Medieval European Men's "Secrete" Revealed

Haha, I caught you. Not really a big secrete, but just a naughty entry. It will sure feed some ladies' curiosity about men. In medieval Europe, men wore those very tightly fit pants. Always wondered how they pee'ed? I found that answer during a recent visit to the Residence of Juliet (Casa di Giuliet) in Verona.

A Romeo's dress is on display in the museum. You can see very clearly there is an opening at the front, using strings to tighten. It takes quite some effort to unleash the strings and to relief yourself. The pants are really tight. I pity those men who had to endure the pain and trouble in those days, especially if you have a weak kidney. :D
