Do you think it’s time to ditch urinals…?

Question

Such a weird concept guys just getting there dicks out and peeing in front of each other… I think we’ve progressed far enough as a society to leave this behaviour for the back fence at a party.

Realistic07 · Accepted Answer

So would the male dominant opposite argument also be fair in saying hey let’s get rid of all the stalls there’s no need for dividers.

I don’t know what image you’re using, but those are the worst urinals ever, and in Most, yet not all places in America there are things known as dividers that’s separate all urinals. Some dividers are enclosed spaces for making number two, and or in the female gender both.

Moreover it is Illegal in some states for any establishment in said state to not make their facilities absolutely private for their patrons. A facility can be temporally shut down, and/
or sued for said non-action of putting up a divider, and or creating privacy for their patrons.

Im almost certain either the image you’re using is extremely aged, it is from another country than my own, is highly edited, or comes from a very select few states that don’t have Public privacy laws in that manner.

That said if any of those four things apply then “for the love of God people just put up dividers!” It’s a pretty simple get.

All said no guys typically don’t like looking at each other’s penises, and even if the urinals didn’t have dividers trust me there’s nothing interesting down there for us. Even if one is homosexual or otherwise most of the time I’m guessing they're not looking at every single penis around them; because at one point or another just as a human being it’s gotta be uncomfortable.

In other words don’t be sexist that’s rude, and I do understand that you don’t have a penis, and that you are unsure about how that dynamic works. Well guess what I don’t have a vagina, but I damn sure know how it works. I’m not over here chanting hey let’s take away all the regular toilets, and only leave stalls, and holes in the ground.

It’s called research, and yes if you dedicate any amount of time to it it will probably answer a lot of your questions. It’s definitely a lot better than ignorance whether it’s against men or against women, and frankly I’m not down for either.

In addition Make up stations, couches, easy to access dispensers, Hell The women in my family talk about how in the female restroom they were using one time had a maître d’ giving massages.
Leave our damn urinals alone!
Fuck it’s basically the only severance of comfort we have in that room. We already hate having to piss around each other.

Hell if I had a damn choice I’d have my own personal room that pops out of my pocket, is completely collapsible, lockable, and can convert the waist instantly into bio fuel that can be both used to run something, or as a nice fertilizer.
I guess we all have pipe dreams 🤔.
🤣😂🤣

For real though we don’t have as much as you have in that particular realm of society at large so leave it be; because like I was getting at is kind of stupid to have just a hole in the ground isn’t it.

Well that’s my opinion, and my two cents in it hopefully it was comical, educating, forthright for all genders, and ultimately fun to read.
I wish no I’ll will, and that ultimately that you live a happy life that finds you truly with peace both in mind and in heart.

Your profile pic😂😂😂 I saw the tiny silhouette and was like “wait…is she…? YUP💀💀💀” lmfao

Anyway, I kind of like urinals. I don’t know why it feels quicker than a traditional toilet in a stall, but it does, haha. We do have a “code” about leaving at least a one-urinal gap between the next guy, you only go side by side when absolutely necessary.

I’m old enough to remember troughs at the sports arenas in my area. I think that’s more the vibe you’re describing, where we just all whip out and you just know to keep your eyes on your own work. It was pretty traumatizing for me as a young child though, because my head was about waist-high on an adult, so…. pretty horrific scene😱😱😱

I think the other thing is that nobody likes to touch public toilets, putting the seat up/down is kinda foul, and I figure most dudes are just savages and won’t touch the seat in the first place and just piss all over it lmao.

I think for sanitary purposes, dudes need these in public.

I asked this type of question before. And the majority pf men said they were uncomfortable.

purplepoppy · Accepted Answer

No because it allows men to compare dick sizes and reduces those questions on GAG

Kaamraj · Answer

I think women will not understand the concept and necessity of having urinals and the unwritten rules associated with it. If there are three urinals and one man enters then he can use any one, but mostly chooses one at the extreme end, if another man enters then he will use the urinal which is at least one urinal away from the other guy, if another man enters then he can either wait for one urinal to get free or if he's in a hurry or his bladder is absolutely full then he can use the one adjacent to another urinal being used. If a man enters and all urinals are in use then he can use a stall, if all stalls are also full then there is a line then he can politely request could he please use the urinal because he is in discomfort or in a hurry and 99% of the time men would understand. It is all common sense.

Regarding your question of seeing another man's penis, you usually can't unless you are standing very far from the urinal or the barriers are very small or broken. And another unwritten rule stipulates that while urinating you must look forwards and only look down the zip up your pants as not to run your zip through your penis.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

No it’s not.

there is a fairly substantial cost around water usage in rest rooms.

toilets flushing, urinals flushing.

A move to waterless or more controlled flow of flushing can help reduce costs.

Additionally it reduces the amount of overall water usage in a country or area in a country.

