Underwear Flaps: Friend or Foe?

The other night I made my way to the bathroom to relieve myself of the pressure I was feeling in my bladder, the aftermath resulting from the consumption of 4 cups of coffee. I made my way towards the urinal (sorry Brits and Aussies, not sure if they're called something different in your backward's lands) and began a routine that I had engaged in since I had been able to pee at my own will.

MISSION #1 - PROVIDE ROUTE FOR UNDERWEAR CONTENTS THROUGH OUTERWEAR: I unbuckled my belt, unzipped my pants, and unbuttoned the top button of my pants.
MISSION #1 STATUS: COMPLETE.

MISSION #2 - RETRIEVE CONTENTS OF UNDERWEAR: I placed my right hand over the waistband of my underwear and pushed the waistband downward until I had full access to my genitalia. My right hand then proceeded to cup the necessary equipment and aim it towards the urinal while preventing the waistband from pinching off any main urine pipelines. I tend to use the fingers below, thumb on top technique.
MISSION #2 STATUS COMPLETE.

MISSION #3 - PEE, SHAKE, AND RETURN TO BASE: A steady stream began to flow out of my urethra as the sound of relief "ahhhhhhhhh" left my mouth. MISSION #3 STATUS: COMPLETE.

WARNING: Sweeping assumption ahead. Now typically when women need access to their genitalia there is not much variation in how each woman retrieves their genitals from below their clothing for everyday uses such as using the bathroom, sexual relations, bathing, or retrieving the remote control. But there is not this sort of consistency in men. The scene I have described above is not typical of all males. In fact, I'm not even sure if it describes a majority of standing urinating procedure for human males. The possible variation is the result of a key variable: The Underwear Flap.

The following discussion, while possibly interesting to all men, will not include those who use their God given right to go through their day without underwear, who go "free-ballin," "Comando," etc.. Instead it will include those who wear boxers, tighty-whiteys, boxer-breifs, etc.. Thongs or other so-called male lingerie likely doesn't apply.

Men, please gaze down at the region where your legs meet. Doing so will probably reveal one of the following scenes. Many of you may be viewing a layer of clothing underneath which one may find their underwear...we'll call such coverings "Overwear" for such purposes. Male Overwear may take on traditional names like Slacks, Pants, Jeans, Shorts, Kilts, Sweats, Chaps, Tutus, etc.. Overwear often has a trap door on the front similar to that in women's designed to provide the male with easier access to their manhood via their underwear, or perhaps designed to provide a sexual partner easier access to a male's manhood.

As the beginning of this article noted, I do not generally use the trap door of my underwear. Exceptions occur such as when I am snowboarding and need to get through a number of layers to locate my humbly sized penis which has become even more humble in the cold weather.

I should point out that occasionally you'll find a man who dons clothing with a front and rear trap door. Such a garment is usually red in color and covers the entire body as a single underwear suit, "long-johns," as they're often referred. Such men should be avoided as it is likely you'll only find them in the bayou carrying a double-barreled shotgun screaming "Git off my property!"

While I always found underwear flaps to be a nice backup when other methods fail, or at best, a fun little novelty, I never found them particularly useful or user friendly. I found that when I did use them the flap would be stretched out and my undercarriage would venture out of the flap without my consent providing for friction that could be described as anything but pleasurable. However, following discussions with Reddirty, SameOldRat and a few other friends cursed with penises I was led to believe that many men use the front flap with some regularity. I wonder just how many JU men use theirs.

Merry Christmas,

All I can add to this is that whoever invented the button down fly should burn in hell! I just got my first pair of jeans with one and it is torture.

I think that you do it correctly, the flap allows too much chance of finger slippage and collateral damage due to friendly fire.

Hmm I don't use mine.

Really funny article.

urinal (sorry Brits and Aussies, not sure if they're called something different in your backward's lands)


Being an Aussie living in Britain (although not male - something I shan't apologise for!) I can inform you that yes, we know what urinals are. Some people may call them the troughs, and there are many other, far less pleasant names for them, but urinal is pretty universal. However, whether you say you-RYE-nal or urine-al seems to be up to the individual. How do you pronounce it?

(OK - gone off track but I wanted to add my two cents and seeing as I have no penis and therefore no knowledge on the use of the escape route, I had to find something else. Damn Christmas drinks!0

I have no idea what it is like to pee as a man, as I am female. But I do imagine it must be a nice benefit when you are stuck someplace with no restroom or when you are in a public restroom that is filthy; because you can stand up to pee. You men have no idea what the inconvenience, let alone the humiliation of the “squat and shake” we girls have to endure is when we are in a situation like that.
Very funny post btw,

AHHH!!
Just to read this article, I had to subcomb to joining Joe User...
I'm highly disappointed in myself.

However, I am overjoyed with this posting. I asked the gals at work to ask "their" men if they use the flap or not....
Confused looks insued.

Highly interesting, but until this convo came up, I thought all men used "the flap". Boy how I was wrong again.
Cheers.

Oi, that's enought of that.  They're called the same, thank you very much.


I can't begin to tell you how much I envy you being able to stand up to pee.  Getting caught short when you're hiking is no fun for us chickies.  Squatting, balancing, and trying to keep your pants and knickers from getting soaked all at the same time is not an easy feat, and then we have to worry about not squatting too low for fear of getting poison ivy or insect stings on our derriere's.  Then there's the problem of toilet paper...to be blunt, vulva's do not 'shake the drops off' nearly as well as penis's do (from what I can tell anyway) so we need something absorbent to blot with.


I've seen some women pee whilst standing....how they do it I simply do not know.

lol....awesome read! I, personally, dont use the flap on my briefs. Just seems faster to do it the other way.. (more risk of slippage and "backlash" though )

And I say it Urine-al.

This has to be the weirdest thing I've ever responded to....

We all knew this day was coming...and frankly, I'm relieved.

Oh boo hoo! This article was in no way gloating the ability of men to pee standing up. Just be glad you're not standing at the trough surrounded by two 400 lb guys at the ball game staring at your junk while you're listening to their unsettling giggles...enough to make you wish you were born a woman.

I'll take that as a compliment.

I've actually wondered about this myself. I've never used the flap in my life. I'm not even sure how to use it. My mother has told me that my father always used it, but the technique remains a mystery to me.

I placed my right hand over the waistband of my underwear and pushed the waistband downward until I had full access to my genitalia.


This is my method as well.

My right hand then proceeded to cup the necessary equipment and aim it towards the urinal while preventing the waistband from pinching off any main urine pipelines. I tend to use the fingers below, thumb on top technique.


Okay, here we differ. I never actually touch it. I hook the lip of the shorts under it and use that for support. When I'm done, I flip it back under and quickly entrap it.


However, whether you say you-RYE-nal or urine-al seems to be up to the individual. How do you pronounce it?


My pronunciation is roughly equivalent to your-a-NAIL.

vulva's do not 'shake the drops off'


You gotta love a thread that contains shaking vulvas....

Damn...sounds dangerous.

Agreed! I feel blessed. In fact, I think that line requires a little rhyme...I'm sure you'll be hearin' it in the club by next weekend.

If it's you're first time dancin' with me then let me show ya, I need a little room to get the crowd swinging back n' forth like my chode-a, My moves are guaranteed to make a woman shake her vulva!

WHAT!

No, and I didn't take it as such.
