Pissoir Behaviorism

[drscott]

I never noticed this until recently, but now it's common -- why do men spit into the urinal before they start to piss?

And what's this new trend toward flushing it when you get there, then peeing on top of the flush?

I dunno, but I do neither.

And a question on that vein, why can't men just sit and pee like women do, even if there is only a toilet available, they stand and pee into it, and often all over it?

that's what my inquiring mind wants to know. :-)

1) Too much work
2) Seat's not clean because other men have splashed piss all over it. :)

That's true.

But I sit anyhow, then again, I'm gay so I'm just a tad different than most straight men. LOL.

My dad did that years ago. I think the syndrome is "peeing shyness" - can't bear to think that others can hear the peeing noise.

[dr-scott.livejournal.com]

Ah. That makes sense. Now if only they'd flush after as well.

Both are strategies for overcoming pee-shyness, to relax the sphincter just enough to get started, then it all works out... Wow it's been a while since I typed "sphincter"...

He said sphincter, heh-heh-heh.

I won't ask you if you're getting any chances to use it.

And as usual we'd love to hear you're coming for a visit....

I've never understood either behavior.

Just you as far as I can tell -- works fine from here and no complaints from elsewhere.

Indeed, that was it. It's been wrong for six months and nobody said anything!

Yhanks for pointing it out.

I've followed that link a few times over the last few months. If it wasn't working, that was a new development.
