For Men Only: Old School at the Urinal? - Page 3

I learned it as "No matter how you squirm and dance, The last drop always lands in your pants."

And it's not just the button flied who do this. When I wore button flied pants, I would just undo the relevant buttons.

I've noticed the semi-aggressive "feet shoulder width apart" slumped over stance, and always figured it was kind of like blocking out on the basketball court. I do it too, I guess, whenever I encounter the unfortunate urinal-sans-privacy-wall. As far as the through-or-over conundrum, maybe it's just that most guys still haven't put playing swords behind them? I'm an old school shooter myself, so I wouldn't know.

Both of these fulfill my need for more syllables, and keep the ambiguity that Alex rightfully pointed out. I'm satisfied.

A professor of mine in college had a stance that always made me crack up:

Feet wider than shoulder width apart,
Right fist on hip (think classic "King and I" pose),
Left hand on wall above urinal.

I recently bought a pair of button-fly pants for the first time in years, and found the fully-opened fly necessary. I've noticed (usually) younger guys at the urinal with pants undone, and wondered thought how inconvenient it must be to have to concentrate that much on keeping the pants from just dropping off. Now that I've done it myself a few times, I still think that.

Then again, these are the same guys who regularly wear their pants with the fly somewhere in the vicinity of the knee, so I guess it makes sense to them.

Yes, but who can forget CP's Time-o'-the-Month thread ? ... and several men participated in that.

I wear 501's almost exclusively and yeah, it seems the 'access port' is sewn considerably shorter than they used to be, although to ask Levi, they've been the same for x hundred years. (not even bringing up the fearful subject of 'zipper tread' a couple of those make you a very careful person

)

dunno. I (quite intentionally) never really took that much notice of anyone else during that particular moment of my day. I must admit that Im one of those belt, fly and all hell opened up to go kind of guys as I just hate trying to wiz through that narrow opening most pants have for such activity. Ditto for that spring loaded fly sewn into most underwear.

I will say though that just reading this thread has made me have to go.

so if you'll excuse me.....

Thinking about it, if indeed it has changed over time I wonder if it is because of a change in style and general tightness of pants. The through the fly method is much easier in relatively loose fitting slacks and more difficult in relatively tight jeans. As we've gone to more casual clothing that tends to fit more snugly (and as we've grown bigger tending to more snugly fill our clothes) I wonder if that would change habits.

When I wear slacks I am much more likely to go through the fly since opening everything wide makes it hard to keep your pants up. But with jeans they aren't going to go far.

What about A full grown man who skeeves everyone in the place out by doing that little kid number and dropping trou all the way down and pissing bare assed while swaying around like a freaking drunkard?
