And.  "Golden Shower", also known as "water sports" is a sexual fetish that is a subset of BDSM practices. It's a practice of urinating on your sexual partner during a sex act. The term "golden" is a euphemism about the yellow colour of urine. In this festish, some people may want to pee on their partner, in front or near them or may want to be peed on. There aren't any rules involved and completely depends on the consent of the people involved.

Is Golden Shower Safe?

Whether golden shower is safe or not depends on the way it's performed and to what extremities you take it. Depending on the health of your partner, the body part on which you are peed on and other sanitary conditions, you could expose yourself to infections and allergies if not done in the right way.

How to Perform Golden Shower Safely:

  • Don't expose urine to cuts or wounds on your body.

  • Be sure you or your partner doesn't have UTI.

  • You or your partner shouldn't aim for the eyes, nose, mouth or any bodily orifices or get any urine into them.

  • Make sure that you wash well after the activity.

How To Perform Golden Shower

  1. Have a conversation about it with your partner and in the given case where the two are quite young, it is very important to know what you're getting into.

  2. Once you have the consent, decide the place you guys want to perform the act. A shower would be a good place to start.

  3. Decide some rules if you want to and abide by it.

  4. Perform the peeing by keeping basic safety in mind.

You must keep in mind that there are chances the sex fetish could go wrong if you don't take consent or follow safety steps.
