Men, why do you put up with urinals? - Page 2

It's quick and convenient. In fact, I'd wonder why women have to put up with using stalls all the time, which you have to sit on. You don't have to touch urinals at all. I know that when I was in Russia, if I had been a girl, I would have used public bathrooms a lot less...

From what I have heard, women only sit in their bathrooms at home. In all public bathroom usage, they perform a complex maneuver referred to as "the squat".

On an almost related note, does any man actually utilise the Y-front on their briefs, or the access opening on their boxers, or do we all just pull the elastic down like Avika (and myself)?

I do. I don't like having my balls squished by elastic.

I thought that was ammonia? Or is that NH4?

Nah, NH3 is sulphuric acid, the ammonium ion is HSO4+

heh heh. have you ever cooked using fresh hot chilis, and then forgotten to wash your hands before you get it out to uriinate? you'll only do that once.

True, I've heard of that. Still, not very comfortable, I imagine (whenever I use public toilets, I just lay down toilet paper over the seat)

did that. showered about 10 seconds later. They were Habaneros too...

it burns just to remember. Or is that my STD's?

I also used jalapenos, didn't wash my hands, and 4 hours later took out my contacts. That was a bad bad idea.

Or just leave it up at all times? Fulfills the criteria of equal treatement as well as being lazy-friendly..
*does not practise this anymore, but has been in a family who did*

EDIT:// (after reading the preceding post):

It seems we're talking different things to leave up/put down.. all I was familiar with is the "you lazy men always leave the [insert word for that thing on the very top, that kinda closes the whole thing, if you will] up!" discussion, I have been living with men for nearly all my life and none of them managed to close that, but I never encountered the, umm, well that oval ring thingy to be left up, as you seem to be talking about..

/confusion


okay, here's something for you. I have a friend who's into all this stuff and he says that when you leave the lid (not seat) up to flush, it's just like spraying the contents of the toilet all around because the flushing turns it all a slush in the air. he calls it "atomized slurry" (great expression) and says it ends up as an invisible cloud around he toilet when you flush.

"atomized slurry" - oooh, yum.

Or, in this thread, the 'hover maneuvre'. And most females I know do. Myself most certainly among them. I still thank my volleyball coach for all that upper leg muscle training, it helped me lots over the years.

@Beach Boys: Somebody mentioned this before..but it doesn't cease to be a truly disgusting thought.

funny that. I can still remember how bad it felt to to get fresh chili juice on myself. we were bbq'ing on the beach, so no shower. I had to retreat into the ocean and let somebody else finish the cooking. I'm real careful now with chilis.

did you have to throw out the contacts?

the water from the shower actually made the burning feel worse...I had to get properly lubed...er...soaped up to fix it. that part wasn't so bad. Aside from the burning.;)

and with me being the idiot I am, I figured I could just wash my contacts really well and it would be fine. I was wrong. I threw them out after I spent 5 minutes trying to peel the left one back out.

Electronic IR-sensor-triggered flush!

It's magic.

But, I find it creepy how the men's toilet is usually designed. They have the urinals right next to each other. No attempt to separate them, quite the opposite. When they do separate them with screens, the screen will always be so low that you'll have a perfect view to the next urinal.

yeah, sorry about the repetition. I didn't see that until after I posted and I'm too lazy to edit that out (well, with all the energy I use putting the seat and the lid down and washing my hands every time, I need to be lazy sometimes to maintain my guy status).

ever since my buddy told me about that, I can't get it out of my mind that it's like taking a shower in the intestinal wildlife of everybody who's used that toilet recently. if I didn't regularly swim in the stuff they dump off-shore I'd probably want to completely redesign toilets.

I don't know about how you shower and/or behave on a toilet, but I find showering with something and putting my ass on something two very different things. That is assuming that we agree that that "slush" only gets thrown into the air a couple of inches and lands on the seat, and doesn't spiral up anywhere close to where you are (should be) when flushing. I'm not sure whether I can assume that after re-reading your post, though.

