Guys: is sitting to pee weird?

I wipe also after peeing,you don’t have to change underwear that often.

Fixed it.

If the cellmate is tall, that may contribute to the reason. Mr. Adoptamom is 6’7" and sits as often as not because it’s hard to keep a steady aim from that height, as well as spashback from the pee hitting the water so hard.

hmmm … I must remember to NEVER allow Mr. Adoptamom to read all of the posts I written about him. Something tells me he wouldn’t be a happy camper knowing how much y’all know about his private life.

Yeah, but all that height will only work to his advantage during distance contests. I bet your husband could pull one hell of a golden arc! :wink:

Local distance peeing champ
:smiley:

My husband is Venezuelan, and he always pees sitting down. He told me that all Venezuelans are taught that you sit down unless there is only a urinal.

Perhaps he’s german, they Sitzpinkel there. :smiley:

:cool: Seriously, a friend of mine always had to pee at night and when he got a boyfriend, he started to sit down to pee cause his boyfriend complained about finding the seat wet in the morning or finding that he’s peed in the trashcan. :wally

Not if you’re the guy who has to clean the bathroom floors.

Yeah…he could make you be the one who sits when he pees…NOW GET OFF MY BUNK BITCH!!!

I sit and wipe…guess that makes me weird.

I have always sat whether I have book/magazine with me or not…And I wipe cause I’m uncut and shaking just doesn’t do it for me (and trust me things can get rather nasty/smelly if an uncut doesn’t wipe). I even wash my penis afterwards (but only at home - never anywhere else).

As far as urinals are concerned I just can’t pee when someone stands next to me…I always go for the stall and I’ll walk to different floors if the closest stalls are taken

I used to consider sitting down weird, but then I came to work in an office at the university with mixed (temporary, student) staff and one toilet, and the women put their foot down - rounded us guys up and told us peeing standing up is filthy, even if put up the seat you wipe down the bowl’s brim afterwards (as we were doing). It’s true - just pee somewhere against bright sunlight and see there’s always a fine spray. Anyway, we hung our heads and sat down henceforth.

Sometimes I also see discreet notices in office/bar etc. toilets, also in private homes (put up for the lady of the house, presumably after she had to clean up after guests once too often).

It’s a reasonable thing to ask, really.

Some people seem to take this the wrong way, though. (the notice translates as “Please pee while sitting”.)

Peeing while sitting isn’t weird but sitting to pee every time kind of is. Only time I ever sit is when I have a number 1 and 2 to do. Might as well get both in one sitting, right? Also many apartments have the annoying habbit of installing midgit toilets that are like a foot off the ground with no bowl depth to speak of. I’m only 6 feet tall but the splashback on these damn toliets is insane. Due to their small size, sitting and peeing is difficult as well. What I’d like to do is find the moron who picked these kindergarden toilets out and piss on their carpet.

I think the only reason to stand while peeing is when the seat is dirty. What’s weird, with people’s bad aim, most of the time a dirty seat is caused by people standing while peeing (imho, ymmv). I’d prefer everyone to sit down and not make a mess.

As for wiping - on the one hand your underwear won’t have to absorb the rest droplet, but on the other hand you run the risk of having bits of the paper clinging to the tip, so I cannot really recommend it.

Looks like I’m going to have to hold the dissenting opinion here on peeing sitting down with an erection. I frequently wake up in the morning with 2 things - a case of “morning wood” and a desperate need to take a leak. It’s difficult and somewhat uncomfortable to pee with a hard-on, but it’s much more unpleasant to wait for it to subside, so I’m gonna go, one way or another. If I pee standing up it’ll shoot out like a windshield-washer sprayer, so I sit down. Yes, it usually contacts the side of the bowl, but so what? I’ll be taking a shower in the near future anyway, and I’m way too tired to care. And no, I don’t have an SO and I live alone, so my penile hygene decisions are my business alone. :wink:

For the record, I generally pee sitting down any time I’m tired, like in the morning or if I wake up in the middle of the night. But other than having one of the aforementioned piercings I can’t imagine why any man would pee sitting down every single time.

Could this guy be an Indian or Middle Eastern? In those cultures, men do sit down while peeing. In India, men traditionally wore the dhoti or the lungi , which were just a piece of colth wrapped around in different manners. So naturall, when they had to pee, they had to sit down, to prevent the pee from falling on their garments. Some people in India still pee in this manner.
The dress for the Middle Easter men, the dishdasha leaves no scope for peeing while standing up, so have to sit down while peeing. Aslo, I have observed that they do wipe after they pee. Its to do with sanitation or their beliefs, I suppose. so I am guessing the cellmate os of a middle eastern origin.

Opps, forgot to add: there is nothing weird about peeing by sitting down.

Am I the only one who thinks that the really weird thing here is not the issue of sitting or standing—it’s why a guy is casually disscussing his father’s pissing habits with his mother, and his sister is talking about hard-ons, while he is IN JAIL.
What does this family talk about on a typical day at homel?

No, I have a hernia and the doctor told me not to lift anything heavy.

It’s not often I get to use that joke. :slight_smile:

Most of the reasons to sit down to pee at home have already been mentioned, but allow me to add:

Regardless of whether it’s you or your spouse who cleans the bathroom, your life will be more pleasant.
When I get up in the middle of the night, I don’t have to open my eyes any more than necessary, or even pay very much attention to my situation.
I get to commune with my hemmoroids.
There is often reading material in the bathroom, and I don’t have a problem with lingering to read a page or two of my latest epic.
When I’m at home I’m usually wearing sweatpants or something else zipperless, so since I have to pull them down anyway…
As to the problem of certain portions of my anatomy coming into contact with cold, cruel porcelain, I installed elongated toilets in my bathrooms to deal with just that problem. You can too.

As for sitting while out and about:

It’s much easier to use your cell phone, PDA, etc. You also don’t have to worry about dropping said device into the water.
You don’t have to worry about splashback on your good slacks.
You don’t have to worry about your briefcase, or ‘manbag’ swinging around at an inopportune moment and intersecting the ‘stream’. It’s pretty embarrassing to have to tell a clien that you…umm…spilled lemonade on their papers, yeah, that’s it, lemonade.

It’s up to you whether you prefer the last few drops on your underwear or a bit of TP.

kittenblue; you need to have a talk with your son about being judgemental towards people who do things differently.

Is it weird sitting and moving bowels?

I can think of one other reason for a guy to sit all the time. He can’t aim. (It could be vision, size, large belly, or, hell, some form of palsy. I dunno, I happily suffer from none of those.) I would think you would be really unpopular making a smelly mess that you can’t clean up. I am assuming that there aren’t many good ways to clean up.

And of course, if the guy was sitting, he will at least need that “last drop” taking care of. If you are tall enough that some of your plumbing is below that closer to the exit, then some will be trapped. For us taller guys, sitting can be messier than standing. (Picture sitting so low your knees are close to your ears.) So maybe that was the “wiping”.
