Urinals

[leonidas]

I'm sure I'm not the only one to find this whole thing rather alarming.

Like public showering after sports as a teen, just completely what?!

I prefer a little privacy, honestly.

I cannot comment on how "alarming" or otherwise "this whole thing" (whatever it may or may not be) is, but I do wholeheartedly endorse your avowed desire for "privacy" - indeed, the more "privacy" of which you can avail yourself, the less we'll have to hear from you...

Your choice of thread topics has already been called into question by another member; who can be surprised at this in view of your present effort?

Best,

Alistair

Wow ahinton, just gtfo please. God damned nuisance. 

Back on topic. I agree. Being forced to get naked and shower with other dudes/your friends in fricken middle/high school is more than a bit weird... and they'd punish you didn't. WTF? Especially when the teacher was standing there checking everyone out to "make sure" they were taking one.

As far as urinals go, no problem if there is a divider inbetween mang, but those troughs... who the **** came up with that?

Wow you remind me of that uptight old man who lives around the corner who calls the police when my kids ball lands in his back yard and tried to have me arrested because I parked my hearse on the grass when I washed it. How about loosening up. This is the anything but piano area where things like this can be spoken about.

I have never understood the idea of public nudity. The last time I showered after gym class I had an older boy look down at my wang and make some comment about how it was big enough to satisfy a field mouse. At that point I decided that I would never shower at school again and I would rather get a failing grade than get naked in front of other guys. I am now a 32ish year old truck driver and I have noticed that there are a surprising number of new truck stops that don't have dividers between the "pecker checker stations"aka; urinals. As long as there are dividers I think a urinal is a good way to allow more men to relieve themselves in a smaller amount of space but I refuse to use a urinal with no divider. Why is it acceptable for men to pull out their genitals in front of other men but it is not acceptable for women to do it? I.E. Women have stalls and men get urinals.

Wow that was a lot of words for such an odd thread.

Showering with other guys after gym was fun...well certain guys were fun. As for the urinals - well, I'm not into golden showers, so I'd have to say privacy all the way on that one.

I think this varies by country.

I'm in Germany temporarily.  They do not seem to have the same taboos about public nudity and it is not unusual to see men and at times women by the side of the road relieving themselves.  There is nothing prurient involved, just a natural bodily function.  In the US you'd be arrested and added to the sex offenders list, prohibited from owning weapons or living within a mile of a school, etc. 

[ahinton]

Wow ahinton, just gtfo please.

Does your use of "please" lend your question an air of politeness, would you say?

 God damned nuisance.

Did He indeed? I take it that you believe in Him, then...

Best,

Alistair

[pianochick93]

I just have to say that most guys all have the same 'bits' and you aren't going to see anything you havn't seen befopre on yourself, so why is it so worrying?

[ahinton]

All sorts of things can remind all sorts of people of all sorts of things; that's their prerogative. For the record, I have very rarely called the police for anything and on the most recent occasion when I did so they took 4½ to turn up to check out my nearest neighbour's house following my report of a break-in and then asked me whether I thought that they ought to take fingerprints - so, as you may note, I don't have any especial confidence in "calling the police" in any case. I hope that you will not need you hearse in the near future, by thw way.

How about loosening up. This is the anything but piano area where things like this can be spoken about.

I know what area it is. How about you remembering that it was someone else rather than I who took the writer to task over his choice of thread topics?

Wow that was a lot of words for such an odd thread.

So even you think it's "odd", then?...

What is more alarming is that men bring their young children (Male AND FEMALE!) into the male change room at the gym 

Can you believe they actually had to put a sign up saying "NO FEMALE CHILDREN OVER THE AGE OF 8 YEARS ALLOWED IN THE MALE CHANGING ROOM" 

[timothy42b]

I think you're getting overexcited about nonessentials.

Our first night in a German hotel was an eye opener.  We did not understand that in general, bathing suits are optional at European pools.

After a while the kids got used to it.  They still wore suits even if they were the only ones in the pool dressed though. 

Funny thing, if you thing of nude swimming your mind may flash to swim suit models.  Not so.  Think weight watchers "Before" pictures.  Hee, hee.

The urinal is a work of high art  (Just ask Marcel Duchamp)

Then wait until you get home if you feel so damn exposed. The fact that you even put so much thought into this is quite alarming in itself. A urinal is something you pee in, and then you leave. Some might say that you're lucky to have something to pee in at all, much less have privacy.
Get over yourself and go pee.

But what's Oz for "urinal", though? Is it by chance "key wee place"?

I am now peeing on your lawn.

Thanks.

[ahinton]

Thanks.

Presumably because you have nothing better to do - which fact ought not to surprise anyone here; one might say that this gives a whole new meaning, in lawn maintenance terms, to the expression "feed and weed" - but then again one might rather not...

Best,

Alistair

I've decided I want a urinal in my house, just for me - it's convenient!

I have a friend who was having a bad night at the bar...  He went to the bathroom and some drunk beside him turned around to talk to somebody midstream and peed all over my friends leg.  A divider would've been nice then.

You probably have a small penis that you would not like your friends to see. 

[leonidas]

Wow, that's so true.

Tim,

Not sure if you were aiming this at me. I am living in England where it is forbidden for parents of a school to bring cameras to their childrens Christmas Nativity play. A country where a work colleague was questioned by police because he video taped his OWN grandkids playing on the beach...go figure

Could you consider rephrasing that for the avoidance of any possibile misinterpretation in the specific context of this thread?!...

I know; it's a great place, is it not?...

Greetings

In hopes that my ranting here will not go on for an extended period of time, since more than enough rant has already been fed to this little issue we have here, much to the disappointment of other members for that matter, I propose a quick and (hopefully) easy way of administering a possible answer-an answer for the sake of an answer and nothing more.

If you want privacy, then go pee in the confines of your home. (That premise unfortunately also houses the internet, and consequently your pee ends up there)

It seems to me that you cringe at the thought of revealing your ugly sides in front of people, yet you seem to have no difficulty in pissing directly at them.
