A thread on reading on the toilet made me think of this - while doo-doo’ing, I’ve always kept one hand on my penis in order to keep it from touching the inside of the toilet bowl, which is overwhelmingly disgusting to me. Just the mere thought of it accidentally touching the bowl is enough to give me shivers.
Based on men talking about reading on the toilet, and what I’ve seen in movies and on TV, it seems that most men allow their penis to rest against the inside of the bowl.
Is this standard practice, or do more people, like me, keep a hand down there to keep the dingus from touching porcelain?
Nah. It is just barely long enough, but it does touch the toilet bowl. FWIW, I seldom need to use public restrooms and mostly then just to urinate. So, those toilet insides my pee pee touches belong to me or friends.
Hub uses a bit of toilet paper between him and the porcelain. The ex used to just manipulate it between his thighs so that it stayed away from the rim.
Not being a dude, I can’t even imagine having ANY dangly bits around the toilet bowl. ew.
Are all the toilets really small where you live? Do you sit at the front of the toilet? Mine hangs down into “space” and I sit far enough back so that it’s not close to the front wall. Seriously, readjust your seating position!
Not to be prissy, but the inside of any bowl just ain’t clean. I don’t care if you’ve got the whole damn throne in an autoclave just before I got there. It’s weirdly unclean. Maybe it’s all in my mind, but that’s why I dangle.
I don’t have the inside bowl problem, unless I’m aroused, and at that point, you really just need to decide which is more important. I do have the “bigger” problem of the tip dipping into the water, however. That elicits a hasty readjust.
Really? No mixing and matching? Me- all toilets not my own- no touch (pretty easy since in those scenarios Im looking to be done as soon as possible) At home? Who gives a crap? I’m reading, and really can’t be bothered by such minor concerns.
Since I doubt there is a scholarly article out there which will answer this, I’ll move it to IMHO, where you can take a poll. [sub]Hehe. He said “poll.”[/sub]
Sometimes it will touch, but that’s gross, so I try to keep a couple fingers on it near the base tugging it up a little bit. I’m almost inevitably surprised when it happens, because I’ll be fine at first, but then the prostate gets stimulated a bit and the thing gets a bit longer, and then all of a sudden I’m on the bowl or in the water. Gross.
Now I understand how and why I have seen toilets with shit on the rear of the rim and seat. If your dongle is in the center of the toilet your onus is not where it should be.
It brushes against the rim pretty much every time I’m not sitting in one of those extra-long toilets. I usually try to get it resting against the inside rim of the seat so it doesn’t touch any part of the bowl proper. It’s one of those things I just have to steadfastly refuse to think about, or I’d have a nervous breakdown every time I took a dump.
I just noticed this problem a few years ago, when I moved into an apartment in Boston. I thought it was because we had old fixtures. But my less than 5 year old house’s toilets have this issue, and yes, if you adjust so you “dangle” you will have excrement on the back of your seat.
Having your nasties touch the underside of the toilet seat is f***ing disgusting. You realize that shit particles fly up there after every flush, right?
Public lavvies are mostly okay, because they tend to have that split seat deal so your wang is somewhat unfettered by the plastic.
Are so many of us with huge undercarriages, or did the engineers get this wrong somehow?
Every so often somebody will say something that will make me realize how weird it must be to be a man. This is one of those times.
The last one is when somebody here pointed out that a man’s ball-innards move around like “the poor man’s lava lamp”. Himself was kind of weirded out by the subsequent scrutiny.
