[Closed] Is this actually a thing now?

I've never noticed such a thing. Have you considered moving? Or going to a different local? Especially one that ISN'T 'middle lass'?

Just 'cos you're taking a pish doesn't mean you need to turn around and flash them you know.

Happens reasonably frequently in changing rooms at our swimming pool. Dad with young daughter, he can't go into the ladies and she's too young to be left alone so what's he going to do? IIRC there's a sign saying only accompanied kids less than 5(?) are allowed in the opposite sex changing room.

Are they meant to take their girls into the Ladies?

Similar situation in the park toilets next to my work.

As in just walking behind you to a cubicle or come here look at the state of this poor blokes willy ive never seen anything so funny its smaller than your little brothers?

Why would you be in prison getting a good kicking?

Are you not telling the whole story?

Went in the work bogs today, female cleaner was going about her cleaning business. As I approached a urinal and unzipped she insisted I go in a cubical.

Prude 😆

I don't think you're being unreasonable as such, just for feeling uncomfortable - after all, we are all very wary about such things in this day and age. But don't worry about it.

I know km79, I'm not actually standing there and firing up the bellycopter. These guys seem to be with groups including females. As I said, I'm the one with the problem over this.

It was ever thus. I don't recall ever seeing it the other way around (other than at gigs / pubs where the gents are usually half-full of women, doesn't seem to be a problem then all of a sudden).

I've always thought it makes more sense for a bloke with a young girl to use the women's and vice versa. If a member of the opposite sex is going to catch an accidental glimpse of my todger, I'd rather it was a grown woman who's probably seen plenty rather than me providing impromptu sex education to a six year old.

When ours are being cleaned, they put a sign on the door saying they're being cleaned by a "female operative." Puts me in mind of someone out of a James Bond movie.

I never found Japanese cleaners so prudish in the work bogs. Fair put me off it did.

Children can burst into flames if they see a penis. Fact.

I'd suggest you get a grip...

Is this actually a thing now?

That's what she said 🙂

Exactly, get a hold of yourself, man....

When I take my 5 year old daughter out on my own I have no choice but to take her into the gents. I don't see an issue tbh. I always make sure she stands away from the urinal though.....after the incident where she picked up one of those urinal blocks

Taking your 5 year old daughter out on the lash. Is this actually a thing now?

Well somebody's got to drive home

😆

I'm with Cougar on this, as all the toilets in the ladies are in separate cubicles and not on show like urinals. The worst you're going to see is hand washing, unless there's something unsavory that women do when they go in there with their mates.

Though it would be little awkward just standing there while the little princess was on the job.

edit -

after the incident where she picked up one of those urinal blocks

Pull it together.

😀

OK. I think I have a bit more perspective now.

From above, presumably?

Give yourself a good shake....

But not too many shakes

In France urinals are often just out in the street. Nobody cares. All you see is the back of a bloke who is obviously having a piss. As long as like most normal people (whatever that is these days) you don't get it out until you're lined up at the urinal and you pop it back in before you spin round 180 and walk off what's to see?

It's only us brits get uptight about this stuff. Mate of mine said in Indonesia or somewhere he needed a dump in a restaurant, asked one of the ladies (local) in his party at the table. She said, I'll show you and took him off to a big room with a load of shitters lined up along a wall and sits next to him, no screen or anything, and has a dump!

I have been at the urinal in my VERY middle class local

Did they have a spiralizer on the bar?

I'd get over it, you're not going to be Yew Tree'd over it and unless you discover a Man stood behind you saying "look sweetie, it's like a cock, only smaller" I would find it hard to be offened.

When I take my 5 year old daughter out on my own I have no choice but to take her into the gents.

Really ? It would make more sense to go to the ladies, where as stated, you won't see anything worse than a woman touching up her makeup as there is no equivalent to the urinal in their toilets.

The ladies is also likely to be cleaner and have less piss on the floor.

Do they not have these in the UK? They're quite common in Europe, mainly at festivals...

What [i]is[/i] Cougar doing in the toilet that makes it a sex education? I'm concerned.

They certainly have something similar in cardiff, stops people weeing in the street instead!

I'd rather it was a grown woman who's probably seen plenty rather than me providing impromptu sex education to a six year old.

