Men peeing. Why so loud

77 replies

wishywashywoowoo70 · 17/02/2021 20:09

So I've tried Googling this with no luck.

My teenager pees really loudly. Straight into the water like a thoroughbred race horse.
You can hear him 2 rooms away

Are men meant to pee against the side or is this normal.

It might be me mind because I hate people hearing me pee.

I think you men answering here are thinking your genitals are far larger than they actually are 😂😂

My dh is a very reasonable size and his do not anywhere near touch the bowl or water 😂

Or maybe you just have bizarre shaped toilets that your genitals touch 😉

I bet they always catch huge fish when they go fishing as well Grin
They just have small low down toilets really Grin

Ive noticed that on hoiday in USA the water comes up really high in their toilet bowls, so I imagine dangling in water could take place if a man were to sit down!

aLilNonnyMouse · 18/02/2021 18:06

The "parts touching the water" complaint is usually from American men - the water level in their toilets is amazingly high, barely an inch from the top of the bowl.

I remember seeing in body worlds when sat a man's urethra "loops" down like a u bend and it can trap some urine until they stand up

If piss came out my nipples I wouldn't fancy hanging them near the bowl.

So essentially, blokes dicks have got rifling up the barrel.

That's actually quite interesting.

There's no dangling in water, they don't dangle that far down! It just tends to touch the front rim unless we sit back a bit. To lower the tone even further I've noticed men tend to get skidmarks down the back of the loo, whereas women tend to leave them at the front, just before the water. This suggests to me that women get the luxury of sitting a lot further forward than men do, because you don't have the worry of things touching.

I've also just realised that you don't have the problem of trying to pee with an erection. That decides it, it's no longer a draw. Men definately have it worse when it comes to urination

SimonJT · 18/02/2021 19:23

@likeamillpond

A mans urethra causes urine to ‘spiral’, this means urine leaves faster and in a more defined stream

Can you explain further?
I can't picture it. Confused

How about a diagram?

I was wrong, a google reveals the proper reason mens wee is in a steady stream.

“The urethral lumen runs effectively parallel to the penis, except at the narrowest point, the external urethral meatus, where it is vertical. This produces a spiral stream of urine and has the effect of cleaning the external urethral meatus.”

It depends on the toilet, toilets in North America and countries like Austria that have a ‘viewing platform’ are only around 1-2 inches from the rim before you would touch water/the bowl. Plus you have to sit very far back on a British toilet or your penis touches the front of the bowl if you don’t hold it.

This is all fascinating anatomical stuff. On the upside I assume it’s the sound of a healthy prostrate you’re hearing.

StrangerHereMyself · 18/02/2021 19:34

Aargh. I can spell prostate - but my iPhone refused to believe me.

addicted2spaniels · 18/02/2021 19:43

Since our cleaner at work stopped coming in, I've had to take on the cleaning (joys of running your own business). Twice a day, every day, I don my rubber gloves and anti bacterial cleaner. There are 5 men using a toilet, and it's beyond fecking disgusting. I put a note up on the door today saying that I am happy to clean and keep their workplace covid safe, but that doesn't extend to cleaning up sprayed urine. The womens.... completely different, and other than emptying the bin, and using the anti-bac, i don't have to "clean" anything.

Winningmoves · 18/02/2021 19:47

My teenagers pee has made it into one of my Teams calls. Shut the blaady door!

LadyCatStark · 18/02/2021 19:47

Oh god no, if they try to wee onto the porcelain, they’ll end up getting it everywhere! Far better to aim for the water, at least they have half a chance. DS’s en-suite is above the living room and it sounds like it’s going to rain down onto our heads 🤢.

VeniVidiWeeWee · 18/02/2021 20:32

Men can push urine out when standing as any 8 year old who has been in a "who can piss highest up the wall" contest knows.

VeniVidiWeeWee · 18/02/2021 20:33

Sorry should be SimonJT

wishywashywoowoo70 · 18/02/2021 22:26

Currently sat in the lounge. Between me and loo there is a kitchen a utility room and 2 closed doors.
I can still hear it loudly. FFS
I never hear DH ever

Once we ban anyone being called a man will these man bashing threads stop?

Eew - doesn’t that result in your arse getting splashed when you have a poo?
Annabell80 · 19/02/2021 11:51

My husband sometimes sits down but when he doesn't it's so loud. Luckily if doesn't fill me with rage, just wondered how he can make so much noise. Now I know!

therocinante · 19/02/2021 11:53

I can't believe people are calling their own family members disgusting because they can't piss in silence.

Madness. It's liquid hitting liquid, it will make noise. It's also a fucking bodily function you weirdos.

wellerhugs5 · 19/02/2021 11:59

@cortex10

I've recently had to remind DH to make sure the downstairs cloakroom door is fully closed to avoid background 'noise' when I'm on work zoom calls upstairs 😬
I've had to do this as I'm on work calls a fairly short distance away from our downstairs loo. Which is fine when anyone using the loo shuts the door. Hubby (who pees like a camel) frequently doesn't.
TheRhythmlessMan · 20/02/2021 12:16

😂 @therocinante
It's all fairly light hearted so don't stress

wishywashywoowoo70 · 20/02/2021 14:08

Another thing came up yesterday.

His Girlfriend came over yesterday. He came downstairs to pee. Presumably so she didn't hear him. That's amused me no end.
