| The unwritten law strictly between men
Posted: 1/9/2007 11:00:57 AM | | I have been in places that were wall free and hand no problem using them. I do not follow the eyes forward rule (walls or not), I get the outermost stall and stare at the wall to my side (head turned slightly and eyes all the way to the edge. That way if someone is looking I don't have to know about it. I don't condsider it homophobic because some guys really are gay. I look away instead of ahead because I don't ever again want to see someone staring more than long enough to make a police sketch. The glowing in his eyes, made me feel sheer disgust and horror. Then he goes right back to normal making me look like the weird one to the 3rd guy in the bathroom. Thanks for bringing back bad memories with this thread. | |

even if you run out of toillet paper "
Before anyone asks, you crawl under the stall divider as soon as the adjecent one is vacant and the door is closed and nobody can see you do it. | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 11:11:17 AM | How funny!
Football games at the University of Oklahoma... We had Troughs 10-20-30 feet long on every wall except the sink wall. At halftime men were stuffed in there tighter than sardines. Most guys attempted to not touch elbows at the trough but there is always some *MORON* that sees a gap between 2 guys and forces his way in there with lil johnny already hanging out.... Forcing us to step sideways while mid stream! You almost want to turn and shower the moron!
OH! OH! God forbid someone is drunk at the trough. He's making a games of crossing his stream over yours! You want to kill em'!
Sometimes accidently seeing/being seen in that situation is inevitable but we just ignore it.
*Are you women sure you want to complain about long lines? You'd be welcome to use our long trough and see what you think! | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 11:17:18 AM | A lot of fights have gotten started that way.
Most guys here don't remember the old toughs where every one used the same big bowl.
Nowadays, don't look , don't talk. Even if the guy next to you invites you to look. EXPECIALLY not then ! | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 11:19:00 AM | Alright, I’m going to be blunt and let you in on a lot of the man code for bathroom etiquette.
First and foremost, never ever speak to anyone in the rest room. NEVER. It’s not allowed, under any circumstances. Never meet eyes with any other man in the rest room. If the restroom is set up in standard 5 urinal 2 stall set up there are certain rules to follow.
If all are empty, your choices are simple.
Either urinal on the end.
[ X ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
Or
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ X ]
If you’re the second person to come in, choose the Urinal s far as possible from the other male, such as so
[ X ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ X ]
If you’re the 3rd person needing to answer the call of nature, your place should be the furthest place from either of them, resulting in this set up
[ X ] [ ] [ X ] [ ] [ X ]
Now, on the chance of it being very busy, and all three of the previous places are already taken, DO NOT, and I must repeat this for seriousness, DO NOT EVER EVER EVER take a stall next to another man, it is NEVER acceptable.
In standard practice, these two urinals should NEVER be used.
In the case that they are taken, and the earlier diagram is in fact in practice, the only other acceptable place is the stall furthest from the urinals
[ X ] [ ] [ X ] [ ] [ X ] --{ }-- --{ X }--
Now, it IS acceptable to take the other un-occupied stall in the chance that its an emergency, but only in such cases.
Hope that helps a bit. | |

Have YOU ever cast your eyes to the left or right to see if YOU measure up?
This one time at the gym in the changing room, I noticed something from my
peripheral vision that was swinging....the guy was very proud of himself and
was walking around completely naked. He broke the male-changing room
etiquette and the one thing that prevented a confrontation was that he
didn't break the other rule...."talking to people while naked" LOL | |

Ok.....So your a man and you go to a urinal to pee. Do you ever cast your eyes over to the next blokes 'pee pee' to check it out?
NO!!! You read the article that's posted above the urinal, look up an away, or concentrate on your own business.
Even if the rumor is that the guy next to us could blugeon a baby seal to death with it...you don't look. Doesn't matter what he has, because there is very little a man can do to change that aspect of himself, so a man works with what he's got. | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 11:39:02 AM | | I really don't care about the next guy's size. We go to the urinal to pee and nothing else. AND they all have privacy dividers. We may crack some jokes like "Hanging out?" but that's about it. | |

Don't you have better things to do than toask crude and perverted questions?
This question is a good example of how the human civilization is getting worse rather than better.

