As in, you pee between a girl’s legs when shes on the toilet (or your husband does it if you’re a female) to save time. ---

The last male to try that was John Wayne Bobbitt. ---

Hmm. And this read like an August 2015 joiner. Guess you can’t always tell. ---

Sounds remarkably classless. I just pee in the sink instead. ---

I threaded the needle just tonight whilst watching TV with my sweetie sitting opposite me across the room. Finally got that rip in my formerly best pair of jeans mended to some extent. ---

I have to ask how much time this would actually save. But then, my house has one bathroom for each person who lives here, so this is never really a problem. But even when we only had one bathroom, it was still never a problem. ---

I don’t believe anyone would do this for utility (i.e. ‘to save time’), at least not more than once with the same female. Once she’s been sprayed with piss (which is almost inevitable), it will only happen again if she likes being pissed on. ---

I notice that the OP hasn’t taken the poll himself. Urban Dictionary’s take on “Thread The Needle”. (Not really safe for work.) [spoiler][http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Thread+the+Needle[/spoiler]It](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Thread+the+Needle%5B/spoiler%5DIt) does not mention the OP’s definition, at least not at the moment I type this. Not that the definitions it does have don’t include some disturbing ones. Note especially numbers 3 and 5. ---

I refuse to answer this because it is heteronormatively offensive; why does the couple have to be man-woman? It is also sexist; why can’t the woman pee standing up? (Obviously, you’ve never been in a softball team’s locker room.) I’m also deeply offended by the obvious Islamophobia; why is needle singular? Can’t a man piss through all four wives’ legs at once? The ladies could sit on laps and have a nice little golden waterfall afterward. This OP has way too many offensive stereotypes embedded in it for me. ---

My house has two toilets… …and good manners. :smack: ---

I can’t say that I have ever done it but I am envious of the OP. It must be very stimulating to lead a life so thrill laden that even the time taken to have a piss can prove critical. Heaven knows what he does, or what it’s called if he has a different call of nature mid adventure and the girl is on the toilet. ---

My EX had thunder thighs so that wasn’t going to work. So I just pee’d in her mouth instead figuring that sooner or later those water molecules would still end up where they needed to be. It also had the advantage of drowning out her incessant bitching as well. ---

Why? If worse comes to worse there is usually a sink handy somewhere. ---
