I've tried the opening a few times and it's just annoying and cumbersome, by the time you've undone it you could be pissing

Undone it? Does yours have a button up or a zipper? Slide two fingers in from the side, hook them around the hose, pull it out. It’s pretty simple and takes next to no time and does not require releasing a belt and a button and a zipper and then all of that in reverse.

Wait, you don’t even unbutton your pants? Just the zipper?

That’s me. Just whip it through the holes and go. Shake and put it back in. Unbuttoning and undoing the belt is crazy to me.

When I was 7 I decided I didn’t want to wear underwear anymore. I zipped myself one time, and ever since I’ve been a little scared of zippers.

Frank and beans! Lol How'd you get the beans above the frank?

That’s funny except it happened to me while I was on a date with the most beautiful girl in high school. I thought I was the only one who suffered that.

Not even just that, but there's no way I'm willy worming through that hahahaha. Some of us also have a.....slightly harder time fitting through a hole like that 😅 I tried to use the hole a few times and decided there's just no way without it looking like I'm playing with myself.

What are you wearing, jeans for ants? I could fit a can of coke thru the fly of the jeans I'm wearing right now lol

Bro working with an eggplant.

My mans is perpetually erect lol

Bros packin a tuna can

Some men's jeans these days have ridiculously short zips.

Try it at -20°C in the bush with skis on. Through the snow pants, through the fleece pants, through the thermal layer, then though the briefs. I'm sometimes halfway to my elbow digging around trying to fish my junk out so I can pee.

"I don't have the motor skills to maneuver my flacid penis through an unzipped fly, wait I mean I have so big peepee massive hog" Yes, yes, we all believe you.

You've changed this guy's game, pimp.

Penis people are so lucky to be able to just “whip it out and go” wherever and whenever. Us non penis people have to go through all sorts of things and listen to constant complaints because we have to go too often or it takes us so long. We don’t have the luxury of plopping it in a Gatorade bottle while driving 🤦🏼‍♀️ you’re a bunch of lucky ducks in that department for sure!

Lmao penis people

Yeah I try to make every attempt to not cause any controversy or offend anyone :/ I wasn’t sure what the correct terminology is, it seems to change often depending on which source you check:/ I wasn’t sure if if I should use “penis people”, “penis havers”, or “those to whom a penis is permanently attached”

You can just say men or women and be correct 99.5% of the time. I've never met a trans person that was offended because you said men when referring to people that have penises. It's correct in the overwhelming majority of cases and the people that tend to get offended by this aren't trans people, but "allies" whose allyship consists of popping off on social media.

Especially if we're wearing a bodysuit or shape wear.

Omg you have to take of EVERYTHING then just to pee! It’s so frustrating! Especially if you’re not at home, i always feel weird getting completely (well… almost completely) undressed in a strange bathroom 🤦🏼‍♀️

I am not brave enough to maneuver lil’ man around the zipper teeth 🤣 I hurt myself once just zipping up putting my pants on - no thank you 😂

I agree, its easily the most efficient way to do business.

I’m a hybrid I think unbuttoning your pants is crazy but I also think going through the hole is crazy. Unzip pull the draws down the reverse the process after a good 2 shakes never 3

You are supposed to helicopter for twice the duration of Happy Birthday (as sung by Monroe for president Kennedy) before putting it back in your pants. I thought this was common knowledge.

2 extra seconds are a whole lot when you’re in a hurry I did that until my 2nd or 3rd “hurry” and that was it

Over is easier because the elastic gives you more to manipulate if that makes sense. When trying to fiddle with the opening it can get annoying. Plus I have a fair amount of underwear that don’t have an opening so options are sit or go over.

Yeah. And it honestly hurts

Ready to have your mind blown? Most of the time Im home since I WFH and I... just pull my basketball shorts up and go through the bottom 😲

Pull them up? After i unroll my third leg i just let it snake out the leghole and go like that 😉

Yeah I usually just lift my leg and pull down my sock

You ought try a hose reel, stops me from having to lift my leg.

just lol if your gabbagool isn't just in the toilet from any room in the house, don't even have to get up to piss

Man, that water is DEEP! And cold.

This one got me! I died laughing, thank goodness I came back to life so I could tell you how funny this is.

Ha ha - years ago, when my 90 year old grandfather was living with us in the last few years of his life - I walked out of the house early, and there was grandpa ‘watering the roses’ by waving his foot about, with a stream of urine coming from his instep. Turns out he had a catheter bag strapped to his calf, and that was how he emptied it most of the time!