Posted: 1/9/2007 12:00:23 PM | Now, that's a wang I'd like to see, the Pope's!
Jeeez, you all act like kids still, I am sure ur all just kidding, cause the last time I saw guys that didn't crack jokes in the john was, I don't even remember. I've been to unisex and regular joints, I have no issue with parading around naked at the gym or where ever.
I haven't laughed so hard for awhile. Thanks y'all, you're all too much. LOL!
Now, if ur all not kidding, and getting defensive over such a silly thing as that, I could see you would not enjoy being to a nudist colony or beach or even peeing in the shower with ur woman. | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 12:02:22 PM | Haha i was just wanting to make a pope ref. in a topic mostly about the wang.
Ohh, and peeing in the shower with a woman is more fun, if you pee ON THEM... | |

Peeing in the shower, sure. Peeing while with a woman that can watch, sure. Being Naked in the shower with a woman sure. What you said, wtf?
For the nudist places, no I wouldn't enjoy it. | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 12:47:27 PM | I guess with that homophobic logic then women shouldn't look at each other's breasts, men should hide their eyes to any man's body parts while on the beach or in public. But I will bet anyone any amount of money that men do check out each other's bulges at the beach, at ball games, porno flicks, etc. And God forbid, don't ever have a urinary tract infection, where you might have to seek medical assistance...
***Mr ultimo, you're right on! Of course men check each other out, just like women do. It's human nature! Any man who denies doing this is lying. I am glad, though, that we have stalls in women's bathrooms, so we're not tempted to check out each other's goods.

Posted: 1/9/2007 12:55:11 PM | Well said, Jarbarian, very true...
In fact, I just came up with a tongue-in-cheek way of looking at it.
guys with low self-esteem don't look at other men's diddly-bobs because they're scared that they won't measure up.
guys who are arrogant and insecure look at other men's portable missile launchers because they want to prove that theirs is bigger to keep their ego floating on air.
guys with real confidence don't look because they're more interested in getting out of there and getting back into the lobby with their beautiful girlfriend/wife and going wherever they need to go. | |

Any man, regardless of upbringing, and regardless of the fact that the last thing women interested in me worry about is my size? This may not be that serious of a topic, but generalization is still generalization.
Mr. Ultimo:
I may not be someone who would rate low on kink factor, but I don't see the point. What's wrong with guys not being into alot of kinky things? I say the same thing about not being kinky that I've seen said about some of the kinky stuff - To each his own. | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 1:39:34 PM | I see a lot of negativity between guys here. We take ourselves waaay too seriously!
It's just a slab of flesh with one purpose! Who cares if people see it?
Honestly, I've been to nude beaches in Europe, and it's no big deal over there to see another man's pianist, not even if you're a man (*gasp!*).
My opinion of why our American society is so prudish is simple: We are still Puritanical.
We have been incredibly prudish about sex, and as much as you MTV aficionados would say otherwise, the simple fact is that they're the opposite extreme. Being Anti-puritanical is still being a slave to puritan ideals, even if it just means you're trying to escape.
You ever watch Japanese TV? Incredibly suggestive, by our standards! You ever watch Monty Python? There's all sorts of nasty stuff in there, and it's funny to us because part of us sees the joke of us trying to think that our most important natural feature (yes more important than our brain) is supposed to be classified under "Naughty Bits".
Anyway, hopefully the point of my rant has been heard, and tourism out of the US will increase dramatically thanks to moi.

Haha! So there really IS such a rule? One doesn't want to answer (which is admitting the truth), and the other has answered.....well, sort of.
Sure there is a rule, just the same as the rule that states women always have to go in pairs. | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 2:21:00 PM | lol, as if though being a hunk to women is any sort of a sign of having a large member. In the gym locker room, the guys with the biggest buff bodies have the smallest d!cks. And if I ever catch a guy looking I almost always assume he's gay. Big hunks as you put it overcompensate their lack of a member by buildin up their bodies. I've seen it in the gym locker room and I laugh secretly inside, lol
Sometimes God is just great at evening out the odds... | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 2:31:59 PM | I've been in men's bathrooms at concerts because the women's always have huge lines. And the men never pee in the nice stalls. So we get to.
The men are always lined up at the urinals laughing and joking. It sure isn't a silent place when I'm in there. I'm not saying they're using them in jousting matches or anything, but there's none of this eyes-straight-ahead thing going on either. | |

It's not gay but isn't always interesting to hear someone say something is gay.
Fine, it's bi... whatever. The vast majority of straight guys don't look and don't really want to. Whether it's instincts, cultural upbringing, or just a complete lack of interest who can say? Some people might attribute it to homophobia, but not everyone who doesn't want to look is homophobic, so obviously that isn't the answer. | |
