Leaving the Seat Down…

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

So how many guys actually more often pee sitting down or prefer it? Two close males in my life admit to that. It makes me wonder.

Hmmm… I’ll have to make a poll for this one, methinks! I’ll confess that I occasionally do it, but it’s usually when i first wake up and I need to go both pee and poop. It’s just easier that way… unless you have morning wood… then I don’t recommend it AT ALL (some things are just not meant to be bent DOWN that way! owie!)

Needless to say, I don’t have much to comment on for this question. Maybe they just find it more comfortable? To me, the bigger question is one women usually seem to ask (but no one has of me yet): why do men always leave the toilet seat up?

My usual response to that question is that we do so because we’re lazy and that we can but frankly, I’d always wondered why toilets had to have seats that lift up and down anyway. I mean, are most guys aim so bad that they can’t hit a slightly smaller hole? It seems like it would be a lot easier to just have the porcelain shaped in such a way as to make a seat. It shouldn’t really be any harder to clean and it would save all of these arguments between men and women. Of course, do they really argue or do women just complain and me just slough it off… hmmm… for myself, I never bother to raise the seat until I’m cleaning the toilet.

I apparently HAVE good aim….

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

A Period Piece

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

Today’s question comes from an anonymous source and at first, I was loathe to answer it because I don’t think anyone will believe what I have to say. But here goes:

Why do guys get so freaked out by women’s periods, to the point of being rude babies to their sexual partners, even women they love?

Is this going to be the question of the week, or what? Truly, I know a number of my peers who DO freak out about this. ButĀ their freaking outĀ seems to fall into one of two categories: it’s disturbing or it’s gross. Those may seem to be the same thing, but are not.

The guys who are grossed out are frankly, immature about it. It’s a natural bodily function, no different than a runny nose, it just happens to be blood instead of mucus. But because it’s coming from a location men pretty much only thing about in relation to sex, it becomes ‘gross’ to them. To that, I can only say ‘grow up.’

The guys who are disturbed by it usually are so because they fear that there is something wrong. It may be at a subconscious level, but it’s there. Being male, the urge to want to ‘fix it’ is strong, and of course they can’t. I strongly suspect that all of these men would at times sincerely like to be gynecologists who could perform hysterectomies thinking that would fix the ‘issues’ women have once and for all. They aren’t bad guys, just confused.

As for me, my only real thought around it is that it must really suck, because of the discomfort that goes with it for the woman and the risk of staining clothes. Beyond that, it doesn’t interfere with anything unless she wants it to. I’ve had sex with women during their period. We just put down towels beneath us and took showers afterwards. Of course, certain foreplay just can’t happen during periods, but overall the sex can be just as enjoyable as ever depending upon how the woman feels.

As always, when in doubt, talk it out…..
