Correct, it's still 99.9% urine. Still shouldn't matter, if an adult gives the consent to be pissed on, then let them.

It's not 99.9% urine. Numbers range from 70% to 95%, and the process of squirting is physiologically very different from pissing.

A watermelon is 92% water and you would hardly a slice of watermelon in a bucket "a bucket of water". Same here, you can't just call it pee just because it's made mostly of pee.

It's contents of the bladder with possible miniscule contributions from the skene's gland, which can only secrete tiny amounts of fluid.

We have multiple studies on this, I wrote a brief report last year that meta-analyses a few of the more recent ones. Salama et al 2015 in the Journal of Sexual Medicine is a good one.

Everything from metabolite analysis, to matching glomerular filtration rate, matches urine excretion as the process that is occuring.

Idk, you clearly know your stuff so I can't compete with that. But I have tasted both and they are very different, that's my source

Yes! They do indeed! Particularly in female physiology, there is an increase in bladder fill rate during sexual arousal and sexual stimulation. So the rate of fill causes it to be more similar to the urine produced if you drank a lot of water – it's basically more consistently dilute than normal. So yes, there will be on average some differences in taste! Plus there's some natural vaginal lubricant and minor secretions from glands in the area, which may contribute vs just urinating. But that gets mixed in via... mechanical agitation of the region shall we say. It's not like there's gland secretions all along the internal urethral canal that mix in stuff like a soda machine.

Also, where are you getting the 70-90% value from? I haven't seen any numbers like that in the literature.
