The practice isn't new of course, but is not as common out here on the prairie, what with the stupid draconian laws which lead to registering as a sex offender when apprehended urinating outdoors. THAT is stupid. NYC used to have a lot of public urination, one of my cousins (older, long route around through the family tree) complained in the 1980s about having to see that going on back when she and her husband lived in NYC in the 1930s.
Public lewdness would make young godless females giggle I suppose.
