For Men Only: Old School at the Urinal?

Strangler Lewis · 04-01-2007, 07:53 AM

Been teaching my son about standing up at the potty to do number one. This has me thinking about what appears to be a change in standard operating procedure that I've noticed out of the corner of my eye in recent years.

I was taught that you address the urinal, unzip, reach in, pull the critter out through the fly in your underwear and your pants, point and shoot. I've never had any problem with this.

In recent years, I've noticed a lot of 20 somethings and 30 somethings doing it differently. They approach aggressively, like an SUV bearing down on a stop sign, barely able to stop. When they get to the urinal, they spread their legs about shoulder width apart. Instead of just unzipping, they undo their belt and then unbutton their pants before unzipping and folding the front of their pants down. Now, whether they then go through their underwear or over the top is something I can't tell without giving the matter an unsafe amount of attention.

So, what's this all about? Are they going over the top rather than through? If so, are all these guys--from stockbroker types to working class--wearing a new style of flyless underwear? Is this all an affectation meant to suggest that things are so big that more space must be cleared? Has a coping mechanism to avoid pissing one's self while drunk carried over into daily life? Is it a borrowing from, how you say, the hip hop?

All insights welcome.
