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.

Only Protestants get out of the shower to pee.
You mean... women?
Next, they will tell me I need to stop bathing in the toilet!
We probably don’t want to ask to take a shower in the home of a formerly third-world inhabitant, and if you are fond of toilet paper - I suggest you refrain from using the facilities of a Muslim.
And do NOT marry a woman with 3 or more sisters. My wife has six sisters, and they’ve dominated my life for 35+ years. I’ve given that advice to my nephews, and they think I’m a genius. Lol, they know the score, those seven women are their moms or aunts. They’ve lived with the craziness their entire lives.
I had to pee somewhere - and the sink was full of dishes.
Well hell, I sure wouldn’t want my pelvic floor to collapse. I’ve had it ever since I can remember. And I’m having enough Pavlovian trouble trying not to puke every time I see a story about Joe Biden as it is.
Folks who end their warm showers with a 45 second blast of cold water will attest to the fact that the bladder will empty immediately.
“My urine, my choice.”
LOL! *SNORT*
Just remember: You never truly OWN a beer, you just rent it! ;)
And they don't realize that most people already feel an urge to pee when hearing running water. For some, seeing a line at the restroom is enough to summon the urge to urinate. Wow, a doctorate and they don't realize we've already been Pavloved.
I think Homer Simpson said it best, as usual:
“I take a whiskey drink, I take a chocolate drink, and when I have to pee, I use the kitchen sink!”
In his novel 1984, even Orwell did not envision a Newspeak project that would eliminate the very useful distinction between men and women.
In fact, the book's Appendix titled "The Principles of Newspeak" explicitly refers to "man" and "woman" in the context of Newspeak's recognition of essential sexual differences.
The fact is that the elites of American institutions are well and truly insane totalitarians even more possessed than The Party elites of the most dystopian 1984 that could be imagined in 1948.
Any wonder why soldiers in Afghanistan don't risk their lives for gender studies and gay disco? Any wonder why Chinese people generally -- elite and common -- ridicule the "white Left" with the pejorative baizuo?
Straight to the good old FR comments!!!
“ And do NOT marry a woman with 3 or more sisters.”
I agree with you 100%! My fiancé has one estranged brother, no sisters, grown children, no drama. I told her I was interested in her, not her family. She’s cool with that.
