Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.
I wear skirts that length reasonably often in the winter-time, and can confidently state that if one wears a petticoat under the hem just stays out of the way pretty much no matter what one is doing. As far as the hackneyed photo has it, I can actually lift the hem to relieve myself and present the same silhouette as presented. Long and full skirts tend to have vast hem-circumferences so one can do "interesting things" with part of the skirt and not have it transfer to other parts.
As a side note, why is it that there's such a fascination with what goes in in the men's room when it comes to blokes in skirts? "Bio-breaks" are "bio-breaks": get over it.

Carl,
I wasn't fascinated by the bio aspects of the photo, for me it first just the long skirts and that they were obviously guys. Somehow this almost pulls it into the mainstream -- almost...

Not if the skirts have flies, like my long denim ones, when I get a chance, my photos thread will get an update, but I don't get any time at the moment due to work at work and a partial house rebuild at home.
I am the God of Hellfire! and I bring you truffles!
Wow! I'd long heard of the proverbial "pissing contest", but I never thought I'd see one here!!!..
Actually, one of the big drawbacks in the early MenInTIme poroduct line is that using a public stand-up urinal GRACEFULLY was a challenge (It did not have a zipper fly, IHMO a required feature of a men's skirt)..
I think the accompanying photo has been around for quite a while!!!
All my 20 straight or 11 A-line skirts have zippers. Only my 3 circle skirts do not have zippers as I just pull up the back of the skirt and underskirts and sit when I'm wearing one of those. I only wear those to Bingo, as it's easier in the Bingo hall where they discriminate and have no urinals in the bathrooms in the Hall. As 90% of the Bingo players are women, they just patronize them. Even though they complain if a man misses the hole and hits the seat. Bingo is a fun thing for a man in a skirt when almost all of the Bingo players are friends of mine. Only have a rare problem in the Winter when there are what they call Winter Visitors making disparaging remarks about (this) man in a skirt. The regs usually shut the "out of townie" up without me saying anything.
I had to remove this signature as it was being used on Twitter. This is my OPINION, you NEEDN'T AGREE.

I dunno for me it's easier...a lot easier!..to go (Nr. 1 anyway) wearing a skirt than pants. And it makes it a lot more convenient also with my medical condition which I won't go into because it would probably violate forum rules. Peace.