Really, you don't think a 5 or six year old will ever have seen her father naked? I suspect you're not quite living in the real world.
Additionally, unless you're erect, it's just something men have for pissing out of. If you are erect, then perhaps you ought to be in the cubicle...

Certainly while I had to help my daughter (now 6) I would take her into the toilets, male or female and if she saw (horror of horrors) a body part then so what, it's just a part of the body, just like I have and just like her brother has.

Edit - and as for "is this a thing [i]now[/i]"

It's always been a thing. Parents take there kids to the toilet, sometimes that's a girl in the mens. Just because you may not have noticed it, doesn't mean it wasn't always there...

That deserves a 😆

Meh. I take my 3yo daughter into the gents all the time. 6yo can cope by herself these days, but before she got the hang of it I'd take her in too.

Completely agree with the comments on British uptightness. We all share a bathroom at home. They see me and their mum naked every day. I think that's perfectly healthy.

I think the image I have in my head is wrong. Sorry.

We have two young kids DezB. [i]That[/i] particular image is [i]only[/i] exists in my head 😆

But no, I mean we all happily walk about naked, plus they see us on the bog, in the shower, etc

I know some people get prudish about it, but I'd rather my kids grew up knowing what "normal" people look like naked and that it is a good thing to be comfortable and unashamed of your own body.

So that said, if I take them a public loo and they accidentally catch a sideways glimpse of your shrivelled boaby peeking out of your zip then don't worry, they'll cope 🙂

Dad with young daughter, he can't go into the ladies and she's too young to be left alone so what's he going to do?

Precisely. I often take my 5 & 3 year old girls swimming. As I get changed, they like to shout at the top of their voices "I can see your willy". Thanks girls.

GrahamS are you sre your name isn't Harvey?

When my daughter was younger I'd often have to take her into the gents. I don't think she ever caught sight of another man's willy, why would she. Not that it was an issue as we have similar approach to nakedness at home to GrahamS, except my missus, she's never naked enough, even if I allow her to put the heating on (but I digress). Swimming changing rooms she would see other willys but no big deal about it.

I'd rather have been able to take her into the female toilets, mainly as I assume there is a lot less pish on the seats/floor. Though I don't think men going into the ladies toilets is accepted, but being all cubicalised it shouldn't be an issue, unless I'm missing some other ritual that goes on in there.

In general I don't see a huge issue with this although I wouldn't be comfortable but then I don't like children under the best of circumstances but in a pub? I don't think it acceptable at all.

Just my opinion

you don't think a 5 or six year old will ever have seen her father naked?

What people get up to in their own homes is their own business. (-: That's down to them really, isn't it.

I know some people get prudish about it, but I'd rather my kids grew up knowing what "normal" people look like naked and that it is a good thing to be comfortable and unashamed of your own body.

TBH, I completely agree. It's a weird thing for people to be uptight about generally, and I'd probably do the same if I had kids. Someone else's kids though, not so much.

I nearly got one of those portable urinal things tipped over on me once. It was on uneven ground, and the bloke weighing it down on the other side jumped off quickly. 😀

I don't like children

Didn't you used to be one?

As long as you don't bop her on the head with it, you'll be fine.

Rules innit...

Perchy - nope. I was born a grumpy middleaged man. When I say born of course its just a simplification. Its more like "created"

I feel sad for you.

You've missed an entire childhood of having strange wangers waved in your face in pub toilets. 🙁

At our pool girls up to eight are allowed in the men's changing rooms, though I stopped taking my daughter in a when was six just because she could change herself and I had two younger ones to deal with.

There is nothing wrong with naked bodies (though mine is a bit gross) we really ought to get over it in the UK

This made me laugh it's a review of Macc leisure centre on google. People
naked in a changing room in front of their own children disgusting

Nothing weird about taking your little girl into the gents if you have no choice.

And if you're already in there at a urinal, I really wouldn't worry. I mean, you're only urinating, aren't you? Not cottaging, shooting smack into your arm, or masturbating like a Chipperfield's monkey?

There might possibly be a clue in the name...

Years ago I went to the bogs in a McDonald's and there were two girls perched in the urinals having a piss and their (I presume/hope) dad told me to go outside and wait....

A female friend of mine can use the gents* urinals standing up like a bloke. Comes in useful at gigs. Everyone has a talent.

(* - is there any other kind?)