I'm sorry I'm laughing, but I think I earned the right. if you think the shower water made it worse, want to guess what salt water did to mine? I ended up using this glycerine based skin protector on it. eventually it worked but it was bad. I didn't realize they also put alcohol in it till it was too late. I would've paid a shark to rip my penis off but they're like cops - you can't find one when you need one.

I'm not laughing about the contacts though. for that I'm all sympathy.

nah. my friend said it's like a 4 foot cloud or something. I suppose it depends on which kind of flushing action the toilet uses?

On the contrary. I know exactly how good we've got it. I get reminded every time I see a line at the women's restroom (though, since my dorm hall's bathrooms are "co-ed" that doesn't happen much anymore. Everybody has to use a stall. Good thing there aren't too many people).

The only downside is that our externally mounted sex organs are much more vulnerable.

No, it doesn't. Of course, I wear briefs, and they hold my gear in place, so that it's not dangling around while I move.

Yeah, right. I still wonder how you do the riding a bike thing..and I do remember the pained expression and the "oh my fucking god, my balls" repeated every other minute after some days when I went on a biking holiday with some male friends this summer..

but you dont have as many selections as we do:D

I bet it does get uncomfortable. I've heard women compare it to breasts, but thats not fair in my head for some reason. I think you guys got the short end of the stick when it comes to cumbersome bodyparts.

way too much innuendo in that last sentence

Which makes me think about how men's bikes are designed. They have the bar straight across, directly under them...looks like it is just a tragic accident waiting to happen. Why couldnt they make the bars at an angle like women's?

Boxer briefs rule any underwear selection.

I imagine boobs are heavier though, hopefully. (that leaves a lot of humor to the imagination) :D

That, and/or which kind of drug your friend uses.


he's OCD. he actually researches this kind of stuff. you have no idea how much time he spends reading up on his phobias. he's studied loads of stuff like the life cycles of ants (they freak him out), the patterns of how dust is carried in air and settles on furniture, the best kinds of disposable sterile wipes, and of course bacteria and viruses and how they spread. door knob contamination, hand-washing habits, the whole thing. he tried to tell me once about statistics on nose-picking and the spread of diseases and I had to stop him. he thinks I'm crazy for surfing and he can talk for an hour about how sewage gets dumped in the sea in different countries and from ocean-going freighters. if I go to his house I have to take an extra shower before I go because he doesn't want my "sea-shit" in his house. I sit on a disposable plastic sheet. and it just goes on and on. but he's a good guy, and a good friend.

he's a smart guy and very very meticulous, and I'd be surprised if he was too far off. I'd ask him for details now but then I'd have to listen to it all for ages.

oh yeah, and he doesn't use drugs because the people who make them are "bacteria laden", he says. he also figures that getting high would make him careless about protecting himself. I promise you that's never going to happen...

my doctor weighed mine once, to try to prove to me that I needed reduction, I was shocked at how much they actually weighed.

I still wonder about penises though, I asked my husband about 200 questions when we first got married, I think I annoyed him, but I wanted to know. He never did answer any of them to my satisfaction.......oh well, I will wait a few years and ask again.....maybe if I don't ask them all at once he won't be so over whelmed.

you probably could get away with making a thread here, something like "guys only please: tell me about penises" and I bet there are guys that'd answer you.

you're right not to want to imagine it that. I wish I could forget.


he reads all kinds of research journals especially on-line (reading printed ones means a whole ritual with spraying the pages with an alcohol mist, having a transparent shield in front of his face so he won't inhale "volatile poisons" in the ink (what I prefer to call "that cool just-printed smell"), and still wearing disposable gloves. he's got special arrangements with a number of science institutes to get their on-line libraries. there's no such thing as "some" facts with him. "some" isn't a concept. his shrink has him, and his few remaining friends including me, in some kind of therapeutic contract where he isn't supposed to talk about this stuff except to meet the immediate requirements of his self-protection strategies and we have to remind him. I keep thinking she has no idea what she's asking. one time I mentioned working on my car, and next thing, he went off on pollution, petroleum based poisons, statistics about accidents, and on and on, that made him sound like "rain man" and made me feel like I didn't want to live anymore. I got off lucky. another guy mentioned his stamp collection. you know, books full of bits of paper that people lick! that was hard. now when I'm there we have these long silences looking for safe topics.