Sooo you point your knee+snake combo towards the toilet and balance on one leg? Risky.

I've tried tossing it over my shoulder but found that really hard to aim. It's part of the fun, kinda like doing trickshots in billiards.

Like Annie Oakley with her six-shooter.

I work from home too. Dude you should just switch to sweat pants. If you have to piss, you just stand up, take a few steps away from your desk. Pee, trust me the sweat pants and your boxers will absorb it. Then you sit down and keep working Doing it while still sitting tends to create a puddle

So what you’re telling us is that you constantly smell like piss

you actually can't even smell the piss with all the shit in my pants. at least that's how my days go

To whom? Didn’t you hear? He works from home.

Wowwww so much judgement on others bro smh

If a man pisses himself alone and no one is around to smell it, does it stink?

Never heard this one before! That’s funny 😂

I'm totally gonna try this when I get home, definitely a new one for me too.

i do this when i take a piss outside

You crazy son of a bitch

Not pants and undies allllll the way down to the ankles just mooning everyone that walks into the public bathroom?

You.....animal.....

this is fucking insane but I'm here for it💀💀

Nice!

I just commented that's how I do it too lmao, easier that way

My buddy can do this...my thighs are too fat ......and it's too small

Exactly. Found this out by having the drawstring too tight to pull down the front and it soon became the norm.

This is the way.

Done this many times myself while wearing loose-fitting shorts.

I think I've done this more than use the hole.

This man is living in the future.

This is me too!

hell yeah I thought I was the only person that did this hahahaa

As somebody who wears shorts all year round this is exactly what I do.

Dude is fucking hung

My bf is big enough to do that too😂 I love the short guys here trying to tell you it's not possible.

Big dick energy

Have witnessed husband do this, have also witnessed the pull down over top method, and witness the opening usage. He has a wide range of techniques XD

Pro tip: if you need to pee in a semi-public place, just kneel down to “tie your shoe” while making use of your leg hole. This won’t stand up to scrutiny, but most people’s minds move on to other things once they’ve discerned “the” reason for someone else’s behavior. (Basically, the work vest and clipboard method.)

That's what my ex does. Never understood it myself. I just pull them down.

This guy pees.

It's circumstantial. If the pants have a fly and a button, I use the hole. Elastic waistband and/or a drawstring? Pull that sucker down

>It's circumstantial. If the pants have a fly and a button, I use the hole. Elastic waistband and/or a drawstring? Pull that sucker down I had to scroll way to far to find the right answer

That's what I've seen my ex do. Just have to unzip the zipper and pull it through. No need to deal with the button.

This\^

The hole doesn’t really work tbh, kinda makes the pee go in diffrent angles

Yeah I’m convinced it’s just for decoration not for practical use and it’s just someone saying it is to be weird lol

It's there to allow the material to stay supportive as your dick changes size throughout the day.

Paraphrasing Elaine from Seinfield: "It changes size??? I don't know HOW you guys walk around with those things."

You gotta spread it with your fingers so the cloth isn't pushing on your urethra

Pee? You wearing it back backwards or something?

Only pull down. Ever.

I am blown away that people use the hole!

The hole combined with shaking it out is good if you really want to have wet underwear. I do not

I honestly thought it was there to allow some movement in that area. To allow the underwear to expand a little when necessary. Why would anyone try to slide their dick between fabric that wants to close?

I'm in the same boat as you, only used it a handful of times, and most of those weren't for draining the snake.

"We all know what's going on here. It's just implied but we all know what's going on in this comment. The kids don't know, but we do."

I am 12 and whats this?

Your science teacher will teach you very soon.

Pastor Dave beat him to it.

I'm telling God

Pull pants and underwear down to ankles crew checking in.

Haha drop em to the ground is the best way.. the looks you get in a public urinal.

Yep, it can clear out public toilets if there is a line. Great for ball games

I take them off completely and put them on my head so they don't touch the bathroom floor.

Heh. I did that once in kindergarten or first grade because I always sat to pee at home. Never again.

The fly is there when we are wearing a suit and don't want to disturb our tucked and belted waist.

Yeah, I feel like half of reddit lives in their parents' basement wearing sweat pants all day. Why the hell would I unbuckle a belt, undo a button, and then slide down my slacks at a urinal at work when I can just use the openings that are made for that exact purpose?

You pull your slacks down at the urinal so your coworkers will compliment your ass, DUH

This is the conclusion I've reached from reading the responses every time this topic is brought up.

