I think separate rooms for male/female will soon become a thing of the past. The world is beginning to wake up to how silly and non-inclusive it is to split people this way. Although, I do see some issues with the more open parts of a men’s bathroom, ie. the urinal. With some sort of wall/partition though, those facilities could easily be fit into a gender less bathroom. Even troughs or other communal urinal solutions could work in that situation.

Has any dude here ever had the chance to use one of those public outdoor urinals? If so, how was it? They’ve had a couple of them downtown where I live. It’s in quite a busy area and they’re quite out in the open so i hadn’t really thought about using them. Until last week, when I was walking downtown and really needed to piss, so I walked up and use one. It was actually pretty awesome to just be able to pee on the street like that! im curious to hear you guys’ experiences though!

Yeah! I’ve walked up there to use that same trough urinal three times since then. It is quite nice to use now that I’ve gotten over the fear of it. Usually I’d sit down near for a few minutes and wait for another gentleman to go in, so I can join him at the trough

I honestly wouldn’t mind at all taking a pee in a trough urinal next to you. You’re welcome at the troughs anytime :))

Yeah, that’s what it was like in the locker room at my school. Big communal shower (that’s never used) with a recessed tiled wall at the back of it, which was the locker room’s urinal. It gets a lot of use, and I had managed to use it a few times over my senior year. It was great, super efficient in terms of space and capacity. Regardless, I’m surprised they don’t have more urinals of that style around nowadays. That was literally some of my only experience with a trough urinal lmao

I actually totally agree! I feel like if I was exposed to the use of troughs through my entire life, I would have had less irrational anxiety issues surrounding my body throughout my teens years. And if you think about it, it just makes sense in terms of efficiency to have a urinal trough in busy areas such as schools, stadiums, parks, etc.

I’ve noticed as a 18 year old male, the era of trough urinals being common place in public bathrooms has long since faded away. I would hear stories of these forgotten relics and wonder how they would have worked. These days, everyone my age and beyond is so obsessed with privacy and individuality, we have completely forgotten that we are all just men, with the same parts down there as any other boy or man. It’s completely commonplace for guys (at least my age) to go their entire lives using stalls in public, or not even bothering to use the bathroom in public at all, out of fear of havin
