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.

Yes, when it exits the body. It doesn’t stay that way for very long.
associate the sound of running water with needing to urinate.
First one has to train oneself that it is okay to pee in such a situation. But the problem would be that when one has dispensed with the peeing gizmo and is back to normal peeing, mightn't one forget that it is not okay to pee right where one is standing and wet oneself?
I think it is best to associate peeing with being in the bathroom standing in front of or sitting on the toilet.
Guess I better pull up that Jane Fonda urinal target then.
The left’s crazy new language rules make it impossible to hold a PG rated conversation. The word “women” is nice because you can comfortably use it in public or in front of your kids or in front of your mom. So of course it has to be banished and replaced with something inappropriately explicit.
Very bigoted author. Doesn’t everyone have a right to self identify as a Shower Pee-er is they so choose?
I’ve a sneaking suspicion that all those finding this thread funny are guys...
Can’t wait for the next prostate thread. ;-)
What does Pimple Popper MD say?
Sounds to me like this mentally challenged "doc" is acknowledging the existence of God ... or else who did the "assigning" at birth (actually, nine months before birth?)
Very funny! I guess I should call “them” a “canine of color “.
As far as I am concerned, the world is my urinal. It have peed on many famous structures, and I have stopped the car with gps to pee directly upon the tropic of cancer, the tropic of capricorn, the equator, and the arctic circle with one leg straddling both sides of each line. Someday I wish to pee on the antarctic circle, and then maybe a few choice graves
They make it sound as if such assignment is an arbitrary decision made at birth.
Simmer down Joe...
Must be under the “glass ceiling” or something.
No wonder people in the swimming pools are always smiling.
She had a helluva show last night. As usual, plenty of cringeworthy moments.

Must admit I too am guilty of the horrific sin of using my shower in this manner. But...I also brush my teeth in the shower! Therefore I must always use VERY, special care NOT to drop the toothbrush. (At least not before I finish brushing my teeth LOL ;>)
Eww, all those dog germs after he drank from it and you’re bathing in that.
