my son wasn't very tall so made him sit and push his pee pee down for a while (only at home). I felt like he shold pee on the walls elsewhere but not in his own house....and my man was angry when he found out, saying I was compromising his manhood somehow.... whatever.

Umm, well...

Pee Pee, Ding Dong, manhood

It's a fucking PENIS!

Give it a proper name then show him what to do with it.

I forgot about the ping pong idea (pee pee at the ping pong but not poo poo )

Cheerios

I can see that causing other problems.

AMEN !

Ijust realized something reading this; in Germany I've found that a lot of (native) German men pee only while sitting if they are at home. I've seen some health documentaries here about it and they say it's cleaner and more sanitary, and are generally concerned about bacteria reaching the area immediately surrounding the toilet area. I've often gone to people's homes where they even have little cartoon signs by their toilet that request for males to urinate sitting down, so when I'm here I often forget about the idea that men pee pee standing up ( at least in private homes) .

But since we're talking about home though, for little ones, I imagine you just try to guide their little hands to help them with their aim and that's that. I'm from the experience which is similar to Janfriend's I think, you know the school of "guide-aim-peepee-then-shakefordryness". Additionally, I don't see how or why teaching this function to them should be any different than learning to wipe after poo-poo, or putting on shoes, or learning how to use food utensils or how to color within coloring book lines. It's a basic motor skill FUNCTION, and it seems rather ridiculous to attach shame or sexual guilt feelings into the equation

my friend taught her son to aim using a square of toilet paper, that way no toys or food ever go into the toilet

That was my concern, I could see a whole packet of cheerios ending up in the toilet!! Or worse he would piss over his breakfast!!

I hadn't thought about the ping pong ball as a "toy", perhaps if I brand it - TOILET TARGET - and draw a bulls eye on it it would distinguish it from otehr balls.

It's either hands laced behind the head or grab a news paper!

My brother and I used to have contests to see who could destroy the most pieces of toilet paper.

tell your brother that it will send emotional scarring to his body. U dont wanna start a serial killer @ the age of 3

Maybe Raze is right and it's a germ thing but still! It's called washing your hands afterward! I'm going to tell my sister to talk to her hubby because it is obvious that the majority of men hold it so that they can aim right.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

honestly, you probably get more germs on your hands washing them in a public restroom than you do holding yourself while you pee.

Raze said:

still, if you don't wash after you pee, the fact is you have penis-hands. that might be hot at home with the boyfriend, but not so much at work when someone hands you a stapler or a paper clip and you know their hands still have penis-essence all over them from non-washing. don't get me started on vagina-hands.

Anxiety said:

The idea of giving other people your own penis-hands is kind of funny though. And sexy, I guess. If you're a perv. I'm not, I swear! At least not with that specifically!

I always hold my cock when pissing. (I hold it at numerous other occasions too.)

I'll also hold anyone else who'll let me..

StillGotIt said:

Sorry....you folks dont know me....it was a tone that cannot be read....anyway...he does. and always knew he had a penis, and not a pee pee. (:Pee Pee" is the term most of his peers at that age learned) "Pee Pee" is now a term my son uses with a sheepish grin if he has need to tell me something concerning his penis..... and yes...he now pees standing up because his PENIS doesn't rest on the edge of the bowl. By the way,"Manhood" as used in my prior post was not in reference to his penis.

xenon said:

Are you sure you want to call it a cock? It might cause problems for others in the thread if you dont call it a penis.....

StillGotIt said:

My post was not at you in particular but at the lack of reference to Penis'. I just feel that if we are educating the next generation it makes more sense to be open, plain and simple from day one. Glad you used the anatomical terminology and that your son has the whit to use Pee Pee in certain circumstances.

I certainly meant no offence when I wrote the post, sorry.

I love the power of the org, you tell her mate, sort the kid out - the men of teh org have spoken

Like we are the voice of reason.

In 100 male orgers surveyed over 95% said they held their penis whilst urinating. Of the remaining 5, 4 let it just dangle and one appeared to be turned on by the prospect.

I don't just like to hold it, also stroke it!!!

this thread reminds me of a funny story....

my daughter was about 3 years old and suddenly every time she came out of the bathroom the floor was wet, I was baffled since this was a recent devleopment. what I walked in on her and found her standing in front of the toilet messing up the floor and said to her very sternly What are you dong!!! She said she wanted to pee standing up....and tearfully said that its not fair that her dad and brother gets to do it standing but I wont let her.....
