Guys: Do you pee standing, or sitting?

[control-z]

I’m perfectly healthy but pee sitting down at home, I have no problem with it. Much less messy. Of course half the time I pee outside, I stand for that. Does that help?

[Colophon]

Never did it sitting down until we got a new bathroom and I really started to notice how much splashback was created. Since then I got fed up of wiping down the toilet seat (or top of the porcelain if the seat is up) so I often sit down.

I’m so manly, I crap standing up.

I’ve been in the men’s room right after you. Cut it out.

Hmmm…I wonder if that is what is responsible for the “shit-grenade” conditions I sometimes find inside of the stall (and toilet and floor). :eek:

**Quoting: Diogenes the Cynic **

I will never sit to pee. I believe it is unmanly and unseemly.

The final word on the matter
That’s what wrong with America today, folks.
We got preachers that pee sitting down!
We got a president that probably pees sitting down!
We got a buncha preachers…we got a buncha leaders that don’t stand up and piss against the wall like a man!

The man in the video is a bona fide Baptist preacher who seems to be a little confused. He has taken as a text II Kings 9:8
For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel
And somehow developed the theme that real men must stand up to pee.

Diogenes, It must be nice to know that you have the support of the clergy

Public toilets: I sit in a stall; I like the privacy.

At home: I usually stand.

Huh. Public toilets I always stand. At home I always sit.

The last time we did this, one poster got really upset and seemed to consider any man sitting down to pee a slight on his (the poster’s) own manhood. Who was that? Someone alert him to this one. That was fun to read.

Ah, maybe it was DtC?

@Cliffy

At night, when I’m just getting up, or if I’m otherwise exhausted, I’ll sit. Mostly otherwise, I stand.

On an unrelated note: my three year old is curious about many things including, of course, human anatomy. That includes the difference between boys and girls. One day some months ago (while she was on the potty, as it happens), she said “Daddy, you’re a boy. Do you have that long thing?”

Uh, I’ve had no complaints.

The other day we went to a photography exhibit for Abbas.

One photo showed a ritual circumcision for a roughly 10 year old.

My daughter is 7. She has read the book and we talk about sexuality and the like - but trying to explain circumsion was not easy - and not over yet - I think it’s going to come up again.

[KneadToKnow]

Probably not until the stitches heal, though.

[pseudotriton_ruber_ruber]

“Well, at least I don’t gotta squat to piss” usually ends any macho standoffs where I come from.

[Runs_With_Scissors]

I’ve answered this before.

I live alone, and I do not have a housekeeper. I clean the bathroom. No one else does.

So at home, I sit when I pee. Anyone who has a problem with it can clean my bathroom.

@Fear_Itself

(I almost always sit down to pee if I get up at night, or early in the morning)

Ditto. In the middle of the night, standing up while peeing means I have to wake up enough to make sure I don’t miss the bowl. And the less conscious I get on my nighttime bathroom visits, the more likely it is that I’ll be able to get back to sleep, rather than be awake from 3am on.

11:59PM-6AM Sit

6:01Am-11:59PM Standing up.

My mom says if I don’t sit down while peeing then I have to clean the basement. (This is unlikely though, she hardly ever comes down here.)