okay, it's like this. I had an African American friend in elementary school (they were called black back then) and I asked her "do black people get hotter in the summer than white people because you know black absorbs heat?" and she said "I don't really remember the last time I was white, so I couldn't tell you"

see? it's a legitimate question, but she couldn't answer it from personal experience.

I have questions.

"does it hurt when you run?" (like my breasts hurt if I don't wear a sports bra)
"what happens if you are wearing an athletic cup and you get an erection?"
"is it heavier when you get an erection?"
"does it hurt to run naked with an erection?"

seriously I have like 200 of them. He just looked at me like I was crazy....hey I have been wondering about some of this since I was like 7.

besides, I have found out that my previous penis knowledge wasn't very good...did you know they can pee with an erection? my sex ed teacher said they couldn't, but they can....they do every single morning, I watched it ( I didn't believe it when he told me) they can pee with an erection?! (it's more difficult to aim though)

1) No.
2) It's uncomfortable, depending on size
3) Again, depends on size
4) Can't actually run, but I'd imagine not.

Yeah, I get that too, with me missing fingers since birth and people keeping asking questions that I can't answer, never having had it differently.

"does it hurt when you run?" (like my breasts hurt if I don't wear a sports bra)
I'd think it'd be the same concept, but only your upper body moves more than your crotch? Not that I'd know..
"is it heavier when you get an erection?"
It should, with all the blood rushing in, no?
"does it hurt to run naked with an erection?"
You know, I wondered about a related thing, that is, about how much it still wiggles around (so to speak) when you move your body with an erection. I never got quite sufficient an answer on that.

besides, I have found out that my previous penis knowledge wasn't very good...did you know they can pee with an erection?my sex ed teacher said they couldn't, but they can....they do every single morning, I watched it ( I didn't believe it when he told me) they can pee with an erection?!
Funny you should ask. I've been told the same, but then asked and had to be corrected by Fass of all people. Needless to say that I never watched him to it though, but I take his word.

I would believe just about anything Fass said without question. (shh don't tell)

but my husband on the other hand is an actor and likes to see what kind of crap he can make me believe, so if I really doubt something (and this was one of them since I had been told otherwise by a nurse) I make him prove it. He was kinda laughing the whole time we were talking about it so it was difficult for me to tell if he was kidding or if he thought it was funny that I believed that.

my last post was a bit too slow, so thanks for going ahead without me.

1. can't say I notice, except for once I had on brand new jeans that were just a little too tight, I'd just been pushed in the sea so they were soaked, and I went after the person that pushed me. but that was just friction. I think you're asking about bouncing around though. I've never been anywhere where I could be naked long enough to run naked for a long enough time to test it. I guess I wouldn't want to do a marathon, but in parts of the world like the African bush where men used to go around unsupported and they ran a lot it doesn't seem to be a problem, so maybe they got used to it.

2. I've never had a reason to get an erection while I was wearing a cup. I was always so busy trying to survive getting gang-tackled, or kicked, or something else, that I've never been aroused in a cup.

3. weighing an erect penis is a losing proposition. erection makes it defy gravity, so to speak. but it stands to reason that it would weigh more if not for that. erections are caused by blood vessels filling with blood. it's like, a balloon full of water weighs more than an empty balloon.

