I don't think I'd install a urinal in my home mainly because I don't see the point. It's my house and I can pee in whatever toilet I want! Also, I am a cheap bastard and I think it would cost too much money and time when a simple toilet would do. (I am the type who uses something until not even the duct tape will hold it together, just to save a buck.)

I asked Gilbert, a male, if he agreed. He, too, says that he doesn't see the point of a home urinal.

hell yea it would be great...and more convenient for me at least.

It would be easier to clean (or would I even have to?) and it would never get clogged with excess paper!!

But I would probably prefer one of those urinals where the drain is at or near the floor. There is sometimes "splashback" with the higher up urinals.

No, because I belong to the school of thought that men should be allowed to sit down to piss and relax for a moment just like women do. Just sit down, take a quick look at a magazine, or have a smoke, and definately wipe those annoying little drips off of your junk before they end up on your tighty whiteys. Except of course in public restrooms where urinal pissing is mandatory because of the stall filth.

My next house will definitely have one and I wish my current house did. It makes no sense to waste 2 gallons of water to flush a squirt of piss.

I must have clicked on the wrong website, is this peereport.com … No … it looks like poopreport to me … In that case, it is my opinion that urinals in public restrooms are usually filthy and I would not want to bring that level of filth in the house. My favorite urinals are the ones that hold water in the bottom like a toilet to prevent splash back. I also enjoy using the little spinning targets found in some bars. The targets are there to distract you from the grossness of the urinal. Also, don’t underestimate the pleasant mothball-esque odor of a urinal cake. I think most companies install urinals because they use a lot less water to flush. If you will be the only user 90% of the time, the water savings will be so small, you will never recover the cost. It also displays your fallen pubes for the world to see. I used to be a janitor and I called them public hairs. If you want to pee standing up and not gross out your bathroom, use a tree in your back yard like I do. (Can’t figure out why my favorite yellow pine is dying though.) Lets review: another fixture to clean, splash back, gross floor around the urinal, public hairs … come to think of it, I’m getting one for my bathroom, I’ll install it in the shower and it will be self cleaning.

"I must have clicked on the wrong website, is this peereport.com … No … it looks like poopreport"

Hey that right!! I should have caught that. I must be slipping.

It would certainly be a conversation piece.

TBW,

Why not? If you've thought of installing one it's more cost-effective in new construction rather than replumbing/remodeling five years later after your mug meets your wump on the same side of the fence. Pro: lavatory-bonding memories revisited everytime you tinkle.

Plus, if an asthetic model is selected, it could be considered still-life art (cite: E. Weston's Invalid's Bedpan photo).

My question is when did laundry tubs go out of fashion?

Its just more convenient. Plus, its quieter. I hate pissing when theres company in the house and im 10 feet from them taking a piss. Its so embarressing.

But where to put it? My bathroom has all its walls covered by: sink, door, crapper, shower, window.

A cheap one could be made by duct taping a large funnel( or milk bottle with bottom cut off) to garden hose. This could easily be tied into the sink waste pipe. However, sewer gases would easily enter your house. Alternitavly, run it out the window and water your plants.

I wouldn't mind a urinal in my house. Beats stepping in the puddles left by the boys. Sad part is that the hubby is the one who misses the most. He was away in the army for 5 months and that was the cleanest my bathroom has stayed.

"If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the floor?"

By my reckoning, putting a urinal in the bathroom would eliminate 99.99% of the spats over leaving the toilet seat up. When a guy can take a leak into a urinal, he can focus on using the toilet only for crapping. So, the seat stays down forever. End of toilet seat up-or-down discord.

Laundry tubs? I went to a friends house once because his wife cut hair. I got my hair cut and she washed my hair in the laundry tub in the basement. A couple of days later I was over the same friends house and the dude pissed in the laundry tub. I just sat there thinking to myself, I washed my hair in there. This is an ugly turn of events. Yeck!!!

Wat would be great, would be drains in the floor of the bathroom. Just let fly and wash it down with the hose. The ultimate for us lazy bastards who cant even lift the seat. Also good for getting rid of blood, semen, saliva, beer, etc

Oh wait, they already invented the shower. Damn.

I would do this only if the bathrooms in the house were separate, as in public places. Men's and Women's. His and Hers. Yours and Mine.

A urinal in my shitter would not be a real bad idea, as long as I can have a neon beer light hanging above it.

"[B]lood, semen, saliva, beer, etc." All in one night, KOC?

KOC, the misunderstood artist, taking a walk on the wild side: I can picture it...

Interesting feeback from all you poopers out there. I'll probably go a little more in detail on this when I write up the article on the Ultimate Bathroom and post pics, but the main reason I'm putting a urinal into this bathroom is because of the practicality and convenience.

My companion, Will, and I will be sharing this bathroom, and since we are both Shameless, we have no problem with the concept of one of us on the crapper doing #2 while the other is standing a few feet away doing #1 into a urinal.

Two guys. Why not? BTW, we will have a complete guest bath available to company with the conventional plumbing of toilet only.

"[G]o a little more in detail on this," TBW? I thought the whole purpose of PR was to go a LOT more "in detail."

"Say, has anybody seen my sweet Gypsy Rose Volcano?"

I think a house urinal would be practical for a household of all or mostly men, because it would save a ton of water. However, a urinal would be difficult to retrofit into existing homes, especially older ones like mine, because bathrooms were designed as an afterthought at that time and most of them have very little extra space. When building a new, more spacious house and having input as to the design as TBW is doing, why not go for all the amenities you can afford.

I bet that TBW will eventually become a famous writer after his book gets published and after his passing his house will become a national historic monument, to which hundreds of school field trips will be taken every year. The tour guide will say, "The eccentric TBW was very fond of bathroom fixtures and installed a urinal for his peeing pleasure." Dumps will be taken in the urinal by schoolchildren.

