What exactly is this golden shower?
Golden shower is the generic term for games involving urine. Even if the word, which alludes to the bubbling golden spring of the human body, actually refers to the urine itself. The fetish, i.e. the preference for both the process of urinating and the sexual and erotic attraction to urine itself, is called “urophilia”.
This type of play is also known as water sports. Depending on the scene, there are other names such as golden waterfalls, golden fist, wet games or piss games.
This usually means that a person urinates on another person or themselves, sometimes also drinking fresh or bottled urine. These practices can be carried out by people of any gender.
What is the appeal of golden showers?
There are many reasons for this preference. It all depends on what emotions are attached to the game. For people with the fetish of urophilia, it’s clear: they love playing with the liquid and enjoy the practice itself.
BDSM is often about humiliating the bottom. The gesture of “peeing on” is also widely known from books and films as a sign of one’s own superiority and exposure of the weakness of the inferior. Forcing yourself to wet yourself can also be extremely humiliating. It is therefore no coincidence that urinating is also used as a punishment. Especially for subs who find the feeling of shame and the urine itself unpleasant.
For many, the idea of objectification is also appealing. By acting as a urinal, a toilet, he or she is reduced to an object with a lower function. A familiar dynamic is that of toilet servant and master, whereby the former is objectified through this golden shower game.
Still others see it as a reward and a special sign of devotion to receive the dominant person’s urine. A special sign of possession, devotion and trust, spiced up with an animalistic note.
What do you actually do?
You can also play golden showers in different ways. Here are the most common practices
- Golden showers involve urinating on one or more people kneeling or lying on the floor.
- Peeing on the receiving person directly after sex is also very popular. The intimate pose is loosened a little and the urine is simply allowed to run.
Human urinal: This is where urine is urinated into the mouth of the Bottom. The urine is then either swallowed or flows from the open mouth onto the body, as can be seen in many golden shower porn videos. This game is particularly humiliating when the receiving person is kneeling and the dominant person is standing. However, it also works well if the person urinating is being orally pleasured comfortably on their back.
- Toilet chair: A specially made chair that resembles a box with a toilet seat is used here. It has a hole for the head and is often part of the equipment in dominatrix or bizarre studios. One variation is for Sub to hold a toilet seat over her face and open mouth.
- Golden shower, cheers! Peeing into glasses and then deliberately drinking the urine is popular at parties and/or another form of humiliation.
- “Flooding the cave” is the flattering euphemism for urinating with a penis into a vagina after sexual intercourse. Immediately after ejaculation, the penis remains in position and a lot of pressure is exerted on the bladder in order to fill the vagina further afterwards.
- But it also works the other way round, with a woman or person with a vagina peeing on a penis. This works particularly well in the missionary or riding position.
- Piss enema: Golden showers are very popular in the male gay scene, but straight men also pee into the intestines of their sexual partner after or during anal intercourse. The recipient often has to hold the fluid in the rectum for a while.
- As mentioned above, a common form of play is to force someone else to pee themselves, for example by banning them from the toilet.
- Marking territory: An animalistic form of play in which one person is marked as property by the urine of another.
- Many fans of the golden shower fetish also like to pee on themselves or in their mouths.
- A more extreme form of golden shower play is to insert a catheter.
What should you bear in mind with this fetish?
Golden showers can literally go down the drain very quickly, as this type of play has the potential to flood the home. It is therefore best to practise it in the shower, bathtub or on a tiled surface. A paddling pool or at least a plastic sheet can also be used to protect carpets and parquet flooring from urine. Some swingers and BDSM clubs offer extra wet cells on the playing area for this type of play, some even have so-called “piss channels” where fans of golden showers can sit down.
In general, it is important to stay as hydrated as possible for this type of play, i.e. to drink a lot. However, foods such as asparagus, coffee, eggs, onions, lots of red meat, alcohol and energy drinks lead to an unpleasant taste and smell, which is why they should be avoided.
While urine has a peculiar taste even without these foods, it is largely harmless and is even considered sterile. Nevertheless, golden showers can transmit sexually transmitted diseases such as hepatitis, chlamydia, gonorrhea and others. However, as long as there is no blood in the urine, there should be no risk of infection for most other diseases.
