And, 99% of the time, I avoid public men''s rooms like the plague. Straight men are gross. Pee in the urinal, not on the floor!

Aargh!!! I hate that. I feel like putting up a sign at work:

It''s not as long as you think. Please stand closer!

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

Winky flap? All this time, I thought that was a coin holder!

 

[megumic]

FI calls the fly part of underwear the "zipper" - not sure why since it doesn''t zip. Then we ended up in barrel laughs on the floor b/c he was taking about how when he stands at the urinal at work he can see into the stall from the reflection off the metal top part of the urinal -- so the "look forward only" law usually ends up with him watching some guy wipe his behind. Bahahahha!

As strange as this sounds I have had more than one in depth discussion about men and women bathroom etiquite in my life and almost all of them have been in a classroom setting. My favorite was the trans-gendered speaker we had in my women in psychology class. She was AWESOME. Apparently men''s bathrooms are cleaned once for every seven times that a women''s bathroom is. Maybe that''s why men have the need to get in, and get out... fast! I actually only missed the last question in the urinal game but in my defense there was no hover and wait for someone to leave option! And no, I am not a man. I''ll have to ask FI tomorrow what method he uses to pee. I do know that his dad taught him to point with his finger as he peed so that he''d have better aim! He still does it and as long as there is no pee left on my bathroom floor he can keep doing it as far as i''m concerned.

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!!''

omg - my kids want to know why I''m laughing bahahahahaha awesome!

DH calls it the Penis Flap but that''s because we have a 4 yr old boy who doesn''t want FLIES around his manhood.


DH also says he opens the fly of his boxers whenever he pees. BUT, if he were to wear briefs, he says it''s nearly impossible and completely uncomfortable to finagle it out the hole so he would do the pull-down method.



Wow. I can honestly say that I''ve never spent so much time or energy contemplating men peeing.



lol about the pickle!

Someone has to contemplate it.

So...

If it is ''nearly impossible... to finagle it out'' so guys (some? most? all?) use the ''pull-down method'' wouldn''t that leave them feeling kind of exposed in public restrooms?



As a side thought... what is it with men peeing in front of other men anyway?

You''d never find a woman doing that.

Not my experience - I''ve known lots of women to pee in front of one another, although OUR bits don''t really hang out in the same way... I also don''t know many men who care one way or another about exposing themselves in public lol

I wear briefs, aka tightie-whities, and unzip and unbuckle the pants and pull the front of the briefs down instead of using the fly.


(I never thought I''d encounter a thread on PS in which this revelation would be appropriate.)

LMAO kenny

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.

Maybe he was from a country that has a condom size issue and needed plenty of room to clear the clothing

I just want to say that the most attractive bathing suit type for a man IN SHAPE to me is the trunks. Not the speedo skin clinger types... and not the I''m so baggy you can''t tell if I have nice legs or not type... the old fashioned trunks that are short but not clingy at all. I should look for a picture

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.

No - it has NEVER crossed my mind to concern myself with peeing in front of other women, even in gay bars. Going to the bathroom and sexuality are mutually exclusive. That said, there are no reports that I know of of girl/girl sex going on in bathrooms - and certainly not to the extent that they had issues with it in the bath houses in men''s rooms. Maybe that''s where it came from?

 

[Cehrabehra]

Here in china I''m just getting used to the whole squat thing... a lot of places don''t even have toilet paper so you have to carry your own... some have it but only near the sinks so you have to get enough before you go in - which includes a little extra to wipe your shoes off after.

I will say that doing #2 in a woman''s bathroom is pretty much a no-no while I''ve heard it''s okay for men to do. You only do #2 in a woman''s bathroom if it isn''t an option. But it is harder to prevent said #2 when you''re in a squat. Bu hao. Of course in a chinese bathroom there are no rules - you can do it all.

Regarding men''s use of TP after micturating.

Do they or don''t they?

I have heard rumors...........

My husband used to but I don''t think he does anymore... I''ve tried to teach my boys but these days (8 & 10) I can barely get them to wipe at all let alone flush ::sigh::

I totally agree. It leaves something to the imagination and is super sexy IMO (as long as the man is in shape as you said).

