Naughty News Update

I think this Senator-in-the-toilet story is going to have real legs because, speaking on behalf of straight people everywhere, there is nothing we find more titillating than gay sex in public washrooms.

It has a high yuck factor and an equally high mysterious angle that leaves us endlessly wondering why and how this happens.

Some of the newscasters I’ve seen appear so dense it makes me wonder if they’ve never seen Prick Up Your Ears.

Everything I ever wanted to know about anonymous public washroom cruising I learned from Gary Oldman.

...I'm sorry, but I have trouble peeing in public washrooms because I think they're filthy and disgusting, so you can just forget me wanting to lean against a contaminated sink or stall door to have a good time...unless of course that washroom happens to be at Whiskey bar, where everything is so pretty (just to get an idea, the urinal is one big fountain-like thing you pee directly into...the first time and only time I went there I was amazed that the men's room would have such a large decorative waterfall and no urinals in the washroom. I was later informed what it was, so I never had the opportunity to pee into the cascade. Damn!)

So there was nothing you had to flush with your feet?

Wait a sec. The urinal is a big fountain? So everyone is facing everyone else in the open while they pee? That is SO gay.

sounds like the handwashing station at my old elementary school
(little did I know)

The handwashing station? I love that term. We had that in high school and called it the birdbath.

Actually, fountain may not be the right term...it was along one wall and it was water cascading down...so, in reality, you're all peeing into the same "fountain" but still standing beside each other as if you were at the urinals...the only thing being that there is obviously no set limitation as to how close you can stand next to someone else...but following proper bathroom etiquette you would not want to crowd your pee partners.

I believe those types of urinals are common in Europe and Asia. Not that I am some kind of urinal expert.

...but I should add that it was not made of porcelain or anything "toilet-y"...it was a big silver art-nouveau panel-like thing with a slow cascading flow from above illuminated by pretty ambiance lighting overhead...Tinkling has never been so arty.

wow, impressive bathroom, that

also male bathroom and locker room etiquette is so mysterious: where and when to look or not look, how close to stand etc. I don't even know--do men look at themselves in the mirror? do they fix their hair? I guess chatting up the dude fixing (or not) his hair at the next sink is out too, eh?

We've gotten this far in the comments and nobody has used the word "wang" yet. Wow!

what restraint

oh, you'd be surprise what goes on in a male locker room and washroom!
If there is one thing I cannot stand, it's the "talking at the urinals" Some people will just start a conversation as if you were sitting at a cafeteria table. I usually want to say, "please don't talk to me, I'm peeing!"...that is why, if ever I walk into the washroom at work and there is someone at the urinals, I will usually head to a stall for fear of having to make that dreaded light conversation (I mean, I hate that forced conversation at the coffee station, let alone while tinkling)

And as for locker rooms, men just saunter around naked. They are very rarely inhibited. You don't have to worry about looking at someone's "wang", because everyone's just letting it all hang out anyway. Showers are usually community; on the rare occassion that they are individual stalls, they certainly do not have curtains or any such thing. People will stand naked under the blow dryers...that is why I find it so easy to get naked in front of a male doctor or masseur, because it is really just an extension of locker room mentally. Besides, all them naked man strutting around, mmmm! delicious!...makes me wonder why I am not signed up with a gym.

I assume women are private and try as much as possible to get dressed under their towels?

Ladies locker room behavior is really varied. It runs the gamut from standing around naked chatting (I, in fact, had a conversation with a naked woman just last week. What was the topic? Staff cuts) to people like me who would love to own a burka just for the gym. Actually, I'm not that bad. I'll just face the wall when I've got my top off rather than flashing the whole room.

thank you bathroom and locker room sages, all
