Why is it okay for women to pee sitting down, but not men? |
|
It's cleaner when men bend their willies down in order to whizz! Unless the willie is erect, in which case peeing should be impossible or easier to do in the shower...

1. Never figured that one out |
|
Why stand when you can sit?
Seems kinda dumb to me.
Unless you're on a picnic or something.

Who says it ain't o.k.? Lots of men I know sit down on the job--especially tall ones who don't want to make a splash.:silly:

3. I read about an apartment complex in Germany.. |
|
where the radiators were right next to the toilet, and years of standing men led to the radiators getting rusty (ewww), and so the management made a rule against stand-up peeing. I think there was even a little sign with a sitter on it :-)

5. Serious question here... |
|
I actually stopped taking wizzes standing up (except at urinals or in really nasty public restrooms), and I think it's the hygenic/responsible thing to do. Just 'cuz we're lazy doesn't mean we need to make a mess of things.
Anyway, I have a one year old boy, and eventually we're gonna have to potty train him. What do I do??? I don't want to teach him something that will make him disfunctional in society (being unable to pee standing up), but I'd also like to teach him to be considerate.
Hmmmmm...

there's no reason why he can't use the toilet when he's in school to sit down and pee....
but teach him both---but be sure to emphasise AIM when standing, not just creating a stream that goes 'wherever'....
teach him sitting down and encourage him to do both, but stress to sit down at home, stand at school/urinals....

The manager of Kennedy airport is from the Netherlands and imported an idea from there; they have put a decal of a tiny black fly in each urinal near the drain. Apparently, men like to aim and it's been much cleaner there since the decals went on. :-)

If anyone is within earshot, I have a difficult time getting started.
Am I alone in this?

But I used to find it virtually impossible to let go when someone else was in the ladies' room-- I felt they were waiting with bated breath to hear me pee-- and I had performance anxiety.
Still happens occasionally, though nowhere as bad. . . I can usually overcome it by sticking my fingers in my ears.

16. Only if there is no stall door, and |
|
there is more than one guy waiting behind me.
Try flushing the urinal when you begin trying to pee. Keep flushing if you have to.

24. That's supposed to be some kind of psychological indicator |
|
I don't know exactly what it indicates, but it was on the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) test when I took it years ago. So that really freaked me out and made me even more pee-shy, thinking that I must be weird or something!
Nowadays it's just prostate trouble.

31. no, but I'm a stealth shitter |
|
Edited on Sat Sep-06-03 12:17 AM by DS1
probably just like most of you other guys out there. I don't wanna hear someone else's bodily functions, and I assume people don't want to hear mine. Besides, blowing out 2 feet of fart infested popcorn shit in a public area without anyone knowing can be a game. A game of stealth :evilgrin:
Count the times the door opens and closes, listen for flushes, footsteps, realize some fucker just shat next to you and walked out without washing his hands, the place is empty bbrrrraaapttt!! Ahh, wipe, wash, rinse, nobody's the wiser.
Unless of course it's matcom, then you say fuck it and shit your brains out because he's all about ass, and loves every minute of it. Right, Matt?

8. You get to pee outside. Comfortably. |
|
I'd love to pee standing up. And, if you're driving, as a (distant) acquaintance of mine showed me, you don't even have to stop to visit a restroom if you've got bottles.
Pee on the side of the road, in the forest, anywhere. Branches and ferns on your butt, not comfortable.

This is totally of the topic, but I've been wanting to tell you that the flashing thing you have as part of your sig is unkind to those who suffer from migraines. Flashing light can trigger migraines. I can't always read your posts, because I'm afraid of the strobe thing.
Just so you know.

21. Why give up our ability to get in and out of the bathroom so quickly? |
|
Ever wonder why women take so damn long? Because they have to sit and thus require stalls. I consider the standing wiz to be a evolutionary advantage - it gives us shorter lines and the ability to wait until we almost burst before we walk (stumble) away from the bar and go to the bathroom.

Why is it okay for men to pee all over half of the bathroom? And why is it okay for women to do 99.9 per cent of the cleaning up?

27. I think it is perfectly acceptable to pee sitting down. In fact if it were |
|
socially correct to do so, I would encourage men to do that when visiting my home. It's much more acceptable to me than cleaning the floor up from strange " I barely know this man" pee.

Period. I don't want to hear any more about men squatting to pee. Read your Men's handbook.

30. I pee sitting down for the last decades... |
|
and IIRC there are better things you can do with your dick than papering bathrooms with urine. There was a kind of struggle about this in Gemany during the last decades, but I guess the majority of the german man under the age of 40 are sitting right now. Feeling pissed off in Germany, Dirk
