I used t always use the “scrunch down” meathod, but recently i have switched to the fly. why? because i go hands free now, i don’t know why. i just started doing it for no reason, anyways, pulling it over the top just doesn’t work for that, you get sprayed in the face and it just makes a horrible mess. btw, i wear boxers or bower briefs, not that it really matters…
My head is spinning from this discussion. [Franklin Pangborn]Oh my.[/Franklin Pangborn]
Just wanted to give you the information that the pants-at-the-ankles-while-standing-at-the-urinal is a very old and somewhat old-fashioned secret homosexual signal. It means “Anyone interested in coffee and a discussion on the Golden Age of Movies?”.
My source is “So You’ve Decided You’re a Homosexual?” Mattachine Society, University Press, 1956.
You all did the right thing in ignoring it.
I am now going to tell the gang that this discussion is taking place.
Hey Esprix! matt! c’mon over here!
as if it matters, I don’t wear them. Nothing between my boys and you but a thin layer of gaberdine. Well, denim actually…
Further to what Redboss says, it’s now been replaced with significant glances and a slight masturbatory motion.
Anyway, when I used to wear tighty whities (until about age 15 or so) I just yanked it through whatever aperture was convenient. Of course, being pee-shy I usually used a stall anyway, which let me be a little more deliberating about the whole thing.
C’mon, it’s unzip, over the top , do your business and tuck back in. As for soliciting sex in public bathrooms, this red-blooded 100% homosexual is grossed out by the very notion. That is so tacky and offensive. If you want to have sex, at least go into a stall. Ewww!
Since I wear boxers, I use the fly. If you wear them such that the waist of the boxers actually sits on your waist line instead of hangin down, it’s much easier than trying to reach up and scrunch the boxers down to pee over the top.
One thing I have long been confused by when it comes to urinals. When I’m peeing, my legs are straight, maybe I might have to bend a bit at the waist if I gotta figure out where shirt tail’s end and fly’s located, but otherwise I’m always standing straight.
Frequently I see my fellow gents bending their knees in the process of pulling it out or putting it back. Huh???
For a really brief moment I did the “what, his size requires him to bend to find it?” then of course the mental image said that bending your knees isn’t gonna help, you are lowering the part you’d be trying to reach, keeping the distance constant.
So what’s the point of that guys? What are you doing when you’re doin that???

Tighty whities (Hanes Classics, although lately I’ve been trying different kinds lately for kicks). And the sight of a man (except you) in such turns me on. (No, I do not cruise bathrooms - blech!)

Like you, Doug, I abandoned briefs (I loathe that…ahem…other phrase you use, it’s too cutesy) long ago. First, I switched to black, then I switched to boxer briefs (Old Navy makes 'em cheap). What I recall is that when you start, the bending-of-knees is to shake it loose without actually having to rummage around too grossly. And then when you’re done, you’re trying to shake it back into a comfortable place, again without rummaging around grossly. (It also had the happy effect of diminishing any, um, spots that some of us guys are prone to. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read Ann Landers, she covers it.)
See, in order not to look like you’re some nasty self-abusing homosexual, you look like a Tourette’s patient just after electroshock.
(speaking as a nasty…well., anyway)
In my younger days when I was constantly suffering semi engorgement I found that bending in the waist allowed for a little more room to pull the phallus through the fly without drawing attention to myself. The alternative was to undo my belt and undo the button. However there is a moment when two hands are still required for the scrunch down of the under garment, a moment when your pants could fall down, which would draw even more attention.
I wear briefs, although they’re not white (and therefore the cutesy phrase in the title wouldn’t apply). Like many others in this thread, I’m a disciple of the “scrunch down, over the top” method.
Once, though, I tried using the aperture provided in the briefs. It struck me as being an awful lot of work compared with the relative ease and quickness of the standard method.
So I’ve never used it again.

That would imply that not only to you unzip (or button depending on attire) your fly, you’re fastening the waist as well?
Ummm… ok, that may make more sense to me then. The only time I do that is when I’m in my 501s since you can’t really unbutton just the fly of button fly’s without first unbuttoning the top.

Umm… I can see where that motion could have the results you’re mentioning, but it’s no where near as abrupt a gesture as seems to be implied by your post. This is what brought me to my original assumption that they were reaching further down for something, but the physics of that just doens’t work.

The Op on this thread ought to get a subscription to the Journal of Mundane Behavior for this one.
I can’t see how anyone could wear boxers. You’re walking down the street and you are COMPLETELY UNPROTECTED, JUST FLAPPING IN THE BREEZE! That’s not right. I need bikinis. Makes the equipment ride higher. Don’tcha just feel good all under knowing that your unit and family are protected? Besides, chicks dig 'em.
You too, eh.
[hijack] This reminds me of a joke I heard on a Richard Pryor album in the late 70’s;
"These two brothers(soul-type) were coming home from a bar when they got the urge to pee, so they stop on a bridge and go over to the edge and begin to piss, one says, “Man, this water’s cold”, then the other guy says, “Yeah, and deep too”.
