's going to report you to the police.

I was driving up to Carlisle last night and got caught in a traffic jam in the outside lane of the M6 due to an accident. I ended up being desperate for a widdle and unable to hold it in any longer. I wasn't overly keen on stepping out and going next to my car - especially as the police were walking up and down and I might risk being done for indecent exposure. Not having a bottle, I ended up widdling into my hat while sat in my car and then tipping it out of my window. I wasn't entirely successful in maintaining complete dryness within the car and crotch area, but the feeling of relief was amazing.

Yes. I have reached a certain - ahem - age, and quite agree.

I have seen our old cat Louis (now sadly gone through the great cat-flap in the sky) peeing down the plughole in the bath. And once or twice I caught him balancing on the toilet bowl, peeing down the toilet.

What puzzles me is, when the weather's warm and the garden door's open, and the cats wander in and out...why do they come back in the house, do a dump in the litter tray, and then bog off out into the garden again? Dear little creatures [Biased] [/possible tangent]

(Semi-serious mode) And if anything we have said here lead you to accomodating your personal health and comfort over some societally imposed squick factor, this thread has justified its existence.

That was a pragmatic, resourceful, and creative solution. Just curious --1. What kind of hat? 2. Was it worth washing it later, or did you just toss the hat later?

It was a very nice cloth, wide brimmed hat Kelly.

It was touch and go if the cloth would hold the liquid and if its capacity was sufficient. It worked out remarkably well in the end.

I believe so.

Sounds like a colossal mess waiting to happen. But then again, I have ten thumbs.

There is an urban legend that going back to the days of horses and carts, a man is entitled to pee against one of the wheels of the cart. I think it's the front nearside. It must be one where he is within reach of the reins while doing it. I don't know whether anyone has ever tested whether this transposes to a car. If I'd been in a traffic jam, I think I'd have been tempted to try it on the basis 'are you really going to challenge me?'

Incidentally, If this is true, equality legislation should mean that this remedy is open to women as well.

Not having a bottle, I ended up widdling into my hat while sat in my car and then tipping it out of my window. I wasn't entirely successful in maintaining complete dryness within the car and crotch area, but the feeling of relief was amazing.

(Semi-serious mode) And if anything we have said here lead you to accomodating your personal health and comfort over some societally imposed squick factor, this thread has justified its existence.

That was a pragmatic, resourceful, and creative solution. Just curious --1. What kind of hat? 2. Was it worth washing it later, or did you just toss the hat later?

what kind of hat? It must a) be relatively waterproof, and b) not have those little vent holes in the side, and c) either your bladder is smaller than mine when full, or this is not far off a ten gallon hat. Which also raises questions as to why a 10 gallon hat is so called in the first place.

Discounting Shipwrecks, more sailors have been lost at sea peeing over the side than by any other activity.

I have heard rumours that pregnant women are allowed to borrow policemen's helmets when there's no nearby public convenience. Is this why there are fewer policemen on the street?

If you're going to pee in the shower, at least choose one of these.

Every one probably cost more than my house - in fact, I'd be happy living in some of those showers

I never used to piss in the shower because I thought my wife wouldn't like it. When I found out that she had happily been doing it since we moved into our flat together...well, I saw nothing to stop me from joining in (not at the same time you understand).

As to drinking urine, one reason I've heard for doing so is if you've consumed hallucinogenic mushrooms and want to get high again. The metabolites expelled in urine are actually more potent than the originals, so you in theory get even higher. I hasten to add that I do not speak from experience here.

The water on your skin is no more pleasant and cleansing in one of those showers than in yours at home - just shut your eyes and enjoy it!
