Mens pissing pissing me off

[grannysmiff]

1. Men (even otherwise well mannered ones) piss in the street sometimes because theyre just absolutely dying or caught short. Why arent we allowed to do this? A woman squatting covered by a skirt or coat would have no less privacy.

So either its that theyre so non sacrificing they can't be fucked holding it in, or our society is skewed to think its unladylike fpr us.

1. Toilet paper - men dont wipe. Why? There are still going to be some drops left. Or why dont women not wipe? Whats the difference between a man shaking himself vaguely dry and a woman doing the same?

Ive been to many an off site toilet had had to drip dry myself.

1. Women are just as "allowed" as men. Fine in the middle of nowhere, grim in the city centre.

1. Wiping at home but not at a urinal is common (how could you wipe at a urinal? ).

Next.

how could you wipe at a urinal?

Depends how well you know the guy next to you.

Just gt a look from DH when I asked him if he wipes or shakes. Followed by an eyeroll and 'mumsnet?'

I may have once peed in the street, not in the middle of the main street or anything but down an alley. In my defence I was pregnant and it was a long walk to the nearest loo and I would have actually peed myself. I see blokes doing this so often though and they can't even use the pregnant excuse. One of the cities near me actually has a urinal that pops up in the middle of the street on weekend nights, so the problem MUST be widespread with men

Why arent we allowed to do this?

no-one is allowed to. Not men, not women.

I’d seriously worry about a bloke wiping his cock, in a similar vein to men who always sit down to pee.

German men sit down. Much more civilised. And less cleaning. Which is probably why, because I bet German men do half the housework. Michael Fassbender's half German, right?

DH wipes, because shaking is grim.

I've wee'd in a range of public places, mostly behind bushes. Always out of desperation when no loo available.

What a lovely thread

I once spent 9hrs (of a total 13 hrs!) sat in one place in a major traffic jam on the M40, have to say I peed by the road quite a number of times during those 9hrs. Need to use a bush or tree quite often when out with the dogs / search team too if no public loos available; not much option unless you give up searching for someone vulnerable to go find an often elusive public loo!

It’s not good for men’s bladder to sit and pee, they don’t empty it properly and can lead to infection and kidney issues.
Men giving it a little shake to get the last drop is more common than dabbing it with toilet paper. I’ve toilet trained a few and never encouraged using tp. Girls urethra is tucked inside the labia and the whole area gets wet and needs wiping really. Half the fun of toilet training little boys is getting them to pee on leaves mushrooms snails and car tires ;)

Dh dabs with toilet paper after apparently why am I sharing this and no one, man or woman should be pissing in the steeet.
I still have the absolute rage at some random stranger peeing on me at a concert about 12 years ago now, tightly packed together so couldn't really move, felt what I thought was water, turned around to "sorry love" wtaf

I've just asked.

DH laughed at the idea of a wipe. Pointed out it's practically impossible to wipe in public toilets.

He said he remembers being told that "more than 2 shakes is a wank".

Impossible to wipe at the urinal. No toilet paper handy. Nowhere to put it once it's used.

Sitting down (In public toilets) is a bad idea. Urinals generally means no queuing as they save on space.

(Sitting down to pee, I mean. I can't say I've ever thought it a bad idea to sit down to take a dump).

Never knew sitting to wee was bad news for a male!
My DS sits to wee, no idea why and has trouble with his bladder.
No doctor has ever mentioned his toilet habits but now I'm wondering if there's a link?

I bloody love mumsnet for these insights btw

Oh also...when at home men should 100% dab and not shake, bloody drops of piss all around the loo!? Gross!!

sharklovers obviously equates men sitting down to wee and using tissue as feminine behaviour.
People are weird.
Shark probably doesn't think boys should wear pink or like dolls either.

oh oh I was going to link research but it's the opposite...sitting is healthier than standing!

Dh sits down for a luxury wee occasionally .

He pisses in the street constantly and it makes me more jealous than disgusted because it is more socially acceptable for men so yes, I agree with you op.

I've had plenty of outdoor wees but it's not as easy as it is for men. I want a she wee thing!!

Wipe? Who the hell wipes after a wee?

And how the hell do these blokes sit down to see? If I sit down on a toilet (TMI alert) the end of my nob rats on the inside of the bowl!! No thanks.

To do a number two and avoid bowl touchage (Vom) I have to kind of push it back between my legs a bit with my fingers which would seriously restrict flow and I assume lead to the sort of bladder issues mentioned up thread.

In over forty years I have never heard of a man wiping after going for a wee.

Urine is actually sterile, so i am not really sure if the issue.

If you shake over the toilet, it goes in the toilet and, if there are any drops, you wipe them up. Simple really.

Wipe? Who the hell wipes after a wee?

Anyone who doesn't want to smell of piss after a couple of hours when the drips caught in their clothes have gone stale.

My DP dabs his with a bit of tissue afterwards

Oh, very relevant:
Woman still needs to pay fine for peeing in public in Amsterdam

Also this:
Urine is not sterile, and neither is the rest of you

Had no idea (some) men wipe when they urinated! I have a little boy and have never taught him to wipe ... should I?

should I?

No
