I like to hear guys pee loudly into the toilet water. There's a macho element to it.
This thread just reappeared after 4 years. Some things have changed since then, and I was amused to look back at the older posts. I'm not into water sports either, but I have a more-than-usual interest with how guys (including myself) urinate. I used to have issues with being pee shy, and have been self-conscious of the people hearing me pee in a home bathroom. I've sat to pee for as long as I can remember to be able to do it quietly. Oddly enough, when I was in a mens' room with only toilets, it didn't bother me to stand, and I actually liked to do it. For some reason, it didn't bother me to pee loudly around men I don't know; I was more shy around the people I knew. For many years, I've been working on the pee shy thing and feel that I've overcome it 95%. I never have trouble using urinals anymore. It's been very liberating.
Almost every guy I've known stands to pee at a toilet in a private home, and most of them always aim for the water. If the bathroom is close to where the rest of us are hanging out, we can always hear him pissing. Some of my guy friends don't bother to close the door when they pee. For all the years that it used to make me feel awkward, I've become fairly comfortable with it, and it's a huge turn on for me. Now I love to hear guys pee even if I'm not attracted to them. About 3 years ago I retrained myself to pee standing at home. After a few weeks, it became routine. I like to watch the bubbles turn to foam and I love the sound it makes. It hasn't been a problem to pee standing when I'm hanging out with the guys. I know that they can hear me, but none of them have said anything about my piss habits changing. When I'm around guy friends who leave the door open, I'll do the same thing. I get a kick out of it, like it's some male bonding thing. The only time that I'll sit to piss is when women and girls are around. That's the 5% of the pee shyness that I haven't overcome.
My neighbor just took his morning piss. I'm sitting at the desk in my living room and heard him loud and clear. Sometimes I'll pee just before or after him. It's like we have an unspoken contest to see who can pee the loudest. L.O.L.! Just took my second piss of the day. It was way better than the neighbor's. The only drawback to standing to pee is that I have to wipe the toilet and floor after I piss because of the splash. I don't care; it's worth it to enjoy taking a piss.