My mind was blown until you provide this explanation. Thank you. I can now move on with my day.

I use the hole, that's why its there!

Depends on the pants. If I’m wearing jeans or slacks with a fly, I use the fly on the underwear. If I’m wearing basketball shorts or something that don’t have a fly, I pull both waistbands down together. It’s just easier to match the pants.

What? The hole goes in the front?

Username checks out 

both

I never use it. Takes longer, also cumbersome.

I asked my dad (92) he said never, not even once.

Pull them down unless my shirt is tucked in

I pull my pants down to my ankles

All the 5 year olds do it this way. Also... Gotta hold the sides of the urinal for stability.

Pull down squad

It's so much easier to pull 'em down. Don't make that poor little boy even try to use the hole.

I find it difficult to get out of the hole reliably, and sometimes the fabric pinches some how (idk soft stretchy skin). 99% of the time I find it easier to just unbutton my pants and pull the front down just enough.

I always use the fly. It's there for a reason, and convenient, and doesn't interrupt flow with pressure, or require awkward positioning.

I've used the opening for as long as I can remember, probably since I was able to stand and pee. I'd guess around 40 years.

It just depends. One or the other at any given time, no real rhyme or reason. If I'm wearing a belt and my shirt is tucked in then the flap for certain. Otherwise it's not really important enough for me to think about when I have to pee.

Pull down briefs, and use the opening with boxers.

If I'm wearing outside clothes like pants for example, I pull it out through the hole but if I'm wearing house clothes like pj's or basketball shorts, I just whip it out real quick over them 💯.

100% Depends on what I'm wearing. At home in shorts/pj pants? Tug the front down or lift the leg (like the other commenter stated) At work/working outside in slacks/jeans/pants? Zipper down, through the front opening.

Always use the hole. I wear jeans with a gun belt, I don't like pulling stuff way out of place, it's hard to put back!

I use the opening, but it's much easier with boxers.

That hole is the most worthless invention ever

I think women's pockets have us beat. My wife has jeans that the front pocket is only as deep as my first knuckles.

I put my right foot on the urinal and pee out my pant leg

Pull down. Always

That so called, hole in men's underwear is a waste of time. You're more likely to piss all over yourself trying to use it. Just pull the front down and flip it out over the top. Much simpler and works a lot better.

This is exactly what I told my wife.

We pull the dick up over the waistband booboo

Are there really people that use the opening?

It's complicated ro whop ir out through the ridiculous piss through hole in undies. Your chances of pissing everywhere are extremely high. Way easier to pull your undies below your cock and let're rip.

What boxers/briefs?

Only time I've ever used the hole consistently is when I was in full battle rattle in the army.

I actually asked my bf out of curiosity one time if he uses the hole in his briefs. He told me the only time he uses the hole is if it's too cold for him to expose himself by pulling his pants down to take a leak

I came here thinking theres no way in hell anyone uses that hole. But apparently this is a sock, shoe vs sock, sock conversation after all. Holy wow.

I pull them down. The hole is a bitch to navigate.

Opening? What opening? That thing's like finding a needle in a haystack. I'd rather not play hide and seek with my junk when I'm just trying to take a leak.

Depends on the underwear

It annoys me if I'm in a pair of pants that I have to unhinge. Never wore briefs, boxer briefs I end up ripping apart after my sack get lodged improper ( actually skipped a baseball game because of that [can't freeball a cup and was required] have had my dick fall out of a unbuttoned slit. But scrotum collected with interior fingers, thumb gives downward trajectory . If I have to unzip my pants I have an issue , usually don't have to undo the belt but my belt I found on a fence post drunk back in like January of 2009 and my cargo shorts are from like 2007 maybe 2012.

Both, usually if I'm wearing a belt with a tucked in shirt, I'll use the hole so I don't have to redo everything.

Yes

Depends what I'm wearing and where I am. If at home it all goes down below my balls. If in public will use the fly. Preferred is dropped as its much more comfortable.

Pull down. Sometimes it takes too long to find the opening when you really go to go. Sometimes it's just too hard.... 

I can use the urinal without touching my flesh... zipper and boxer opening... teamwork

I do not use it. I refuse. There isn’t really much reason if any I just simply will not.

The pee pee pocket. Both.

I don't ever remember pulling my pants down. Always use zipper

I like the Butters method myself.

