Men: do you ever pee sitting down?

Note: for this poll, I’m not talking about when you pee at the same time that you poop, because you’re almost certainly sitting down for that.

I voted for about half the time, because I usually sit down at home and stand everywhere else. I generally just have boxers on at home, so I don’t have to go through the trouble of unbuckling my belt, unzipping my pants, etc. Therefore, I find it just as easy to sit down as stand. Plus, there’s the added benefit of being less messy–I don’t have to clean the seat or the back of the rim nearly as often. Anywhere else, I have pants on and therefore find it much easier to stay standing. I’d also be afraid of someone making fun of me if they noticed me sitting down to pee in a public restroom.

I voted “rarely” because when I’m constipated, I often pee sitting down but don’t poop. However, your comment in the OP could mean I should have put “never.”

I put “never” but I forgot about occasions when I think I need to poop but don’t (thanks, Superhal).

What kind of weird creep is taking notes on what you’re doing in a bathroom stall?

Me: I always sit in a public restroom. Color me shy.

I tried that, kept falling off the urinal.

I voted sometimes, but less than half the time. Whenever I wake up for a middle-of-the-night pee, I always sit down. Makes things a hell of a lot easier and less potentially messy.

Only if one needs to simultaneously barf in the bathtub for some reason.

Only when I poop.

I have to pee sitting down, because my doctor told me to avoid lifting heavy objects.

“Usually.” Why stand when you can sit? I’ve got 900 page books that I’ve read one paragraph at a time…

At home, when it’s dark and I don’t want to blind myself with light or pee on the floor. If I don’t want a cat to bug me and possibly look into the toilet while I’m peeing. If I just feel like it.

ValosZ: Because toilets are not designed be to comfortable. My leg always goes to sleep on one if I sit too long.

I only put about half the time because my dizziness problems sometimes force me to sit, and I also do it in the dark like thelurkinghorror.

Oh, maybe we should put in an exception for medical conditions where you don’t have a choice of standing or sitting?

When I’m sleepy - last thing at night, small hours, on waking in the morning. Otherwise I stand up.

If I’m wearing light colored pants and I just don’t want to take the risk.

Sometimes when I’m on the phone and don’t want them to hear me peeing.

Never. I have never even contemplated the possibility that some men may consider doing this.

I poop standing up.

Even when I was on crutchs and wearing a leg brace after shattering my kneecap I found it easier to stand to pee that to sit down. I always stand (unless of course I’m doing #2).

When I’m too sleepy to aim.
