Wondering about something

[Unregistered]

I was curious if anyone here had ever had their meatal "lips" (No idea what else to call them, but basically the flaps to the side of the orifice on the penis where urine comes out from if it needed clarification to anyone) stick together and cause accidental problems when urinating. Mine have had that occur before when I wasn't aware they were stuck together, just when the stream starts the force of the outgoing urine has to push apart the lips, and this may cause an inconvenient splash or alter the path before the stream straightens. It's not that their tight and FORCED to stay stuck together though, it just happens from moisture or whatever else. Even sweat could cause it from what I noticed. There aren't any other problems from that though.

I've also seen that there seems to be quite a bit of variation in exactly how the meatus is shaped from browsing galleries of, what else but dicks in general? Some look more ...Pointed at the tip, mine is like that. Others seem more like they're blunt and curved inwards to the urethra. Those ones always seem more smooth though to me. Is this yet another possibility for fuckups circumcision could cause..? Or just normal differences. Thoughts? (If an abnormal meatus shape is another side-effect though, that certainly doesn't help their "So that he'll pee straight" rationale bullshit either. Doesn't seem to be helping me none.)

Yes, that has happened to me. they seem to vary a bit, causing my urine stream to be a bit wild and hard to manage at times.

I think some of the complications of circumcision inlcude affects on the meatal opening.

Meatal Stenosis is a complication of circumcision that is very rare in the intact. It's basically an effect of repetetive injury. The urine stream can be pinched off.

I've had urine come out cock-eyed if I don't urinate promptly after an ejaculation. It's never a real problem (except for a couple times when it gave a surprise pain) because I always sit to urinate.

That is a little unusual unless you were brought up in a family of females only. Or is it that you are very particular about keeping your 'restroom' (whatever you call it in the US) immaculately clean?

Yes I have experienced a similar situation, but never thought to comment on it.

I was circ'd very tight CI-1, unfortunately. After a year of effort, I am now CI-2, maybe. I was left with no frenulum.
I've had times when my urine stream went sideways and hit the floor. I had no control of this! On close inspection, I've discovered what must be the meatal stenosis described above. There is a flap of skin inside the meatus, that separates it just beyond the opening.
Another thing to live with that is due to the brutal circ I received as a baby.

My room mate sits to pee. I just always assumed that it was because he was too drunk to stand up. Not too sure anymore. On the other hand, I must stand in order to keep my penis from dangling in the water below. Although, that is very refreshing at times.
BTW, uncut guys have the same issues regarding urine stream. Women do as well.

Are you suggesting Ron is constantly drunk? He cannot be otherwise he would not be able to make such fantastic products, although I think it is his wife and daughter he employs to maintain production.

Jeff, you are from Arkansas. If you had been from Texas you would have needed to stand on a chair or a ladder to keep your dick dry!

That reminds me of the two guys pissing off opposite sides of a bridge.
First guy: The river water is cold today
Second guy: Yeah, and quite deep, too :p

By the way, why is Kansas pronounced Kansas but Arkansas not pronounced Ar-Kansas?

BINGO! But I sit because it's neater and more relaxing.

Occasionally get a V-P style when the opening sticks together.

My brother, also a victim of RIC, when he was learning to use the toilet, had a stream that pointed about 45 degrees to the left.

Don't know if he grew out of it, but for a while there, we did a lot of bathroom cleaning.

Interesting answers. Seems like it can be pretty a common thing, then. I understand that intact men may as well be likely to have their own issues with controlling streams, but I have difficulty imagining that the smooth looking meatal openings (Which I described above, those more blunt ones. Aren't they more common for them?) would ever stick closed shut like that.

From my observation, I don't have any skin INSIDE the urethra like Jneuman described, but I do have one looser, less pointed looking bit that tends to flop about a little when disturbed on the right lip. Left one is shaped perfectly pointed though, go figure.

Where I work the new buildings have been planned with unisex toilets but I believe there have been complaints and they may now be segregated.

One thing the ladies did mention is 'bad aim' by the men. They did NOT have men like Ron in mind, obviously :p

I'm sure Ron is a fine gentleman that obviously appreciates a clean urinating facility. My roomie is also named Ron, but, his reasoning is obviously quite different.
Thank you for sharing that info with me concerning Texans. I find that fascinating. I was under the impression that most men from Texas also sat to urinate. Due to anatomical reasons, of course :)
I have read that Arkansas and Kansas, both mean south wind. Not really sure. I just hope they don't pee in the Arkansas River, as we are down stream.

Just to make it known, I was the original poster of this topic but I decided to register.

I do wonder though, how many women (if any at all...) would ever take that as a possible aspect into consideration though when they encounter a messy seat? Uncontrollable streams as an accident, whether from a malformed meatus or especially if it's just general damage caused by a Circ obviously aren't something a guy could help, but they would be rather lazy to begin with if they didn't bother to clean up after themselves anyway should it happen...

That would be an interesting question. I wonder if the opposite sex in general is just outright ignorant of possible logical causes for a mess that the man can't help sometimes. (If he chooses to stand) IF that is the case, then it would be nice if they were mindful of it whenever they complained. But with all the ignorance already around Circ it probably wouldn't happen.

I would just like to add that in my 20s, I dated a young lady who stood up to urinate.

Not every time.

Well, actually, only a few times. It was because I bought her a sort of novelty to keep in her purse. It was called Le Funnelle.

It was a flushable paper funnel folded flat and individually wrapped in cellophane. When unfolded the shape of it is perfect for catching and directing urine that's streaiming out of a standing woman. The idea is that she'd be at a concert or street fair and need to use a disgusting porta-potty, and pulling this funnel out of her purse would save her the agony of sitting in a putrid mess.

It's an awesome idea. I don't think that particular brand ever got off the ground, but there are other similar solutions available, including re-usable plastic in a carrying case.

That girlfriend was funny and cute. We had a party at my apartment and she put a sign on the wall over the toilet: "To our guests: we aim to please. Gals, you aim too, if you please." And the funnels were there with the instruction booklet. It was one of these situations where if you left the door open a hair, you could see a standing someone's urine stream flying through the air without seeing the person or the toilet it was destined for. We had a few people accept the challenge of the funnel, but only one got drunk enough to leave the door open a crack for us so we could see her urine stream in action.

I'm not a kid anymore, but I think that would still make for a memorable party.

Having cleaned more than a few public toilets in a professional capacity in my time, I can say without a doubt that the aim of "hovering" (trying to hunker over a toilet seat without actually touching it while urinating) women is FAR, FAR worse than the aim of standing men. The idea that women's restrooms are cleaner than men's restrooms is, in my experience, a complete myth. I suspect the real reason women object to unisex toilets is because they don't want men as a group to know how truly filthy and inconsiderate they are once that stall door closes.

Some very amusing stuff.

This must be where the rhyming expression "a hit and a miss" come from.

The idea of a woman standing to urinate is totally sexy! Furthermore, it automatically turns my 12oz. PUD into a time piece. Yes, my PUD that was at 6 O'Clock is now at 2 O'Clock.
A prerequisite for my next ex-wife is that she must stand to pee.
