Pavarotti doesn’t sing from a chair.
Leaning allows you to spread and “loosen up”. If you just sit there and push, you might inadvertently get a turtle.
I lean right.
Enjoy,

I lean right. I’m left-handed. I haven’t accidentally shot liquid since I was a kid.
Candians lean left.
Terrence and Phillip are Candians.
Terrence and Phillip fart.
Therefore, Farters lean left. Either that, or, Candians fart.
Er, Canadians.
Sorry. My bad.
I usually lean right – but I’m left-handed.
I’m ambi-farterous.
It’s not that most people are right-assed, it’s that their right-nosed. They lean left at launch in hopes to smell their own stink moments later with their dominant nostril. It’s kind of a protective instinct, so that we can blame the dog most effectively.
Scratch? Sharts? Turtle? Shot liquid? Ewwww!
I had no idea there were so many phrases for that sort of accident.
Let’s not forget dew point.
For males, at least, could the location of a wallet make a difference? I no longer carry one (preferring to use a money clip and card case in my front pocket), but when I did, I think I carried it in my right rear pocket. To me, that would make it more natural to lean to the left, rather than leaning on the wallet.
Oh, and I lean right (for farting, not politically).
My theory is that most people are right handed and lean to the left when they wipe their ass after they’ve “released the hounds”. So, naturally, they lean to the same side to fart.
I’m a left-leaner, right leg lifter. Never thought about this much before! And, of course, women are biologically designed so they don’t. Proof here:

I am left-leaning politically, right-sided handedly, and right-leaning fartically.
I can’t believe there are so many plausible theories as to why we lean left or right. Colon position, dominant sides, ass-wiping habit…
I found myself actually nodding my head and thinking, ‘hmmm, that makes sense! yes, I can see that’ and so on.
I suspect horse-mounting procedures have evolved to accomodate the way various weapons are carried.
Re. farting, I just lean straight forward, it makes things much easier 
I too am left handed (huzzah!) and lean to the right, lifting my left cheek, so I can dispense my honey sweet, succulent aroma for all to share and marvel.
I have no idea if this has anything to do with this topic, but here’s something I read on Wikipedia’s page for ‘Kissing’-
Neonatal: “A newborn infant is known as a neonate (neonatal, neonatus) after the final stage of gestation throughout the first three months.”
So, the reason people always turn their heads to the right when they kiss is because of neonatal orientation. You think farting might be the same way?
Only if you decide to fart while kissing, or kiss while farting. Hey-multitask all you like. I lean right politically, and left fartically.
