Urinating when uncircumcised

I'm uncut, and don't usually retract it to pee. But I usually sit down to pee as well. I don't like urinals because usually there is no toilet paper and after peeing I usually retract my foreskin and clean it up there. I know it might seem a bit cumbersome to some of you, but I have tried it differently and to me it just feels a bit wrong somehow.

I am circumcised and yet I am often surprised at what angle the stream will take. As someone mentioned earlier I agree that the meatus and opening can get mashed or slightly molded “off center” just from the pressure of under ware or other clothing. It seems like it takes on a slightly clay-like form that takes a moment to relax. If I’m not in desperate need to go I massage or roll the tip for a second to help alleviate that. When studying my wife peeing the lips, after being cooped up in her panties, sometimes create the same effect of off-kilter streams; making it difficult to catch her first squirts in my cup. For both of us a forceful stream often overcomes that. I also often sit to pee to avoid any surprises and messes. No big deal.

I don't retract if I sit down to go... no reason to. And I sit down often. When standing, I'll pull back so the flow is more predictable.

Uncircumcised, and as a young adult I started pulling back my foreskin before peeing, normally maximum half way back. I do this for the sake of aiming accuracy, both when sitting on toilet or standing at the urinal. However, there are certain situations in which I also might pull back completely and maybe even stretch my foreskin a bit further which helps if the stream refuses to flow (my bladder sometimes becomes a bit shy if someone else occupies the urinal right beside mine, especially if I know the respective man).

And finally in rare situations I don't pull back at all, but mainly only when I have a pee in the shower from time to time. Then I somehow like the feeling of the stream running through my long foreskin and its opening, just like someone else has also already written in this discussion.

I do. I personally find it easier to do that rather than pee with it down. I was probably 10 or 11 when I started to retracting to pee.

I don't refer to my penis as "uncircumcised" or "uncut", just natural. My foreskin doesn't cover the entire head of my dick. When I pee at home or in a single-use bathroom, I always sit down to pee. No need to retract my foreskin. And I always wipe my dickhole with toilet paper to be clean and dry. I hate using public urinals because the floors are usually wet and filthy. But if I must, I stand with my legs far apart, retract my foreskin, and go. Then I wipe down there with toilet paper and dispose of it in the trash, or flush it if there's water in the urinal. I always wipe because I don't want to get pee in my underwear.

I am circumcised, but I always saw that my father and brothers urinate by pulling back their foreskin.

I always remind my children to do it and dry themselves with toilet paper.

When I was uncircumcised, I remember my father telling me that I was supposed to pull the foreskin back when urinating and milking my penis afterward to squeeze out that last drop. He emphasized the importance of exposing the entire head and often checked if I followed his advice. I did retract the foreskin fully when using the bathroom in our house but was quite embarrassed to do it in public restrooms, at school, or the gym, especially when other boys or men could see the exposed head.

I'm not sure how customs are where you live, but I can recall but very very few instances where anyone looked at and assessed the condition of my penis when urinating in public. And visa versa as well. To do so you'd have to move your head or look so pointedly and expressly at the penis as to invite a proverbial knuckle-sandwich.

My experience is that this cannot really be done unobserved in a public stall. Only if one of the two were doing their best to expose themselves. Or the other unashamedly trying to look.

Circumcised or not, with public toilets, whoever wants to see, sees; some more discreetly than others!

I recognize and agree with most that has been said. Mostly I pee standing and retract my foreskin behind the glance. When possible I prefer to wipe after the shaking to take all remaining drops away. When I sit down or pee in the shower I usually don’t retract and like the feeling.

Not if you hold your hand and/or arm in the proper manner of blocking another person's view. Also I notice that in most places in Europe where I come, when there are enough urinals, people very rarely come stand next to you and mostly leave an empty stall in between.

And in some venues there is only one urinal, so no one is standing next to you.

Here in England the urinals usually have white porcelain dividers that give privacy unless the person next to you deliberately looks over the top so to speak. I remember being in France and the woman who takes the money sits by the door between the ladies and gents and has a clear view of proceedings to some extent. Although in the public toilets in my local city it is not unusual nowadays for a woman to be cleaning the floor directly behind you while you are peeing. It used to be a bit disconcerting but it has become the norm and you soon get used to it.

When I was growing up in Europe, one of my schools had a long urinal trough with a constant flush. Boys usually stood next to each other, and I could easily see the penis of my classmate urinating next to me without even lifting or turning my head. The other school I went to in Europe was quire modern with individual porcelain urinals instead of a trough. But, as they were positioned next to each other without any dividers, two boys urinating next to each other could easily see each other's penis.

I hadn't seen a bathroom equipped with dividers when I attended a US high school. Instead, it was common to see undivided porcelain urinals mounted to walls in each of the school's bathrooms.

The schools that I went to in Germany in the 1980s all still had kinds of troughs at floor level, i.e. kinds of "gutters" along the bathroom walls were you directly peed into. Standing directly beside each other, it was quite easy to have a look and compare each others penises. In other locations porcelain urinals were common, but without dividers (so you still could have a secret look easily, depending on the mounting spaces between the urinals).

During the 1990s dividers became more and more common here, but still today, some washrooms get built without dividers. I have experienced that even in the past dividers have been more common in other European countries, except in England, however these observations might also have been influenced by a "by chance" effect.

I retract while peeing at urinals to have a better aiming. I also do it at home most of the time even if I am sitting down. I feel it stays fresher down there.
