Summer is coming so will you pee in the pool or get out to do your business?
Global warming should make this one of the hotest summers ever. People will be trying to cool off in droves. Pools will be full to capacity. Will you risk your spot in the water and get out to pee or just make people wonder why the water is getting warm all of a sudden ;)
It's fine! The water is chlorinated anyway. When you pee, the pool will just clean it out using chlorine, filtration, and good old dilution. Getting out, drying off, going inside the freezing house, and finding your way to the bathroom in what seems like the darkest place ever (after the intense sunlight) is such a hassle. :)
Okay fine. But it's true. As long as you use a large pool, it'll dilute. And as long as you filter your pool from time to time and use chlorine, it'll be clean. Just don't get one of those solutions that turns the water red when you pee! (Those are myths anyway)
I cannot tell a lie! YES!!! I pee in the pool in the ocean and wherever water is that I'm in. To chilly out there to get out and pee...BUT I always try and pee near an outtake thingy!
Actually, peeing in the ocean is good! The nitrogen in your urine can be used as fertilizer for phytoplankton, which in turn can combat global warming! Who would've thought something like that? In large quantities, it can kill marine life, but in dead zones, the nitrogen can regenerate phytoplankton activity and restore the circle of life there eventually.
People, please remember that urine is sterile when exiting the urethra. You'd probably be safer getting peed on than jumping into a pool with other people in it!
Well, people also spit in the pool - every time they literally spit or just blow out some water. And during that moment, any varietyof bacteria - neutral and detrimental get ejected from their mouths. They're also carrying local (to their bodies) and foreign bacteria (from other locations: bathrooms, you name it) into the pool. I totally get that urine is "urine", but it is sterile and one of the things people should be least concerned about when entering a pool - especially if there are other people in it.
To me, it's one of those things (and I don't mean to be vulgar, though this will be) where a girl will perform fellatio but won't suck a toe because the toe sucking is the nasty thing!
10 years ago, I was all for peeing in pools. Until I heard about the water changing colors when you pee...
but anyway, I'm too grossed out these days to pee in something I swim in. That water goes in my nose and mouth and pores, and I don't want my piss going back in my body. In public pools, I try not to think about all the pee in the pools...but whatever. In lakes, ... eh, let's not go there.
It's all a myth, as I've told others. I don't think it's possible to do this. Or maybe it is, but maybe there is constantly a little urine coming out and that would make it seem intentional... who knows, but...
UHmmm..that's kind of disgusting. I'm not going to say that I've never done it before because when I younger I did, but considering I have legs I might as well get out and go. Besides with everything going around I wouldn't want to catch something because something was in someone else's pee.
Unless you have kidney problems and you pee blood, urine is sterile. It's even safe to drink it if you're in danger of dehydration (for the little amount of water in it).
