Peeing while showering is a classic taboo subject. Almost everyone does it, but nobody talks about it. According to a survey in the USA, a good 80 per cent of respondents do more than just run water in the shower. And I find it hard to believe that it's any different in this country. So dear prayer sisters and brothers, let's be honest, how many of us have never peed while showering? Even if many would be ashamed to admit it openly, because peeing in the shower is a no-go - ugh, how disgusting - nevertheless, most of us have done it. Not always, but at some point and not just us men.
"We'd like to say THANK YOU for that!"
Who would have thought that we shower pee-ers are doing our bit for the good of nature? In fact, without realising it, we are actually protecting our planet. Urinating under the shower in the morning has an environmentally friendly aspect. This is also reported by the science portal IFLS. Mathematicians from the United States have calculated that showering once a day in combination with peeing helps to save over 2000 litres of water per year - per inhabitant!
However, the benefits of the practical pee are even more far-reaching.
It's not just because there is no need to flush the toilet. There is also no need to wash your hands afterwards, which in turn uses water and soap. We also avoid contact with toilet bacteria and germs. The toilet paper lasts longer.
In addition, urine is said to help against eczema, athlete's foot, corns, psoriasis, warts and is good for the skin.*
Conclusion: "Lolling" in the shower is completely ok. Peeing in the swimming pool or in the bath is not so cool. The little stream has no place in the sea or lake either. The basic rule is always to go to the loo when you have to do the big business: Off to the loo!
The final tip to combat the global water shortage: let's take this insight to heart the next time we visit a brothel. Urinate in the shower before and after coitus, to the delight of the brothel operators and for the good of nature.
*If you have aurinary tract disease, open wounds or other risks of infection, it is better to pacify in the old-fashioned way or as your doctor has advised.
