If you're rich enough to have a urinal installed, you're rich enough to have a butler to wipe for you.

For a couple years in college, I lived in a suite in the dorms that had a urinal in the bathroom. It was a cool novelty at first, then I never really thought much about it.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 20:56 (twenty years ago) link

Well, it doesn't really require much thought.

I'm sure 30 years of touring has made Rick Neilsen rather desensitized to the power of the nasty blowjob.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 20:56 (twenty years ago) link

Some friends of mine did, except they have moved house now and haven't repeated it. Seemed no great advantage to me.

But did it *add value* to their home?

― caitlin (caitlin), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 21:00 (twenty years ago) link

I'd want a drain in the bottom of the floor, public restroom style. Then if I pissed all over I could just hose it off.

― andy, Wednesday, 1 September 2004 21:03 (twenty years ago) link

my friends converted an old office into their home so they have urinals, but they turned them into planters instead! silly twee friends!

also the answer is you bet your ass i would.

if he didn't sit down, he had to get on his knees and do it so he didn't miss.

This is fantastic!!

i mean if I was married and my wife was making sure I pissed in the right manner I think it'd be kind of tempting to go all R. Kelly on her and remind her who wears the piss wand in this family.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 21:10 (twenty years ago) link

I wish I followed R.Kelly's exploits more closely.

Beats me. Probably burst in on him at random moments, just to check. She was pretty freaky.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 21:20 (twenty years ago) link

Maybe she just checked the floor.

If I am already nude I sit, but I do it facing the tank, like I did when I first learned to pee in the big kids toilet.

i don't really know how having a urinal is more convenient.. i mean unless you have an actual cubicle too in the room.. so two people can piss+piss/piss+poo together. otherwise how's pissing into a normal toilet different?

the one q i kinda want to know the answer to is.. if you were really rich (and your house doesn't already have one) would you have a bidet installed in your home bathroom? i would be tempted.. i used one about a month ago and it was a very pleasant experience.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 22:41 (twenty years ago) link

You don't have to lift the seat or flush and it's angled better.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 22:44 (twenty years ago) link

Dude if I were really rich I'd just pay some guy---no, no some really foxy lass. yeah--- to follow me around with a golden pee-bucket.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 22:46 (twenty years ago) link

I meant that the bucket would be golden.

urinal recipe: drill a hole in bathroom floor, into insert an upturned traffic cone.

― cºzen (Cozen), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 22:57 (twenty years ago) link

i guess that is slightly more convenient. esp for those with poor aim. (i slice my pee through with the seat down no problem.. not a drop that doesn't go down the toilet)

toilets with auto-flush exist too.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 22:58 (twenty years ago) link

I disagree with some of their answers. I think (2) is actually trickiest. Standing at 6 is like saying 'ooh - I'm paranoid about being within 15 feet of you in case you think I'm gay'.

Well, you barely passed. Odds are in favour that you are actually a female and have never experienced a male rest facility in all it's glory. That, or you're a guy who doesn't get out much. If we were you, we wouldn't be showin' your score off to any of our friends, since they can probably pee way better than you can.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 22:59 (twenty years ago) link

for 2, I said stall 'I'm okay with being gay but let's not, ok?' 4.

― cºzen (Cozen), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:00 (twenty years ago) link

Ken - I don't believe that. There are micro-droplets. Shine a good light on the seat afterwards and see if you're still such a hotshot.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:00 (twenty years ago) link

Alba - I'm with you on the not going to #6. We can form a homo club.

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:01 (twenty years ago) link

It's not a homo club! It's an I'm not a homo but I'm perfectly at ease with my sexuality club.

Well done. We can continue to accept you into our society, since at least you have the means to determine where to go to the bathroom. Well, not counting that time in third grade when you got stuck in that locker. Yeah, that's right, we know.

Huh. So if nothing else, for the most part I know what to do in the men's room.

― j.lu (j.lu), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:04 (twenty years ago) link

50 out of 60.. for 4) i chose to be part of the pact rather than being paired up with the guy on the left.. but i neglected the standing between two men rule.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:07 (twenty years ago) link

I knew what they wanted me to answer each time, but I am my own man.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:08 (twenty years ago) link

I have noticed that in Scotland (and Ireland), men are far more likely to go into the stalls to pee, even if there is just one person (or even none - I am at the basins in this scenario, not spying with PPTV) at the urinals. English men are more comfortable with the whole thing.

btw. in this proposed home urinal set up, will there be a whole row of them, enabling one to pee with visitors and thrash out the positioning etiquette?

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:11 (twenty years ago) link

no thrashing.

― cºzen (Cozen), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:12 (twenty years ago) link

But the drip!

Good lord! You can't possibly be male! We have monkeys that are better trained at peeing than you are. If, on the obscure off-chance that you ARE male, you need some practice going to the bathroom. Sad, really.

― g--ff (gcannon), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:14 (twenty years ago) link

wouldn't having a urinal in your bathroom be a bit stinky? or is that only public ones that smell bad?

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:14 (twenty years ago) link

This whole 'not wanting to look gay' thing. Do gay men ever really deliberately go and stand next to people peeing to spy, or as a signal? This was not my idea of how cottaging worked.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:16 (twenty years ago) link

you'd probably want a "no cigarette butts in urinal" sign in your house too

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:16 (twenty years ago) link

I don't think urinals themselves smell bad, but the piss that misses 'em really does. (xpost)

and damned if I know, but I can't imagine watching urine shot from anybody's urethra is actually a turn-on to many people.

I've always wanted to - totally - drop trou in the bathroom. Take off the belt and boxers, let the pants fall to the floor. Stand with my bare-ass exposed and pee, jiggling my ass for maximum effect. Never had the guts, tho.

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Thursday, 2 September 2004 22:03 (twenty years ago) link

I guess a gold urinal would be pretty reflective.

I thought gold wasn't reflective. Which is why well-to-do vampires have goldware instead of silverware.

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Thursday, 2 September 2004 22:04 (twenty years ago) link

Jesus, just lock the bathroom door if you're that worried, jeremy.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 2 September 2004 22:05 (twenty years ago) link

Urinals use a lot less water than toilets per flush. It's environmentally more friendly and one would suppose more economical.

I'd like to have a men's pee room for the guys in my family (and I am the only female, including the dogs)—an entirely tiled closet with a hole in the floor and showerheads all round that would come on automatically after each use.
That's how I would spend my personal fortune.

I may not be rich, but I've got a urinal in my house, in a small bathroom not far removed from the dining room. the oddest thing about it is that the bathroom doesn't have a normal door. instead, it's got one of those swinging western bar-style door that goes from roughly my knee to shoulder. so, while my guests are over for dinner, I can relieve myself without missing leaving the conversation. classy!

I too used to pee outside my door in high scholl - my bedroom was in a converted garage. But I was out there late one summer during the day and it stank! I learned not to pee there in the summer (no rain for months in So Cal).

Unnecessary synonym for urinate: micturate, also derived from Latin, and meaning precisely the same thing.

an ex-plumber from new york married into one of the wealthiest families in michigan. he got into refurbishing houses. he was very proud of putting 12 bathrooms in a ~4000 sq ft house. no urinals, but i'm sure that's only because he didn't think of it. tackiness... didn't seem to bother him. (here's his pool.)
