The unused urinal(s) between two males when the extra capacity could be used. Most men would rather wait for someone to finish then have their penis in glancing distance of another man to avoid any assumptions of homosexuality.
Male 1: Why don't you just use the urinal between them?
Male 2: I need my gay buffer, I don't want them to looking at my dick.
