firsts series: golden showers



Here’s where I admit that I don’t have a heck of a lot of experience with water sports or scat play in m/m fiction. Yep, practically a virgin here. 🙂

Besides hearing what others have said, the only time I’ve actually read it myself was in an extremely hard core yaoi where the practitioner was described by his sex partner (although he was more of a slave – not in a d/s safe way either – than partner) as a ‘sick fuck’. I concurred.

In all honesty, this is an act which I have no real interest in reading at all because there is something about it that just tips the humiliation and eww scales for me.

Anyway, that’s my opinion. If you’ve read about this type of play, I’ll be interested to know what you think.

    I've only read a golden shower scene once and it was when I was about 13 and read one of my Mum's Harold Robbins books – no idea what it was called. At the time I thought 'ewwww, that's disgusting. Why would anyone want to wee on someone else or even make them drink their wee?'.

    Yep, I pretty much still have that opinion.

    As for scat, well I just don't want to go there. At all. It's way past 'ewwww'.

    I have ZERO experience with this (real life or literature) and I'd prefer to keep it that way. I just don't GET it. Nor do I want to try for either. Although I suppose if forced at gunpoint I'd rather be peed on than pooed on. No wait, I'd rather be shot. Blech.

    Your picture finding ability is stellar my dear, absolutely stellar.

  3. Ingrid says:

    OMG you really did it.

    NO NO NO. I will not read it.

  4. you went there!! OMG!

    Only time I knew about golden showers was while watching an episode of Sex in the City. Carrie dated a guy who wanted to pee on her in the shower.

    Golden showers is so not sexy, unless you are stuck in the wilderness and the only way to save my leg or arm is peeing on it.

  5. Oh ewwwwwwww!!!
    I will not read a book with this in it, it is not sexy on any level, just GROSS in my opinion.
    It made me recall an episode of “Survivor” years ago, when someone stepped on some weird sea critter and to stop the pain a woman peed on him. I about died!
    That's my experience with 'golden showers' and that was too much!

  6. Jenre says:

    KB: Now you've reminded me of a scene I once read where one male character had been injured and another male character weed on him to prevent infection. I'll be damned if I can remember the name of the book though.

  7. Now I have visions of Waterworld where they had to drink their piss to survive.

    Thanks Kris…

  8. Tam says:

    The urban legend is that if you pee on a jelly fish sting it makes it stop hurting. Apparently Michael Douglas' son peed on him after a jelly fish sting. However Mythbusters (I think it was) proved this to be false and there was no advantage to urine over plain water. So even if my body is COVERED with jelly fish stings, keep the wee faaaaar away. Although they say you can drink it in an emergency (say you are trapped in a cave way below the earth with no water and imminent death), but I'd prefer not to test the theory.

    I remember CSI had a show where they found a dead woman with urine in her stomach. Seems it was a “stay young forever” scheme to drink your own urine. Ewwww. I'd rather be wrinkly as a Shar-Pei.

  9. Funnily this is one area I have read alot about…

    There is nothing sexy or sexual about this – this is an area clearly marked out in big bold letters FETISH and not for the faint of heart…

    I knew about fetishes before I knew BDSM…

    I am always amazed that these people gravitate towards each other – because that is so not dinner table getting to you converse or even snuggle down converse…

    eeewwww factor off the charts on this one….

    E.H>

    I've got to join the rest of you and say that I've never read any of this in m/m fiction either. I doubt we'll ever find much of this in m/m fiction because every e-publisher in existence lists it specifically in their submissions guidelines as one of their big, emphatic ABSOLUTELY NOTs along with underage sex, etc. Probably a good thing, ha, ha! I think we get so little respect in our m/m genre that we have to draw the line somewhere.

  11. Ingrid says:

    Val now you mention it. I think I did read about it but on places like nifty. I must have suppressed those memories being so grossed out.

  12. Nope, not sexy at all, I agree!
    All I can think of now is what you will come up next in this firsts series 🙂

  13. K. Z. Snow says:

    I asked my dog Cody what he thought, and he said, “There's nothing kinky about that! It's the other stuff you people do that turns my stomach. Now give me some of that cheesecake to settle it down.”

  14. Kris says:

    Jen: The 'ewws' seem to have it.

    Tam: “Although I suppose if forced at gunpoint I'd rather be peed on than pooed on. No wait, I'd rather be shot. Blech.”

    Word. The baby brother who was sitting with me when I was picture finding was absolutely appalled by this image. Him: You can't post that! Me: But it's Dr Seuss! It's hee-larious! Him: *mutter, mutter* Me:*hehehe*

    Ingrid: What?! You all practically dared me to do it!

    I've never read anything on the nifty site. Have to admit that the few things I've heard about it have scared me off. LOL.

