Is peeing outside an okay (Aspie) thing?

Post Reply New Topic

Hey my fellow Aspies,

Yesterday at work, (this happens a lot not necessarily always at work) everyone else had left and I had to go to the bathroom desperately. The theatre was closed and with no one around I peed behind a bush behind a shed.

I've also peed many other times outside, and although its not always my first choice, I must admit I prefer it to waiting in line or going in questionable washroom facilities.

My issue is morality - is it morally wrong to do so? I will make it clear, I try to follow the rules of etiquette, I squat (girl) and I make sure I'm out of the public view. I also do not pee on anyone else property or public property (I mean like a statue or something) I think me thinking about this is an Aspie thing.

I never told anyone, but since being an Aspie, I try and be as normal as I can around everyone. I really hope that this is okay, because with me drinking lots of fluids, and needing to go a lot, I'm not sure that I can stop.

Does any other male/female aspie do this?

I've peed outside when there was no bathroom around, or if the bathroom was in terrible condition. A lot of people do this. I've never heard of anyone complaining about it. This is not uncommon among the general population and I think has nothing to do with autism. I think you can relax.

Places I have peed at were out in the forest because I didn't want to hold it. I also didn't want to walk all the way home to go so I went in the woods and I have peed up in the mountains and did it on someone's property which was in the forest because I had to go and didn't want to hold it.

Anyone can urinate outdoors; but it takes a real man to write his name in the snow.

Seriously, the only worries would be matters of sanitation, personal hygiene, and getting caught with your pants down.

I'm not sure how you could even avoid this when out in the wilderness. And I don't have much opinion anyway, but it's good to be careful: I know urination in public is considered a sex crime (indecent exposure) in some areas and people have wound up registered as offenders over it. (In the states - I have no idea about the UK or elsewhere)

Male. I have many times. So have ASD friends, so have NT friends. Heck, at some friends' places it's the norm.. so if you pull up to the house and have to go, you don't bother going inside, you just piss on the side of the gravel driveway and then carry on with whatever work you were doing. Totally depends on the people whether it's their norm or something totally inappropriate.

I don't think it's an AS or NT thing at all. Just a human thing.

Some people are of the school of thought that it's dirty/unsanitary/not socially acceptable, others that it's completely natural like any other animal. To each their own - just be clean and discreet about it, IMO.

I do not see anything morally wrong with peeing outside, I've had to do it multiple times because I needed to go and either could not get to a bathroom or didn't have money to spend in a store to use the bathroom. Apparently public bathrooms are kind of lacking around Denver, so plenty of homeless people have to go outside....of course apparently if you are caught you can get 'sex offense' charges, though I don't see how peeing/pooping is a sex offense I don't really associate that with sex but in this country for some reason nudity= indecent sexual exposure or something even if the nudity is not sexual in nature. Either way I've still peed outside. It is kind of stupid they should either install more public bathroom facilities....or look the other way legally when people have to resort to that, its just sick to have a policy which can turn an already struggling homeless person into a registered sex offender just because they had to take care of a normal bodily function outside....well that and any non-homeless person who happens to find them-self in an area without much restroom availability.

I have done that kind of business a few time before, but just as long as it's not in public or on someone's/private property unless it's my own or an untouched wilderness.

I don't see anything morally wrong with it, but I tend to avoid it unless I'm out in the country. Doing it in an urban area is kinda rude and disgusting, not to mention a good way to get charged with indecent exposure.

It is lack of facilities and drinking thing and illegal thing in many areas.

As an Aspie into categorization I was a do it in a bathroom only dude until saw others do it and copied the behavior to fit in and to feel better.

Nowadays I don't drink and police are really cracking down on and you don't where a camera might be.

Why would it be an Aspie thing? I've heard of people peeing outside before, when they are nowhere near any public toilets, like hikers for example. NTs don't do everything religiously perfect.

I remember when I was about 7 I was on a long walk in the country with my brother, a few male cousins, and my granddad. I loved it, but then suddenly I really wanted a pee. My granddad said it'd be OK to just go in the woods, but I was scared to in case the pee might have ran down one of my legs and we didn't have any tissues on us. I was rather jealous of the others because they were boys, and I was a girl. It's a lot harder for girls to pee outside or standing up anywhere.

Then when I was about 12 I remember I was at the beach with my family, and I wanted to pee but there weren't any toilets nearby. I wasn't the only girl, but when I told the others that I wanted to pee, they just said to go in the sea. I didn't feel comfortable peeing in the see in my swimsuit, even though most of my body would be under water if I went in deep enough and the water will wash it away. It still just didn't feel right to even think about it. So I just had to keep it in and wait til we were ready to go and get some chips, where there are toilets near.

As long as you don't do it where someone's going to stand on it.
I saw mother let her kid urinate on the footpath once. It was disgusting.

Try to avoid peeing anywhere other than in the dirt because it makes things smell and might lead to unsanitary conditions. Otherwise, I'd say peeing outdoors is ideal.

Incidentally, I have a DVD that teaches womyn how to pee while standing. If you're interested, I could link the website where I bought it (it costs 15 bucks).

I don't think peeing outside is so much an Aspie thing as it is a guy thing.....? I do it all the time at home cause I live in the woods and I'm taking the dogs out any way so.....

If urinating outdoors was an Aspie thing, then every hunter, fisherman, lumberjack, soldier and construction worker in the world would be an Aspie.
