Ok so this is a bit odd but hear me out. Whenever I have older family members or neighbors over my house, I always find pee on the toilet seat, floor, and wall next to my toilet. It happens without fail, and it’s always boomers.

When I have friends over (Millenial age) this is never a problem. The bathroom is always much cleaner and the guys are always fine, even after a few drinks.

But boomer guys? Straight blasting bootstrap piss. It’s crazy.

Anyone else notice this?

    I am pretty sure prostate issues can cause a pee stream that is more like the shower setting on a hose rather than jet. So given they are older maybe they have an enlarged one?

      The external urethral orifice?

      It is usually a vertical slit. As the pee comes out as a vertical oriented stream it fluctuates between vertical and horizontal several times until reaching its target. However as you get older the per-hole shape changes shape and enlarges. Plus if you still have your glans it stretches due to daily use and abuse and such, so it interferes with the outgoing stream unless you pull it out of the way. Everyone learns to pull it out of the way. But if you’re also “soft” pulling it out of the way is much harder than one could imagine. I’m not a doctor, I just got one of these things.
