Urolagnia

"Golden shower" redirects here. For the Brazilian band, see Golden Shower (band)

Urolagnia (also known as urophilia or undinism) is a sexual fetish in which participants derive sexual pleasure from urine and urination. Urolagnia is sometimes associated with, or confused with, Omorashi.

People with urolagnia often like to urinate in public, or urinate on, or be urinated on by other people, and may drink the urine. The consumption of urine is urophagia. Some like to watch others doing these things. These activities are often described by the euphemisms "golden showers" or "watersports" (which should not be confused with water sports).

Some people, but not many, drink large quantities of their own urine as alternative medicine. This is not the same as urolagnia.

Notable urophiliacs

• Havelock Ellis - British sexologist who was impotent until at age sixty he discovered that he was aroused by the sight of a woman urinating. Ellis is also notable for his attempt to prove that the painter Rembrandt also enjoyed the practice, claiming that it explained the golden tones in which paintings were suffused, and arguing that Rembrandt's picture "Bathsheba at Her Bath" originally depicted her urinating.
• Shirley Manson - Lead singer of the popular rock band Garbage. Was quoted in an interview as saying "I hate boys who are frightened of pee and shit and menstrual blood… I want a man who will let me pee in his belly button". The Garbage song "When I Grow Up" contains the lyrics "Happy Hours/Golden Showers"
• Annie Sprinkle - Multimedia performer and advocate for female sexual enjoyment. Her stage name is derived from her abilities with urination, notably the ability to turn herself into a human fountain.
• Ashley MacIsaac - Nova Scotian fiddler and singer. In 1996 he spoke with a Maclean's interviewer mentioning his sexual life, including his underage boyfriend and his taste for urolagnia. In 2003 he told an interviewer for the Montreal Mirror that he loves to have men urinate on him.
• Jim Norton - Comedian who frequently discusses his love of "yellow discipline," going so far as to name one of his CDs after the practice. His book, Happy Endings: Tales of a Meaty-Breasted Zilch, discusses, in great detail, his love of urolagnia, coprolagnia, and his love of prostitutes.

Alleged urophiliacs

• Adolf Hitler - German Nazi party leader. Otto Strasser, an ex-Nazi leader with a grudge against Hitler, claimed that Hitler had an incestuous relationship with his niece Geli Raubal, and that Geli had once told him that Hitler liked to have her crouch over his face naked, urinating on him. No other source exists for this claim.
• Ricky Martin - Singer. Gave an interview with Blender Magazine in which he stated that he enjoyed giving "Golden Showers" "Yellow Rainbows". After his remarks became public UNICEF where he was a goodwill spokesperson was reportedly unhappy and critics wanted him to resign from the Ricky Martin Foundation a children's advocacy group. In a letter in Spanish posted on Univision.com Martin said, "At the time I granted the interview, never did it cross my mind that my comments would spark this absurd and sensationalist public discussion. I cannot avoid speculation about my career and life, but I cannot allow those for whom my foundation works to be affected because I am a public figure."

• R. Kelly - R&B Singer, Songwriter and Producer. In 2002 a bootleg copy of a videotape was released to the Chicago Sun Times that showed an alleged Kelly engaging in many sexual acts, including urinating on a girl who is supposedly the daughter of an associate and niece of a former Kelly protege who was 14 years old at the time. It was announced that during his child pornography trial that the tape will be played in public court. Kelly’s attorneys haven’t conceded that he is on the tape, saying his likeness may have been computer generated. They have also tried to raise doubts about the identity and age of the girl. After many delays, the trial is scheduled to start on September 17, 2007.

• In the Canadian band The Hidden Cameras' song Golden Streams frontman and songwriter Joel Gibb appears to describe watersports. In the Hidden Cameras' live show for several years, yellow streamers were thrown into the audience to accompany the song. The song begins with what appears to be a description of the fear and discomfort the protagonist felt during a childhood episode of wetting himself on a cold winter's day, and ends in the triumphant recapture of the sensation in an adult homosexual context:

My golden wand waves down your golden rod

Our gold held high in sunny breezy sky
Then a stream of gold released from golden stone
erupts late at night and melts the winter ice

The golden streams
The golden streams

There are references to being urinated on in other Gibb songs from the same period. Nonetheless, in recent interviews, Gibb has claimed that Golden Streams actually "isn't really about anything sexual - it's about building an architectural device to get to heaven using frozen piss."
