    Always preferred cubicles, if for no other reason than no splash back and getting to use a bit of jacks roll to dry myself off rather than shake it around like a lunatic and splash pish everywhere.

    I had a guy at work last week looked like he was trying to do the helicopter with it and he managed to splash the wall with a drop right in front of my face whilst I was standing at the next urinal! :eek:

    Never minded urinals. Ok, you walk in, place is busy and you play mental tetris to figure out how not to stand next to other guy. But it's kind of funny when you see guys queuing to get in the cubicles and half the urinals are free

    Some people like privacy. Some people have to take a sh1te and they aren't going to do it in a urinal!

    Do not think I have ever once used a urinal. I moved from Nappys to sitting on pottys and I have been sitting on toilets ever since. Never felt any compulsion to change.

    I had no idea this was a prevalent thing!

    Doesn't bother me; don't see any reason why it should either.
    Wouldn't go starting a conversation though- unless I was walloped.

    Yes. Always have since I was about 2. Can not think of a single reason not to. Your surprise seems to suggest you can?

    Apparently, in Germany men nearly always sit and pee so nothing unusual.

    Personally, as an Aussie I'm pretty much ok with whipping it out and peeing at will (especially in the garden as all Aussies are supposed to do).

    Which I wholly agree with. I just thought from the tone your post seemed to give off that you were surprised by this in some way. I can not think of a reason why so was curious what one might be.

    Because you dont have to drop your cacks?

    Because public toilet seats arent exactly clean?

    Because it's far quicker?

    Because it's one of the handier aspects to being a man?

    Because you're noy a woman?

    Can't go at a urinal, never could. Should probably get hypnotherapy or something but I just live with it.

    Ya never been 100% comfortable with it! I'm dreading the day I get married (if I ever) when I must take a leak and everybody or anybody I happen to meet in the jax will want a chat.
    Remember coming across a drunkard in the jax in a nightclub once, he started rambling to me, I got frustrated, couldn't pee, got pissed off (no pun intended) without being able to piss so told him to get lost I'm trying to piss here.
    Was fair proud of myself, luckily he didn't knife me or smack me in the head.

    I almost always sit down when I pee. Sometime when I do it standing it comes out in two different directions and I get some on the floor or toilet seat. Plus when I take a piss, its often accompanied by a bowel movement, so I can do both at the same time. There's no point in siting down and then standing back up again.

    I've heard that in certain parts of Australia the pubs have a kind of gutter system that runs under the bar, so you don't have to get up and walk to the jacks. You can just whip it out and pee while you drink your pint.

    I have never seen that as being an issue. Do you find it particularly difficult?

    Does not seem that relevant given women do just fine with them - as do I when the situation calls for a number 2 and as such being seated is a requirement. Nor am I aware of any significant studies showing a statistical difference in the health between men and women in general suggesting that this is not as relevant as you might think.

    I however -am- clean and a mere shake at a urinal has never seemed as hygenic to me as the oppertunity afforded by an extra waggle and wipe with toilet roll.
    o1s1n wrote: »

    I have never timed it but I can not imagine the difference being anything significant unless - as above - you have particularly difficult to operate trousers? Is there honestly a significant time differential between you opening your trousers enough to pop out the peeper and dropping them to knee height? If so I can only question your technique sir :) The only scenario I can envisage myself being in where urinals would be in any way significantly faster than sitting down would be while wearing Lederhosen or Dungarees. The former coming - I am informed - with an interesting Flap System to facilitate the standing pee-er.

    As above I am not seeing the conveinience factor at all.

    Relevance escaping me here. I base my choices and actions on who and what I am - not who and what I am not. I fail to see what women do - or do not do - as beign in any way relevant to what I do.

    No idea. Perhaps because the phrase "Well alrightly.... each to their own" is one I have only personally ever heard in the context of someone observing or hearing about a practise that took them aback in some way.

    Like for example when my scottish cousin was seen to add Ketchup to soup my brother reacted in a way that was almost verbatim the same. Until such time as we learned he puts it in EVERYTHING (including on occasion: coffee) and we just sort of got used to it over time :)

    Haha never heard of this but sort of doubt it somehow. Aussies are pretty relaxed about peeing but that's unhygienic in the extreme.

    In female toilets you would assume all of them sit down thus not pissing on the seat.

    Some men will go into the cubicle and just piss all over it. Or else dribble or spray a bit on it and not care. Surely you notice the seat is hardly as clean as the one in your house?

    My work is the worst, one urinal in the toilet on my floor and it's right next to the sink...

    A guy from our French office was visiting us one day and, legend has it, he mistook the sink in the jacks for the urinal.

    It's one of those ones you want to be true, but perhaps not when you give it some further thought ...

    Doesn't bother me in the slightest, i'll whip it out anywhere! No stage fright or any of that malarkey.
    I always thought it far stranger that women cram into cubicles together, what with the far greater need for knicker removal and what not. I always ask the missus what the other ones "hair do" was like, mainly just for the lols but also because i'm a dirt bag and sometimes wonder about these things!:D

    What I find strange about this is I've no problem getting naked in front of other guys when I'm at the gym or training, I just get on with it, but when it comes to using a urinal I just can't do it.