  15. Kris says:

    Katiebabs chooks: “you went there!! OMG!”

    Course! Pfft. I ain't a wimp.

    “Now I have visions of Waterworld where they had to drink their piss to survive.

    Thanks Kris…”

    Welcome! 🙂

    MsM: You should add this topic to one of your WTF Wednesday posts. LOL.

    EH: Yep, this is firmly in the fetish basket.

    “I am always amazed that these people gravitate towards each other – because that is so not dinner table getting to you converse or even snuggle down converse…”

    God, can you imagine?? Definitely NOT something to reveal on a first date. LOL.

    Val, good point about it being a big no no in the submission guidelines. Thinking about it now I'm sure I've read it in a book but it was more the threat of the top peeing while he was fucking or getting a BJ that got the other guy off. It was a sci fi book… maybe by LI…

  16. Kris says:

    Janna, I think I started with the most hard core of them, although there are a few that might still raise some eyebrows. LOL.

    KZ: I would've thought that Castanet was more likely to have something to say about this one.

  17. Chris says:

    Ewwww!

    And how cruel of you to get Waterworld stuck in KB's head. Ugh.

  18. Kris: “MsM: You should add this topic to one of your WTF Wednesday posts. LOL.”

    I think I'll pass on that photo! But I've got some good ones coming up for this WTF Wednesday- hehehe…

    :o)

    MsM

  19. nichem says:

    Ewwwww. Don't wanna read about water play or scat. Though at least urine is sterile– poo has all kinds of bacteria in it.

    Haven't run across either in my reading, thank goodness. Didn't watch the two girls and a cup video people kept sending me links to either. *shudders*

  20. Kris says:

    Chris: “And how cruel of you to get Waterworld stuck in KB's head. Ugh.”

    Not my fault the tangents to which a certain redheads mind will leap. Quite frankly, who else would have put Kevin Costner and this type of play in the same context??

    MsM: I'll look forward to it. 🙂

    Richelle: The doctor speaketh. Scientific analysis of eew confirmed. 😉

    I don't want to know about that video. I. So. Don't. Eek!

  21. Chris says:

    Welllllll…. When Dreamhaven Books & Comics was a mere 5 blocks from me (curse them for moving), the bathroom key was attached to a copy of the book Waterworld….

  22. JenB says:

    I've only read it in porn anthologies, and the second I see it coming (heh), I quit reading and scream obscenities. FUCK NO.

    Carrie dated a guy who wanted to pee on her in the shower.

    I dated this guy too. AND HELL NO, I NEVER LET HIM PEE ON ME.

  23. Kris says:

    And with that my faith in the “[somewhat] narrow-minded and [relatively] inexperienced American” *my arse!* is restored. Knew we could count on you Jen for 'first hand' experience. *hehehe*

  24. JenB says:

    Haha…actually, I married that guy.

    And I STILL won't let him pee on me!

    (I actually think he was joking. I hope.) O_O

  25. Whoa Kris you totally went there OMG. Golden Showers should not be ever mentioned in books. Ever. I can't even type this w/o blushing.

    Golden Showers was explained to me via my next door neighbor {fraternity guy} in college. I was sheltered as a girl.

  26. orannia says:

    I can't believe you went there.

    Actually…just such a scene appeared in a fanfiction I happened to be reading…never again! And just like Jenre, I thought ewwww, disgusting.

  27. Kris says:

    JenB: *snort* I'm just amazed that you married him regardless. 😉

    KC: You seriously expected me to be able to resist? Me??? LOL.

    The only golden shower I want mentioned in a book is when someone wins a gazillion dollars and bathes in champagne. At least that might result in some more, err, tasty, water sports. 😉

  28. Kris says:

    Orannia, I can't believe that you are all surprised that I did. LOL.

    I think that your opinion has held the day with this one. The consensus is definitely 'eww'.

  29. sasipark says:

    Didn't a Brit pollie get some rentboys to pee on his head as a remedy for his baldness a few years ago? I remember feeling so bad for his wife… I mean WTF! A cure for baldness… yeah pull the middle one again matey!!!!
    tish

  30. Kris says:

    W. T. F. Seriously??

    I'm hoping it was just a cover for whatever else he was doing with those rent boys cos otherwise….

  31. Natasha says:

    Yep he was doing the other thing aswell LOL! He was er 'renting' the polish lad (ballet dancer) for about a year and the boy only came forward I think because he was mift that this chappie wanted another boy to er help with his baldness cure. I know there were some piccies about but I never saw them…. my stepdad had to explain the whole GS thing to me though because it was so vague in the pepers LOL!
    tish

  32. Kris says:

    Ah ha, the mistress scorned. Not a good idea.
