I was wondering about this. If I could build or had room, I would absolutely love to have one in each bathroom that goes all the way to the floor, especially off the man room, and one in the basement.
I think this would be like the coolest thing ever!
Plus, this is my first poll ever!

One of the coolest things about being a man, the world is your urinal. And that is only one of the many cool things.
Yup, have a man room, declared it as mine one day. Everyone else has the rest of the house, I decided this one was mine. Have a bathroom off of it, but unfortunately no room for a urinal.

I voted yes, but there would be one stipulation. I would not EVER have to be the one to clean it. I had enough of that back in my low-man-on-the-totem days in the restaurant business.

I was driving around one of the fancier neighborhoods in Boise and noticed one in a garage. Installed. With tiling around it. Out in the open. In the garage. By the door to the house. In the garage.

Think about it, hubby has been working on the car or whatever, muddy from yard work and instead of dragging it through the house, well, no need to do that now.

I had a man room once. The computer sat on a desk in the corner. It was mine. I had Manchester Unites paraphernalia decorating the walls. Then my wife started a business and began using the computer. At least I still have Manchester United on the walls...

Think about it. Man using garage urinal. Wife heads out to the garage for some food storage item from next to the urinal. How, um, quaint.

In Europe all the bathrooms have a bidet. American Missionaries had no clue what they were for... and well... many an elder has washed his clothes in such a device. :)

Heaven forbid he should forget to close the garage door...

While it's true that there's no NEED for urinals most of the time (they are needed sometimes though--like at the stadium where there just aren't enough bushes for 65,000+ men), urinals still provide a very important benefit.
See, the beauty of urinals is the fact that they don't have a seat so there's no possible way to get in trouble for leaving it up.
That's the thing that would be appealing to me, actually. Lack of seat, I mean. Because I have boys who don't always pay full attention or wake up all the way before using the restroom. Aim is far less critical with a urinal.

My one-year old has just discovered the toilet-paper holder and its oh-so-fun capability for spinning and leaving gigantic quantities of TP on the floor. And despite our best efforts to watch his every move, and keep the bathroom door shut... he's still in there on a regular basis, spinnin' away.
So the combination of a floor-length urinal and a babe in the house..... eww. just ewww.
I mean, he's already fascinated by the dog's water dish, and that's disgusting enough for me.

Reminds me of when we were at Nauvoo and going into the RLDS bathrooms and I just followed another male family member... not really thinking... Then I got this disgusted look on my face and asked, "What are these URINALS doing in here??" Another second... D'OH!!

If you are worried about the aim of little boys, throw some fruit loops in there for them to try and sink. Heck, I might try that, sounds like fun.

I try to encourage my boys to sit for the first bathroom trip of the day. Of course, my oldest has been known to fall back asleep there.

My son learned to use the toilet sitting down, and continued in that habit for years. Made for much less toilet mess cleaning for me in his early years.
I think that he stands up now... but I'm only guessing based on the sounds coming from behind the closed bathroom door.
NO, NO, NO, never teach your boys to sit to pee! No girly men. That is actually a term of derision amongst men, "did your mom make you sit down to pee?!"

Interesting. I actually knew of a family where the father taught all the boys to always sit. Never heard of that phrase before, though.

Bok, just saying how it is. Not a matter of insecurity, just how it is viewed.

What does it matter? I'm not a boy. No chance of cross-contamination.
