I would never sit down at a public restroom, or at someone’s house…
But at my own house (where I clean) I pee sitting down.
I’ll even glance at a magazine while I drain.
I especially like this method in the middle of the night.
Pee splashes. It gets EVERYwhere. I know. Like I said, I clean my own bathroom. Sitting minimizes this (oddly enough it doesn’t eliminate it…that shit, er, piss is insidious).
Some men on the Dope have a need to do what others say is “manly.” As far as I’m concerned, a real man does what he wants and doesn’t care what others think.
I always sit first thing in the morning, regardless of elimination. Mind you I often fall asleep again. But I sleep nude so maybe the not-having-to-do-much-to-sit adds to that. I’ve got the junk touching the rim n’ water problem, and I tend to be a hurried person so I don’t care for the extra time it takes, so for all my other ablutionary needs, it’s vertical when possible.
P.S. if a dog could walk on two legs… would it sit?
I propose that we evolve so that we pee through the anus instead of the penis. Then we would all sit down. This is also more efficient and logical because all the bodily waste would go through one port and all the reproduction would go through the other.
There may be a problem with diarrhea but we would get use to it…evenutally.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. Maybe squatting cramps the prostate against the watsit, or something like that - I’m not up on the minutiae of lower plumbing. It certainly is easier to pee standing up.
Pet peeve: you do your number twos, flush, wash your hands, and the experience of the tap running while you’re washing your hands means a return visit for a number one, and a return visit to the bathroom to wash again (toilet and bathroom are separate here). Hate it when that happens.
Oh, and as ouryL pointed out, peeing while seated is more messy than while standing. Maybe different morphologies for different guys?
And I very, very rarely miss when standing up. If I do, I clean up. And I’d know if I didn’t do it properly, because I’m the one who does the domestic chores - I live alone these days, and did them anyway when I was married.
Except both things are pretty freakin cool!
Look, there’s no logical explanation why men who sit to pee are viewed as Nancy-boys. They just are.
Now if you’ll excuse ne, I need to go write my name in pee in the snow so people will see it and know hom awesome I am.
I pee sitting down in the middle of the night because I don’t want to have to turn on the light. The rest of the time I pee standing up.
I also wipe up the area around the toilet after I pee.
I don’t consider it effeminate to pee sitting down, to wear pink or to have feelings, but I also could beat the bloody shit out of the majority of men in this country without half trying.
Real men don’t give a damn whether somebeody considers what they do/say/feel is manly enough or not, because they know they’re real men and don’t ever have to even think about that silly crap.
What about those guys who when they urinate, it’s like crossing the streams in Ghostbusters. I’m talking 45 degree angles here. Uh, not that I’m talking about myself or anything, but those weird guys.
My husband did that. I guess he sat down as he was planning on performing both bodily functions in one bathroom trip. Looks up from his reading and spots this puddle in front of the toilet, and immediately blames the dog. However, reassessing the size of the puddle (our dog’s only 6 pounds) he realises…
Yep. He peed through the gap in the seat and the bowl.
At least he cleaned it all up and didn’t tell me until it was all over. And he’s quite fastidious, so I’m sure it was good cleaning job. Hell, he probably disinfected the floor.
Really, the only thing wrong with it is the same thing that’s wrong with asking another man for directions: it makes sense logically, but then you need to go through the process of getting your testicles back.
Also, for something as quick and easy as pissing, who wants to have to drop their pants.
