About women who can piss like a race horse?

I am not obsessed with weeing nor do I regularly take interest in other's toileting but I was set thinking today while I washed my hands in work toilets.

When I wee I can only describe it as a tinkle, a light 'hiss' if you like. It comes out in a orderly flow at a leisurely speed. Enough to have a sit and a ponder about life's many quandaries without getting too deep. Now, I have just gone for a wee and I timed it for the purposes of this thread and it took 1minute and 10.51 seconds. Yes I know it's odd to time a wee.

Back to hand washing in work toilets. I exited the cubicle and a woman came in and she had finished her wee and was out of the cubicle in the time it took me to wash and dry my hands... and I am not thorough.

Astonishing. But the main thing was the sheer power and force of the wee. It was like when you see a racehorse piss. Very noisy and all over in 10 seconds.

I can't fathom this. What's going on in the difference between wees? Most people seem to tinkle but them I'm astonished when a racehorse wee'er appears. I think I'm envious.

I'm quite a quick wee'er, will time the next one . Every so often though I have a never ending wee, just when it starts peetering off it picks up again , the stream lessens and then picks up again .

CaoNiMartacus · 15/06/2017 10:32

I can be pretty damn equine in my pissing. I think it's overdeveloped kegels from yoga (is that a thing even??)

I try to damp it down in public loos, though, as the force of it can often augur a fart.

Spudlet · 15/06/2017 10:33

I like a leisurely wee. I don't always get one of course. It all depends on whether someone else is in charge of the toddler. If he's in the bathroom, speed is if the essence as undoubtedly, he will be taking the opportunity to do naughty things while I'm incapacitated. Flushing the loo while I'm sitting on it or trying to poke things around the side of my legs (ahem) to post them down the bowl are both favourites. The wiping process is also entirely fascinating, leading to the odd, unseemly 'head down the loo to investigate thoroughly' attempt... racehorse wee-ing is a must in this situation.

So, if I get to go in alone (which I normally do in public loos, should I be out with company), I like to savour the moment. It's so peaceful Grin

Monkeybunkey · 15/06/2017 10:37

This thread made me need a wee! 10 seconds from start to finish and I'm more of a "hisser" than a racehorse. I always think someone with racehorse qualities has taken a funnel in with them!

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 15/06/2017 10:41

I'm a speedy pisser thanks to non existent bladder control - when I get the urge to go I have to hotfoot it to the nearest convenience and hoik my knickers down quickly because my bladder senses the toilet is close and doesn't want to hold on. It can be loud too. I have had occasions where I've been on the loo a bit longer (got a second wind so to speak) and needed to piss again to completely empty the bladder, but over a minute? Nah.

Rockhopper81 · 15/06/2017 10:41

I like this comparison to racehorse peeing - that's genuinely made me smile this morning!

I'm not sure where I fall on the scale of tinkling-to-gushing, I've never really thought that much about it. Although I admit to being quicker if I have the company of a nephew in the toilet, because they can't be trusted not to open doors and such. We generally have a conversation about me not having a willy - it's all highbrow conversation with the 3 year olds.

That being said, I have on occasion found myself genuinely laughing because I seem to be weeing forever - like a previous poster said, it slows down, then picks up again. Most bizarre!

Also, got to be honest - this is not what I thought I would be typing about on a Thursday morning. Yet it's strangely interesting...

BewtySkoolDropowt · 15/06/2017 10:42

You people that focus on how other people wee are weird.

And as for taking over a minute to wee - that must add up to a lot of time that would be better spent doing something more interesting if only you'd pee a bit faster...

CypriotDonkey · 15/06/2017 10:42

I am a racehorse, but I do drink a LOT of water! DH always calls out to me "shall I call a plumber? meaning is there a leak somewhere! Hmm

artycakemaker · 15/06/2017 10:43

I wee lightly and often. (Because I have poor pelvic floor muscles ad drink 3 litres of water a day and so wee about 4 times an hour.)

But this reminds me of the famous anecdote about Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe.

Miller brought Marilyn Monroe home to meet his mother. her NY apartment was tiny and the toilet was right next door to the kitchen. So Marilyn- being shy- when she went to the loo turned on the tap in the basin to cover the sound.

