Mmmm. Yum. (j/k)
Seriously, there are those who do and swear by it, claiming better health. It’s mostly an Eastern cultural thing. Apparently, after three days of drinking your own urine (well, I would hope it would be your own) it becomes perfectly clear, odorless, and tasteless. I’ve read that Gandhi regularly drank his.
Incidentally, I haven’t. The closest I ever came to drinking my own urine was when I was a little kid. While standing and peeing I accidentally got a little on my finger. I was curious so…
I remember it was salty.
Bottoms up!

No. But I also try very hard not to follow crazy fads that have no basis in medicine.
I haven’t had the occasion yet to drink my own pee. As appealing as that sounds, I’ll stick to water for the time being.
On a side note, a member of my military unit is a former Army medic and he said that all fluids exiting the body are sterile. In this case, if you absolutely had to drink urine, at least it would be clean.
I did as a child out of curiosity. Filled a cup and gave it a taste. Maybe it would have been better over ice. hee hee. needless to say, one taste was all it took to cure that experiment.
I do know that native Americans used to use it to tan hides, and Bluefreedom is right, it is sterile.
Yes. Wilderness survival school. It was shitty, and felt degrading, but it was doable. I hope I never, ever have to again.
Hahaha, imaginging your avatar…just. lol4rl x infinity.
I think my mom might have done it, she ran one of those holistic healing centers in the 70s. But quite frankly, I don’t think I want to know.
if its good for you then why do we piss it out??
I think I’m going go gag!!!!!!!
@alive. Of all the fluids you intake, the body will process what it needs to function and the rest is relegated to a waste product which has to be expelled from the body at some point. Just because it is sterile doesn’t mean it should stay in the body. We take in liquids constantly and if we never released any of that, we’d probably explode eventually. The skin has some elasticity to it but not enough to stretch ad infinitum.
Our Cousins don’t seem to have any problem with it.
I don’t even have to click there to know where that link leads. It’s the chimp drinking his pee, isn’t it?
What would expect captivity to do to an intelligent species?
let me be more specific: it has urea/ammonia in it (both toxic). and some other junk, still not good
also, it is perfectly possible for humans to have evolved a way to not pee and instead absorb all the liquid we intake. BUT because all the functions our bodies do produce waste we have to get rid of it (key words: rid of waste—- so i repeat how can it do you any good?)
It’s perfectly possible huh?
How come nothing’s got around to that yet then?
I have this almost irresistible urge to take this somewhere it shouldn’t go (i.e. oral sex).
You’ve got the hunger.
You had a taste, and now you need more.
Perfectly natural.
I wonder how it mixes with Vodka.
@syz…mellow yellow is when you use urine in place of bong water
When I was a little kid I saw a picture of someone puking in a toilet but I thought he was drinking out of it. So…
Never. I don’t think I could.
NO!!!! That sound so gross!!!
Not as of yet. I’ve seen it done on the Survivor Man and Man vs. Wild shows, so if I ever had to, I think I could. Maybe.
I have never tasted my own pee, but I can’t help to think that most of us have tasted some pee at some time. Well, at least the lesbo’s and hetero males around here.
See, I’m not the only one who’s mind went there….
Definitely not. One of our daughters has “tasted” my boyfriend’s urine, though. While he was weeing, she became fascinated by the stream of pee and reached up on the toilet and started batting at his pee. Then, she licked her paw.
I totally thought Golden Showers on this thread like a thousand times.
0.o eek.
@asmo: Umm…that ‘stach certainly didn’t come from pee…please don’t tell me it’s a dirty san…
MY MOMMY DREW THAT ON MY FACE. YOU’VE RUINED MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES. /SADFACE.
That’s what I’m here for. sorry
IT’S OKAY YOU CAN STILL TUG MY THONG.
There’s got to be a urine bar in L.A., wouldn’t you think?
thanks chuck! i just figured out what my new entrepreneurial business will be!
Yeah, schoolgirl panties in vending machines and urine bars. Definitely Tokyo.
Well not intentionally, but I am sure going down on a lady causes you to taste it at least. lol.
Some people in India engage in this practice in the belief that it is healthful.
