why is it ok for Men to pee standing up but not Women?

[matcom]

its a CONSPIRACY i tells ya! :P

[Boudicea]

1. They do it in The Full Monty!

But I can't really figure out how.

[TrogL]

2. It can be done

Samuel R. Delaney's 'Dhalgren' has a description.

3. When I was a wee child of four my friend and I learned the hard way

We were playing in the yard and I had to take a leak, so I peed on the back wall of the garage. My friend saw this and said that it was cool that I didn't have to go inside to pee and asked if she could urinate on the wall too instead of going inside. I told her to go right ahead, but then she started to squat and I assumed that she must have been getting ready to take a crap. So I tell her that to pee at the wall you have to be standig up. She attempted standing urination and peed all over her jeans which were around her ankles. That is how we discovered that it is Ok for males to pee standing up but not Ok for females.

4. I would imagine...

it's because that women, unlike men, seem to object to urine running down their leg.
:P:P:P:P:P:P

5. Woman’s Guide on How to Pee Standing

Ya HAD ta ask.
An exerpt:
"When the original Woman’s Guide on How to Pee Standing was first created in 1997, we only had the “finger-assist” method, listed halfway down this page. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since then. We’ve had over three million visitors to the Guide, and thousands of women from all walks of life, from doctors to forest firefighters, to policewomen have sent us encouraging e-mail, sharing their mostly positive thoughts on this very personal topic.
During our first year on the web, we learned that many women wanted the pee standing option, but did not want to touch their inner labia or get their fingers wet in the process of urinating. Touching the inner labia, however, is a requirement for most women if they want the stream to go forward rather than straight down when using the device-free method.
To get the urine stream to go forward without touching the labia in most cases requires an assistive device of some kind."

8. It kinda scares me...

...that you knew where to find this information that quick.

:7

What other tidbits can you bestow on us?

[trof]

12. dupe thread

But the other one was about a year ago. That's when I found the site.
Google rules!

[TreasonousBastard]

26. Beat me to it.

This was worth a week's worth of discussion on a usenet group a while ago. I'm surprised more women don't know about it.

Makes for interesting pickup lines.

(It's good for quite profitable bar bets, too.)

6. Because We can!

7. some men pee sitting down

which is greatly appreciated by their wives who don't have to

1) worry about sitting on a toidy whose seat was not put down, therefore ending up with their butt square in the toilet water

2) worry about having to clean up pee off the bathroom floor because Mister Pees-Standing-Up can't aim worth shit. (Also pertains to not having to clean up pee on toilet seat, toilet, walls, bath-mat, side of tub, clock on the wall, etc)

It makes for niceness all around.

Plus if you're drunk, and both husband and wife have to go to the bathroom at the same time, husband can sit and pee, while wife sits on his lap and carefully aims (must be practiced to be perfect) between his legs and pees simultaneously.

This works very well when there's been a night of libations, only to get home and fight over who's going to go first, who has to pee worse, who's going to take the longest peeing, etc.....

:)

Ladies, it's worth training your men...I mean, encouraging your men to do this very simple task :)

9. On dual urination:

um...uh...we have 2 bathrooms.
If we didn't, I think I'd just step outside.
jeez
<blush>

[Heddi]

14. well we're apartment dwellers

with only one potty betwixt the both of us.

Usually not a problem, and I guess hubby *COULD* go outside, although we live 4 floors up adn I'm not sure our neighbors would enjoy us peeing from our balcony onto theirs.

I've suggested he pee in the potted plants we have if it came down to that, but then again, i'd hate for my plants to die if he started taking the habit of doing that :-P

[TrogL]

20. that's what sinks are for

it's good manners to wash out the kitchen sink afterwards.

[Bake]

13. There is a vastly simpler solution

When you get home after a night of libations and both have the urgent urge to go, the gentleman always allows the lady to have first shot at the toilet.

Then while she's doing that, the gentleman, of course, lets fly in the bathroom sink.

[Heddi]

16. our bathroom sink leaks

as does the kitchen.

ergo, no pee in sinks

Moldy water smell is bad enough....

[trof]

19. bathtub? shower?

There's ALWAYS some place.

[trof]

17. I wasn't gonna say it.

In college, on party nights, there were as many guys lined up at the sinks as at the urinals.

[kmla]

18. I agree w/ trof...

That dual peeing thing requires a gymnastic talent not possessed anyone in my household... I really don't think the practicing to be perfect part would be very much fun - not to mention nasty.

Ewwwww.

[Heddi]

21. well it only took one time to practice

then we got it down pat.

Although, since then, we try to use the bathroom BEFORE we leave where we're at instead of trying to sit on each other (while being very drunk, BTW) which usually ends in disaster b/c one's balance isn't as.......refined while inebriated as it is when one has not been on the drink :)

[trof]

22. I'm too old and creaky.

But it sounded kinda like fun to me.
Given a sufficient level of booze reduced inhibition.

[Pobeka]

25. I'm one of those guys...

It's a whole lot more sanitary from the splatter point of view. Who wants to walk in to the bathroom barefoot and use a toilet where god knows what is growing on the floor around the toilet?

Besides, it makes the toilet cleaning a lot quicker too.

If you are a single man, looking for a woman this is a plus on your side. At least, it was for me :-)

[Heddi]

27. it *IS* a plus

and the lack of pee-splatter not only makes it sanitary for others using the bathroom, but it also decreases the urinal smell that your bathroom will acquire if too much pee-splatter reaches places that you can't clean, or don't know have to be cleaned....

Nothing nastier than using someone's bathroom that smells like it should be in a football stadium instead of a house :yuck:

[Maple]

10. Oh fer.....

Make a V for Victory (or Peace) with your right hand...apply the V to the OUTER labia and squeeze gently.

Yes, it works, and no it's not messy.

11. You'd be surprised..

what a girl can do when stuck in a becalmed, headless sailboat in the Florida Straits for seven hours!

[Bake]

15. Why does a dog lick his balls?

BECAUSE HE CAN!

Bake

[RobertSeattle]

23. Just curious, but

Has anyone tabulated what Mammals can "lick themselves"? I've heard some extremely limber humans can.

[Heddi]

24. It can be done.

I've seen it done by a quite limber gentleman.

The only problem was, he didn't stop at the 'licking' part.....

that is something I *NEVER* wish to see again.....

[latebloomer]

28. Details, please!

I'm a little thick but I'm having trouble figuring out what else he might do!

[Heddi]

29. well for one

he...ahem..'finished' himself, if that makes it any clearer....

[ornotna]

30. Wrong!!!

'cause he knows he's gonna be licking your face next. :P
