Why does mens pee smell?

Question

stronger than a womans? Just by walking past the toilets in my work and only 4 men in my office

Answer 1

You are soooo right about that. But.. it's not only their pee which smells different. Have you ever rolled onto a man's pillow and got that "hair" smell. Men's heads just smell bad. That is one of the reason in the old days they had antimacassars (bits of material over the back of the chair) so they could wash the man's head smell off without ruining the chair. What really disgusts me is where there are men in the house and people put down carpet - so disgusting. I have lino and only 1 man in the house and am always wiping it down!

Answer 2

It's not that men's pee smells more than women's - it's just that women actually wee inside the toilet, whereas men tend to wee around the toilet, on the floor and anywhere else but the great white bowl.

Answer 3

I have a theory, men have larger bladders (it's a fact) b/c of this they pee less often. Now, my guess is that the urine is fermenting in their bladders.

Either that or it's diet/hormone related.

People that say they don't drink as much water are incorrect. They drink more water than women. This was all covered in the book "Why do men fall asleep after sex" By Mark Leyner.

Answer 4

women's stink also.

you're just paying a bit too much attention to it.. and um... why is that?

also tell these men to masturbate more (the prostate can back up and cause a slight drainage into the bladder and cause a caustic odor) and drink more water!!! also there may be a condition with one male or two with the kidney's bleeding a little into the urine which can give it a odor.

also it may be because whoever is responsible for cleaning the men's room is doing a slack job of it...

which then someone should mention it to whoever is in charge of the facility.

:D

Answer 5

As a male, I often wonder the same thing.

Men's loos' in pubs, depending on the type of... though if it has a restaurant attached, it tends to be different - but they do tend to 'stink.'

There was something I heard on the radio yesterday about French open-air loos, and I wondered whether they smell the same or ?

I assume that women's are 'different' and wonder just why that is too. All that 'lady-ness' and genteel femininity.!


Sash.

Answer 6

I must assume as a territorial marker at one time when we also lived as part of nature.
Plus girls go in the toilet and flush more often, most men flush but most urnal designs leave urine both exposed and accumulated odors mix into the air. Iif we or they don't flush the smell accumulates in one place.
I hate it too, so do most men as well.

Answer 7

I'm not sure. Like other people have said, a person's diet and level of hydration plays a large role in urine smell. But, it may also be that your nose is more sensitive to the male scents contained in urine. I know it sounds gross, but I see responses from the guys saying women's urine smells strongly as well as confirmations from women saying men's urine smells.

Answer 8

Ladies pee into a toilet and it is then flushed away.
Me pee into urinals and they only flush at intervals thereby allowing the urine to stay in the drain where bacteria form in the liquid and thence the smell.
Believe me both men and women's urine smell.

Answer 9

it smells because their bladders are bigger so it can hold a greater volume of wee. so it takes longer to fill. so whats in there goes stale quicker so it smells when it comes out and misses the toilet and goes all up the wall and all over the floor cos that what men are proud of doing.

Answer 10

Why because womens pee smells good? I dont think so.
Men just pee around the thing and dont clean up after themselves.
