Hey! No Talking!

I've gotten a lot more page views every day with this "stay at home" pandemic. That has resulted in more email questions, too.
Guys have always practiced social distancing in the men’s room. I get the separation etiquette between urinals but what’s the deal with the silent treatment? A buddy and I were in taking a leak and were told to shut up that there’s no talking in there. Ae we not allowed to talk at all? 

The fact that so many men worry about another guy looking at their cock is the reason for the distancing – some go so far as to close themselves in a stall.

Some guys don't care.
But I’ve had conversations with others while standing at urinals - eyes straight ahead, of course - and never once been told to stop. I’ve also witnessed a lot of men talking at the sinks while they wash their hands.


All I can offer is that there is a large percentage of the male population that is “bladder shy” – they can’t piss if anyone is even in the room with them. Others’ chit-chatting makes it all too obvious someone else is present and corks the flow. This is also why, IMO, that men don’t go to the restroom in pairs as women do.

Feel free to talk to your buddy, just be considerate of others who may be in the room trying to take care of business.

First, the pics turned me on a little. I currently have a chub on.
And I've never, ever talked to anybody in a restroom. I lock myself in a stall and that's it.

XOXO

Rest rooms thoughts:
Most guys do not want to be accused of loitering in a rest room.
WTF - when guys are talking on the phone and taking a shit. It must be an important call.
I have changed from using the end urinal to the middle just to see what may happen. Nothing has.
Can piss in front of others but may take longer.
Would like to turn my head to look around but stare straight ahead.

Sometimes I'm a bit "pee-shy" but manage anyway. I'm not much for chatting.

No talking in the bathroom! That is a rule. I read it on the Internet so I know it's true! LOL How funny. I've never heard that rule. So silly. I hope you are doing well. Keep safe and healthy, my Friend. I wish you a beautiful day. Hugs, Licks, and Strokes, AOM

I have used a stall ever since some guy grabbed my dick at a urinal once. Some gay men have no respect. I never understood the pick up thing in a restroom, Aren't they afraid of that being risky? Or worst?

I remember many years ago when at a urologists office, the exam room had a toilet in it. It had a privacy wall which made it kind of dim but I don't remember a door. When I was asked to provide urine sample, I found myself to be a little bladder shy that day. I think it was a combination of the whole situation, the setting and the fact that my dad was basically in the same quiet room with me. I even messed up the sample unknowingly. Being young I did not realize the impact of what I thought were just a few drops of slimy stuff to drip out before I really passed urine. The sample came back and the doc said there was high protein levels or something along those lines. Live and learn I guess.

This is hilarious to me because more than once on a road trip, my friends and I have taken every last urinal, or were tightly packed at the long basin urinal or just formed a line just a few feet from the road. Closer to home, we've had three of us at the toilet at once. I don't get where this shyness comes from.

Watching guys piss in urinals is so hot.

I DO have a problem using urinals if some dad has young boys in there and is teaching them how to pee at one. Something about post-toddler boys chattering loudly makes the bladder turn completely off. This happens a lot at the local Walmart.

That said; otherwise, it's a matter of location. I used to go out bar crawling with a bunch of dubiously straight frat boys who always seemed to need to stop and piss together along the way (weeds, dumpsters, alleys, etc.). Never an issue with rowdy and raunchy conversations during these such stops while we dropped trou for a communal piss, frequently ending with a couple of quick strokes before packing ourselves away then loading back into the car to the next bar.

I know a guy who tries to get guys to whom suck their dicks. He's got very clever!

@ Rad - I can't count the number of buildings, trees, and bushes I've used to take a piss while out and about. I used to have a terrible time trying to piss if someone was around. Being in the military helped me get over that issue. Until I got used to someone there, it seemed my bladder needed to be about to burst before I could piss. Now? Well, sometimes...if it seems like someone is lurking, or staring at my cock.

A couple of strokes before packing away? How else do you properly clear the shaft? :-)

@ Anon, 1:13 - To have someone grab your cock like that is awful. No. Never. That is definitely against men's room etiquette.

whkattk said...

@ Sixpence - Well, the dudes I talk to are ones I know. Only once or twice have I conversed with strangers and they were the ones to talk first.

Yeah, grabbing another dude's cock is sexual assault. (TERFs want to save the R-word for when a man, which they define as including trans women, penetrates a cis woman's vagina, and Obama hired a TERF to define rape. I guess it's progress from referring to women who accused a prominent DLC Democrat of rape or sexual harassment as "bimbo eruptions".)

Hot guys said...

Yeah, you just described me as the one who's bladder shy. It's not gonna happen unless I'm alone. Like, 100% alone. Can be tricky, yes. And LMAO at some of these photos! xD

whkattk said...

@ Hot guys - It took me a while to get over pissing in front of other guys. The military cured me. Being in such close quarters, open gang showers, open urinals...well, at some point you figure everyone has seen your cock in every kind of condition: soft, hard, and in between. And, yes, even jacking off. The bladder finally shrugs and lets go.

its thanks to our dad that we've never been ashamed of our dicks no matter whether we're pissing or jerking off - the 2 rs
