I only pee sitting down if I am very tired so 99% of the time I pee standing up. I have a friend who always pees sitting down because he has an inny due to a weight problem. As for the morning wood question, I have an extended bowl toilet (the one that has the egg shaped bowl rather than the round bowl) and there is no way I can sit down and jam my dick underneath the seat on either the large or the small one when hard. I have to stand with morning wood and lean in some really funky positions and push down very hard and hope it doesn’t clamp my urethra off in order to pee in the toilet that way. Either that or just jump in the shower and pee down the drain during my morning shower. 😉 ---

My boyfriend stands unless he gets up in the middle of the night and then he sits. I think it’s because he is half asleep and has no aim…or something like that ---

I dont remember any lines before that, i.e. before the 1970’s. ---

Well, Since no one else has said it yet, I always sit when I pee (wait for it) the doctor told me not to lift anything heavy thank you, I will be here all week. unclviny ---

Perhaps this will qualify for a TMI posting, but I’ll let it go, so to speak. Morning and daily utility pee is done standing, with due diligence as I am the sole bathroom cleaner. Half-asleep pee is accomplished by approaching the fixture head-on and sitting, such that one might rest their head against the wall. The other day I was managing a morning drowsy pee in standing mode when a thousand legger ran across my foot, causing me to anoint the walls, floor and fixture with my essence. Much cursing and cleaning followed. :mad: If only I could have drowned the little bastard! ---

Sometimes I can cure the morning wood before I pee by running cold water over my hands before I take it out. The touch of icy hands on said wood is usually pretty effective. ---

Wow, I cannot believe the amount of guys that sit ALL the time to piss. If you’re takin’ (or leavin’) a crap, I can see it, it’s just quicker that way. But sitting ALL THE TIME? In my parts, I do believe you’d get beat up for something like that. ---

If I were a man, I’d always pee sitting down. I mean you are taking a gamble there. Why risk having to wipe a mess, when you don’t have to? ---

I wasn’t claiming I made a mess sitting down. I was claiming I \* am risking \* a mess more when I sit, which was in reference to !ceQueen’s statement. If I were to stand up carelessly, I would have a problem. I don’t recall ever having much problem aiming standing up, unless it was pitch dark. In which case, I either turn on the light or I’m outside and don’t care. (Perhaps the size of the gun determines accuracy? 😉 ) Personally, I used to prefer girls that appreciated my efforts and then were easily distracted. ---

After years of practicing my aim, I have no reason to sit anymore. But now that someone mentioned it… I gotta ask. Am I the only one here who pee’s in the shower? I take a shower every morning, so I don’t see a reason to go in the toilet, and then take a shower… mines well just do it in the shower, right? And no you two who “leak” a little when going… number 2 aren’t the only ones, it happens to me as well, no big deal… just happens. ~Jukaal~ ---

Depends on the circumstance and energy level. Having MS, sometimes it is far easier and more comfortable to sit. ---

Well, let me point out the unnamed elephant in the room here. As is the case with most things, it’s all about penis size and eye wandering at the urinal. That’ll be 20 Deutchmarks.
