TOT Is it necessary for men to pee standing up?
I was tempted to hijack the flexible flush pipe thread :-))
Anyways. I am suffering from a "women's problem" at the moment - cystitis. I saw a pharmacist who explained that the pain was to do with bacteria and ph of the wee. I don't think she knows what she's talking about! I'm sure it's that someone is sneaking in there with a red hot poker! I also saw the Dr and he explained that it had probably been caused by a partial blockage of the outlet from the bladder which had caused it not to empty fully which had led to stale urine, etc, etc. However, I generally sit down to pee (as the other way tends to have a detrimental effect on the floorcovering and ambiance of the toilet room). I seem to remember reading during previous discussions here regarding the feasability of female urinals that women need to sit down otherwise their bladders don't empty fully. I wonder if men need to stand up (at least occasionally) for the same reason? As there are a lot of grumpy old men on here, I thought i'd ask if anyone has any wisdom. Must go - have to dash to the bathroom! |

TOT Is it necessary for men to pee standing up?
Why is your aim so erratic? Do you have a faulty nozzle? Are you retracting any covering? Dunno, It may be i'm out of practise, or it may be I was never that good in the first place. Given the amount of wee that was on the carpet in the toilet room when we moved into our present house, I am not alone. I suspect most men think they're better at it than they are and that it's all the others who can't hit the pan. I did have an interesting experience a few years ago when I used a urinal at the swimming pool whilst wearing trunks. I noticed I was getting a very fine mist coming back over my legs. Presumably this normally would go over the trousers (without being noticed!) ob jewish joke 2 Jews at the urinal. !st Jew "Was your circumciscion done by Hy Cohen too? 2nd Jew "yes! how did you know?" 1st Jew "You're ****ing on my foot!" |

As to the second, mushroom not carrot :=)) And it was a professional job, but not by a Jew AFAIK. Oh dear, I hope this isn't going to descend into the sort of pro/andi circ flame war that wreaks such havoc with other groups. |

Actually that is the actual cause of cistitis. Bacteria is present in the urine, but if the urine is not being completely expelled each time (either failing to empty, or by a blockage, possibly by the prostate), then the bacteria can build up causing an infection, irritation and inflamation of the bladder. http://www.doctoronline.nhs.uk/maste...gy/uti_wom.asp D |

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

I am suffering from a "women's problem" at the moment - cystitis.
I know someone who suffered for *years* from this... Depending on gender, several options may help: Sodium citrate (or similar preparation) from a chemist - i`ve seen several varieties for sale *Plain* natural "live" yoghurt (use fingers to apply to affected area Cranberry juice (as mentioned elsewhere) can ease the discomfort They finally cleared of the symptoms after ~10 years by taking antibiotics for a completely unrelated problem ! -- Please add the word "newsgroup" in the subject line of personal emails **** My email address includes "ngspamtrap" and " **** |

Presumably this normally would go over the trousers (without being noticed!) I've been wearing shorts and sandals during the last few summers and have been surprised by how much splashback there is from a urinal too. Ever since first noticing this I aim at the side - it helps a little. Dave I went into a pub toilet some many years ago and the bloke that was standing next to me was pointing dead ahead onto the urinal. The type that is a wall of white. Even though I was wearing jeans, I could feel the splash back :-( I hate to think what I looked like when I went back into the bar. Dave |

However I did have a look at the site above and found the following comment regarding the product (which is designed to help women pee standing up) 'I usually use a pint glass anyway if the ladies is too full. I suppose the shoe shape might be a snugger fit and more hygienic' Sarah, Worthing, UK I think in future I shall be taking my own glass when I go to the pub! |
