Peeing on an electric fence

[Cseriess (imported)]

Playing with electric fences was always a thing growing up. Holding someone and grabbing the fence, daring each other to pee on it. Hours of endless fun.

One of my neighbors finally gave in and put up an electric fence to keep the deer out of his garden. I haven't asked him if it was successful.

I believe "Mythbusters" did a segment on this. Their conclusion was that because the stream of urine breaks up in the air and is not continuous, it is almost impossible to get real a shock that way. Sounds like someone here has busted that myth-bust.

I'll volunteer to stand, legs apart shoulder length as some hot chick aims my junk at the electric fence as I'm taking a piss. Maybe we can make our own myth busting video for the internet?

Believe me, it is NOT only possible but has happened. Granted an electric fence won't electrocute you but you whill sure feel it. And if peeing, you don't think the pee will ever stop.

OK children... yes, it does happen.

Yes, I saw a friend of mine do it by accident once. It was terrible, the way he squealed and stiffened up, his head thrown back in that awful expression of pain and terror... and I'm not exaggerating! It was traumatic for all of us there.

Well, you guys are probably aroused by these storys, however, there was a sadly tragic incident in Merseyside (where I live!) a year ago:

A drunk urinated on a live railway track, and was electrocuted. So badly, in fact, he's dead.

:-\ Railway treed rail is often 600V DC. Is it any wonder he is dead?

A Ren and Stimpy episode had Stimpy and his cousin Olaf playing a game called "Don't Wizz On the Electric Fence", the song for which is at this moment stuck in my brain full-blown earworm-mode.

Ren wizzed on the game's electric fence.

As I recall, the result is not recommended.

All of this explanation of what it's like to pee on an electric fence is just a fancy way of phrasing the old Navy expression. "It will knock your dick in the dirt!" LOL

BTW, I touched an electric fence by accident when I was a child. After that I had no desire to feel what I felt in my hand/arm on any really sensitive part of my body!

[OneBallBoi (imported)]

My brother would grab my hand in a hurry and then pee on the electric fence. The Electricity would go thru him to me. I thought has being a real nice guy.. I was wrong. It hurt.

What happens if someone pees on an electric fence?

I tried to search for "pee electric fence" on Google, but couldn't find any actual accounts of people who had done that.

I find this thread "SHOCKING"!

[rogerwpbfl (imported)]

I can't believe any of this is true. It's gotta be grounded or something, no way peeing on an electric fence is gonna flow up your stream to your junk. Just my opinion.

[Cseriess (imported)]

Oh it does! Electric fences are notoriously hard to keep. Electricity is hard stuff to keep contained. It leaks to earth from the fence at any opportunity.

[Chesleyt (imported)]

when you pee on the fence you become the ground i grew up on a farm and have been shocked alot. i never peed on the fence but my little brother did and boy did he cry and stayed away from it.

[DonnyMac (imported)]

Mythbusters did an episode including this. Only if you are relatively close will you be shocked. Further away the stream is not continuous and will not conduct. Saw Racerboy posted similarly.

Pretty much anything will conduct the fence shock. As kids we d hold hands or touch someone to pass the shocks on to them as a gag.

[sparkey49 (imported)]

I have been shocked by my 100 mile 10,000 volt fence charger on accident and it will knock you flat! Make a 1200 pound horse jump really good.

Well, get out your camera, find an electric fence, and prove it!

[Paolo]

All right, Rog - I TRIPLE-dog dare you to find an electric fence, make sure it's on, whip out that monster snake, and let 'er fly!!!

I ve heard some wild stories about electricity doing odd things.

A cowboy pissing in a pasture and he gets struck by lightning that grounds through his piss stream and he loses one testicle and the use of his penis from the current passing through him.

Another on a football field, lightning strikes the goal post and shoots out countless mini bolts that knock all the players out instantly. They wake up on the field, not knowing what happened and all they could think to do was to run for their lives off the field as the audience tended to the wounded. The guy I talked to said he woke up, looked around, thought everyone else was dead near him. So he started running to get off the field, not even knowing what happened to him or anyone else. No one died but many went to the hospital with burns.

Ha! we run "mains" fences here 240 volts! Its the amps that get you. Most car ignition systems that would 'kick your ass' are only 70> 140k volts. Have bit my lip and smacked my elbow, head etc from a boot from them. Never piss on a bosch

[Paolo]

Bosch parts. hehe

@paulo and @losethem you guys sound way too willing to punish my junk?

In the off-chance there is something to this, I think a video to capture any damage may be smart. Maybe I could sell it to pay my hospital bill and afford a transplant for my double crisped bone.

So you deny saying that? I was simply stating that if you believe that, let's see you prove it!.
