360 degree open trough urinals

Ditto!

I recall circular urinals in the public toilets in Paris in the late 70s. You had to pay 10 centimes to use the toilets to an attendant at the entrance.

There used to be a circular urinal in a bar in West India Quay, Canary Wharf, London. Whether it's still there, I'm not sure. I used to love using it.

The Denver Eagle and the Wrangler (both in Denver, both now closed) both had facing trough urinals last time I was there in 2011. I remember reading a Denver business magazine article where when one of them remodeled they were going to have to remove the trough urinal, but filed to get a waiver from the code requirement because they said they could not be competitive in the gay bar market if they didn't have trough urinals

When I was growing up there were a lot of open urinal troughs around. To bad they took them out.

When i was younger I remember peeing in a open-style trough urinal in the middle of the bathroom. The guys would come up from any old side and do their business; it was basically a big rectangle. This was in Honolulu, HI in the late 90s.

It's been a long time and I've never seen something like this again. The reason I'm posting is because I'm starting to wonder if these kinds of troughs really exist. Am I crazy or remembering this wrong? Anyone else use one of these before?

You remembered correctly.

could be! dancing around the age thing, it was at a time when nobody cared or thought too much about it.

this post also talks about "circular urinals", but there's no proof given Men - what do you think about trough urinals? And circular troughs?

I like both but I must say circular troughs give you a better view of things.

Used to see trough urinals all the time. Not so much now. One memorable one was in a bar in Montreal with a line of men with their dick out but no one pissing.

There are (or were) both circular urinals AND hand washing stations. The hand wash stations were tall enough to obviously not be a urinal. The urinals I remember were at floor level and at least one had continuous water running through, and one I recall would self-flush every minute or so. Both are extremely wasteful of water and so it's no wonder they're gone now.

Using them as creeper-gawker stations is disturbing.

Troughs were once very common in some parts of the country (USA). They are still manufactured, but are increasingly prohibited by building codes and things like the ADA, although I see them still in popular use abroad.

Sadly, when my favorite bar remodeled, and had to make the restroom ADA compliant, the trough had to go. But this fixture was so beloved by the patrons that it was reinstalled as a fountain on the patio. And yes, the water running from the taps is yellow (it splattered too much, they have been moved lower since the picture was taken).

I believe they planted the cacti in front of it to discourage people from using it for its original purpose. They have since been augmented by a series of wooden posts. When it was in the restroom, when a great deal of beer caused me to have to seriously piss, I would often use it lengthwise to avoid back-splatter. So presumably having to stand behind a barrier would not prevent me from using it now. But I will not, as I am clear about the difference between piss-troughs, big round washbasins, and fountains.

This was about 13 years ago, so I might not be remembering things exactly right. I went to the East/West Shriners football game. It is an annual college all-star game where the best players in the east play the best players in the west. The game was held at Stanford University. I had to take a piss. The restroom was packed with guys peeing. They had the round wash stations, but many guys were pissing in them thinking that's what it was for. There were other urinals though, and I figured it out. The other urinals were open so lots of dicks out there as well. I started to take a piss and the guy next to me finished but kept his dick out. I could see it was getting hard. Have to say it totally turned me on and I started to get hard while I was still pissing.

I’m pretty sure the old University of Pittsburgh football stadium had one of these back in the late 1970s.

And I’ve been in relatively new construction men’s rooms that have troughs along the wall

Only used a circular style urinal once in an older building years ago. I was peeing and another guy came in and stood directly across from me. He was very clearly looking at my cock balls while peeing. Not just peeking, full stare.

I have to admit that I have a memory of being a young kid at a state fair and I thought the circular urinal was pretty strange, but I wasn't the only one using it. Years later I went back to the same fair and realized that the foot pedal to turn on the water and the soap dispenser meant it was a sink. It was kind of embarrassing when I first realized what had happened but I think its pretty funny now.

I have a vague memory of the same thing. It was only something I encountered once, and peed in it as well.

Did it look like a handwashing station? Or something else?

No, not a hand washing station for sure. It was metal/porcelain. No water faucets.

I remember using a portable one at Brighton Pride a few years ago. They were about three feet tall, shaped like a mushroom and big enough that around eight guys could stand around them. It felt a bit weird, but you certainly got a good view of everyone else. At least one guy was wanking at the one I used, so I'm sure a lot of fun was had there that day.

I've never seen a circular trough but the hexagonal plastic blocks (which act as a retention tank), that allow six guys to stand around pissing, are becoming very common at festivals and open air events. They are often in groups of ten or twelve, like school dining hall tables used to be.

 

[Needdickhelp]

Anyone know of any in Honolulu now?

I would like seeing these in Richmond Va.