4. if I have an erection, chances are I'm not thinking about running. if I have to chase her, she's not interested, so I'm probably not either. ;)

and yeah, we can urinate with an erection, but it's not comfortable and I usually wait for it to go down a bit. your teacher was probably referring to the way the penis functions at first. when we're young, erections tend to make urination very difficult or impossible. this has the practical function of isolating the urethra during sexual arousal to prevent accidental release of urine (acidic, kills sperm) so the pre-ejaculatory lubricant can make the urethra safe for sperm to pass through. I think most guys when we're young find that really inconvenient ("morning wood") and just override it without worrying about the reason for it. it doesn't take long to loosen the muscular structure that controls that.

Me too. "What's it like to be in a wheelchair?" As opposed to what? I was born like this, so no basis for comparison.
Yeah. I'm never angry at them for it, though, it just seems hard for them to fathom that one could possibly not compare it to what they are used to. Look, it's infinitely hard for me to imagine anything concerning blindness, and I have to watch myself speaking very hard in order to not say/ask something that asmmues something a blind-from-birth person can't answer/relate to, as it's so naturla for me.
Plus, I'm glad enough when somebody gets around to ask instead of following that "uh hmm I'll not look/say/ask anything because she might get offended/hurt/not want to talk about it".

I would believe just about anything Fass said without question. (shh don't tell)
I wouldn't, it can in fact be a bad idea a lot of times, but I do swallow anything without doubt on any cock-related issues.

"does it hurt to run naked with an erection?"



sudden attack of logic. the erect penis is attached at the upper surface by ligaments connecting it to the pubis. since ligaments aren't that flexible, running would cause the erect penis to tug quite sharply on those ligaments. I'll guess that is gonna hurt at least after awhile.

tell you what, next time I have an erection, I'll try to remember to excuse myself and do some jumping jacks. I don't know how I'll explain it to my lady, but she knows I'm crazy so maybe I won't have to.

of course the real problem is how to keep him fully erect for long enough to give it a fair test. I can't imagine staying hard enough to really check it out while doing jumping jacks.

(it's more difficult to aim though)


You may have to stand on your head to get the stream into the toilet,however.

And-if you have sex the night before-when you go to pee in the morning,and take careful aim into the toilet, it can sometimes stray wildly and go into the bathtub or hamper.

What am I supposed to do again? If it's just the running with a stiffie thing, been there, done that. In boxer-briefs not that much of a problem. Even in boxers, as long as you are positioned properly, there is enough support for it to not be painful. Plus, it goes away quickly. It's not just going to stay hard for no reason. Now, theoretically, if I was jogging naked, and was following Jessica Alba, I may have a semi the whole time, but it's just not going to stay rock solid on thought, it needs personal attention. And I don't see how I could "take care of myself" while jogging without giving it support. I would be holding it, so it wouldn't be bouncing, see my point?

the original question was about running naked with an erection. and what you're saying about not "staying rock solid on thought" is what I tried to say earlier, but Smunkeeville seems pretty sure she can take care of that problem for her husband, and I choose to believe her, in the absence of contrary evidence. but if I were her neighbor, I'd have the fire department on speed dial the night she does it.

neither. because I didn't want you to become the butt of someone else's joke. totally irrational, I know, and archaic. I'm just ... old.

and I've never gotten sexual pleasure yet out of surfing or any of the other sports I practice, but I'm considered pretty good in about 6 of them, or out of being a paramedic, but I've been shift super for 5 years. so no, I don't suppose I'm all that motivated by orgasm-hunting.

You can never sit on it long enough for it to 'go to sleep,' because if you sit or lay on it like that it would hurt like all get out. Plus, as cool as that would be, we're not elephants, they aren't prehensial. Up or down, that's all they got, so it can't really 'go to sleep' in that manner.

can't say I've ever experienced it. I think the problem would be that the blood supply is so abundant, and the penis is either too hard to constrict or too soft and pliable to successfully cut off. arms and legs are soft vascularized tissue surrounding bone, so you can compress the primary artery against the bone and cut off blood supply. presto, pins and needles. a penis just isn't like that. it tends to slip or roll out of any position that could potentially do that.

