Underwear Question

[somethingshiny]

DH says that in a public restroom "no matter what, your penis is out" so the pull-down method is really no different.

With boxers, you just unzip and let him fly out.

Also according to DH. There is a "man law" that states "When standing at a urinal, you must keep your eyes focused directly on the wall in front of you."

I just remembered...

I didn''t see it myself but someone at work once told me that saw a guy standing at the urinal with his pants and briefs down at his ankles.

He was from another country, where maybe that''s how they do it.

 

[joflier]

Ok, so if all the guys use the pull-down-flop-over method.......then WHY IS THE WINKY FLAP THERE TO START WITH??

 

[somethingshiny]

Perhaps that''s why Penn said some newer briefs are made without the fly??

So does this mean that men USED TO use the winky flap, but now they don''t? Some sort of evolutionary thing? We''ve become more efficient as a species???

SPOILER ALERT . . .








Initially you expect it won't be, but then you learn it is.
But I must say, open at your own risk.

Perhaps they''ve just become larger?
Better nutrition has made us taller, so maybe it extends to the nether regions?

The "fly" was probably quite useful if wearing full, long underwear and you were visiting an outhouse!. However, it is now the 21st century and we have moved on....no fly required in men''s briefs.

At my house it is called the ''pickle pocket''...

When my oldest daughters were 4, one of them decided she wanted to help me fold the laundry. She grabbed a pair of DH''s briefs, and stared very intently at the opening for a minute or two. Then she said (and I will quote word for word)

''This is daddy''s pickle pocket. He can put a whole pickle in there and when he gets hungry he can eat it. But wait, Daddy doesn''t like pickles. But you do Mommy! You can eat Daddy''s pickle!!''

*dies*

From Wikipedia:


Briefs often feature a fly - a covered opening on the front of the garment which allows for convenience at urinals. There are several different fly designs in common use, including but not limited to the standard vertical fly, the horizontal fly, and the y-front fly. The use of a fly is optional, and many styles do not utilize a fly at all.


History

Briefs were first sold on January 19, 1935 by Coopers, Inc., in Chicago, Illinois. They dubbed the new undergarment the "Jockey" because it offered a similar degree of support as the jockstrap (one style of which is also called Jock brief or Support briefs). Thirty-thousand pairs were sold within three months of their introduction. In North America, "Jockey shorts" or "Jockeys" is often used as a generic term for men''s briefs.

In the UK, briefs were first sold in 1938. Soon, shops were selling 3,000 briefs per week. They were so popular that in 1948, every member of the British Olympic team was given a free pair of briefs.

In Britain, the term "jockeys" has not caught on and briefs are often referred to as "Y-fronts". The term derives from the inverted Y-shape formed by the seams at the front of the underpants which purports to allow easy access to the penis for urination. The colloquialism is used even when the fly opening may differ in style, and not actually form the shape of the inverted letter "Y" fly on Cooper Jockey brand briefs.

In Australia, briefs are referred to as "jocks", but should not be confused with jockstraps (more specifically used by athletes) which expose the buttocks. Australians generally use the word briefs to refer to the bikini-style underwear for men, which do not have the Y-front opening.

In the United States, a slang term for briefs is "tighty-whiteys". This is due to their being tighter than boxer shorts, and generally white in color. It was originally meant to be degrading, but it is no longer considered a condescending remark, as many brief wearers also refer to them by this synonym.

In recent years, a hybrid called boxer briefs has become popular. Like boxers, they have short legs, but like briefs, they are made of elastic, snug-fitting material. A shorter version of boxer briefs are called trunks.

Also according to DH. There is a ''man law'' that states ''When standing at a urinal, you must keep your eyes focused directly on the wall in front of you.''

LOL! My DH agrees with this and said that if he enters the restroom and a urinal is being occupied, he must leave 1 urinal in btwn him and the other guy. He also said that conversation while peeing is strictly forbidden.

Lol, men...

Well they make longer pants so maybe they could just enlarge the flap...

You can also not take the urinal next to another man unless one is unavailable. And you definitely don''t check out the goods!!

LOL Travel Goddess!! Or maybe I am a man and have fooled you all! Muahahahaha!!!

