Gwynnie suggests spicing up your sex life… by peeing in the shower

If our Irish mammies (and years of childhood swimming lessons) have taught us anything, it's that peeing in the shower is an absolute no-go.

No matter how badly you might need to go, you will not sully your family's good name by letting loose in the communal wash area, right?

Well, if Gwyneth Paltrow's website Goop is anything to go by, your mammy is, and always has been, hell-bent on scuppering your sex life.

According to the lifestyle website, if you want the no-pants-dance to go off with a bang, it might be an idea to forego your standard toilet dash the next time nature calls.

The article, which was originally published last summer but is currently doing the rounds on social media again, reminds readers of the importance of the pelvic floor when it comes to sex, and urges us to strengthen it by squatting in the shower.

"Try peeing in the shower squatting down. When you squat to pee as opposed to sitting up straight on the toilet, you automatically engage your pelvic floor and it naturally stretches and tones," it explains.

"Because your urethra is pointed straight down in this position all you have to do is relax for urine to flow out easily – as opposed to sitting up straight and having to strain to empty your bladder."

Concluding the article with the position's benefits, it explains that "it's the key to great sex, a flat tummy, and the key to never laying in a supply of Depends."

We blanked it out last summer, but it looks like Twitter was only dying to remind us this week.

Thanks, Twitter.
