Men's Urinals

[lagizma]

Men's urinals fascinate me. There, I've said it.

The highlight of my elementary school career was the day in second grade when Mrs. Biggs let all of the girls walk in and look at the boys' bathroom and all the boys scope out the girls bathroom. It was scandalously fascinating. Of course, Jeremy Freeman took it a little too far and actually used

The only times I've really encountered ice in urinals is indeed in crappy places. Low-end sports arenas and crappy college bars primarily. Also, this is generally only done (in my experience) in the trough-style urinal. Yes, some places do not have individual porcelain urinals, but just a big metal trough that may have multiple drains or be angled with a drain at the end. Those tend to be packed with ice. Probably because of the volume of urine that can be deposited in one of these troughs all at once, it keeps the smell and indeed warmth from getting overwhelmingly gross.

Ah-ha! See, you are better than my husband, giving me these key urinal details and differentiations. I never really knew about troughs, but they make sense.

Weird...I feel as though I've somehow seen ice in a urinal and assumed it was because people were dumping drinks down the drain, but I have no idea how I would have seen and thought that, being female? Past life?

Prior to your sex change? Who knows.

My grandparents for some *strange* reason had a men's urinal in their house. The girl cousins outnumbered the boy cousins tremendously, and none of us knew what it was for a long time. We just thought it was a funny-shaped toilet and tried using it with predictably disasterous results, until finally my mom caught us squatting over it and just about died laughing.

Totally awesome. I wish I had one to experiment with.

i always thought the ice in the urinal was a composition of urinal cakes in a fun shape. i never stopped to think that it was really ice. man i wish i had a penis.

I so wish I had one. I want to pee in the woods and claim my territory.

But men's rooms usually smell really bad. I've used them before when the lines for the women's room are too long. They are always really smelly.

I'm really glad I'm not the only person in the world who has that "if I had a penis" thought from time to time. I'd totally pee everywhere, and maybe go try to get someone pregnant. It'd be rad.

Though there's a lot to be said for internalized genitalia. I've never gotten frostbite on my snatch while skiing, for example. I had an ex-boyfriend with a very unpleasant experience in that department.

Not the snatch department. The frostbite department. Just to be clear.
