    After moving into my own house as a teen, I always sit at home. I’m the dude who has to clean the washroom.

    At a public place with a urinal, I’ll stand. I always feel weird sitting on it.

    Sit at home on my Japanese toilet with a heated seat, stand everywhere else. Heated toilet seat is blissful.

    But then you don’t get to play the sinking and or stain cleaning game? That’s one of the best parts of being a man!

    I sit down sometimes when I’m tired or if I just wanna sit down and fuck around on my phone for a bit. Also at night! I love those no lights to not fuck up your sleep, sit down, take a piss, then quickly get back to bed without touching your phone or talking to anyone so you can hopefully go back to bed!

      My dickhole dipping into water or rubbing on random ceramic, as being unwanted, should be as uncontroversial as a bidet being the clearly ~only way to clean poop from a butt.

      But here we are, “just use some paper to wipe it off” is not only a permanent standard in the US but apparently worth fighting over, in times of shortage lmao.

    Ever peed standing while wearing shorts? It’s disgusting. Just sit down like a civilized person. Or clean the toilet yourself, properly, so you know how nasty it is to wipe away pee splatters all over the place from you and all other men who didn’t sit down.

    Sitting down is also much more relaxing.

      …is this the reason guys prefer longer shorts? So they don’t feel the splashback of toilet water on their legs when they stand to pee? You guys don’t care if it spashes back you just prefer to wear it all day obviously?

    Sitting is not only superior, it’s also optimal for proper urination. This is not my opinion. A pelvic PT professional told me this. I only stand rarely. Mostly when I’m in a public restroom with a urinal.

    Standing is just gross. Pee mists everywhere, even if you have perfect aim. All around the toilet and the wall and floor near it.

    And if you need proof of this, visit the house of a bachelor that never cleans.

    Sitting unless I’m in the forest.

    I’ve been a devoted sitter for a while. If you stand, you are peeing on your floor. Maybe not a lot, maybe not even a perceptible amount on any individual trip, but definitely some, and over time, a lot. I’m of the opinion it’s weird to pee on your own floor, and have been enthusiastically lambasted for this on multiple occasions. Some men for example find it unmanly. Which, putting aside for a moment the fact that there is no inherent correlation with manliness and goodness, is bullshit. Unless they stand to pee when pooping, they already pee sitting down on a regular basis. All I’m doing is increasing the frequency of seated micturation.

      You’re weird because apparently you don’t clean your bathroom floors.

      Sure, microscopic amounts of pee gets on the floor. Then, every couple of weeks you clean your bathroom.

      You know that when you flush a toilet you aerosolize a bit of the contents and they drift out and land around the room too. Does that bother you?

        That’s why you close the lid to flush… That absolutely bothers me, I wear retainers and they clean in a solution on the counter during the day. I don’t want pee on them or my toothbrush!

        I guess I would just say that I feel the acceptable amount for one to pee on their own floor willfully is none. Flushing may present a new issue after the fact, but I can’t see a way around flushing. I can however see a way around electing to pee in a sloppy manner because I’m lazy. Though arguably sitting is famously more comfortable than standing, so perhaps impatient would be more accurate than lazy.

          Nobody’s talking about willfully peeing on the floor, we’re only talking about microscopic amounts of pee mist that could drift away from the stream when you’re peeing from 50 cm from the bowl instead of 10 cm from the bowl.

        by your own logic, why bother using the toilet, or even having one? Just pee on the floor like a real man. I mean you clean it anyways.

          The frequency of cleaning should presumably be proportional to the amount of piss and other unwanted substances making their way onto the floor

        I just don’t want to piss on other peoples floor. Its one thing to piss on my floor and for me to clean it up, its another thing to piss on someone elses floor and expect them to clean it up.

        If you stay seated it’s just your legs that get aerosolized and that’s even easier to wash

          Unless you take a bath / shower immediately after using the toilet, you’re then walking around with a thin coating of waste on you all day.

      A lot of short kings don’t have this issue.

      If you’re a taller dude, not only do you get backsplash on the floor, but on your legs as well.

      You either have to piss straight into the water which is just an obnoxious sound, or you piss on the porcelain and get backsplash.

      If you dont believe me, pour some water into a cup normally, and pour some water into a cup from 30cm higher.

        Totally. Which highlights another aspect of seated superiority: effort. Peeing while seated is absolutely fool proof. Absolutely no focus required. Why concentrate when you can day dream? And it never goes wrong. You’re never surprised. Post sex, drunk, in complete darkness, tou never miss, ever.

      I mean, I’m usually a sitter but sometimes there’s a knot in my back that, well when it relaxes it uncorks the damn dam. Sometimes you gotta do calisthenics to get the juices flowing

    As a man, I don’t justify my choice of peeing positions to anyone. I sit or stand if I want to, and anyone who doesn’t like it can fuck off and take their opinions with them.
