Whenever we
are out and I have to use a public bathroom I always notice that many men,
especially young men, go into the toilet stalls to pee when there are urinals
available. This kind of pisses me off because if I have
to take a dump it is likely I will find pee on the seat.
I don’t know
if bathroom modesty is a societal thing or something imparted during childhood
by mothers.
I have no
shame, probably because of my Navy training back in the 1950’s.
The Navy
head (bathroom) at boot camp was a room about thirty feet long with toilets side
by side along one wall – at least a dozen toilets. It wasn’t unusual, first thing in the morning,
to take a crap with someone sitting next to you. There was the advantage that if you needed a
light for your cigarette you could probably bum one from someone down the
line. In the middle of the room was
a circular fountain, probably six feet in diameter, with a circular peddle at
the base for flushing, where men stood around to take a piss.
There was no
such thing as privacy in the bathroom: the shower was a big open room with shower heads.
Since that time, I have never been affected by bathroom embarrassment.
I may be
wrong, but I don’t think women are as modest in a public bathroom as men are.

We ladies are somewhat more modest than most. We are more self conscious of our bodies and the way we look naked than men, especially if we aren't fit and trim.
ReplyDeleteYou don't think women are as modest as men in a public washroom? Where the hell did you get that idea? Women are extremely modest in public washrooms. Everything is done behind the closed and locked door of the washroom stall.
ReplyDeleteYou got me there. I have no idea what goes on in women's bathrooms. I just had a feeling that women weren't as hung up as men are in general so probably were more communal in the bathrooms. Men never talk to each other or acknowledge each other in public rest rooms, we use it and get the hell out.