If for example you got rid of urinals, then it would be a flush of the toilet, which is far more water than even a constant flush urinal system uses, it would be a huge amount compared to a waterless urinal.

https://www.visitscotland.org/binaries/content/assets/dot-org/pdf/supporting-your-business/sustainable-tourism/sustainability-factsheet--water---toilets-and-urinals.pdf

Urinals especially waterless or controlled system ones are cheaper and have less environmental impact.

I think things like this question are just an expression of the jealousy many women feel about the fact that men don't have to sit on their asses or squat in the woods to pee. I get it, I know that must really suck for you.

Most public men's rooms have both toilet stalls and urinals, and the only times most men use the stalls are when the urinals are all taken or they have to do more than just pee. The urinals are a much better, faster and more convenient option, as long as you are not so thin skinned as to be concerned about others around you. That's a you problem.

By the way, I've seen women using urinals more than once. It tends to happen when alcohol is involved and the line for the ladies room extends out the door and around the corner, which is often the case because you women have to deal with the stalls and the squatting problem, which takes so long compared to just unzipping the fly and getting it done standing up. I do pity you for all that.

There is however this option you might want to consider. It would allow you to use urinals like we do. It will never be as convenient or speedy as it is for us men, but sure better than always having to take half your clothes off and sit your ass on a filthy seat to pee.

Do you think it’s time to ditch urinals…?

josephinelcajon · Answer

As many have said there are plenty of good reasons to have them. Low or some actually use no water. Quick use for high volume of people in a short time. One I have not heard yet is keeps the toilets much cleaner by helping those who cannot seem to pee straight. As far as privacy I use a toilet (not for a little dick but just not wanting to be next to someone else. I do wish and recommend they use more space and divider boards to give this privacy. Yet in Europe some use outdoor urinals.

Antman7119 · Answer

You can not beat the convenience of a urinal. Yes ones with walls is preferred so don’t have guys looking at each others cause some people just can’t control their curiosity. But efficiency of a urinal with a penis makes so much more sense reducing lines and also with toilets creates a lot of splash and mess peeing standing up. Urinals should definitely stay just standard ti have walls. Also not be placed in front of doors. Can’t tell you amount of times I’ve peed and had women just staring as someone is walking in or out of bathroom while they all waiting on line. Also note some countries have been experimenting with urinals for women, one that has a spout that sticks out more that you’re able to stand over. But many companies designing are stopping due to costs and people not willing to use them. Mostly ideal for dresses as you would still need to pull down pants to use correctly.

Slartybartfast · Answer

Women don't understand male restroom etiquette.
We don't look at each other, we don't talk to each other in fact we try not to make eye contact.
I could count on one hand the number of times I someone talked in the men's room and it was always something like. Don't use that one, it's leaking or they're out of towels.

Red_Arrow · Answer

Many good answers here! Urinals are more sanitary, faster, take less room, use less water, ands the ususal dividers prevent exposing to each other. So what nincompoop would want men to needlessly pee like girls? I think it is time to ditch stupid ideas.

Zeus_66 · Answer

So you want to oppress men, I see. Can't accept the fact that men are different than women. Cool. Tell ya what. Let's get rid of them, only use one bathroom collectively, and we'll piss all over your seats. Sounds like a fair trade off.

Bring on the oppression of men!

You're freaking ridiculous.

AnderM · Answer

I don't even know what the eff your purpose is with this poll.
But it's a really terrible POLL!

You didn't think of anything practical before hand. Just instantly assumed and concluded it's because we enjoy peeing with strangers. I mean come on use your logic?

Progressed society?
Yes indeed it is. Lets look up the term "Urinals"
In busy public toilets, urinals are installed for efficiency. Compared with urination in a general-purpose toilet, usage is faster and more sanitary because at the urinal there are no fecal germs, no additional doors or locks to touch, and no seat to turn up.

Most modern public toilets also dividers between each urinal.

I don't know what else to tell you other than this thread is seriously vague.

Kayla45 · Answer

Wait a second... Just because men have the ability to urinate standing up doesn't mean they should ditch the concept on urinals.

Sure our bodily anatomy is different, but I'm sure guys are used to pissing by each other anyway. It's not like they are looking at each other's junk or whatever.

bolverk · Answer

Men do not dictate what a women's 'restroom' are like so please do not try to dictate what the men's 'restroom' are like.
For guys ithey are a place to attend to bodily functions on the shortest time scale possible, hence , if we only need to piss why should we have to occupy a stall?
We go into the lav relieve ourselves, the urinal is an efficient way to do that, then wash hands and leave, we don't spend almost double the time primping.

MrKinktastic · Answer

Urinals are a big part of why the lines for men’s bathrooms are shorter than for women’s bathrooms.