TBW, having been born in 2050 you're visiting us from the future. Am I right?

Nanu, nanu! You are on to me, AB2K! Klaatu, Barada Nikto! I come in peace, however!

And I will haunt any little bastard who dares to take a dump in my urinal after I'm gone. Or shall I say--after I've returned to the future?

I would like a urinal installed under my desk.

TD, who said anything about me doing anything requireing blood, semen, saliva, et al. Any all in one night? Well, we re order the words, first we got drunk, made out, had sex, then I killed her, I s'pose.

Or popped her cherry, KOC...

Anyway, TBW, I never thought of that angle of the two men in one house. However, I also don't piss and shit when my partner is in the room. So I suppose it never occurred to me.

I want a urinal in our home. I'm sick of wiping pee droplets off the toilet seat.

SHows you how small my sex life is, I forgot about cherry-breaking.

Actually the hymen doesn't fully cover the opening of the oriface-it goes around the sides. But when you insert anything more than about 2 fingers width, you will start to see bleeding. Sorry to get into anatomy, just wanted to clear up a misconception.

Not all women bleed when penetrated . . . some don't have hymens at all. The size and position of hymens vary.

Look up hymen surgery and you'll discover that ALL females can become 'born again' virgins.

... Don't have my 'cherry' but I've still got the orignal box it came in....

Damn it, Bunghole! I dislocated my shoulder tonight and you just made me laugh when I shouldn't. It resulted in agonizing pain!

The unrinal would be great for pissing with the morning woodie. No more acrobatic bending.

No more specific aiming= cleaner toilet
less water consumption
my kid who thinks his whizz always goes into the water but is wrong will have cleaner pees and make less messes.

Urinals ROCK!!!

Well aurnial would be cool.We have one bathroom and believe me theres not enough room to fart in our bathroom i have and it stays with you till you leave..And if i made a room just for it there would surely come a time when the one toilet we have is busy and i would need to unload and that urnial mite get more than pee LOL..No i would not unless real real bad you know but see my point..I was thanking about a half bath comode and sink but a urnial and sink and needing to go seems wrong to me..With a toilet you got all you need.But being a man if i had the money you bet i would have one right beside my toilet.AS you all said they do save water....paul

well, there would certinly be less missing by us drunk guys.

poo poo poodio: you mentioned thinking you had clicked on the wrong website--i.e., pee report, not poop report. However, over on the Forums, there are both Pee and Fart Forums to go along with all the Poop Story Forums.

The site has expanded its focus in the last couple of years but still concentrates on bodily functions.

Comments from felmales should be ignored - this is NOT yet another "seat up or down" issue. In my own house the seat is going to be where I put it last and if you're too stupid to look before you sit you deserve to be in the bowl. Now, as for urinals in the house, absolutely. A friend is putting one in and I thought it absurd at first but more and more I like it. Pee on the seat or rim is usually not from "spray" which most women and even a lot of men think - it is actually from the "splash effect" of a stream of urine hitting the water in the bowl from three feet up. That you can't stop. Like the fellow above, I have begun enjoying peeing sitting down, and don't feel a bit less manly because of it. Someone complained about the "grossness" of public urinals and I would like to point out that this is BECAUSE they are for the public, who are generally ignorant slobs at a 10:1 ratio when they don't have to clean or live with the results. All in all I give the "private pisser" a hearty two thumbs up. The benefits far outweigh any percieved negatives.

I get less splash by peeing on the back of the bowl, just above the water. I'd like to have a urinal too, maybe one of the waterless ones. I should live in a business or something so I can have waterless urinals and Sloan valve toilets. Maybe if I open a tavern/inn kind of deal...

We will look forward to TBW's upcoming report on his new ultra-deluxe home bathroom, complete with urinal AND bidet!

Question: Would there ever be a trip to the bathroom that would involve all three?

Pee in the urinal, poop in the toilet, clean up in the bidet. Simple, yes?

Double Flush: I can visualize the sequence you mention above if I thought I only had to pee but then realized I had to poop as well after or during peeing. I think that has happened to many men using public urinals. You realize you need to do something more and move on to the toilet.

I'm actually looking forward to using the bidet for cleanup, especially since we have a septic system. The less TP you put into it over the long haul, the better.

"The Long Haul." Heh, heh, heh--Sounds like a great title for a TWB story!

Yeah Dumpster, awesome idea! I'll be looking forward to that story! I wonder how long the queue is, cause my own story has yet to show up.

A urinal would be nice since I would not have to sit on a wet seat again. Check out http://www.bathroomsurvey.com/

Wet seats in the dorm really suck! And since ass gaskets are of no use, I usually just wipe before I sit. I'm going to wash my ass in the shower later anyway.

Yes, it's called the shower. Gross.

Seriously, I feel that the toilet is good enough for me. I also have a fairly small bathroom, so I have no room for a urinal anyway.

It's not nice to fool mother nature.

I've always wanted to take a dump in a trough so yeah I'd install one in the house. I get these insane urges to defecate in sinks and on the roofs of cars. I'm just a sicko I guess.

Would that be on the *sun* roofs of cars?

i had a urinal installed in our bathroom some years back, it made alot of sence having a large family and a number of boys, its had a world of difernce, as other can use bathroom, and reduced water bills by a large amount

I'm a woman and I definitely want a urinal for my husband. not only would it save water but no more pee on the toilet from him or his friends. at least he's the cleanest of them - they accidentally pee on the floor. i'm very anal about these things so i'll notice even the slightest drop. you know how men can be. it has to be a huge puddle before they at least acknowledge it. even then maybe they will just wipe it up rather than bleaching it. at least my husband is a germaphobe and is nowhere near that bad.

point is....i want a urinal BAD!
