A member asked:
I want to engage in golden showers with my partner but she has tested positive for genital herpes. can i get it from ingesting her urine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Some viruses, such as the ones that cause herpes and genital warts, can be transmitted through skin to skin contact. There is no transmission of STDs through urine. So, the chance of getting an STD from a shower of urine is next to zero.