Not that I am aware of. There are no bones for nerves or blood vessels to get pinned against. Also, too sensitive an area to not notice a "weird position". If a nipple was pinned between two books, for instance, would you not notice it?

I did lose all feeling in it once though. There was a sharp pain, a loss of feeling, and a frantic and rapid trip to the ER. Not my favorite moment.

sudden recollection: some years ago we were called out to somebody who claimed he was experimenting with an erectile aid called a vacuum pump - the important thing to know here is that it uses a partial vacuum to force the penis to become engorged, and then you use a constricting ring around the base to prevent the blood from leaving again. somehow he managed to lose this ring so he used an ordinary rubber band. he got this entangled in hair and he found it too painful to remove the rubber band. he also somehow managed to constrict his penis without an erection. he did complain of loss of feeling - it "fell asleep".

we always assumed he wasn't telling us what really went on, but it wasn't our business to push him. we cut the rubber band off, and stepped back as he began to scream. if you don't have a penis you can't even imagine what pins and needles would be like there.

so yes, I guess you can do it, but apparently you have to really work at it, or be very stupid.

Yeah, given the choice I'll take sensitive balls. I can avoid getting nailed and no one questions it, I don't have a biological predilection for voluntarily going through that kind of pain.

And, you know, I can pee standing up. It's good being a dude.

Does having been bitten heartily into a tit by a horse count, too? I guess it's nowhere near as painful as kids, but still very unpretty indeed. And no, don't ask.

okay, it's like this. I had an African American friend in elementary school (they were called black back then) and I asked her "do black people get hotter in the summer than white people because you know black absorbs heat?" and she said "I don't really remember the last time I was white, so I couldn't tell you"

see? it's a legitimate question, but she couldn't answer it from personal experience.

I have questions.

"does it hurt when you run?" (like my breasts hurt if I don't wear a sports bra)
"what happens if you are wearing an athletic cup and you get an erection?"
"is it heavier when you get an erection?"
"does it hurt to run naked with an erection?"

seriously I have like 200 of them. He just looked at me like I was crazy....hey I have been wondering about some of this since I was like 7.

besides, I have found out that my previous penis knowledge wasn't very good...did you know they can pee with an erection? my sex ed teacher said they couldn't, but they can....they do every single morning, I watched it ( I didn't believe it when he told me) they can pee with an erection?! (it's more difficult to aim though)
running can hurt. I have vowed never to run in boxers again. they tend to ride up alot and get really uncomfortable. Also, if you're running long distances, then you get chafing. Not pleasant.
getting a hardon in a cup would depend on the size of the cup. If it was small, then I would imagine it would be quite uncomfortable (take a popsicle stick and try to fold it in half. This will illustrate my point)
I would assume it gets heavier, but it also levitates. And let's face it, that's just cool.
It does hurt to run with an erection (let's not even get into this story). But there is a saving grace. Because you are running, the muscles you are using need blood, and so the erection goes down.

And as far as I've ever experienced, penises don't fall asleep. and we do get erections for little or no reason at times. Really, all it takes is a gentle spring breeze.

turns out jumping jacks are slightly uncomfortable, but not really painful, however, my husband has a very high tolerance for pain (crohns) so they could actually be painful and he just doesn't realize it.

I guess it would depend how you were accomodated. If you were wearing tight jeans, I'd imagine it might rub some, maybe.


"what happens if you are wearing an athletic cup and you get an erection?"

Not one I can answer, not being the 'sporting' type.


"is it heavier when you get an erection?"

Yes.


"does it hurt to run naked with an erection?"

Nah, NH3 is sulphuric acid, the ammonium ion is HSO4+
Good god, someone please tell me this is the cumination of some very sarcastic ripping with chemistry.