I hate the speedo because it looks like the bottom of a woman''s bikini.

LOL I had a conversation about this with my dh a few years ago and he assures me he usually does use tp. What was difficult when we first got married was teaching him (as he grew up with 2 brothers and a dad and his mom didn't stand a chance regarding this issue) to put the damn toilet seat DOWN after use!!!

It took many months but it finally got through to him to put the seat down! He kept "forgetting"- well, after a few times of taping it down he started remembering

Well, I can tell you that the men''s restroom where I work is quite lovely. The stalls have dividers, it is well kept, and they do have a couple of things on the counter top. I don''t know what exactly because by the time I looked at the counter I realized I was in the wrong restroom and ran out of there but it was an ok place.

haha I should post the pic I took in the bathroom here at a rest stop, there were windows that you could just see in lol

I know gay guys who are slobs too.
Just saying . . .

I think if you had wrote, ''Gay men are gross'' you would have gotten in trouble; so I think here on a forum we probably should resist the temptation to put down any group, even dominant ones.

Thank you, Kenny, I was just about to point that out. One of my closest friends in the past was gay. Unfortunately, we grew apart and we haven''t spoken in years. Anyway, he was a great person, I loved him to bits, but the guy was a pig where toilet ettiquette was concerned. lol No one wanted to go in there after him.

Thankfully, DH is well trained and he even puts the toilet seat down.

So I guess you could say that some men are gross and leave it at that.

Btw, this thread is totally cracking me up!

I asked FI--he uses the winky flap (on boxer briefs) all the time, except in his pajama pants. He doesn''t understand why guys wouldn''t and suggested that perhaps those who report not using the flap are wearing elastic waist pants all the time.
FI also had a recent issue--we bought him new boxer briefs and they''ve changed the design and now his winky falls out the winky hole all the time. He threw away the underwear.
Hmm, I wonder if boxer briefs have a different fly/flap design than regular briefs?

 

[OUpearlgirl]

Cehra, kind of like these??

 

[Lula]

I have nothing to add, but I just want to say that this thread is almost as good as the "last day of PS 1.0 thread" (now gone) from a few weeks ago. Thank you all for the belly laughs!

 

[MissMina]

The yellow shorts fit perfectly. Nice length
not clingy or baggy AND worn at the natural
waistline as the Big Kahuna intended.

The red shorts warn low enough to expose the loins
are a turn off to me.
Hip huggers belong on girls.

This thread is hilarious!

I assign a norm violation paper in one of my classes. Someone always writes about urinal norms. I failed (with opportunity for revision) the first one I ever graded for failing to identify a norm because in my female worldview, you have to take your pants off to pee. The student contested. I asked my DH to verify and, after finding out that "pants on the ground" is the number 1 violation of guy law, adjusted the student''s grade. Years after the fact, I know far more about the men''s room than I ever cared to know.

Must make for some interesting reading.

Care to share some of the "norms" or norm violations?

 

[katamari]

Let''s see, some of the rules I have learned:

1. Never, ever look down.

2. No talking. No sound at all if you are in a stall.

3. No eating in the bathroom (I had a really good paper on this one once).

4. No taking pictures--a student almost got beat up for trying this one.

5. No team work (I had two students who stood back to back while one peed first and then the other).

6. No asking people to evaluate your work, especially post #2.

7. Must pull your pants up before moving to the sink.

8. No one will help you retrieve something from a used toilet if you lose it in there.

Most hilarious: Student who claimed to pee, aiming at the feet of the people in the next stall. I am not sure I believe they actually did it, but it was a good paper.

Okay okay, now.
I imagine some women could be gross too.

Equality!

Those are great.

Who would take a picture in a bathroom with other people??

Guys take pictures of their logs to share with others. There''s a website even!

Interesting...I have never once thought about another woman in the restroom being gay. Why do men wonder if other men are?

Oh, I agree wholeheartedly. I have some stories about women''s restroom that can make your hair stand on end, but... let''s not go there! lol
