Title: Used a men's room for the first time
Post by: Mr.Rainey on November 18, 2012, 02:41:33 AM
Well, my first multi stall one. Usually I stick to single stall bathrooms. I was a bit nervous but I was able to do it. Glad there weren't any other guys in there.

I hope you weren't too grossed out.

Not all men's bathrooms are gross...the ones at my uni are invariably clean and neat. (But the ones at the community college...yeachh.)

BTW, congrats, Rainey.

Congrats Man!

I had my first locker room at the gym experience the other day.  Strangely, even though it was my first time, I was more comfortable (even with other guys there) than I EVER was in a women's gym.

Haha. It was actually fairly clean.

I think single stall mens bathrooms are nastier because people have more privacy to be gross and immature.

I use the men's at my school all the time with no problem.  They are all very clean several times I have seen someone cleaning them.  I have gotten that I don't mind someone else being in there too.  I usually go when it is unlikely that there will be many in there.  Once I need to go between classes and had to use a large one, many probably 6 urinals and 4 stalls and many guys.  I just went in used a stall washed my hands no one even looked at me.  Guys are in there to do there business and get out, little or no talking.

Congrats, Rainey!
I usually stick to unisex bathrooms, but have used the men's room before without a hitch. Haven't in school yet, though- I'm not quite comfortable doing that until I have gained enough support from friends in this.

Give yourself a pat on the back for being brave enough to take that initiative, even despite your nervousness! More power to you for overcoming that initial fear.

Congrats! It's always scary the first time, but the more you do it the easier it gets.

It really isn't as scary as it seems like it would be when you actually walk in there and do your thing. Just don't talk much, even if someone addresses you. Use minimal conversation.

Don't use a urinal if it's an unsafe place and you are insecure in your passing, though. But generally nobody will ever bug you.
