Summer is rapidly approaching...and for many Americans, that means beach season. But there is more to the beach season than sun, sand and fun. There is also danger and that danger can take many forms: melanoma, sharks, unsightly flab.

Now, thanks to the good folks at Charmin, a new survey shines a much needed light on yet another growing problem plaguing the beaches of this great land, though it is rarely discussed...perhaps because the implications are too traumatic. According to the Charmin Relief Project's "Don't Pee in the Sea" survey, two-thirds of beachgoers(62%) admit they urinate in the same waters where so many frolic.

And what's more, nearly half (48%) say they've done it more than once.

Shocking. Terrifying. And these numbers only reflect those brave enough to embrace the truth.

The question is "why?" Why do so many choose to relieve themselves in the ocean as opposed to making the journey across the scorching sands, over the sleeping homeless and into nearby beachfront lavatories?

62% ? i am shocked, i tell you.....just shocked !

[CGASMIA68]

Me too I would have though it was 100%
I thought thats what you were spoda do.Where do fish piss??

[gundog]

We get beach closures around here because of the sea lions crapping in the water. A little pee isn’t gonna matter.

[dfwgator]

As long as they don't pee in the pool.

[TexasGator]

More fun to do it from a 18’ boat rolling in 6’ waves.

...with a cold one in your hand

[Responsibility2nd]

What are the numbers of poopers?

Or do I not want to know?

[Vaquero]

whales, dophins, sharks, and every other denizen of the deep, craps, poos and ejaculates into the sea.....and I cant take a leak???

[FlingWingFlyer]

How the heck did you think it got salty? Not rocket science. LOL! OTOH: If people keep peeing in the oceans, the oceans are going to rise and flood New Yawk, Floriduh and the District of Corruption. Swimsuit warming.

[kingattax]

some people would do more than pee if they were in your example.

[rottndog]

New Study: 62% of beach goers admit to urinating in the water. 38% of beach goers lie about it.

[dfwgator]

Exactly. Every species in the water pees and defecates, but they think human pee is going to spoil everything.

[Gene Eric]

Well, that explains the salt.

[4yearlurker]

Oh no!! What’s next!? yellow Polar Bears!?

[autumnraine]

I have peed in the sea.

I suck.

[IronJack]

It’s a big ocean. I think it can handle it.

[Political Junkie Too]

...with a cold one in your hand

You mean a tall one, right? ;-)

Stay seated. Pee in a jar. Dump jar over side.

Because there aren't any beachfront lavatories?
