We barely started 2017 and already sex made a HUGE entry into mainstream via the political arena.

News anchors and reporters are repeatedly using the phrase ‘golden showers’ when talking about President-elect Donald Trump.

Let's look at the sex topic everyone is talking about - Golden Showers.


So what exactly are golden showers?


The term “golden shower” ? also known as “water sports” ? is slang for a sex act or fetish involving one partner peeing on or in front of their partner.

While it might seem like a new sexual activity, only because it’s a fetish that is not often talked about, being turned on by bodily fluids is actually a relatively common desire. Just because it’s not heard or spoken about often, it doesn’t mean it’s not a fairly popular and regular part of some peoples’ sex lives.

Receiving or giving a golden shower is no different to squirting or cum play. It is the eroticism of feeling a partner's body fluid on your skin.

This fetish, like a lot of fetishes, is not for everyone, but it is very popular (even if people don't talk about it). Can I tell you a secret? The person you’re dating/ meeting next weekend, probably has a fetish you don’t know about, and you probably have one of your own.

For some people body fluids are a very erotic thing. Urine is one of the body fluids, just like semen or spit but not as openly eroticised.  Just like you might enjoy finishing your load on her face, you might get another satisfaction from her peeing on you or vice versa if she’s into it.

Let’s explore briefly what a golden shower is and how to talk to your partner about it.

What is a golden shower?

Golden shower is the act of peeing on or around your sexual partner, or getting peed on.
This can involve anything from; watching another person urinate, to being urinated on, urinating on someone, to drinking or having someone drink urine or urinating in someone’s mouth.

2. Why Do People Like Golden Showers?

Why in the world someone would willingly pee or be peed on, you ask.
Sex and sexual turn-ons are very particular and there’s no right or wrong, just tastes and likes.
The appeal of Golden showers might be varied; curiosity and the wish to try something new to add to your sexual routine. Some people enjoy to role-play the Dom/sub, others like the degradation or humiliation component, and some people enjoy it because it’s taboo.
There’s no right or wrong, as long as both partners are consensual and safe, it is normal and healthy to explore your fetishes.

3. Are Golden Showers safe?

Common wisdom holds, urine is sterile and people can drink urine without posing a health risk. To be absolutely safe, since urine can carry bacteria, ensure your play partner is ‘safe’. Urine is only sterile if when a person is healthy or not infected.
Leaving you with negotiating it and getting consent on when, where and how to engage with this fetish.

4. How Can You Talk To Your Partner About Getting Into Golden Showers?

As with any other fetish or sexual act do your prep work before you drop the bomb. Maybe talk about fetishes in general to get an idea of what you all are interested in and possibly even have you partner open up about some of their fetishes. View some porn with a bit of water sports in it or squirting and gauge their reaction.

Another way is to go to RHP's forum and ask how others brought any new sexual act up with their partners and get a few ideas and strategies.

If you're curious about Golden showers, but afraid to mention it to others in fear of them being grossed out, don't be. Life's too short to worry about what other people think.

Fetishes are healthy when you express them and act them out with adult consenting partners who share them.

Now get out there and experiment with your fetishes and fantasies, whatever they may be.
