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.

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!

Every toilet I've seen has a big air gap under the seat even when the seat is down.

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.

There is one, embrace the sink. Become a sink pisser, it's just like a pissoir which you wash your hands and face in!

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.

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.

I've worked in one of those oldhead machine shops where they deliberately don't have any chairs in the work area because "if you're not standing you're not working." You bet I sat my ass down on the toilet instead of using the urinal.

Sitter here.

I have toddlers, twins. They get mesmerised by the laminar flow in the wee and try to grab it.

I guess before I had kids I would wonder why the kids are present for this event but toddlers are super busy, super active, and super curious. You can be watching them juggle knives in the kitchen or whatever and decide to just take a moment to go wee and slink away and they just kinda teleport to your location and try to grab your wee stream.

If you're sitting then you have both hands available to fend off curious hands.

The one trick that I rely on multiple times a day is redirection. "Don't touch daddies wee" translates to "daddies wee is super interesting". However, "Look at this amazing square of toilet paper" is received more or less as stated.

33

You're lucky they put the knives down before grabbing. Or not, I don't know your circumstances.

I can tell you exactly when I started sitting to pee. The day after I took over the bathroom cleaning chore.

There's a very specific tuck you have to perform to prevent that while not stopping the stream. The struggle is real.

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.

I was kind of pressured by my girlfriend to sit, and in the beginning I didn't like it because I felt pressured. However, after sitting for a while, I discovered that it's absolutely the best choice. When you're sitting, you can empty your bladder more. You're comfortable, you're resting, and you don't have to aim. You don't have to do anything. You're just sitting there, emptying your bladder.

I've been seeing a girl recently and been trying to sit rather than stand. She owns her own home alone so to me it feels very rude to piss all over the floor and seat, even if its just a drop or two that gets away from the bowl. If i wanna stand so badly I'll just go with her dogs in the yard.

As an owner of girlcock, i do pee while sitting, unless i have to use public restroom, then i pee standing. Public toilets are way to creepy and gross for me to touch them.

lemmy.today

Absolutely stand.

Sitting has a number of problems, for me it's mainly dick touching the toilet seat and it's impossible to pee all the way with the dick curved inside the bowl. And, if it's a public toilet, it's simply nasty.

It is completely possible to avoid splashing and noises and spreading pee around while peeing standing. Just aim slightly away from water, and if your aim is bad, clean whatever mess you could make.

Also, urinals are superior pissing devices and should be used when possible.

10

I go into a lot of fancy houses for work and some of them have urinals in some of their bathrooms, I'm always quite jealous about them when I see one, would definitely be nice to have (and that's coming from someone that sits to pee at home, but does experience some of the issues you describe).

I have actually found that the American ones are filled way too high with water. Like mostly full it's crazy.

So while I'm not a big guy myself I've had a couple really unwelcome dips while sitting down on what are, imho, overfilled bowls.

What I usually do is take a bit of toilet paper and sort of use my hand to park the kit under my butt cheek.

I dunno, I feel like there should be a class for this because now I wonder if I'm doing it wrong.

If this is a toilet that belongs to you, you can adjust the water level in the bowl by changing the valve in the tank so the bowl fills slower and is more shallow when the tank is filled..

Oh wait. Yeah. I just tuck it down. Then sitting is fine.

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.

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.

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.

For me it's not just a few drops, I can genuinely pee a few cl extra when I stand up, so I never feel quite empty when I sit down to pee.

3

I suspect this is more about the movement. I'm interested to know how it compares if you pee standing, but then sit immediately after.

Anatomically, the sitting position should provide a better path to emptying the bladder, and there are several comments here saying the opposite to you.

I think the very best for emptying is pee sitting, then stand, sit back down, and see if any more will come out.

When standing up it's definitely harder to get the last drops out. Sitting is easy as fuck, just use TP. On urinals there is no TP, so can't get rid of the last 1-2 drops. Never have that problem when sitting due to TP.

