EEWWwww…This why I go outside or sit. Seriously, you guys would rather have urine splashed around rather than sit down, alone, in a locked room? Do you beat off against the walls to display your manliness?

On the contrary, I, too, tried out TonySinclair’s solution for a day or two, precisely BECAUSE I was then married to someone who wouldn’t accept splashback (even if splashblack droplets are more water than urine).
She thought the solution was yucky, so I switched to sitting down, as I mentioned. Haven’t stood up since (so to speak).
Ha! That does get it just right. Indeed, my wife STILL doesn’t like my solution (to pee sitting down), precisely because I look like a “sissy little bitch” doing it, but I long ago decided her protests on this point are less vociferous than her earlier complaints about splashback, so I continue to sit.
Sensible men sit.
Really? The *most *disgusting thing? Better not ever open a “Doper Ladies-TMI” thread!
Here’s what I want to know, fellers, and since I’ve got you here:
You know those bolt covers, round plastic things that cover the bolts that hold the toilet onto the wax seal on the floor? How does pee get around there? When I stand in front of the toilet, I can’t even see them. They’re underneath and tucked back under the bowl. Yet that’s consistently been the place I’ve found urine when cleaning the toilet - around the bolt covers. WTF, guys? I can understand how you hit the edges of the bowl. I can comprehend the dribbles down the outside of the bowl (and be thankful that they’re infrequent in my house.) But I simply cannot grok how one gets urine to curve around a bowl and back in and down to get at the bolt covers. I don’t get it. I couldn’t do it with a spray bottle; how do you do it with your penis?
I seriously don’t understand what you guys are talking about. The only time I’ve ever encountered a noticeable amount of urine outside the toilet is when I forget to raise up the seat.
And, yes, i always pee into the water. I’ve never had a problem having the water splash back on me.
Sometimes I honestly think you guys are putting me on.
Do you clean your own toilet? I think it’s entirely possible that my guys don’t see their weird pee puddles in bizarre inaccessible places on the toilet. I only see them when I’m cleaning the toilet; they’re not something I notice otherwise.
(Considering the places menstrual blood sometimes ends up, I don’t get bitchy about cleaning the toilet, mind you. Stuff happens, and it’s part of the job. I’d rather don some gloves and clean urine puddles than take out the trash and clean the cooler someone left water in, so our division of labor works well for me.)
It’s mostly a solid stream, but there is some spray. If you ever pee while standing in sunlight you will see the droplets. So clean freak me, I sit.
I don’t know how it happens, exactly, but when I clean around the toilet, there is definitely the smell and appearance of urine in odd places–those bolts that have been mentioned, for example. This is even true when I take care of an elderly man who has an elevated toilet seat and always, always sits down. I think urine molecules travel…
My SO sits, although he does swear by his stand-up method, which involves putting a square of toilet paper into the water and then peeing on that. He says it eliminates splashing. Haven’t tried it or observed it myself, but I’ll take his word for it as he’s kind of a neat freak.
I stand up. I generally don’t make a mess. If I do, I clean it. Problem solved.
