"I live in the California high desert. Been here my whole life and we always pissed outside even when I was a kid. With the extended drought I think it's even more important to save water where we can. My wife hates that I go outside. What's your opinion of taking a whizz outside?"
The short answer: I'm with you.
One of the benefits of having a cock is the ability to find the nearest bush or tree or side of a building when we have to pee.
Since we live in a drought-stricken area, I took to pissing outside a long, long time ago. If every male did what he could to avoid having to flush a toilet or a urinal we could save hundreds of thousands of gallons of water every day. I think if women didn't have to wipe dry, they'd be on board with it.
But, if it will save you strife in your relationship, consider using a bottle or jar.
Or in the shower.
For anyone who might think a sink or shower a bit gross --- consider: Every drain in the house is connected to the same main sewer line.

He could install a urinal outdoors, of course.
Much more practical. The sink? No.
XOXO
pee where you want. That's my idea!
Entierement d'accord pour pisser dehors ou sous la douche, ce que je fait j'ai la chance d'avoir un jardin...
L'urine contient des oligoéléments qui sont de tres bons engrais pour la nature alors pourquoi s'en priver et soyons écélo.

I totally agree to piss outside or in the shower, which I do I am lucky to have a garden ...
Urine contains trace elements which are very good fertilizers for nature so why deprive ourselves of it and let's be ecelo.

When nature calls it calls! But I don't go out of my way to pee outside.
I'm all for peeing outside when that's the only option. However, I would think that if it's done in one's backyard, peeing in various places would be preferred since peeing in only one place might begin to smell. I'm only guessing.
Fascinating. I love peeing outside. And... I don't have an issue with peeing in the shower or the sink. Think about a urinal. How is any different? It just means you clean every day.
It is not good to curb a strong urge to pee. It is painful and damaging. The best is to pee as quickly and as closely as possible. The place where one relieves oneself is not the most important.
Hugs and bisous, my darlings Jean and Pat.
@ Rick - It can. Every once in a while my wife complains about odor. But for the most part it's completely undetectable. I've wanted to install a urinal in the 1/2 bath and she doesn't like that idea. Says she doesn't want to have to clean it - or look at it. She's gotten used to me taking a whizz outdoors. LOL.
@ Jeff - I agree with you. It can be good for the plants as long as it's not too acidic. Good to see you commenting again!
@ Mistress - I imagine it could be difficult living in an apartment or condo complex.
@ Six - The sink? Washing of the hands cleans the sink, no? XOXO
I'm diabetic/2, which encourages urination. As do some of my meds! So when I come home from shopping, I'm usually ready to empty... next to the car. And when I'm mowing lawn... sometimes 2 or 3 times, right out in the open next to the mower.
Fortunately, my yard is back from the road and isolated, so I only have too worry about scaring deer, moles, groundhogs, and turkeys.

When outdoors, is that using your treesources?
Interesting to me that men who pee outside will often (not always, as we can see from the pictures) look for something to pee onto - tree, rock, wall. I wonder what part of our lizard brain compels us to do that. One of the entrepreneurial opportunities I've thought of, but never acted on, is to make urinals shaped like tree trunks so we could have the sensation of peeing outside even indoors. (Love the bucket urinals, BTW.)
I must admit when I let the dog out to pee at night, I often take advantage of the darkness myself.
My older brother was only two years older than me and not 100% potty trained, my grandmother told him to pee in bushes if he had to!!! He still will pee outside!!
I have always been taught that urine is pretty sanitary, so I checked it out and this is what I found:
"Urine contains a very low amount of bacteria—less, in fact, than what's normally lingering on your skin—and it's healthy bacteria. So go ahead, whip it out in the shower. Your jeans will be cleaner and your lawn will be greener." another quote: "You picked up more than your share of dirt, mud, and who knows what else on your skin or in your hair during your day. You’ve probably washed far less sterile things than urine off your body and down the drain." Yep, all true.
Hugs and bisous.
I go out every early AM and do my morning pee off my porch, buck naked.. because I can!
Interesting post. There is one negative for peeing outside wherever. In Africa, a person infected with belharzia (schistosomiasis) if they pee near a lake, it can cause the lake to become contaminated and infect anyone who touches the water. That isn’t a problem in the US currently, but with all those coming in without a health check that could introduce it to our country.
@ Jean - Thanks! I really didn't know. Like you, I'd heard it was fairly sterile, but never researched it. Hugs and bisous.
@ Anon, October 27, 2021 at 8:25 PM - That's a frightening thought.
@ Descamiscado - That's a good question. I don't know why we typically will search for a bush or tree or ***something*** to piss on rather than just plain ground. Maybe to reduce splash?
To my intense disappointment, society never implemented composting toilets in a big way to reduce water usage and to recycle waste: when implemented properly I understand there is no odour because airflow is directed into the toilet bowl and out a pipe above the house.
I understand that a urinal manufacturer, understanding the interest in men peeing at a target and to reduce aiming away from the bowl, embedded an outline of a fly in the glaze with positive results.
As for the interest in peeing at a target, perhaps it stems from the vestige of an ancestral requirement to mark territory in a similar way to a dog cocking his leg at an object.
@ Anon - You are correct. About the odor from composting toilets. And about the fly in the urinals. I think the original design was a special order because someone got tired of mopping. Giving guys something to aim at kept them from pissing all over the floor. Brilliant!
The problem is composting toilets attract roaches.
Remember to rotate your spots.
Okay, a couple stories here. First, yeah, pissing outside is actually good toilet training. When it was warm enough, that's what us boys would do When we were one or two. (I should add, the shape of the foreskin helps direct the urine stream.)
TBH, one advantage of country roads over the interstate is being able to pull over for a puss just about anywhere.
I pee outside all the time and always have. I tend to be "pee-shy" at urinals when other men are around, but I can pee outside any time any place. I used to say, "I can't pee in public, so I have to pee in public."
Peeing in the shower is fine unless you are in a public shower. Most gyms or clubs will toss you out on your ear if caught in the act or reported. That's reasonable in a public place and that's why gyms and such, have urinals. Not sure I'd want to walk around in someone's piss of "unknown" quality, if you get my drift. Most guys were rubber flip flops (wisely)into a public shower but if a guy forgot them or one broke, he may still go in to shower bare foot.
Just not cool to piss where someone else might have to walk/bath barefoot. Outside? Hey go for it if the urge calls but again, discretion to avoid arrest...lol.
Mind your manners in public.
