What is a golden shower?
A golden shower is a sex act that involves peeing. Usually, people think it refers to having a partner pee on you or to pee on your partner, but the sex act takes many forms. While the name seems like someone needs to be covered in urine for it to qualify as a golden shower, that isn’t the case.
There aren’t any hard and concrete rules for golden showers. As long as the sex act involves urine in one way or another, it qualifies as a golden shower.
Some of the forms of golden showers include pouring urine on your partner from a glass, peeing on them directly, or just peeing in front of them. If you’re interested in golden showers, there’s a lot of variety to explore, which makes it very interesting for a lot of people.
The origins of golden showers
One reason why people are familiar with the term golden shower is because of how it was popularised in Sex and the City. On top of that, there have been numerous scandals and reports over the years of some prominent figures participating in the act.
However, golden showers can be traced back at least to the 1940s, when the term was first used. The term appeared in a slang dictionary in 1943, so we can say that it has been around since around that time.
That said, finding an exact date for when golden showers were invented can be tricky. For thousands of years, humans have been experimenting with various sex acts. So, it’s easy to assume that many people experimented with some sort of golden shower throughout human history.
But today, golden shower is seen as a fairly unorthodox kink that quite a few people enjoy. However, there’s a high chance that there are more people into the act than you think, as this isn’t the information that people broadcast to their friends.
Are golden showers messy?
Golden showers can get messy. This is why it’s important to put a lot of thought and planning into it before trying one out for yourself. However, if done properly, golden showers aren’t that messy. Or, at the very least, the mess is relatively easy to handle.
When playing around with urine, there’s a high chance that you might create a mess. Therefore people usually test out golden showers in the bathroom or other areas that are easy to clean.
With that said, the mess can be part of the turn on for a lot of people. So, just because it can be a messy sex act doesn’t mean people don’t participate.

Why do people enjoy golden showers?
It can be hard to get down to the exact reason why people enjoy golden showers. This is because most people who are into golden showers won’t readily disclose this information, let alone what attracts them to the act.
On top of that, everyone has different reasons for their kinks. So, it’s close to impossible to determine a singular reason that people enjoy golden showers. However, there are a couple of common reasons that apply to a fair amount of people that do golden showers.
To start, the humiliation that occurs when someone pees on you can be a turn on for some people. For many people, getting humiliated is a major kink and having someone pee on you could be one of the “ultimate” forms of humiliation for them.
On the flip side, peeing on someone can be empowering for a lot of people. This is why golden showers aren’t uncommon in BDSM circles wherein there’s a dominant and submissive person in the dynamic. Usually, the dom will feel the power when peeing on their partner while the sub gets humiliated.
Another reason golden showers are popular is the sensory aspect of it. The warm feeling of urine touching the body can be unlike any other. And for many people, this sensation is unmatched and can be a huge turn on.
While these are the main reasons some people are into golden showers, it’s far from all of them. Remember, sex is different for everyone. So, while some people enjoy participating in golden showers for the above reasons, many others have their own unique reasons for enjoying them.
Things to know before trying a golden shower
Golden showers are more popular than you think. Many couples try this sex act out themselves and find it very enjoyable. However, there are some things to consider before trying it out if you want everything to be safe and enjoyable.
Here are some key things to keep in mind before trying out new kinks, such as a golden shower for the first time:
Communication is key
Firstly, you must ensure that both parties are on the same page. You never want to surprise your partner with golden showers. Not everyone is a fan of golden showers, and some people might get grossed out if their partner suddenly started peeing near, on, or around them.
So, before anything, make sure that you talk to your partner. Ask them if they are into it; if they aren’t, let the subject rest. And if they are, you have to make sure you talk about how, when, and where you plan on doing it.
Hygiene is crucial
Another thing to consider is the hygiene aspect. When you play with urine, you will come into contact with bacteria. This is unavoidable because of the nature of urine. This is why couples that do golden showers need to pay extra close attention to the hygiene aspect of the sex act to ensure no one gets an infection or is sick from the golden shower.
To start, you want to make sure that you do it in a safe and clean place. For many first-timers, this is the bathroom as it’s easy to clean.
From there, you want to ensure the pee doesn’t get anywhere it isn’t supposed to. For example, it should not come into contact with any wounds or openings in the body. And as much as possible, you don’t want to consume it.
It’s pretty common for some urine to end up in the person’s mouth during a golden shower. This should be fine, but it’s important that you don’t make a habit out of consuming it.
Plan it out
Once you and your partner agree that you want to try out a golden shower, preparation and planning are crucial. To start, you must plan out where you plan to do it. As mentioned earlier, the bathroom or shower area is probably the best place to try it out.
From there, try and consider what you actually plan on doing. Is one person peeing on the other? Are you collecting the urine in a glass and pouring it on them? Or are you doing a completely different take on the golden shower?
Remember, this sex act doesn’t have any hard rules you need to follow for it to be a golden shower. So, don’t be afraid to really explore your kinky side to figure out how you want to perform the golden shower.

Are golden showers safe?
Golden showers bring a fair number of risks with them. To start, even if urine is mostly water, it also isn’t sterile. There is a lot of bacteria in urine, which is why it’s very important to avoid getting it on any cuts or openings on your skin. And as much as possible, avoid getting any of it in your mouth, so you don’t ingest too much urine.
Additionally, it’s important to clean up right after the act. This is because you don’t want the urine to stay on the person too long as that can be dangerous and leave a smell.
But if you understand the risks, take actions to mitigate them, and ensure that you and your partner are on the same page, golden showers can still be a lot of fun.
How to give a golden shower
Giving a golden shower is pretty easy. All you have to do is pee on your partner or pour urine on them, depending on your arrangement. If you have a sub/dom setup, you can spice things up even further by adding some dirty talk.
Before urinating on your partner, however, you may want to drink a lot of water throughout the day and relieve yourself at least an hour before having sex. That way, the urine isn’t as strong and won’t be as dangerous.
How to receive a golden shower
When receiving a golden shower, all you have to do is get into position and wait. However, make sure that the urine doesn’t get near any cuts and openings on the skin and doesn’t get in your mouth. That way, you’re sure that everything is safe.
Are golden showers for you?
While they are pretty obscure and unorthodox, golden showers can be a lot of fun for some couples. But before trying it out, make sure to understand the risks and how to do things properly. That way, you and your partner try out a new sex act in the safest way possible!