Nitric acid is HNO3, which deprotonates fully in solution to form nitrate NO3(-) and H(+). Ammonia is NH3 Ammonium ions which partially accepts H(+) from water to form ammonium ions NH4(+) and OH(-). Sulphuric acid is H2SO4, which deprotonates twice in solution to form SO4(2-) and 2H(+).

Knowing names of stuff is fairly basic chemistry. Sorry if it sounds like a rant, but calling NH3 sulphuric acid is really beyond the pail. It doesn't even contain sulphur.


Also, no it doesn't hurt to run with an erection. Not to go into too much detail, but it was a long way between my bedroom and the bathroom if I forgot the tissues. ¬_¬

Are men somehow inherently less modest than women? Do you only get to occupy a stall if you really mean business? Frankly, even if I were a man, I wouldn't want to whip it out in plain view (shielded by the narrow urinal wall) to take a leak. And how often is a public bathroom full up anyway, that the issue of space becomes a priority? I mean, some guys say that the urinals make bathroom trips shorter, because you don't have to wait for a stall, and they can fit more urinals in than stalls. But come on. Is that it? So why? Do you LIKE pissing in front of other men? No Fass, you don't get to answer.

Well, after a couple of beers, it's really a lot easyer to just zip your fly open and let it go.

We men go to the bogs on our own anyway. Women need the privacy because they go in groups (you know it's true!).

In any case, it's not in plain view because nobody looks. And unless you have splashback (like in our gross school toilets) it's far quicker and easier. Especially when you're pissed.

I go to the stall anyway. After one too many men glancing over at my dick or trying to initiate small talk while I'm pissing, I decided the small amount of time saved isn't worth the uncomfortable situations that occasionally occur.

I do not want to hear about the weather. I do not want to hear about a stranger's girlfriend. I don't want an insecure man sneaking peeks at my dick to compare his size to mine. Screw urinals.

If we assume that it is, in fact, the computer that is the subbie, then that means we are forced to the unfortunate conclusion that you are just addicted to toilet and penis threads...

that's no answer, it's a smokescreen. let's get them to tell us what they really get up to.

It's rather obvious and uninteresting. Talk and share stuff if necessary. Also, some deal/ingest drugs.

More hygienic? Have you ever looked closely at them? There's usually piss everywhere. I can't understand how guys can have such dreadful aim - it certainly lends credence to the female barb about men being lousy lovers. Let's face it: If we can't get it into a hole that big in a well-lit room...well, you can guess the rest.
You don't have to touch the urinal, or the wall and floor around it.

Any man who uses a urinal is, in my opinion, disgusting. HAY EVERYBODY LOOK AT MY WANG ISN'T IT AWESOME???? Yuck. This is why I hate men.

You hate yourself? This is silly. If you've ever noticed, most men makle every effort to conceal their penis while using a urinal. I've never seen a toilet exhibitionist.

Exactly. It's a convience-speed thing. Why make some big issue about it? Hell, there are little tubes that women can buy to enable them to use urinals. I don't see why it should be any sort of deal at all. Period.

You don't even need the tube. There are woman who just piss standing up. Some can do it hands free and some have to spread themselves like they are throwing a split fingered fastball.

It's really convenient and you don't have to sit on a public bathroom seat and wonder if you're going to catch something nasty. And if I was pissing in front of a other men, really they'd have to be hanging out in the urinal. :) But, yes there is an unspoken guy code not to talk to each other or have sword fights while using a urinal. Such things should not be done. Most guys try really hard not to look at each other or make small talk in the bathroom. Apparently it's a bit different than the woman's bathroom where at any moment a round table discussion could break out....

Takes the same amount of time...but I don't like to be in the bathroom when there's all the stalls filled with other people taking a massive dump and farting enough gas to make a farm smell like a fresh breeze of air from a beautiful flower filled meadow!

Read back over what you wrote. Emphasis on the final word. Why does a woman want a tube? I've never tried to attach one, but, well, there wouldn't be much to attach it to, lets just say... :rolleyes:
