Hereā€™s the press release for the [Masculine Toilet](https://www.prlog.org/12395827-inventvillagecom-announces-the-marketing-launch-of-the-masculine-toilet.html). > [@](#): > > The average male genitalia is between 5" and 6". However, this invention is designed for those of us who measure longer than that. I estimate that a 12" distance is adequate enough for most well-endowed men, though I would not be surprised if there are cases who need a greater distance. Nevertheless, for the time being, this is a good starting point. An ā€œextra longā€ [XL] version can always be created if needed. Then there are those unfortunates who canā€™t even urinate in the toilet from a standing position without getting the end of their dingus wet. Wonā€™t someone think of _them_?ā˜¹ ---

Oh, for fuckā€™s sake. If a man is _that_ well endowed, canā€™t he just wrap it around his thigh like a pet snake while heā€™s seated? How many times must a fellow literally dip his wick in order to remember to rescue the offended appendage before it hits the pool? He needs a special loo? A man too stupid to think his way through this process certainly shouldnā€™t be appointed as an acting AG! :dubious: ---

Or did someone already do that one? Seriously, is it that much an imposition to hold onto it for 20 seconds when you pee.

You could lose anā€¦ erā€¦ something important. My first husband went to a boysā€™ school decades ago and he told me they used to light cherry bombs and then flush them down the institutional toilets. Iā€™m guessing that wouldnā€™t happen much in an all-girlsā€™ school. At least not in the 1960s. ---