It is whatever one wants at the moment. Standing up is quick, sitting is getting your peace time.

I'm at work now but when I get home I will shatter the sit to pee/stand to pee binary. I will lay down to pee and achieve enlightenment.

I mostly sit but I think the downsides are downplayed.

In my old age of creeping towards 40 my stream has died down a little, but no splash ?

There is splash. Even with my pathetic old man pressure there is splash. It doesn't go on the floor. it goes on my thighs and under the toilet seat.

Before when I was young and virile it was a big issue and very uncomfortable to veeeeeery gently let a portion of my stream out over a long time.

There's also the issue of not accidentally booping the porcelain with the tip.

Granted its nice to have a sit down alone, and with measures taken it can even be nice, but its not a clear cut winner.

Also peeing freely outside is of course the best. Or from something very high up.

12.000 years human civilization and you still pee like Ötzi. Some things improved since then. Consider it brother.

If you stand, even at the urinal, you need to learn where to aim. Don’t pee in the water because it will splash on your feet and lower pants. Aim for to side (inside the bowl) near to the water. Quiet and no splashing.
I really hate toilets that are designed so that you can’t do that. They have to be designed by sitters.

You're still getting piss out of the bowl if you're on the sides. Its not as drastic as the center but its still a stream hitting a fairly flat surface from a decent height.

The sides of most bowls slope downward steeply. I have heard about toilets in Europe that have a shelf on the inside so you can examine your poop before flushing. Is that what you are thinking of?

1

No I'm thinking a normal toilet. Maybe if you are on the shorter side you can get a more favorable angle but otherwise the piss stream hits the porcelain at a nearly perpendicular angle and sprays nearly everywhere. Not as drastically as in the water but enough i can sometimes feel the mist if I'm in shorts.

I stand most of the time. I sit when exhausted or when i know my spray won't be good, or if I have gas I don't trust to be just gas. I've also been trying to get into the habit of sitting when at a woman's house/apartment. It just doesn't seem fair for me to make a mess with splashback, especially if they don't live with any men. Unless I'm doing some of the cleaning it seems more fair to just sit and get the business done that way. Plus this way I'll never leave the seat up.

Have you tried bunching the dress up and tucking it under your arms to expose your bottom half? Not trying to judge just seems like that might be easier.

I can't help but imagine that there is some solution to peeing in a dress besides doing it while standing up, considering that dresses were traditionally worn by people who do not have cocks.

2

If they don't have cocks, then they probably don't have balls, which means they have nowhere to store their pee and therefore never have to pee.

I’ve have never heard of this happening when these memes come up so my wiener might be broke but I can’t pee sitting down. All of my pee won’t come out and I have to lean down and stretch my peen so it all comes out. If I don’t and stand up I’ll literally pee on the floor.

Leaning forward is easier for your bladder to empty.

Sitting also gives better access to push on the part between the balls and butthole which can reduce post piss drippage.

I feel like standing helps with that more because you aren't confined by the size of the bowl.

1

I scoot forward or slide back to get a finger down there if needed, usually scooting back and going in from the side of the package. If my business is done i can slide back far enough that my butthole is over the seat and spread pretty wide. When standing i got my pants and underwear in the way and gotta bend the knees and spread the thighs a bit to get a good angle while trying to aim that last squirt.

I want to sit, but I stand because, idk why but I don't pee all the pee

1

I sit. It's comfortable, and you don't need to clean up any messes from splashback.

1

Nope less energy and it's easy to finish up and run. It was engineered that way for a reason.

There are a few medical studies that promote sitting because the muscles men use to urinate relax more while sitting.

I thought the comments were going to be how weird this bathroom's layout is. They're just looking at each other pee....

The sitter is really eager and the stander is pinching their dick off in rapid.jmtervals.

All healthy mammals take 25 seconds to urinate. 90 is somewhat concerning.

I mean that sounds about right but then I'm sure bladder sizes vary
