Guess I’m the first to say I kneel to pee ('cept in public restrooms of course - yechhy floors and all). Being especially tall, my shot from willie to bowl is a bit more of a distance than it is for most people. (hey - stop that snickering…) Even if I did have perfect aim there’s splashback problems from that height. Kneeling = no more wet ankles after a piss. Plus, it also elegantly solves that diverging streams issue when it surprises you (and I’m thankful to see other people mentioning…).
Sitting down to pee if you’re a guy is blasphemy!
Unless you’re already sitting down to take a shiat.
Stander with primary responsibility here. I have good aim.
And if I get a case of the morning-divurgent-stream-syndrome, well then I wipe up the mess and be done with it. It’s a small price to pay for the convenience of pissing while standing up.
Rules to live by: Never run when you can walk; never stand when you can sit; never sit when you can lie down. 'Nuff said.
Kneel.
Standing, I can unzip, whip it out, pee, put it back, and leave. In order to sit, I have to unbelt, unbutton my pants, pull 'em down, sit, pee, then put everything back on…too much time, plus, it’s just WRONG.
I used to sit all the time until I got to my late teens then it was standing all the time, unless I have an erection or I’m going poo also.
I am a sitter, but would like to plea my case.
When Mrs. YEP and I first moved in together we our first duty on the morning was to pee. I began sitting to warm the seat up before Mrs. YEP sat. Now I do it out of habit.
Will that work???
Can I keep my “I am a Man” card.
I sit. It goes back to my dad telling his younger sons (the dude had eight boys) that as a courtesy to my mom, we should pee sitting down (I guess a few of my brothers had poor aim). He also said that we shouldn’t get hung up on it being too feminine. I was like nine at the time and had no idea why it would be considered feminine. It has stuck with me till now and my g/fs over the years seem to find it amusing.

The only time I sit down to take a pee is when I’m doing a No. 2 (or a Mr. 2, as I prefer to call them) and during the general commotion, a No. 1 just sort of spontaneously explodes into being. Come to think of it, this actually happens pretty much every time I go to take a Mr. 2. And yet, I’m always surprised by it.
Waste elimination perplexes me.
Wait a sec… I thought guys couldn’t pee when they’re hard??? You can? In that case, how does sitting down help if you’re sticking straight up anyhoo???
mandielise - hard peniis are still SOMEWHAT flexible. I’m guessing they manhandle them into position.
Female who usually sits but will pee standing if a public restroom looks nasty enough (after lifting the seat and following with cleanup - I don’t want to leave any surprises for those who come after, thank you)
We just had this thread a month or so ago. And for the record I sit and in the last thread only a couple of guys were not ashamed to admit it.
Venoma, just a slight nitpick…
A hard penis, under normal circumstances, may be somewhat flexible. However, as any guy can tell you, the average case of Morning Glory is about as flexible as a tree trunk fashioned out of granite.
Just so you know. Next time you wake up next to someone and catch them pitching a tent, be careful. Mishaps can and will cause more than their fair share of tears.
I have never seen a guy sit to pee. I think I would likely laugh my ass off. Wtf??
At home I stand unless I have guests visiting, in which case I will sit as I don’t like the noise generated from peeing into the toilet bowl (even through a closed door) to call attention to what I am doing. Likewise I will sit if I am in someone else’s home (also to prevent the inevitable splatters).
Bingo. I live alone and choose not to hire a cleaning person, so I sit. I’d only stand if I could have a bathroom large enough to install a separate urinal - a teacher I worked with in Japan had one and I thought, Yeah, that’s cool. I never knew you could buy one for home.
Otherwise, it’s just too much risk of mess.
Ok then Fnoonf, answer my question: how does sitting help a hard guy get it in the toilet? Wouldn’t it just hit the ceiling? Also, I thought it was physically impossible to pee when you’re hard - something about the urethra only being able to excrete one bodily fluid at a time, and when you’re hard you’re hard-wired to a certain fluid.
mandielise , there’s pointing-to-the-ceiling-hard and then there’s pointing-at-the-wall-hard. It may still take a bit for the latter state to become completely flaccid and allow a guy to stand and pee. But since it’s not completely hard and the fella’s got to go, it’s diplomatically decided that it’ll let us take a piss. Taking into account that the penis in the form of a diving board, it won’t point down enough for standing. It will work if one sits, leans a little forward and maybe help it to point down with one’s hand.
I hope that help. Is it ok to give out our secret bathroom rituals?

He he he. Thanx polish! I hope the rest of the guys here don’t take away your privileges… perhaps I’ll let you in on a few women’s room secrets.
