Subject: RE: BS: On Being Male From: GUEST,SINS Date: 29 Jan 14 - 10:37 AM Allan, dear. Retirement is apparently weighing heavily on your mind. Get a hobby or you'll end up like Spaw permanently stuck in the bathroom. For the record: getting up in the morning is my worst complaint. Doesn't matter if it is 5AM or noon time, leaving a nice warm bed piled with snuggly cats is hell. |
Subject: RE: BS: On Being Male From: catspaw49 Date: 29 Jan 14 - 11:40 AM Why thank you Sins but there is a problem males encounter as they grow older. In youth our balls are almost tight and ride wonderfully just below the dick, a proud three piece set. As we age they begin to sag similarly to a woman's tits. Here's the problem....... You first notice this phenomenon when you accidentally sit on your balls. This is a bit shocking but we learn to adjust and cope. A few more years pass. Now here is the biggie! Although a woman's boobs might be hanging low, not even the longest and biggest dangle into the toilet water when they sit down! This is unpleasant for a variety of reasons which I feel no need to list here. You learn to overcome this but the danger of "wetsack" are always lurking. Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: On Being Male From: GUEST,Ed T Date: 29 Jan 14 - 12:14 PM I have excellent "toilet aim" (I take pride in my marksmanship) I never experience the "tea bag effect" and I never slosh water about in the shower. Maybe it's the "woman in me" ? |
Subject: RE: BS: On Being Male From: GUEST, topsie Date: 29 Jan 14 - 12:21 PM One summer I saw an elderly man wearing shorts that were ... well ... short. From above, as he would have seen them, they probably looked just fine. From the side, it was NOT a pretty sight. |
Subject: RE: BS: On Being Male From: Claire M Date: 29 Jan 14 - 12:37 PM Hiya, Cats are amazing. I still miss my Oscar; he used to cuddle up to my almost-useless R side w/ a croaky "waow". I think being near me helped him w/ *his own* pain. I kept *him* warm, *he* kept me warm. It's not just men that spray! ☻ I get on much better w/ men. They aren't as bitchy. Whether I'm on/offline, I prefer to talk about shared interests etc. ½ my male relatives are the same. |
Subject: RE: BS: On Being Male From: GUEST,Ed T Date: 29 Jan 14 - 12:40 PM solutions I have never had this problemveither- but, here are some options, if you have. |
Subject: RE: BS: On Being Male From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 29 Jan 14 - 12:54 PM Claire, I used to have a cat called Oscar too! And my present 3, Smoky, Murphy & Minty, all spray if I don't keep a sharp eye on them. I believe men could quite easily sit down to wee, but my husband thinks I'm mad if I suggest it. At least he puts the seat down afterwards, bless him. Another thing men seem to do more than women is pick their noses. You see them in cars busy as bees, having a good old pick, but women don't seem to indulge so often. |

Subject: RE: BS: On Being Male From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 30 Jan 14 - 01:35 AM From being male, then to women, and now cats???....Boy, I could have a field day in here! GfS |
Subject: RE: BS: On Being Male From: GUEST,psychomorris Date: 30 Jan 14 - 07:30 AM Eliza It has been suggested that there is a higher level of stress incontinence and incontinence in women in more modernised societies, due to sitting down on toilets. Less of an issue even in old age amongst societies that crouch down to urinate or evacuate their bowels. As a man I will reduce the risk of incontinence for myself by standing. Unfortunately for a male the prostate will determine much to do with spraying and flow. We both have our crosses to bear as we grow older. another Allan C. |
Subject: RE: BS: On Being Male From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 30 Jan 14 - 10:31 AM You may be right psychomorris. I'm very interested in your post. But speaking for myself, I'm very old, have always sat down on the loo, and don't at all have stress incontinence. Neither did my old mum, nor does my sis. But we may just be lucky of course. Most Africans despise the 'chaise anglaise'. My husband did at first, but now he much prefers it. It will be interesting to see how he adapts to 'crouching' once more when he visits his family in Ivory Coast for 4 weeks in August! |
Subject: RE: BS: On Being Male From: GUEST,SINS Date: 30 Jan 14 - 10:50 AM Apparently, Spaw, gravity is your enemy too. She of the droopy boobs. |
Subject: RE: BS: On Being Male From: catspaw49 Date: 30 Jan 14 - 12:08 PM Yeah Sins.....Maybe I'll join up with one of those religions that doesn't believe science is right about anything. No law of gravity, no saggy tits and balls! Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: On Being Male From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 31 Jan 14 - 12:22 PM "Being required by society" is a strange concept. Leaving aside stuff that might get you arrested, which doesn't apply to personal grooming generally. |
Subject: RE: BS: On Being Male From: Claire M Date: 03 Feb 14 - 11:27 AM Hiya, Stress incontinence =/= caused by stress?? I'm a slightly leaky folkie, & it gets worse when stressed / when I laugh too hard, & a couple of times I sneezed so hard I s*** myself. Pratchett's "magical leakage" comes to mind........☻ Despite yrs of hating dresses I switched to wearing them (*I love* the old-fashioned sort) due to weight loss & realising how much easier they are when transferring. I think men have it easier – they find shared interests so they *don't want/need* to bitch @ each other. There's a ton more women here than men, & that's all they do. I hate it. Obsessiveness tends to be a male thing I think. I used to think I'd got gender issues cos I thought that way (had the odd weird crush, v. short hair, etc., & the realisation I hadn't got said issues & was in fact quite normal, was a huge relief (excuse the pun). I'm only 4ft 10 so I'd look daft.☻ |
Subject: RE: BS: On Being Male From: Stringsinger Date: 03 Feb 14 - 11:57 AM How is it that all these dudes have suddenly become authorities about women? There are enough misconceptions about either sex that make any jokes about it unfunny. In my observation, I will make a general comment. Women are more civilized when it comes to settling disputes and fostering communities. That's because they are the carriers of children, both men and women, and have the need to see that they are nourished. I accept that this is a generalized statement but not wholly untrue. |
Subject: RE: BS: On Being Male From: gnu Date: 03 Feb 14 - 03:00 PM Spaw! Get ye to the MAN store! I started a thread years ago because I was tickled pink about my new 18" at the seat, 3.5 gallon per flush elongated toilet. No more cold dick surprise in the middle of the night when ya just gotta go and don't wanna turn on the light. Oh, it ain't just a matter of aim if yer of a circum persuasion... what matters is if yer a porn star and I figger you ain't so I figger you don't shave yer never regions. Me needer so it's them loooonnng scraggly hairs what somehow manage to reach out and attach themselves to the most sacred of the male orifices and make the vanity wet. Or the wall. Or the bleach bottle I keep next to my throne. That'll wake up outta a half-sleep if ya piss on that. Although it is kinda cool to nail two Macronite Filters at once if the light is on. If anyone is lost re the Macronite ref, George Carlin has a bit about urinals. |
