In Australia, shower takes piss out of YOU!
Also, American toilets have more water in them than Irish toilets. I dunno how much that impacts the amount of splash on floor when standpeeing.
I stand up, even being a two-streamer.
Sometimes, however, it’s impossible to get both in the toilet while using reasonable pressure, I’ll sit rather than mop up.
what is this “two-streamer” thing you guys keep mentioning?
Exactly what it looks like. One dick, two streams, varying angles (sometimes about 90° on the horizontal axis and 45° on the vertical one).
I’ve been peeing for 50 years and never knew this. Ignorance fought, I guess. What causes this?
to standpee, to sitpee, I like it.
Being female, I wasn’t aware this was possible. How does one urethra produce two streams? (I’d just ask my husband, but he isn’t home right now.)
In Australia?? hahahahahahaha
I better jump in quick before people’s imaginations run wild.
It’s just a tiny bit of mucous or something from the inside dries over part of the opening. Usually the pee stream would clear it, but sometimes you suddenly find your pee stream split in two going all over the place.
Thanks for the info. I wouldn’t have even thought of that, not having the relevant equipment.
The male urethral orifice (meatus) is not round but a sort of slit with fleshy lobes on either side. If the urine stream is strong, it will come out as a unitary flow, but if the pressure is too low to push the lobes apart, the urine will go to the upper and lower gaps and form two streams, or sometimes it comes out as a sort of sheet that converges like a triangle before dividing into two streams.
Of course, every penis is different (collect yourself an entire set!) some men have less of an issue than others.
In my case it happens more than 50% of the time, it’s not a temporary “clotting”. Apparently, the meatus’ length causes it.
Yeah… but it happens occasionally, and usually after a really fun night. And, it isn’t a bit of dried “mucous”… you know what it is. At most it happens for half of a second, while you are rubbing the “crust” out of your eyes, you realize what is happening, and you stop and rub the “crust” out of the other eye. Back to a normal flow. Then you grab your cloths and try to leave without waking her.
A 90 degree “side stream” isn’t at all normal for the duration of the piss.
For us older folk.
Isn’t it easier to shake off the excess while standing? It certainly is for me.
Science done poorly is no science at all.
(Left out a qualifier. How embarrassing!)

The girls do, not the men.