 

[somethingshiny]

DH agrees. And also adds that if there are no dividers between urinals and every other one is already occupied, a man will go to the toilet as to not break the law. And apparently men have no problem with pooping in public restrooms.

Oh yes, this is a matter of grave concern, and guys NEVER talk in a bathroom. NEVER!

Straight men are terrified of being mistaken for being gay. TERRIFIED!!!

So, you think you know how to pee, do you? aka Urinal Protocol

 

[somethingshiny]

I took the test myself and missed two. I "coupled myself" in one question and the other one I didn''t want to answer to begin with but didn''t see a "hold it" option.

A local radio station has something like that too! Here''s their bathroom rules:

Article I - Bathroom Etiquette:

Section 1: No excessive or undue conversation in the restroom.

Section 2: Keep eyes forward whenever possible.

Section 3: Always close the stall door, even when going #1

Section 4: If you have an option, never use the urinal / Stall right next to a man who is already underway.

• Subsection A: At the gym, no man shall take the shower head next to another man, when none of the others are occupied.

Section 5: No phone conversations in a public restroom. Especially a hands free device
• Subsection A: Camera phone pictures are permitted.

Section 6: No man should ever take longer then 10 seconds looking in the mirror in a public bathroom.

Section 7: If you need to change in a public bathroom use the stall, and close the door.

Section 8: At no point should a man be laying around naked when there are only other men in the area, like in the locker room or sauna.

Section 9: Don''t touch a man while he is already "Underway"

Section 10: No man shall drop his pants and underwear to the ground while taking a leak.

Section 11: If you must destroy a Mens Room, keep the fan on when you leave.

Section 12: If you leave behind your DNA, YOU clean it up.

Section 13: Never shave naked in a gym bathroom.

Lol, men...

That is indeed a men''s room law. Find a spot directly in front of you and focus on it. Conversation is forbidden as well. Wait until you''re at the sink if you must.

Me personally... if the pants allow it, the belt stays buckled. The pickle can use either the "over the top" method, or the "around the corner" method. I would promptly vacate the men''s room if I saw anybody over 4 years old with their pants to the floor.

In case you ladies think it''s easy for us to use the men''s room, perhaps you need to try "The Urinal Game". I''d say it is work safe. It is absolutely true. Please, have no food or drink in your mouth when playing The Urinal Game. If that link doesn''t work, just google it. It''s mandatory man training and there are many links out there to it.

All lady, I just know men.

 

[kenny]

So do women have restroom anxiety related to fear of appearing lesbian?

I suspect not; only men are pigs.

I hear women hang out and chat in the ladies room; they even have couches.

 

[somethingshiny]

I just had to add for the men reading this thread. It's much harder to pick a stall in a women's restroom.

First you have to find one that is not disgusting.
Then you have to check the tp situation.

If either of the aforementioned fails, you'll not be happy.

Once you find a stall with an acceptable level of cleanliness and tp supply, you need to take into account any personal needs you may need to take care of and ensure that those are able to be completed in this stall.

After all of this, you have to decide if you're still staying in this particular stall when you realize the woman next to you has diarrhea and has announced that her stall is now out of tp.

While pregnant, you also have to make sure that you indeed FIT behind the door.

And then, when you finally get an acceptable toilet, you have to find the purse hanger which is often missing.

Now, you throw your bag over your shoulder, close the door and pray for a lock, line your seat (oh please God let there be the sanitation covers!), avoid purse dropping into potty as you hover to tinkle, do the shuffle while collecting tp, take care of your needs, stand up while still clinging to purse for dear life, get all of your clothes back in order, hand the woman next to you a wad of tp while holding your breath, flush with foot, duck when the water sprays up, open door around giant preggo belly, go to sink where you find no soap and no towels, do your best rinse and flail dry, hear a lady asking for someone to please turn on the water so she can go, accommodate said lady, use your butt to catch the door that someone else just opened and look left and right to exit the ladies room (because you never know who might be hanging around.) At this point, the man you're with asks why it takes so long for a woman to pee.



eta~ no lesbian anxiety for women. We give each other tp, tampons, diapers and hand sanitizer. We pull down the towel for the dripping-handed lady behind us and we hold the door with our foot so she doesn't have to touch it either.
