For Men Only Part 2: More Adventures At The Urinal

Strangler Lewis · 05-30-2007, 09:50 AM

Summer is here, and that means short pants. And that means getting my legs splashed every time I use a public urinal. It seems like this has only happened for about the last ten years. I don't know whether to attribute this relatively recent development to new designs in urinals, e.g., not as deep, less front lip, lower mounting on the wall, etc. or to some change in my arc or stance.

How do you all handle this?

Urine is sterile. Don't worry about it.

Urine is sterile when fresh. It won't stay that way.

But I can't say as this is a frequent problem I've encountered.

I suggest standing farther back (say four feet) and then slowly sliding forward as stream diminishes.

Ah, you're a young man.

But, seriously, I doubt I've seen anyone stand four feet back from a urinal (or other target) since grade school. The width of the average urinal partition suggests that such an approach is not common.

It's all about angles. Ideally, you want to hit the urinal surface at an obtuse angle. The closer you get to 180° the lower chance you'll be hit. So if possible, don't stand directly in front of the urinal (I know dividers can make this impossible) or at least aim your stream as much as possible to the side. I've seem some urinals whose back wall is designed to facilitate this effect. I like those!

yup. bank shot off the rounded edge prevents splashback.

Indeed. I also practice this procedure of pee.

Obtuse angles, FTW

And for the shy guys, special bonus information - Can't get Willie to relax and make with the yellow when there are folks about? Scratch inside your navel and brace for the roaring stream.

Which reminds me... Hi, Wendy!!

Btw, and totally off topic- we're booked at the Grand Villas (two bedroom) from 6/16/10 through 6/22/10. There are three bathrooms, so when we have our Swank Villa gathering, you guys can whiz to your hearts content.

(So you'd better plan on being there, Sam!)
