Society & Culture Why do you piss in the cubicles?

[Byron_Clanger]

I do it because I don't want anyone playing grab ass with me while I'm bleeding the lizard

 

[magic_johnson!]

I never do the urinal in thongs.

I agree. Alot.
Why can't more places install the individual urinals? Hate standing on the piss bars

 

[Macca19]

I get the stage fright but only if theres heaps of noise. I can piss fine with other blokes there but if everyones rowdy then I lose concentration.

Think ive only done a dump in a public toilet once in my life and that was because I was prairie doging for about 10 minutes and had the choice of that or laying a 2 foot long cable in my pants.

Also dont see the funny side of tools that piss over everything or decide to smear their shit over everything.

 

[Fire Storm]

I like the cubicles. Why the hell do I want to pee with other guys wangs hangin out either side of me? Trouble is, there are mens toilets, there are ladies toilets but there ain't no **** toilets.

And there should be. I just want a wang free urinal experience. Is that too much to ask for?

 

[blues4flag]

What constitutes a public toilet? Personally a fair few toilets at uni that I've become fond of.

 

[happy_eagle]

Have not used a urinal in years

 

[Gibbsy]

The 'G is the worst for packed urinals. You just want to get in and out of there as fast as you can. Also, the newer troughs with the metal grates where you put your feet on are much better. Older ones with just the tiles suck because you're just standing on other people's piss.

Either way I try to avoid public toilets as much as I can.

 

[fairdinkum]

I suffer sometimes from the stage-fright syndrome (does it have an official name?) and as such will always go for the cubicle when available. It's an annoying and potentially embarrassing thing to suffer from but generally no-one really notices/cares.

Not sure how many people get it, but it wouldn't be that many - so not sure what everyone else's excuse is.

'Paruresis'.

Meanwhile, the same condition but for #2 instead of #1 is 'parcopresis'.

Count me down as another sufferer of stage fright. Apparently it affects approximately 10% of the male population. I'm fine if I've got the toilet to myself, but as soon as someone else comes in I freeze up. Especially if they start talking. Sometimes if I'm really busting I'll use the urinal with mixed success, but other than that I don't really bother trying, I just use a cubical if it's open. A couple of my mates give me shit about it, but to be honest I don't care what they think - it's just pissing. I'm past the point of worrying about it, it's not that hard to deal with.

I've looked into what can be done about it - there's medication, hypnotherapy, but I'd avoid these as I'd be paranoid they'd give me no control over when I urinate. There's also exposure therapy where you basically put yourself into situations where you have to piss in urinals and train yourself to get used to it. There's also exercises you can do where you relax your sphincter muscle while you're trying to piss - kind of works. It's all between the ears, I think. I've basically conceded that there's nothing I can do about it and I'll be using the cubicals for the rest of my life.

I do envy guys who can just flop it out and piss at will. I sometimes think back to the scene in "We Were Soldiers" where the mortar gets red hot and they've all gotta piss on it to cool it down. I picture myself in the middle of battle in the Vietnam war standing there with my **** out looking like an idiot not being able to piss on the weapon. I'm a messed up unit, eh?

BTW, surprised to see so many guys owning up to it. There are more people out there with the same problem than I expected.

This made me genuinely lol.
I imagined* some guy standing there with his **** out, closing his eyes going "come on, come on, come on"

*Not graphically.

 

[Dan]

Surprised how many people are afflicted by the can't piss under pressure / stage fright issues.

I still recall my mate who has that same problem, lining up for over 30mins at the Big Day Out to do a piss in the cubicle. Meanwhile this chic walks into the mens, goes up to the trough, drop her pants, bends over with her arse pointed at the urinal and starts spraying it like a frickin cat.

When ya gotta go...ya gotta go.....

 

[TRAWP]

People who use cubicles are trying to hide there manhood, plain and simple.
Only time cubicles are okay to use is if the trough are all being used.

Though does everyone know the man law of using piss trough? Thats the real question. The amount of times I take a piss in a 10 man trough with no one in there and some dude decides its the right idea to use the one right next to me is amazing.

Edit: Also, how many of you limp wangs in here get stage fright? You all sound like a bunch of all boy school freaks...

 

[THRILLHO]

So, on the one hand, you deride people who aren't comfortable hanging their dick out around other people, then, in the very next paragraph you admit to being uncomfortable when someone uses a urinal right next to you?

Which is it?

No, not uncomfortable. Man law.
I dont give two fricks if every trough is full and some dude walks up beside me. But doing so when there is no one else there is weird.

 

[THRILLHO]

Why?

You're not trying to hide your manhood right?

 

[RU_]

No what he is saying is, if he is in there alone, and theres say 5 urinals free, why does the other guy have to come up and stand right next to him, why cant he use the one at the other end.

I understand that, it is weird when they stand next to you in an empty bathroom.

Glad someone understands Man Law.

Damn Straight.

 

[Poseidon]

How about STFU law? If I wanna cower away in the cubicle from all the throbbing man-meat around me then I'll do so, you freedom hater.

... I'm glad you have checked this.

 

[Poseidon]

Just a hunch.

 

[Brad Goodman]

However i will also admit for further humiliation purposes that i pee while sitting down 99% of the time.

This really should have gotten more attention than it did.

 

[TRAWP]

I think this thread highlighted how many feminine fans there is on BigFooty that probably have never played the game. Hence sitting to pee.

This is about the unspoken rule of respecting and not invading the "man bubble" in the absence of another option.

What is the man bubble?

Picture every guy as being inside an invisible bubble. When two men as close as possible to each other without there invisible bubbles touching there is just enough room for one person to stand or sit in between without shoulders touching.

When you are around a mates house and there is a 3 seater couch and one friend is sitting on the right side of the couch. When you sit down you will sit on the left side of the couch rather than the middle as doing so will be invading the man bubble without reason. Another mate walks in and there are two mates on the 3 seater couch but there is also a recliner available with a similar view of the game. That 3rd male will choose the recliner to not invade the man bubbles of the 2 on the couch without reason. A fourth male walks in and in the absence of another option sits in the middle of the couch invading the other 2 males bubbles because there was not a reasonable alternative in the circumstances and this is seen as acceptable.

Now picture a 3 person urinal. Two men walk in at the same time and stand at the left and right sides of the urinal (not one in the middle when there is room at the other side as this is an invasion of the man bubble without reason). A third man has walked in 2 seconds later. Where there are empty cubicals available that man chooses the cubicle as a viable alternative to invading the other mens bubbles with dicks out without reason. When there are no cubicles available that third man will clearly use the urinal invading the man bubble but in the absence of reasonable alternative this is acceptable.

It is like a subconcious set of manners and rules between men.

On the topic of Man law that made its way back into the thread^^^

I accidentally walked in on my best mate sitting down to pee about 2 years ago and he still gets shit about it hahaha
