The sexual politics of installing a home urinal

[MatureDJ]

I am in the process of having a new home built, and have put in a urinal in both of the bathrooms. My architect and construction manager both commented that they both wanted to put one in their OWN homes, but that in both cases, their wives nixed it.

I can recall a decade ago having a similar conversation with a friend's wife (at that time I was mentioning how I wanted to put one in for my next home.) She said that it would be a bad thing (unless it were hidden behind a door), and that it might be a bit offensive to a woman using that bathroom (WTF?)

I have already decided that this is going to be my permanent home for a LONG, LONG time. If any woman comes into my life and makes a big deal about it, I will simply say something like:

I can change women a lot easier than I change my home.

I SWEAR, this place just continues to surprise me.

GREAT idea, and to h*ll with women who don't like it.

Why don't we ALL have them? Helps with the seat up/down B.S., too, right?

If any woman comes into my life and makes a big deal about it

Tell her that having the urinal keeps it neater in the bathroom, and makes it easier for your girlfriends to clean.

I'll stick with my hidden camera system

j/k

I've had more than one chick tease me about that actually. And we all know that jokes are half serious. Must not have been too bad though cause I think the only ones who joked about it were chicks I was fukking.

Nice. I had a chuckle with this one.

 

[Maxtro]

I'd love to put a urinal in my house when I get a house. I'd like a really cool one. Heck it even solves the problem of leaving the seat up.

Beats pissing in the sink!

 

[Last Man Standing]

I thought about this myself!! I have an old house, I'm thinking about getting one of those urinals that you find at festivals were they have a rotunda of urinals and you can wash your hands by stepping on a bar to wash your hands - it takes up a lot of space! I have to build a separate room/house to build this contraption!

This is not about sexual politics - it's about human rights!!

Sometimes I enjoy a sit-down wee.

I never give out rep points, cant be ars*d, but i feel obliged to in this situaton

Nice.

 

[KontrollerX]

If the women that nixed having urinals in their homes did so because they thought those things were ugly I have to agree.

They are however awesome for convenience so definitely good job getting one installed for yourself man.

 

[squirrels]

LOL WTF??

How big is your bathroom?

Urinals are great for public restrooms because they allow men to "go" without having to worry about seat-splash and without the necessity of "putting down paper". Urinals, however, are regularly prone to "oversplash", which makes your floor a mess of piss. In a public bathroom, especially a bar, it's not that big a deal. In your house...ehh...you're gonna be mopping a lot more to keep your place sanitary.

Plus if your bathroom's not big enough, you're not going to be able to put it anywhere where it's not face-level with someone sitting down to take a dump. Which is just nasty. Public bathrooms are big enough to fit several between wide divided stalls.

Now if you have a club-room or bar-room where the guys come to hang out and that area has its own bathroom close-by, then it's an EXCELLENT idea. But for the primary/master bathroom? Dude, just lift the seat up. Same effect.

Some of you guys take this "ultra-MAN-power" too far. You're as bad as the feminazis, making a big deal out of every damn thing. It's a neat idea, but I don't think you've thought it through beyond "how much it'll piss off the feminists".

But hey, it's your bathroom.

@Squirrels - nope. They come in all shapes and sizes and constructions.

Now I like this one

This one is not bad too IMHO ) Artsy, but nothing for everyday use.

There´s models out with a lid. So aesthetical problems solved.

There´s a zillion other designs and constructions out.. so get whatever rocks your boat... or the one of your GF.

So - if you like the concept (I do... we have one - no life without it!), there´s no technical or aesthetical argument against it that cannot be solved.

Man, screw the urinal and install a bidet!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidet

There would be nothing like giving your arse a quick wash when you're having a particularly runny day after eating Mexican. And women can use it to give their pu55y a quick wash after sex.

 

[Rudra]

Man, screw the urinal and install a bidet!

Yeah, good for feet as well))) Those french know their shyt...
But with a shower in every bathroom bidets IMHO have become obsolete.

 

[STR8UP]

Haha......I just love the title of this thread "The sexual politics of installing a home urinal".

As if there should be ANY politics involved in installing a urinal. Great thread.

 

[KontrollerX]

LMFAO @ Rudra!!!

Damn man those urinals would have me laughing too hard to be able to use em.

 

[Desdinova]

But with a shower in every bathroom bidets IMHO have become obsolete.

I'd disagree. The shower's good for a full body wash. A bidet would be perfect for after sex when all you wanna do is get your crotch washed.

I'd love to have a bidet.
Her: What's that thing for?
You: For washing your pu55y after sex.
Her: You're kidding, right?
You: Here, take you pants off and I'll show you how it works.
