Peeing around women

[Deleted]

You pee into the back of that , you dont go inside it to pee.  Is it okay to pee in it when women are present?  It is on a jobsite.  At first I didn't then I really  needed to pee so I did.

[weltschmerz]

I guess you pee behind the toilet at home?

[mmhmm]

If you gotta go, you gotta go. I don't see any problem with that. You're not exposing yourself for the heck of it, and I'm sure most men are capable of some discretion. Women can turn away if they wish.

[Tennesseer]

It looks a little less classy than some of the pissoires in European cities.

[milee]

I'm the wrong one to ask. As one of the few women on the race course I'm used to guys peeing around me. No head on a race boat.

It is all about your attitude, get with the program or get out.  What is your problem with a simple task?

[mroped]

From what I gather, it has an urinal type of thing on the outside right?
If that is the case than I don't see any problem with it since it was designed for that purpose. It just depends on how prude can one be or how confortable with it!

[Pants]

I pee around women all the time, I don't see what the big deal is...?

[Deleted]

I live where cornfields, bushes, and trees are all acceptable urinals so it wouldn't bother me any if a man was peeing into that.

  I'm confused, is there a urinal on the outside of this? And women are supposed to use the inside? (or men if they go #2)? I'm just visualizing a guy pissing on the back wall of the portapotty...

yes there is a urinal on the back of it for guys to pee into.

Please explain more about this new thing that I have never seen before.  I might have to use one someday and I don't want to look naif.  I'm confused about the urinal in the back bit.  Does it save time and the unpleasantness of being in a relatively enclosed space with lots of human waste?  Is it designed that way to allow one person to use the inside and one the outside?  Does the urine collected in the back go to a separate tank simplifying disposal and emptying issues?  Is there any TP in the back?  (Sorry, I just had to ask.  I'm sort of getting the impression that investigating the back of one of these contraptions, should I ever encounter one, would be considered prurient. I'm not built to use the back, so I'd be embarrassed to investigate.) 

I think it's okay to use one of these when women are around but my background is pretty similar to MPL's.  I'm pretty used to men taking a whiz pretty much anywhere that they like as long as they don't expose themselves to me or make a puddle that I'm likely to step in or smell.  More urbane folks may have different standards.

Hmmm.. tried to google to find it but only got the fully enclosed port-a-potties.

I don't have a problem with it... assuming it's someplace appropriate - like a job site or between the buildings down at the local bar (cause the women are using both bathrooms inside and the guys need some place to pee other than the side of the building.) Something that small might be more manageable than the traditional port-a-pottie that requires a flatbed truck and a winch... Something like that could solve some of the peeing in public problems during the summer.

I could see where maybe at large festival type things maybe they'd have the "men's area" with these set up - just to help open up the enclosed port-a-potties for the women... not to shield women from seeing men's naughty bits.

 
As for using it... I suggest  being confident  (I'm with Haapai and want to know more about it) - odds most people will 'look the other way' as long as you don't make them WANT to look. 

[Cookies Galore]

I've peed in paper coffee cups in the back of a van. Or have had dudes use the car door as a "modesty" shield during tailgate parties. The wall of sound porta-a-potty isn't a big deal.

[haapai]

Why are you ashamed of telling us about his shy kidneys?  We don't know him and a bashful bladder is hardly rare.  Someone has to speak up for the folks who can't pee unless they are alone enough. 

I can think of several ways in which this new-fangled thing might be an improvement on the traditional port-a-potty.  Airiness is a good thing in unplumbed toilet facilities.  Segregating liquid and solid waste or at least minimizing the volume of mixed waste is also quite exciting.  Having guys do most of their pissing (and missing) somewhere else is also a plus.  This gal is quite excited about what this new, blue thing might offer. 

But I don't want to make life miserable for guys like your husband and there are lots and lots of guys like your husband.

I suppose if it's on a job site and that's what it is for, one wouldn't be inappropriate for using it.    If I were a man (and if I understand how this thing works), I would be a bit put off at the lack of privacy for myself.  I'm more modest than most, so maybe that's not even a concern for others.

[haapai]

A lot depends on how the back is built.  It's pretty amazing how an inch or two of alcove in the back or a few inches more on the bottom of the front door can dramatically change the perception of privacy. 

My initial reaction to the front door is to wish that it were a smidge lower but the picture might be misleading. 

ETA:  I'm also a bit leery of relieving myself in or behind a structure that is on coasters or has a winch attachment connected to it.  I've heard a few stories about occupied outhouses (over pits) being tipped over (often onto the door) and I need a moment to think about the nasty possibilities that coasters and winch-wires make possible.  They're probably not as horrific as the tipped on the only door variety but I do need to think for a moment.

Nope, looks like something out of my nightmares!!! I have had many, many dreams about being in a stall similar only the door is short at the top and my head is visible as well   That door better damn well cover your whole person and the men should have privacy as well. I'm not a prude, but I want privacy while using the restroom in a public setting.

It's not a stall you go inside, there's a urinal on the back.

Oh, for some reason I thought the front was for women to go in and the urinal was in the back. I just don't understand why it can't be more private. I guess it's just me.

I thought the same thing. I thought the door was for a sit-down for either men or women.

I guess it does have a seat inside as well as the urinal on the back.  It's meant for high rise construction sites where a regular port a potty would be inconvenient.

Yeah you actually can and if you need to have a BM or are a woman you must use it from the inside.  These days it probably is uncommon to have a bigger job without at least one woman.  This is a port a john for high rises.  So the workers go up in the morning and might not come down all day.  Some jobs might come down for lunch but some might not event then.

This has pics of the inside.  www.callahead.com/porta-potty/hi-rise/high-rise.html

ETA Jinx MPL we were posting at the same time.

[MarleyKeezy78]

Ok, these are for works sites, I missed that. I suppose if they are up and out of the way they would be ok. I thought they were just putting them out on the sidewalk for everyone   I was thinking aww hell naaaw!!!!!

Well if the choices are them using one of them or peeing/pooping in a bucket I think these are way better.

And don't even want to get started on how many probably just peed over the side onto whatever, and whomever, is below.

[tloonya]

I am just hoping this thread will not inspire another one

Is this ok to poo in front of women?

Otherwise I don't care. Actually I just don't get it. How do you pee

in this thing and why there are supposed to be women?

And I just remembered once in Europe - there are restrooms

unisex and they are only covering half of a person so you get in and

you see who does what but you can't see actual doing it.

I was petrified! You can see half of the man who is standing peeing

and woman's head who is sitting doing her stuff right next to him...

It was a fancy restaurant. In Paris. No thanks

[Miss Tequila]

Around here construction sites are still mainly a guy's domain. So I think it's fine. As a woman, I don't want to see men pering openly like that. Im not 20 and drunk at a concert. I expect to not seeing a man whipping out his penis to pee

[happyhoix]

Meh. I lived in Europe for 10 years and, at least at that time (years ago now) there was a very casual attitude towards men peeing. Not unusual to see a guy pull his car over to the side of the road, then stand there and pee. (They did always face away from traffic).

Of course, you could also see naked people on TV, too, and once, when I had to go do a sports physical for a license to go horse back riding, they lined a flock of naked girls up in a hallway while we waited to go in to see the doctor, and I was the only one who seemed embarrassed to be bare ass naked in front of strangers.

It's our puritanical heritage, I think.

[imawino]

Meh. Seen one penis, you seen 'em all!   And I'm guessing unless you go around the side and peer down at his junk, you're not going to actually see it. If just knowing that it's there troubles you, that can't be helped. It's there when their pants are zipped too.
