Related Topic...Women Peeing Standing Up [For Women Only]
The liink below is another poll about a certain practice that is usually done in the bathroom - woman peeing standing up. It seeks to find how prevalent the practice is and the reasons why as well as (hopefully) serves as a resource for other women out there interested in starting or continuing the practice. The more effort that is put into it the more women will get out of it...so any input would be wonderful and definitely welcomed. Thanks :)
