Golden showers and safety

In New Zealand, Golden showers are offered by many brothels and working girls. I on another forum often felt the need to add some comments and thought it was worth reworking into a blog on them and safety. I will not focus on the enjoyment of them or the erotic side as that is already well covered by many groups and authors.

The posts came about with men seeking escorts providing this service which lead to this comment from a girl I knew and was aware through Me of some of the risks:
"Hmmmmmm, I think this is a very dodgy activity to partake in if you aren't in a monogamous relationship with the person. Any punter who gets a golden shower from an escort is putting themselves at risk. You can easily pick up STIs (chlamydia, gonohrea) and urinary tract infections from working girls peeing on you. Don't forget - urine is a bodily fluid just like any other. Just a warning."

This had a reply from a lady advertising as a Pro Domme:

"Love your blog *********
Have to correct you on this one though....there is no scientific evidence I've found to suggest STIs can be transmitted through golden showers...urine is, in fact, sterile.
As for Urinary Tract Infections- they are a localized infection (almost always bacterial) of the urethra. They can't be caught from being peed on. Actually one of the ways to minimize risk of contracting UTIs, particularly in women (as we have shorter urethras), is to pee after sex lol.
It could be argued that peeing on someone after you've had sex with them is good for your reproductive health :P"

To which I had to reply:
"As the person who shared this info it is correct. Men do not show signs of UTIs and can pick them up from WG's urine. Have spoken to doctors about this. Urine is not sterile and this is a common way for such things to be passed. The big danger is that men do not show signs of a UTI and they can be far more serious. This is why I encourage all girls I know not to do GS unless they are willing to have up to date check ups frequently and that is not very easy. There are many things where research is non conclusive enough or the research publicly available does not clarify. That does not mean anything. If you would not exchange semen, feces, or blood with another human why would you exchange urine without been sure of their safety and health. As My wife lives overseas I am not sexually active nor have a history of UTIs but I still offer regular std testing for every extreme session dated and shown to clients. ***** thank you for passing on this knowledge and helping make others aware."

It was later brought up again and so I went into more detail. It is a worry that in a country where We have legal prostitution and golden showers are offered as a service that so few are aware of the issues. It is also more worrying to see Professional Dominants who are unaware of them. In fact while I am often under the microscope so to speak for been "too extreme" and therefore implying unsafe, that these same people are providing services without making clients aware of their own health practices. I will detail more after this.

"I have brought this topic up multiple times.
I keep bringing this up with working girls and people who own agencies but I never see statements that current dated std tests are provided or confirmation that a girl does not have a UTI which can be passed to clients and are serious in males. Some listen I hope.. but working girls have a lot of sex and are far more prone to bladder infections.

If not ingested then it is safer unless there is any areas with skin abrasions or sores. How can one be fully aware that there is no broken skin especially if a session has also involved CBT, NT or CP???

Hepatitis B can be found in the urine of infected persons, even those without symptoms. While drinking piss is unlikely to cause infection, golden showers onto areas of broken skin can cause passage of hepatitis B into the blood stream. Before you play, wipe an area of skin with alcohol. Does it sting? If so, there's a small skin break through which viruses could travel. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a very common virus which can cause an acute flu-like illness and may be passed intermittently in the urine, sometimes for years.

People with genital herpes may intermittently pass herpesvirus in the urine, whether or not they are having an outbreak and whether or not they know they are infected. A client who is pissed on with herpes-containing urine could become infected via a skin wound, developing a lesion called herpes gladiatorum. This can come back over and over and over, just like genital herpes or a cold sore. As a note 1 in 5 Americans have herpes not sure of the NZ statistics.

Chlamydia is a bacterium which causes what used to be known as nonspecific urethritis or nongonococcal cervicitis. Chlamydia is the most common STD. Both chlamydia and gonorrhea may be found in the urine of infected people.

Also fungal infections that can be transmitted in the urine which may cause major infections in people with immune system illnesses. These include histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, and coccidiomycosis (valley fever). All three can be a major pain in the ass to get rid of, and in a person with severe immunosuppression can be life-threatening.

Some medications or recreational drugs taken by the giver may end up in anyone drinking their urine. Some drugs don't end up in urine at all. Some are excreted by the kidneys only after being inactivated. However, some are passed in the urine either in their original form or a more active form and run the risk of showing up in the clients urine later on, perhaps during a drug test at work."

So here I am often looked down upon for the activities I enjoy. Although I make clients aware of safety and provide information. I also refuse to participate in these activities with first timers. Still how many have drunk a golden shower from a professional and never considered if that person uses drugs, or has a UTI or something worse. Have you ever thought to require them to be drug tested or provide a STD test result. As many work places require drug testing, and as this practice is so rampant perhaps those of you who have paid an escort or Pro Domme to urinate on you should get checked out.

I recently have been playing with kitty and she has brought up water sports. As We also have been playing with blood and this seems to be an on going relationship. I think I need to get Myself down to the clinic so We can move on and have fun with it. There I simply make a point that if you do promote safe practice then you will have no problem in taking the time to provide such evidence to the fact.

Enjoy and I hope you may have learned something from this.
