I have read that accidents occur more frequently than one hears about when male crew do a whiz off the stern, or wherever. As you can imagine, with the imminent danger of zippers, the tightness of some underwear, and the flexibility -or not - of one's member, two hands are often needed to do the job. That's when THE BIG WAVE HITS. If one does not go overboard, the sudden reach for a steadying handhold may cause instant pain or possible interior flooding. Seriously, falls and other injuries are not uncommon. The experts* say it is MUCH safer to use a container and dump it afterward than to try to whiz over the side or stern. Drugstores sell easy-to-hold plastic male and female urinals which work well.
*Definition of expert: ex = hasbeen, spurt = drip under pressure.
