That’s what I don’t like about message boards, you can’t inflect tonality, or emotionality or expression & the whole thing often gets misread. If I said it in person though, you’d all be having quite a laugh peeing in you pants. Fun thing about my interpreters is that when they interpret a drunken voice, they pretend to be drunk too. ---

I prefer NOT to because I might be intimidated. In ref. to Dave Barry’s book of men concerning urinals, he’s right. They place those things so damn close to each other that you can rub shoulders while pissing and I don’t like it. I do like the rare few restrooms where they have those small shields or partitions between the urinals. ---

The small partitions they have between urinals do the job nowadays except when a tall man walks up and can’t really help but see over into the next urinal unless he looks straight up. ---

I never look but I often hold my phone over there and take a photo. You’d be surprised how many guys really get the shits about that. ---

I don’t look, but I have turned toward someone when addressed and peed all over their legs. ---

I was shoulder to shoulder at one of those awful trough urinals at a pow-wow and my pee neighbor was fussing with something. I dared look over and he pulled a tube from his shirt and started emptying a brownish reddish liquid into the trough. My own effort came to a screeching halt and I zipped up and left. Nothing but examining the tile work in front of my eyes ever since! ---

I’m one of those guys with a willy that’s nothing to be proud of when un-erect. It grabs the attention of the ladies as its getting aroused though. Anyway … guys often give it a second glance cos it looks so small. You might like to check out this self-confessed nerd.

Okay why did you bump this 15 year old thread? :smack: As for the question concerned; no I don’t look, but there again I try to avoid using urinals wherever possible. ---

Hell no, although back in middle school few kids tried to take a peek at mine. Never understood wanting to look at another man’s penis. I could understand if a guy is into it, and if he manages to get a peek it would not bother me. How did this 15 year old zombie thread got back to life?
