Is it taboo in some countries for men to urinate standing?

In any war-torn country, one learns to pee squatting or in a crouch.

Gosh, and I thought women standing up to pee is disgusting! Yeah, some women are squeeved out by the idea of sitting on a toilet seat, and they squat over it and kinda sorta aim. Most women don’t know where the urethra really is, and it’s as nasty as it sounds.

My mother grew up in an era when kids were taught that you can get VD from a public toilet seat, and she covers hers first. :rolleyes:

Thanks to this thread, I have new words that I have been saying all day (quietly), because they make me giggle.

Sitzen pinkeln.
Sitzpinkler.

Hee hee hee.

(bolding added) And your evidence for that is what? How many uncircumcised men, other than yourself, have you watched pee? What percentage is that of the world population of uncircumcised men? Clearly you are have an issue with circumcision, but this is not that discussion.

I have one data point to the contrary: my partner is not circumcised, and he does not pull back his foreskin to pee, and when I asked him about it he looked at me like I was nuts. Oh, I have one more - a previous partner was not only not circumcised but was not able to pull back his foreskin.

As for the doctor’s office and the men over 60: some men, as they get older, tend to dribble at the end of urination, and they don’t stand far enough over the bowl to catch it.

BigT, let me explain this to you: when you are the one cleaning around the toilet, you can say that it doesn’t make a difference whether there is urine there or not. I can say from many years of experience that it is impossible to always get everything in the bowl every time. I don’t think it is unreasonable (although I find it a bit dainty) to object to cleaning up other people’s pee.

I don’t see this as an anti-male initiative, nor an pro-circumcision discussion, just as common courtesy to the ones who have to clean up after. I clean my own bathroom, so I do as I damn well please in it.

“Thank you so much! I don’t want to live with freaks that listen outside the door when I go to the toilet.”

From my observations, it is quite common. It’s easy enough to find photos on the Internet to see for yourself.

*Really? You didn’t think it was safe to use the masculine pronoun even in this sentence???

So I’m entitled to stand every time, since my parents decided to permanently retract mine shortly after I was born…
Famous washroom sign in restaurant - “We aim to please, so you aim too, please.”

Seriously, this sounds like the extension of the training session before I even shacked up… “put down the seat and cover afterwards”.
(MY favourite reason given - the kitten might fall in and drown.)
Is it any wonder a sit-to-pee campaign is considered a form of pussywhipping?

Over 60? Hell, I haven’t been able to aim reliably since I was 45.

As I once heard a 50-something stand-up comic say, “When I pee, it looks like two streams of windshield washer fluid.”

This is why it’s best to just piss in the tub as it’s hihgly unlikely to splash out of the tub. But be considerate and do a quick rinse.

If you happen to be a shitzpinkler and not a sitzpinkler, I daresay you will end up with a mess on your hands (and running down your leg).

“Sit down to pee? Won’t the faucet get in the way?”

“But there’s nowhere to sit in the shower!”

My son is a toddler and is uncircumcised with no glans visible, and if he pees it is as straight a urine stream as anyone. I think this idea of foreskins being sprinklers is not true.

Well, after my back surgery, my doctor doesn’t want me lifting anything heavy by myself, so…

:smiley:

There’s a lot of variation among foreskins. Different lengths, especially in growing boys, and different shapes. Some can’t easily be retracted, especially prior to adolescence.

Uh, this uncircumcised male does. In fact, when I read the post about retracting the foreskin being the “preferred” method, I had a “What? Really?” moment. I can assure you I have never had an issue with, er, performing accurately, but then I’m only 28 so who knows what the future holds?

Oh good, I’m not the only one. I was just thinking that “sitzpinkler” would make a dandy insult for some men…even if they don’t know the language, it SOUNDS dirty.

A bathroom with no pee splatter on the walls and on the floor is a lot cleaner than one without these things. And it’s a lot easier to clean too. Seems like this is pretty self-evident.

Now I know why my father’s bathroom has a faint urine smell all the time, even though he’s not a sloppy person. I’m betting he doesn’t think to ever wipe down the walls when he cleans.
