Men's underwear, fly or no fly?

Trying to get a turkey head out of there might radically change my technique.

Yep, I think this is probably the root of it. I made a conscious effort the last couple times I visited the restroom and tried the double-fly method. The way my pants* line up with my boxer-briefs, the waist band is right at the top of the zipper opening on my pants and easy to access to pull down, whereas I have to dig down pretty far to reach the underwear flap. There you have it.

*No, these are not some Steve Urkel pants, just regular old Dockers and I’m of average height.

Exactly. Why would someone purposely pinch their urethra thereby increasing the chance of the Garden Sprinkler effect?

Can’t answer the poll, are we talking boxers or briefs?

With conventional boxers using the fly is fine. With tight briefs I just pull the front downwards rather than try to fish the junk through the offset fly.

Well, thanks to you guys I tried fly fishing at work yesterday, and then, due to the change in routine, forgot to zip my trouser fly back up afterwards.

I noticed at about 7:00 when I got home from work. :smack:
Kilroy-style is still better.

The poll results disagree with you. So do the poll results of the other thread, though in a slightly different way.

I’ve tried using the fly. It’s too cumbersome. Once I unzip the Eye of Sauron, I now have bob and weave my way through the Mines of Moria. First I have to get past the tucked in shirt, trying to find the part. Then I have to find the part in the underwear. If the button on it is buttoned, then I have to unbutton it. If it isn’t buttoned then the One-Eyed Trouser Snake invariably has worked its way out. While this is easier for micturition, it provides quite an annoyance as I go walk-about and it rubs everywhere. Then with it pulled out, unless all the clothing is aligned, it has to bend around to see the light of day. That makes relaxation difficult. Then I have to pull it far enough away that the crotch material of the pants has no chance of getting dripped upon. Instead, with the accoutrements safely ensconced under the testes, I don’t have to worry about friendly fire.

I should probably be embarrassed to admit that I have been experimentally making an effort to go through the flies on a consistent basis, to see if it is something I’ve just never gotten around to learning the knack of. (I hate the possibility that I might be doing it wrong, and am confounded by the people who assert that through-the-fly is so natural and easy that they’ve never even considered an alternative.)

Most of the week was only run-of-the-mill awkward and difficult. I usually wear regular boxers like this together with dress pants. Time from taking the stance to being ready to relax the urethral sphincter averaged about twelve seconds, compared with just three for unbuckle-and-over. (I wouldn’t want to attempt this at a row of urinals.)

Today, though - Jesus. Today is casual Friday, so I’ve got jeans and some smaller boxers. These boxers have a fly which is only 2.5" in height and fastened with a single snap, in addition to being offset from my pants fly by a couple inches. I really cannot believe that this thing is meant to be anything apart from decorative. Just the time spent trying to manage the snap while it’s inside another fly was ludicrous, and after that was accomplished it only provided the narrowest of openings. Getting in through the two flies to grasp willy was difficult, and it was raked against the snap on the way out. Ouch. Letting go of the jeans fly, its natural tendency to close resulted in willy being indented on the right side .25" by rough canvas. More rubbing trying to rearrange myself after , and had to adjust the lay of it by reaching in through the waist, anyway.

I actually feel like my cock has been beaten up in ways it hasn’t been since I was thirteen. I am not going to try that again with these clothes. Wow.

So, do you through-the-fly peeing guys still go that route when when your boxers have a snap fly? Or would a tendency to go through the fly simply cause someone to pass over snap-fly underwear as ridiculously impractical? Or does it make sense to you to fiddle about with additional closures with your hand in your pants fly?

Just because I pee through the fly some of the time doesn’t mean I do so all of the time.

Some underwear has a fly (as in your case) that just isn’t usable so by default it’s over the top.

Sometimes I’m only wearing underwear and it’s easier to go over the top than through the fly.

Some clothes have no fly on the outside so it’s over the top.

Sometimes I’m wearing loose fitting clothes where it’s quicker to go over top top than fish it out.

Sometimes I want to retuck in my shirt so I go over the top as long as I’m unbuttoning everything.

But the rest of the time - if everything is aligned - it’s through the fly. Ye Gods men, this is a priviledge! The ability to pee without getting undressed. Enjoy it!

Please do not elaborate on that.
I will pay you money.

…when my mom still did my laundry and went nuts with the starch.

Better? :stuck_out_tongue:

Now that fly awareness is on the rise I’d like to see this poll readdressed in a month or so. How many men who have decided to experiment with the fly will convert? Will it be high enough to change the status quo?

Wow! Only one other person besides me, that will admit to not wearing underwear. :stuck_out_tongue:

I wear Wrangler (boot cut) jeans most (~98%) of the time, and wearing ***anything ***under them is limited to ‘longjohns’, when I ride my motorcycle in cold weather.

And whats so strange about sitting down to pee? :confused:
I sleep ‘au naturel’, so it only makes logical sense to ‘sit’, if I wake up in the middle of the night with the need to urinate. (Hell, even if I did wear underwear, I would still sit down in that circumstance.)
Stop and think about it…
If you’re in your own home, you can probably (at least, I can) find your way to the bathroom with your eyes closed! (Unless you just moved in there, say, a week ago! :rolleyes:) Why turn on the light and blind yourself?
When its so much easier to just sit down. You’re guaranteed to ‘hit the target’, with the added bonus of ***not having to remember ***to put the seat back down! :wink:

Dancing, on the other hand… meh, its certainly not, something I specifically go out to do.

I do it differently depending on the type of underwear I’m wearing. I’m surprised no one mentioned peeing through the leg hole in his briefs? As a kid I used to try and snake my penis through the flaps of my briefs, and finally figured out it would be easier to just grab the right leg hole with my left hand and stretch it across to the other side, to allow me to pull my dick out through the right leg hole and pee. When I wear boxer-briefs I always go over the top, and I usually use the fly for regular boxers. I don’t often wear regular boxers due to lack of support for my balls and the fact that my dick spontaneously goes through the fly hole, sometimes getting stuck in that position and forcing me to find a bathroom to correct the problem.

When I was young, I stuck my penis through the fly of my briefs but as I got older I changed. Now, I just pull the briefs to the side when I pee standing up. But if I’m at home I’m usually not wearing clothes at all, so there’s no reason to stand up. I pee sitting down and give my knees a rest. Less splatter that way, not to mention way fewer arguments with the women folk.

It’s fascinating! I need to ask my husband how he pees. He may finally decide this message board has made me insane.

Good God, if men have this many problems with their own underwear, no wonder a bra strap seems to be some incomprehensible Chinese finger trap!

My boyfriend wears boxer briefs, I gotta ask him how he pees. I won’t tell him I was reading this thread first, I want to see his reaction!

Gentlemen, we have stumbled into something very, very dangerous for us all.

Poll fail. I pull Mr. Happy out through one of the leg holes. My underwear doesn’t have a pee port anyway.
