Trough urinals can be cool. You reminded me that when the Carrier Dome at Syracuse University was newly built in the late 1970s and the urinals were "in the round," so it was 360 degrees of men pissing away. It was quite an innovation, because the Carrier Dome replaced the very old Archbald Stadium. I am sure that it had some very old and traditional style urinals in it, featuring porcelain.
I have no direct experience with myself or other men having to sneak a leak during a marathon, but I bet that there are as many stories as there are full bladders. My guess is that a certain slice of men, when really needing a leak, just let go and urinate out of the side of their shorts or even through their shorts. In general most men seem rather fearless about public urination when forced into a tight position, even here in the puritanical states
On
www.gaymale.ws, I have seeen several picture of football, soccer and baseball players that imply that that happens more often than we might think.
Keep those stories coming and have good time at "Wet & Hot!"
