Cracking one out in the shower

DH and I were just discussing the weeing in the shower thread: he thinks it’s disgusting, I don’t. Not that I’ve ever done it.

Anyway, I then posited the suggestion that many men choose the shower as a wank venue - and why not? It’s private, the evidence is washed away, and one emerges with a nice clean member.

He was appalled by this. Again, thinks it’s gross, and a complete myth.

I disagree. I’m sure I recall several men in the past either telling me or inferring that they like to bash the bishop in the shower.

Wise folk of Mumsnet, what say you?

It sounds pretty grim for grown men to do that. I can understand teenage boys doing it. Not all men are rampantly sexual.

The thing is - wee has a very strong smell that is difficult to get rid of. Think about how well you clean your toilet, only to still get a faint whiff of urine every now and again, due to the fact you may have missed a bit that sprayed somewhere. So your shower could end up smelling like a toilet?!

With that in mind, I'd be less bothered about jizzing in the shower (if I had to choose) and it's a 'no no' to wees...

Ex used to do this. I thought it was grim. Though hard to know which was worse after learning he preferred to wank into the toilet, as that was more convenient. Hmm

If the latter is "normal" male behaviour I don't think I want to live in this world, so please nobody tell me.

SeptimusQuench · 18/08/2018 21:31

Thank you Torn
I really should know that Grin

I thought this was going to be about pooing in the shower and was thinking no bloody way.

elQuintoConyo · 18/08/2018 21:37

I do. I wouldn't be fussed if DH did, too. Don't fancy asking.

BigBlueBubble · 18/08/2018 21:38

Not just men. I thought most ladies would also have discovered the benefits of a thorough “wash” with the shower head?

meel · 18/08/2018 21:40

DH doesn’t wank in the shower because he says he can’t stay standing up, yet his preferred place to wank is into the bathroom sink, so he must be standing up for that?! I blame boarding school for this horrible habit...

NotUmbongoUnchained · 18/08/2018 21:42

Really can’t see what is grim about wanking somewhere that’s private, clean and gets washed away straight after. In fact, it’s probably the most logical place to wank!

Furrycushion · 18/08/2018 21:45

Certainly happens in this house. And I often wee in the shower. Whyever not?

thecatsarecrazy · 18/08/2018 21:48

My dh does. Hes just had the snip and needs to knock 20 out. He proudly told me coming out the shower 19 now! Didn't bother me

LyndorCake · 18/08/2018 21:49

I do! So does DH. Sometimes the hot water gets me in the mood so I just go for it.

GladAllOver · 18/08/2018 21:49

Sex in the shower is great, in fact it's compulsory during AF.

nicebitofquiche · 18/08/2018 21:50

So where does your husband have a wank? If he says he doesn't he's lying.

Flyingpompom · 18/08/2018 21:55

I really don't understand what is grim about this! Where would people prefer their partners to do this?

FuckKnuckle · 18/08/2018 21:56

I just asked DH - he winced and said, "Ooh, no, that would hurt because of the lube being washed off. And soap would sting." Confused

c3pu · 18/08/2018 21:58

Semen goes clumpy and sticky in water, plus I'm on water meter... Not to mention the gas used to hear it up.

Far more economical/sensible places to crack one out.

TakemedowntoPotatoCity · 18/08/2018 22:09

It's not just men the right kind of jet from the shower head can do wonders

So I've heard Halo

MidLifeCrisis2017 · 18/08/2018 22:11

Don't know what I love most, Caspar's pedantry or C3pu's parsimony!

Spanglylycra · 18/08/2018 22:13

My husband was on a lads holiday and found his best mate had cracked one out and left the evidence all over Dh's toiletries (!)

BitOfFun · 18/08/2018 22:16

"I'm on a water meter" Grin

Zoflorabore · 18/08/2018 22:20

Definitely happens here! Teenage ds spends rather long in there every day sometimestwice and dp has told me he has done it.

I know that dd and I both wee in the shower. My shower is spotless as I clean it after every use. Water makes me need to wee.

Better than my neighbour who pissed in her kitchen sink at a recent soirée. Only a few of us left, she was wrecked, climbed on a chair, lifted her dress up and done a wee.
We all went home 5 minutes later.

There were no dishes in there but I thought it was absolutely disgusting. She didn't even clean it afterwards Grin

sirfredfredgeorge · 18/08/2018 22:28

The surveys suggest most men do not masturbate standing up, or do so only very rarely, so whilst the bathroom might be more common - although surveys also suggests only about a quarter of men probably ever do it there - I suspect it's more likely to be seated.

Obviously though, the bathroom and shower may be the only place guaranteed privacy in a house with kids in, so I suspect that among men in that situation would be more common.

SecretWitch · 18/08/2018 22:31

My ex husband certainly did as I may or may not have been there. Our shower had a nice built in seat for all sorts of activities.

honeybeetheoneandonly · 18/08/2018 22:32

Massage stream setting on the shower head, for the ladies... is all I'm saying! :)
