Abstract:
A comfortable elongated toilet designed for men to sit on the toilet to urinate and dispose of water without contaminating the penis. The Big Boys Cave has a Big Boys Rest to position the penis horizontally. This horizontal position avoids the penis from dropping into the toilet thus preventing men from picking up germs on their penis from the waste in the toilet.

Description:
This application is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/983,657, filed Nov. 9, 2004 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,948,195, now allowed. 

   BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
   The present invention relates to toilets, and in particular, toilets for use by males. 
     FIG. 1  illustrates a conventional toilet  100  that includes a tank  102 , a base  104 , a bowl  106 , a seat  108 , and spacers  110 . As illustrated in  FIG. 1 , when seat  108  is located in the seating use position, spacers  110  rest on bowl  106 . In the seating use position, as a result of the spacers separating seat  108  from bowl  106 , a space  112  is provided. 
   As bowl  106  is designed to receive solid and liquid waste, bowl  106  is conducive to bacterial, viral and fungal growth. Accordingly, water in bowl  106  is typically contaminated. 
   There are two problems associated with the use of toilet  100  by males. 
   In particular, when an adult male is sitting on toilet  100 , there is a chance that the flaccid penis of the adult male will contact the contaminated water in bowl  106  thereby increasing chances of infection. Further a contaminated penis can pass the contamination to others during sexual intercourse and lead to other infections. In particular, the contamination, if transferred to a female, can result in a yeast infection. 
   The second problem deals with space  112 . Specifically, there is a chance that the location of the head of the penis at some point in time, will be positioned such that during urination, urine will discharge through space  112  thereby wetting the outside of the toilet and the floor. 
   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
   The present invention improves the problems associated with prior art toilet discussed above. 
   The purpose of the present invention is to provide a clean healthy waste disposal environment for males and females. 
   The present invention is directed to a toilet and toilet insert that protects the penis from contamination in the bowl and prevents urine from discharging out of a space between the seat and the bowl. Specifically, a penis rest is disposed in the bowl to allow the penis to be positioned in a horizontal manner to prevent the penis from dropping into the contaminated water of the bowl to thereby avoid contracting infections. Further, an extended front portion prevents urine from wetting the outside of the toilet and the floor. 
   In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a toilet includes a penis rest, a plurality of holes operable to permit a discharge of cleaning fluid into the bowl of the toilet and a urine disposal portion. The urine disposal portion may include a projected lip disposed so as to prevent urine from escaping from outside of the toilet, a urine disposal path, a gas trap and an outlet for disposing urine into the toilet bowl. 
   In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, a toilet insert comprises a penis shelf, a projected lip, a disposal path, trap and outlet. 
   Additional objects, advantages and novel features of the invention are set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention may be realized and attained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

   DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
   An exemplary embodiment of a toilet in accordance with the present invention comprises any material used for conventional toilets, for example porcelain. 
   The present invention allows men to sit at all times to both urinate and defecate. 
     FIG. 2  is an oblique view of a toilet  200  with an extended portion  204  at the top of the bowl  202  in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Toilet  200  additionally includes a liftable seat portion  206  having optional spacers  208  to space the seat portion  206  from the top portion of bowl  202  and two end portions  210 . End portions  210  are arranged to prevent obstruction, by extended portion  204 , of placement of seat portion  206  onto the top portion of bowl  202 . Extended portion  204  prevents urine from escaping over the top portion of bowl  202 . 
     FIG. 3  is a plan view of toilet  200 . As illustrated in  FIG. 3 , toilet  200  includes a plurality of discharge holes  302  arranged about the parameter of the top portion of bowl  202 .
