Gents toilets

I know it sounds an odd one, by why do men still have to piss into what is basically a plumbed in bucket hanging from the wall?

Am I the only one who wants a little privacy when I pee?
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    I've not had any complaints about either the size of the ship or its motion.

    Fair enough, I just think its pretty scummy, especially when you think the urine produces an aerosol which hovers in the air.

    Nah, I'm all good there. I just can't piss at a urinal unless I'm hammered or reaching critical mass. Dunno why.

    I for one thank the heavens for urinals every time I'm out.

    There can be few worse things in life than needing to pee and having to queue for ages every single time you're in a busy public place (pub, concert, motorway service station, etc etc), like the ladies are forced to do.

    If I were a woman I wouldn't put out with it and demand urinals in the ladies'. It can be done, I've seen it on TV :p

    Convenience isn't it? Especially after a few pints you just want to whip it out and release. :thumb:

    Blokes pissing and missing in a normal toilet is scummy.

    When I'm out and see the girls in line for the toilets I understand why we're the superior sex,, it's because we evolved to do it standing up.

    Serioulsy though, a bit of a stink is worth it for the convenience and privacy doesn't even feature into my thoughts when I'm in my own little world of pleasure that relieving myself brings. :D

    I've always been baffled by the fact that men piss right next to each other

    That's because we're not afraid of our sexuality and have no problem exposing our genitals to each other :p

    A land with more marvels and monuments that defy description than any other. With manners and customs that in most ways are completely opposite to those of other peoples. Women go to the marketplace to sell goods, while men stay home to weave cloth; men carry loads on their heads, while women bear them on their shoulders and women urinate standing up, men sitting down.

    On Egypt - Herodotus "The Histories" - 5th Century BC

    I do the same thing :thumb:

    I just feel it's so absurd to queue for ages if there are empty stalls on the next door.

    Fair enough, it seems I'm the only one who finds the whole process fairly scummy. Granted its easy, and quick - but then wetting yourself has those advantages too.

    Quite.

    Someone at my work place where supposedly educated professionals do their daily grind seems to be incapable of directing piss into a bowl or lifting a seat, and instead thinks it's acceptable to just piss all over the loo seat in the cubicle. Fucking knob-end.

    I don't use them much myself, but I'm quite thankful for urinals for that reason, because if we didn't have them no doubt the cubical seats would be permanently covered.

    Although, on the aerosol line, I believe urinals are higher than toilet bowls, so you should get less aerosol effect from peeing into a urinal than you would from peeing into a toilet bowl from standing....

    A bar owner in Madrid, fed up with the inevitable pools of piss that can be found around a toilet seat due to blokes missing, put ping-pong balls in the toilets. Since then the amount of piss on the floor was reduced to almost nothing, as every bloke taking a leak would amuse himself by trying to hit the ball and making it roll on the water :D

    Amsterdam airport have painted flys on their urinals to help blokes with their aim. Its tragic really that some men still cant use a toilet properly.

    Saying that tho I went in a toilet in one place that had little rubber targets (looked like archery ones) in the urinals.

    I think I would have racked up a good score if someone was keeping count that night! :D

    I dont really mind the urinal as such, I just dont like using it with an audience. A urinal in a cubical would be fine, even without a door.

    Virtually all loos have cubicles - useful for people wanting to take a shit, but you can close the door and use them for a pee as well
