I rented a house in Germany when I lived there for a couple years, and for some reason, the owner decided to put a urinal in one of the bathrooms. I thought it was awesome having my own personal urinal, until I tried to use it while nude one day.
No matter what angle I peed at, I always felt a light misting of urine sprinkling my legs and feet. Nowhere was safe.
I realized, we don't really notice it in public because we're fully clothed. But use a urinal nude and you realize just how much misty backsplash there is. I don't use urinals anymore.
even with the toilet bowl i don't pee standing up anymore because i can feel drops flying to my feet. i pee sitting down or in the sink or in shower.
No shade at peeing sitting down or the shower, but the sink!
If you're going to pee in the sink, at least sit while doing it!
Must've been a badly shaped or indirectly positioned urinal. We had a urinal at home since I was 12 or something. Didn't have this issue. But if yours is messed up, try finding those rubber urinal mats. They dampen the stream.
Urinals are great; they save water.
In LA's Silver Lake, there used to be a gay bar that had a mirror above the trough urinal so you could look at anyone's dick while they were peeing. That's either your greatest fear or your greatest fantasy.
I don't have a problem peeing in front of other people almost all of the time. But I went to a bar once and the urinal was just a huge trough...and drunk dudes would literally just squeeze in between people to pee.
That was a bit disturbing, I got the job done but it wasn't easy. But your story reminded me of it.
Urinals are fantastic if you don't have stage fright. It's so quick and easy. The more of you waiting for the stalls the better, imo, so I support your recruitment effort.
Mainly because its more surfaces to touch.
I don't mind it so much on the way out because I'm washing my hands, but on the way in it's just feels icky because people are generally disgusting.
I have PTSD about stalls from when I walked into one that had been absolutely destroyed at a Walmart when I was like 4. Being in them stresses me out and that was a looooooong time ago.
As an AARP eligible man, I can confidently state that the age groups in this strip are inverted. It takes forever to pee now.
Me too but there are still guys in my age bracket the sound like firehoses, something I've never achieved (and def not in public). I envy those guys, must be a real joy to piss
Your comment made me think of a reddit post that I can't find anymore. The guy has an abnormally small urethra, so his muscles were working really hard to pee. Eventually he had to get surgery to widen his urethra, but his muscles remained strong due to having had to work so hard normally. So the dude said he was pissing like a firehouse and could easily pee from 6 feet away from a urinal.
Eventually his muscles returned to normal and he lost the ability. But he must have felt like Superman there for a little while.
This is why I always pee in the stall, I have the shyest bladder.
Lol I thought it was going to be someone walking in. "Ah I've got the bathroom all to myself, no issues" door creak "fuck"
I went through a phase in my late teens/early 20s where I had major bladder shyness. There were a few times in especially high pressure situations (e.g. right after a movie or during a break in a football game) where I just stood there for 30 seconds with no results and was like "welp I guess I'm just gonna have to hold it until I get home." I honestly don't think I had any major psychological shift, since I was and still am majorly anxious, but thankfully it waned over time and I can now piss in peace.
