Boys grow about a foot taller between 10 and 16, and most people's arm span is about the same as their height, so the overall increased reach is significant. I was taller than average after a huge growth spurt, and I remember realizing how many things I could jump up to touch that weren't in the realm of possibility before that. You better believe I was jumping up and touching stuff.

According to my big brother, peeing over walls and off high places is another, if they can get away with it. (Like castle ruins etc.) Could it be similar in that you're now tall enough you don't just end up peeing on the floor at your feet?

Peeing other than in a toilet was only ever a matter of necessity for me, so I can't give credence to that.

Dude what? Peeing outside is the best. It's my sole motivation for moving out of the city and into the country.

One of the greatest pleasures in my life is pissing off the back porch when it's cold, looking up at the Milky Way, and listening to the coyotes pack up.

I once peed outside while it was snowing and caught a snowflake on the tip of my penis. It was magical.

If we're talking about peeing in the woods on a tree in the middle of nowhere with no one around, I guess I'm indifferent towards it. If we're talking about peeing off a bridge or the side of a building, there's no attraction and it seems like like a jerk thing to do.

Boomer humor:

Two guys are peeing off a bridge. The first says "Man, that water sure is cold!".

The other says, "Yeah! Deep too!"

It’s power and control, linked with seeing how far you can pee, target shooting, writing your name
