This is one of the reasons why I don't understand how other men use urinals. Like how do you manage the absolute lack of privacy?? And I'm not even talking about hygiene (you don't use toilet paper when using a urinal)

Everybody shows up to do something specific and keeps their eyes on the road. Unless you drop your pants to your ankles or you're packing SERIOUS heat there's nothing to see anyway unless you're way out of your lane.

I find it MUCH weirder to take a dump in a "guest bathroom" that is a half bath with no fan or background noise and is next to the room where people are.

Also... unless it's your first time with a wang, I am perplexed by why you would need toilet paper. Presuming you wash your body regularly and you wash your hands when you're done it's not like you're dipping your fingers in the stream or putting it away wet.

It's just kinda funny we make men piss in troughs cock out side by side while women have always been given the dignity of a door. We really did just go "idk you guys are animals figure it out piss in this hole next to that other pissing guy"

Which is why I always stan a properly built gender neutral bathroom with floor to ceiling doors for everyone. Bliss. Pee in privacy, my toilet is my kingdom.

... we also have private rooms with toilets you know. How else do you think we go nr2? Shit in our hands and fling it around?

Urinals are just more convenient and quicker, and nobody forces you to use them.

You dont shit in your hand and fling it around? Aw man ive been doing it wrong this whole time

urinals are weird and no one likes them

not only that but there are no dividers between the urinals, which you would think as a completely basic necessity

the alternative is using a toilet that some animal could have nuked

[-] LwL@lemmy.world 1 points 46 minutes ago

Many urinals do have dividers. But also it's just not an issue, everyone is there for the same thing and no one is looking anywhere other than in front anyway. I very much like them because thet mean I don't have to touch a public toilet seat, plus they're the reason there's rarely a line on the men's bathroom.

[-] uniquethrowagay@feddit.org 5 points 11 hours ago

Urinals are so weird. I only use them if there is no free or reasonable clean stall. Sitting down to pee is in every way superior.

[-] ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago

Sitting down to do it isn't quite as fast since you're dropping drawers, and the seat can be a catastrophe that you'd rather not touch on occasion. Nonetheless we should pee as like.

When I was in boot camp for the Marine corps the rule was three to a urinal. And when we went out to the rifle range for a week or whatever, the toilets were just in a room, six toilets, not a wall in sight, in just a room. I was fortunately not piss shy, but they definitely force it out of you if you are. Fortunately, by the time we were at the range, privacy had stopped being a concern.

This was 2009 when boot camp was still segregated men and women.

[-] hefty4871@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 hours ago

the rule was three to a urinal.

How long does it take to piss? 60 seconds? Couldn't they just wait and go one after another?

[-] historicaldocuments@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Never served; don't know for sure.

It makes more sense when you consider that the point is to get rid of the psychological blocks that would keep you from being able to do your business as quickly as possible whereever possible under whatever circumstances. That three to a urinal thing is under a short time limit.

Read up on what snipers do.

[-] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, everything is counting down. They start with left sock, right sock, go from there. You have 60+ guys, they'd finish head calls in "100 seconds," and I put them in quote because it's a guy screaming backwards from 100 as fast as he can. And so the point is, yes, removing psychological blocks to certain behaviors, getting you to move fast all the time, and obey orders immediately. It's pretty effective.