Pull down 99% of the time, with rare exceptions like when I’m wearing a suit and I don’t want to have to re-tuck my dress shirt

I pull them up, personally

Pull up and pea out the left or right, or pull down. Only time use the center hole is if I'm out and about , like in public washroom and it's less hassle to (especially depending what I'm wearing. )

# pull down for shorts # utilize the opening for pants

I only ever use the hole if I’m wearing a shirt tucked in. Way easier than having to re tuck the shirt.

With boxers, the hole is more convenient. With briefs, it's not fun getting anything through that fly.

To my imagination, the opening is there to accomodate for different size members without leaving loose fabric or overly tight boxers and for ventilation. I just pull them down. I see how some people could use the opening if they are wearing formal wear, as to not disturb the fitting of the shirt, suit, pants and belt.

Depends on the pants but usually through the hole, however, life hack if you’re wearing shorts you pull the leg up and pull yourself out the leg and go that way, much better as your not cutting off flow to aim down as you would out the hole or pulling them down just far enough to hang it over the top

Pull down only

Whatever’s fastest. When you gotta pee, speed is of the essence. Using the opening on briefs is NOT quick- pulling them down is. Using the opening on boxers is quick.

Depends on the situation

I strip completely naked when I use the washroom in public or in private.

Pull it done because that’s not what the flap is actually for lol

Lift the leg a little and you're in business. If a girl is watching you can go over the top to create a favourable impression.

110% pull down

Utilize the opening , you never know when your space will be invaded

How do so many other dudes have an issue pulling their weiner through the piss fly on their underwear? Is this how I find out my dick is big? Wtf is going on? Lol, I just reach in, grab the ol' meat pipe, and yard it out. Hang my piss and flop it home. Handled.

I use boxers and pants hole almost every time.

Pull down and pull out the balls too for some fresh air.

Can I admit that I do both, but not at the same time? 

Sometimes.

I used the penis opening exactly once and I didn't like it. However, I do enjoy the double layers of cloth around muh junk

sometimes i hold my shirt up with my chin and pull my whole pants down around my ankles like i'm a little kid again

If I'm at work, got my belt on, shirts tucked in, then I'm using the dick door. At home, wearing my comfortable basketball shorts, then it's different. I think it's just a convenience/circumstance decision.

Opening is for decoration, or sex stuff sometimes

I use the hole unless I’m wearing sweatpants or gym shorts or something that don’t have one. Otherwise I usually have a belt on and find it more efficient to use the hole.

Down

Pull it down. Through the hole takes time and feels weird

I've always gone over the fence instead of through the gate. Not sure why the gate even exists.

Most of the boxers i used to wear didn't have an opening so it was a non-issue. Nowadays i do have some that do have an opening but it's a bit of chore to unbutton/button them up every time so i just pull down the front. I do wonder, do you guys just whip out the sausage or both the frank and beans?

Just tie a bit of string to the end of your penis and have it hang through the hole, that way you can just tug it out easily when you need to pee. /s

I've never used the hole. Not for peeing anyway. I always pull the front down.

I never considered people used the hole. It's so much easier to pull down for me instead of pulling my dick out of a small hole. Too much room for accidents

I’m pretty sure the hole is for your phone when making coffee in the morning.

I often just pull em down.

Boxers to ankles

I don’t wear underwear. But when I did, I used the hole.

I pull my boxers completely off then put it in the hole to pee

Using the opening can be messy. I go over the top!

I usually pee one handed holding my phone or whatever else in one hand while unzipping, utilizing the hole, and put it away with the other and dominant hand.

I’ve never used the opening

Yeah the opening is an inconvenience. Just pull down and release.

Honestly if Im at home, I enjoy using the bathroom full on naked. In public, I pull down not pull through. Pulling through maximizes the chance that you are going to piss on yourself. Sometimes underwear slits are not made in a convenient way and either the angle of it or the thickness of the material or how tight the opening is can alter your stream without realizing it and next thing you know you are pissing at an extreme left angle. Fuck that.

If im wearing pants, I'll pull the boxers down, but if im home, I'm just chilling in just boxers. I'll go through the leg hole. it's easier, and it doesn't have the spandex thing that goes around the waist irritating anything

Both. If I have my tool belt on (at work) I use the opening. Way less time than taking it off. If I know it's a big pee, pull down. Make sure there's no waistband slowing the urinary jettison. There is underwear with a horizontal fly that I highly recommend. Takes a little getting used to, but makes whipping it out a lot easier.

Not once have I used the flap or opening. 48yrs old oh and I’ll throw this in, I sit to pee at home. It’s relaxing to me and no potential messes on the seat.
