My son (who is 5) pulls down his pants (without unbuttoning?!) and underwear to pee, and sort of leans against the toilet bowl. However, this practice has been curtailed of late, because at his birthday party, a bunch of boys went to use the bathroom (I went with them, which is why I know what happened), and of course, they all wanted to use the urinal instead of the toilet, because (as far as I know) none of them has one in his house. So, when it's my son's turn, and he pulled down his pants and underwear, all the other boys laughed at him. He was somewhat traumatized. Peer humilation is the only way to snap someone out of anti-social behavior.
Bless you. Please spread the word.

In my original post I noted that there is a special dispensation for pulling down pants and underwear for little kids and the mentally challenged. You can assure your son that he has nothing to be embarassed about.
And what's wrong with reading the sports page in the library? Its quiet, its private, its special alone time. I can rip through the whole of the Globe's sports page in one sitting. No phone, no email, no secretary, NO ASS BARING PARTNERS. Bliss.
