Do you pee in front of your boyfriend?

Pssst....Do you pee in front of your significant other? My answer is no! My friends think I'm uptight because I'd never let a dude anywhere near the bathroom when I pee. I even run the water so you can't hear anything. And on the few times I've been in the bathroom when Alex pees, I dissolve into fits of giggles. I know, so immature. So tell me, dear readers, do you pee in front of your partner or keep the door closed? I am so curious!

Speaking of bathroom endeavors, after asking you what surprised you when you moved in together, three readers came back with very unexpected answers....

  • "I cannot poop while he is anywhere near me. I banish him to the bedroom or living room. It's like stage fright. If I hear something near the kitchen, I yell, 'I know you're in there and I'm not going!'" -- psuajblue (What do women really think about the restroom?)
  • "Hahahahaha, totally know what you mean. thankfully, our condo is 3 stories, and the bathrooms are on the top and bottom floor...he uses the downstairs one, and i use the upstairs one...but i'm totally the same way...if i hear him come upstairs, i'm like 'heeyyyy, whaddya doin'?'....'goooo awaaaay'....i'm...doing...my..makeup?...." -- daynya
  • "Hee, I totally feared the co-habitation pooping scenarios. As it turns out? We are both 12-year-old boys....We have two bathrooms, but they share a wall. Sometimes, disgustingly (but hilariously) I'll hear his voice floating through the wall, '...you poopin'? Me too!'" -- ladislow

Ha ha! So funny. And, my hilarious readers, let me know: To pee or not to pee? That is the question.

    It doesn't bother me to urinate in front of my boyfriend, but when it comes to a BM...no thank you. He cannot be around at all.

    Why does it matter? You share everything else! #1 and #2 are completely natural and, to quote the famous book, EVERYBODY POOPS. What's the big hang up? Your man isn't going to think less of you because you perform normal bodily functions. If he does, he has some serious problems of his own...

    Now when it comes to doing these things ON each other...well...THAT is pretty gross... :D

    well sometimes i will pee in front of him but only when he is doing something in the restroom and is going to take a long time.

    some people arent use to other guys around them so just take your time getting use to it. try something new

    I pee in front of my boyfriend all the time. For some reason, we have the best conversations when one of us is on the toilet :)

    I have no problem with it. When you're both in a rush in the morning to get to work and you're sharing the shower and the sink and everything else, why not? We just both head to the bathroom first thing in the morning and kind of dance around each other trying to get ready. It's pretty funny, actually! I could see some people getting self-conscious, though - nothing wrong with that.

    I leave the door open, but he can't see me. I usually don't usually drop a duece at home unless he's asleep, but that's just because of our schedules. On the weekend, however, when we're both home, I'll pick up my book and head for the bathroom with a wink and a "Catch on the flip side" thrown in as a joke. He thinks it's great that I can enjoy my poo as much as him. I will say though, if I hear him coming down the hall, I'll swing the door closed even if it's not all the way shut. I don't care if he hears me or even talking to him while I'm peeing, but I've got to keep the mystery of him not seeing me.