After she had left Miller asked his mother what he thought. Apparently Mrs Miller replied;'She's a lovely girl, Art, but she pisses like a horse '.

BattleaxeGalactica · 15/06/2017 10:44

Amazing that people can accurately time their wees. Who knew? Grin

I'm a cross between a racehorse and a princess. Plenty of tea (or beer Grin) and the floodgates open. Not had a drink for a while and taking a 'while I can' wee it's a ladylike stream a-flowing.

MrsOverTheRoad · 15/06/2017 10:45

Lol. I pee like thunder...it's fast and powerful! I don't know why though.

Maudlinmaud · 15/06/2017 10:46

For research purposes I've just been. I tried to force the stream/ flow but alas it was futile my pelvic floor is malfunctioning. Honestly I think that's the crux of the matter.

BewtySkoolDropowt · 15/06/2017 10:47

OK, apparently over a lifetime, people spend on average 2.7 years peeing.

If you take three times as long that's 7.1 years! Rather a racehorse than lose 5 years peeing...

(fact found on random website, cannot say if it is actually true)

plantsitter · 15/06/2017 10:47

You trickly wee-ers have inferior bladders, that's all.

I think if you can hold it longer it comes out faster when you finally open the floodgates.

TiggyD · 15/06/2017 10:48

I'm sure I read somewhere recently that the average time for a wee is 21 seconds - Yup. And it's not just humans. A study has said that all mammals over dog size take the same amount of time to wee. (Sure they couldn't have checked EVERY mammal, so there'll probably be exceptions. Narwhals? Camels?)

Slimthistime · 15/06/2017 10:50

um....I must be a racehorse.

always first out of the loo wondering what my mates are doing!

stuntcamel · 15/06/2017 10:52

We had a cat like this once - we could hear him peeing from the other end of the garden Grin

BertrandRussell · 15/06/2017 10:54

WhT I find depressing is the number of women who have been conditioned to think that their bodily functions are repulsive and have to be silent.

rizlett · 15/06/2017 10:56

My wee is of the whistling variety.... but not every time... only if it feels jaunty I guess.

Mulledwine1 · 15/06/2017 10:56

I had a wee that lasted 2m 8s once, in the services on the M54 at Telford. It had been building up. It wasn't a tinkle though, more racehorse in style. I swear there was 3 litres

I had a similar experience when I'd been in the car for a longish journey after drinking coffee. My stomach felt like a football by the time I finally got to the loo and it took me 2 mins 30 seconds!

Changebagsandgladrags · 15/06/2017 10:59

It's not repulsive that I'm worried about, it's someone standing outside with a stopwatch... Grin

ElleMcElle · 15/06/2017 10:59

This is my favourite thread ever and you are my new friend.

I am preggo, so my wee is incredible in terms of both strength (thoroughbred racehorse) and duration (easily over the minute mark). I don't know where it's all coming from!

PetalHead · 15/06/2017 11:00

Like some PPs I can do both. Big horse wee if I've had lots of cups of tea. Slow, tinkly wee at various other times. Also I've noticed that if I'm absolutely desperate for a wee and have a very over-full bladder, it will (frustratingly) only come out slowly - no idea why that is. So I've definitely done over-a-minute wees.

Many years ago I had a boss at work who would often have a poo in the cubicle toilet, totally recognisable because it always went "plop-plop-plop-plop-plop-plop-PLOP!" and then out she would come. She wasn't embarrassed at all but I was! So when I heard the telltale plops I'd hide in another cubicle.

SmartiesMakeMeNaughty · 15/06/2017 11:01

Oh dear. I piss like the onslaught of a biblical storm.
I have chronic migraines and dehydration is one of my triggers so am constantly necking water.
All the ladylike fairyland tinkling I hear in public toilets makes me feel quite self-conscious about my ear-splitting extreme weather wee.
This thread confirms that people in other cubicles are indeed judging my uncouth micturition, just as I feared.

PetalHead · 15/06/2017 11:01

Oh and speaking of pregnancy, after my c-section I had horrible water retention and my legs were like balloons. Then a few days later my body decided to get rid of it all. OMG the horse wees.
