While they're becoming quite rare, I always loved unisex communal showers.

One of my sons has always taken notice of the futility of taking an effort to build urinals that just drain to ground or river anyway. Anytime he's seen one he has told about it, often photographed it, asking what's the point. He first noticed them on trains, where the toilets open to the tracks as well. In Amsterdam they built outdoor toilets that drain into canals. At a German castle the floor trough drained to a scupper on the side of the building where it dropped 2 or 3 stories to the ground below. Toilets on ferries that drain overboard, piers as well. We've noticed street side stalls th

Very true. Honestly I always thought of urinals as being redundant, as they're usually mounted on a tile wall and above a tiled floor with a floor drain near. I've seen several beach or pool locker rooms where they simply run a water line across the wall waist high and locate a couple drains in a recess in the floor along the wall, that seems to me to be the simple solution. But then I don't really see the harm in just peeing against a wall either, it's all gonna run to a drain anyway.

No worries, even in conventional pools and waterparks pissing on the locker room floors has become quite a mainstream habit.

Not to worry new guy, I've always peed while swimming in pools and I think most women do. It's much more effort for women to get out, especially when wearing a one piece swimsuit. The guys can just step into the locker room and soak the nearest wall, but it's a bit more involved for ladies.

Certainly that's your decision to make and each of us is different. The only reason I bring up the subject is that I've found that many boys and young men these days seem to believe their mothers, sisters and female members of their family would be either offended or outraged, which is simply not the case. I've had friends whose boys have gone out of their way to hide from their parents, only to find out years later it was totally unnecessary. All I'm saying, is there's no reason to act differently around mom.

My boys and I have always been very open an honest with each other, we've never had secrets between us nor felt the need to hide anything from one another as most boys today do. What I have tried to do is assure young men that moms are neither as naive nor as squeamish as they seem to think we are. We're all well aware that boys are able and willing to pee just about anywhere and just because we haven't encouraged doing so, does mean we'd object to it. While some women might take offence to seeing a strange man with unknown intentions nude, no mom is going to feel threatened nor offended to se

There's a huge difference between casual nudity and incest, that many people don't seem to get these days. For years we separated men and women in locker rooms so that we weren't changing cloths in front of people who might be sexually attracted to us. It was assumed that boys changing in front of other boys or dads wouldn't be any issue as there was thought to be no sexual attraction, nor should there be between a mother, aunt, grandmother or sister. Of course today there are more same sex attractions so the separation of sexes seems less effective today. What it comes down to is who a person

Seems so odd to me that so many guys these days are hesitant to pee outdoors. I can understand being hesitant to do so openly in public view, but it's so very easy for guys to do so discretely and I never understood guys being shy about doing so around their mothers or sisters. Guys seem to think there moms would be offended by such a thing, whereas the opposite seems to be true, most moms actually feel hurt or no longer needed when boys start to seek privacy. In a recent parenting poll one of the most common desires among mothers of teenage boys (87%) was the desire to occasionally see their

It's so very common for people to pee in pools, it's not even seen as naughty by the general public. In an earlier poll here Pee in pools poll 92% of our users confessed we've peed in a swimming pool. 78% of us said we do so while swimming, 50% of us go to the pool when we're sun bathing and in locker rooms, 24% of us wait until we're in the pool rather than peeing in locker rooms. The women I used to know when I used to take my kids to the neighborhood pool made no secret of the fact they were going over to pee sitting poolside. It's nothing to be shy about, everyone pee's there.

No need for men to ever wait.

I always pee in pools, as it was said, even if I didn't have the urge before, the moment the water hits me I do. I've done it since my teens, some 40 years I guess.

certainly, quite frequently actually.

I'm certainly one of those women.

It's certainly not something that would ever offend me in any way, but it does rather irritate me having to take, walk with or wait for a man or boy to find a "proper" restroom. I don't have any desire to secretly observe men, but I do respect men who have the confidence to casually expose themselves without concern. I'm not at all threatened by seeing a mans penis, but instead I feel as though we've established a more personal connection, not sexual, but trusting, as he's revealed himself to a trusted friend.

I see groups of men doing so all the time, but rarely women joining them. I wish women could be as open as men. Like many moms, I literally taught our boys to just piss against a wall if there's a line, but yet society looks down on moms for doing the same.

I've noticed over the years that when a line forms for the mens room, they don't hesitate to find an alternative, such as these Spanish men are doing in the corridors of the football stadium or these guys pissing in front of the sinks and in the entrance alcove. It's only piss and men don't need any fixture to do it into, just spray it out guys.

I find that so many "new people" are afraid of getting caught by friends and especially family. Over the years I've realized that it's much more commonly accepted that we think and there's really no need in being concerned about what others will think. Young men in particular seem to be terrified that their moms will catch them peeing around the house, when actually, most moms believe that men don't need to or even shouldn't use their toilet to pee in.

I'm a middle age mom, but I'm with you on liking exhibitionist men. Any time a man or boy comments he needs to pee, I always suggest they just do it, basically where they are. For years I've told men to just step over to the curb and spray it out into the street, it's the easiest solution and more sanitary than pissing in a doorway or alcove.

That's exactly why lines are so short for them mens room. If there's any wait men just simply pee somewhere else, most women are hesitant to do that, hence we wait.

My sons do so all the time. I can't really say that it makes me horny as such, but I do rather enjoy seeing men in general relieving themselves in public. If anything I would say that I'm quite proud of my boys, both for their boldness around others as well as their being well endowed boys. Horny, not really, but I am happy they're comfortable doing so in front of me and I appreciate being able to watch them. Before anyone cries foul, let me clarify, my boys are in their twenties.

I was in charge of the water quality testing and the management of the chemicals and water treatment. We had about 30 guards on a shift, and another 50 or so support people at the gates, food courts and in cleaning and maintenance. While the support staff working in street clothes tends to use the restrooms most of the day, I can tell you few of the lifeguards do. It's something the guards casually speak of and share with new guards. As you say, guards in the wave pool, lazy river and landing pools commonly sit down at the edge of the pools to relieve themselves. Those working in the water jus

Just to offer up some clarification to the phrase "legal." You'll notice that in most countries, states, cities there are very few "laws" making anything explicitly "legal." In the U.S. you have a "bill of rights" listing things no law may restrict, freedom of speech, ect. , those are about the only laws, legalizing any activity. Instead, most laws make it "illegal" to do something. When there are no laws making something "illegal" it is therefore "legal." I know that throughout the U.S. there are states and cities that have never made laws concerning urinating in public, toplessness or publi

As someone who worked at a water park I can tell you that it's very common for not just guests, but employees to just pee around the park. Guards will often be working the top or bottom of slides for hours at a time, it's commonly discussed between our staff how and where to pee unnoticed at the various stations. While their actions go totally unnoticed through the day, after closing they're much less discrete. Because we're all doing so throughout the day and speak about it between ourselves, after closing time it's common to see a stream coming down off a slide tower, a poolside pee as well

Certainly, although I never really saw the point of them, like guys I miss more than I hit, why not just use the floor?