As for the dudes pissing in the stalls, your insecurity is why we have to deal with piss on the seat when we do sit down… thanks…

loveslongnails · Answer

No, dumb idea, especially for large venues. We get to pee standing up in urinals or troughs. You get to wait in line for a dirty bathroom with no toilet paper, BUT, you can have multiple orgasms. It's a fair trade.

Subarugirl · Answer

I don't think it's that big of a deal... every one pees. It's not like it is a big secret. What's weird is people being uncomfortable with that. I think that we have progressed far enough as a society not to make something as normal as urinating taboo...…

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

Keep them for men's restrooms at a cleaning job I had. It was a trough on the floor, so not only did they line up, they basically peed on the floor into the thing with running water, to constantly flow one direction to wash it away.

Especially if restrooms become unisex, I don't want guys thinking they have good aim for toilets.

Daniela1982 · Answer

A stall requires more room than a urinal and it takes longer to use a commode. Plus men can't hit the target in a toilet but with a urinal there it is easier to put it on the target.

Have you never shared a cubicle with a female friend? Or just been to the bathroom with one?  Dare I explain the twobicle to you?  There's nothing unusual about it, women do it too.

SamIam96 · Answer

I hate public restrooms. Urinals are one reason. No, it isn't because we compare sizes. 99% of the time, guys stare straight forward in total silence. But, wtf, a tiny bit of privacy while peeing would be nice.

Lynx122 · Answer

No way then the lines will be long af. Urinals are the reason why men can just walk in to the bathroom at public events and girls have to wait for 20 minutes. Why would we give that up because you think it's weird?

Fa1con · Answer

What the heck? Urinals are much more efficient space wise than toilets. Go tp literally any event when it's busy and the ladies' room will have a line out the door and the men's room will be in and out. If there were toilets the nonces of the world wpuld just pee on the seats. Urinals have the added function of fewer surfaces to touch (or no surface at all if they flush automatically) so it literally is a prevention of germs spreading. Urinals are great! Anyone who glances at my bits in the process needs to remember that my eyes are up here.

You are a girl. How would you know how men like to pee? What? Do you want them to sit on a toilet in a public restroom and pee like a woman or what?

KrisPW · Answer

There's a reason the guy's line is usually shorter. Why ditch the ideas that are working?

AviatorTom · Answer

Urinals in men's rooms are the reason why there is rarely a line there, while there's almost always a line for the women's room. A urinal takes up less space than a stall, is quicker to use, easier to maintain, and more sanitary since no part of the body touches anything. How about more female urinals in women's roons?

A_stranger · Answer

We don't pee looking at each other... There is a partition between each urinal. And no one usually peeks into other man's business there.

20yearsolder · Answer

I wouldn't say that I enjoy taking a piss next to a stranger but you can put a lot more urinals in a confined space compared to installing doors. We have the option to pee At the urinal or go into a stall. It's not like we're inspecting each other's penises

matchrestore · Answer

The main argument for urinals now is environmental. They use far less water per flush than toilets, however some toilets now are "dual flush" and allow the user to select a flush for urine only to save water. Fun fact: over the years there have been many efforts to introduce female urinals for water saving purposes, but obviously they haven't caught on.

It wouldn’t be Hard to Screw someone over given There were no Cameras it would be a school staff members Word against a Traumatized kid that had to seek Therapy over something that never happened in the schools bathroom.

BlueStripedSoul · Answer

I've always thought it was pretty weird too. I just wish they all had partitions between them, but I'm sure they'd be a horror show to have to clean... because some guys are freakin' messy, inconsiderate pigs. lol 😕 But I think urinals exist just as a convenience thing. The absolute worst kind is literally a trough though! Wrap your head around that one! 😬

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

Actually, we should push for more urinals. You know those long lines at women’s restrooms that you see far more often than at men’s? Urinals are the reason for that disparity. Put urinals in women’s bathrooms and watch those lines all but disappear! TADA!! Ell oh ell!

andreasderjuengere · Answer

''We'' actually pee NEXT to each other.
If MEN one day feel like they no longer want urinals, then MEN will make a decision about it.
Without grumbles: I see no point in women telling me how to pee; ''we'' don't give 'you' advice either, do we.
Practically: where is the drain and the flush on the back fence? :) Progress is where?
Even more practically: when I see crowds queueing up at the ladies' - a urinal looks a lot more time-efficient, then :D

RavVid · Answer

Well first of all I don't think a girl should have an opinion on male urination habits.

Second which toilets have the long queues huh? Hint not the mens. Is this some equalization plot to make us have long queues too?

Look it is quick and efficient and that is they way we like it. And because we are cleaner then the toilet is we don't waste time washing our hands.

SJ1984 · Answer

To be quite honest, I can't even recall the last time I even used one of those things. Maybe when I was around 10.
You're right, they're stupid and outdated, and there are many men who don't even know how to use them, pissing all over the floor instead. With such an inability to aim properly, let's just hope they're not gun owners as well.
