It might not be easy to admit, but a lot of people pee in the shower. In fact, a 2020 survey by Showers to You found that 76% of people let loose in the cubicle.
However, pelvic floor therapist Dr. Alicia Jeffrey-Thomas says that showers aren't the place to pee, for legitimate health reasons.
Dr. Jeffrey-Thomas, who has a doctorate in physical therapy, told her 400,000 TikTok followers back in April that there are two main reasons urinating in the shower isn't a good idea.
The video can be seen in full here.
Dr. Jeffrey-Thomas explained that the first reason applies to everyone and cited the famous "Pavlov's Dog" experiment, in which dogs were conditioned to associate various stimuli with getting food, and so would salivate at the sound or sight of them alone instead of the food. Instead, Dr. Jeffrey-Thomas said we humans are essentially conditioning ourselves to associate the sound of running water with needing to urinate.

It is amusing to watch as the insanity of wokeness defiles our language:
Dr. Jeffrey-Thomas claimed in the video that only those assigned female at birth will need to be concerned. People with vaginas can't fully relax the pelvic muscles
It is not the “sound” of running water...it is being hit with warm water.
Different pipes go to different places! You’re going to mix them up!
So people born with vaginas who self-identify as Men shouldn't pee standing up?
Newsweak, Newspeak, has been famous since the 1970s for making ‘science’ stories up whole-cloth.
My urine, my choice.
those assigned female at birth?
People with vaginas?
This is a reminder, we are NOT supposed to think that one is born male or female, but rather, such sex designation is “assigned” at birth. They make it sound as if such assignment is an arbitrary decision made at birth. I’ve always thought there are certain observable characteristics which lead to the assignment/designation of sex at birth, but I guess I’m behind the times.
And when contemplating the vagina, here I thought that a female would have a vagina. I thought by definition, a female has a vagina. Silly me. Again, I’m just not up on the latest fads.
For these and other reasons, I will be sent to re-education camp someday.
Urine trouble now.
Isn’t urine sterile?
Her followers on tic toc? Well there you go.
I'm sorry, what?
One is a cup of hot coffee first thing in the morning...and another is taking a relaxed pee in a hot shower.
They can take my shower pee away from my cold dead...something or other...what was the question?
From bacteria if the kidneys aren’t compromised. Not against virus infections.
“ This is a reminder, we are NOT supposed to think that one is born male or female, but rather, such sex designation is “assigned” at birth.”
Queers and people with gender dysphoria demand to be considered normal. They are not normal. They are crazy. Stay away from crazy.
But I just spent a bunch of money having shower floor tiles installed with pictures of Democrat politicians on them ...
I never pee in the shower. I also rarely use the toilet. My contribution to saving water is using the woods surrounding my house. I learned that from Moshe Dayan and my yellow lab.
When I went to boot camp in Great Lakes Illinois, they told us to pee on our feet, because it’s sterile and it will kill fungus infections.
