I’ll guess I’ll admit to sitting.
The reason is that I’m tall and short at the same time - if you get my drift - at least when in the relaxed state.
Sitting is easier & cleaner, therefore, then precision aiming.
When in a public restroom, I’ll stand at a urinal - although I hate those really low mounted ones.

Why sit to pee? I don’t even do that when I poo.
About the morning wood issue… stand back a step from the bowl and lean forward until your palms are flush against the wall behind the toilet. This manuver should more closely align your arc with the toilet opening and is commonly known as The Flying Superman. Weaving to avoid oncoming buildings is optional.
And if you’ve got a really big one, that doesn’t get completely hard, you can do what we call The Flying Nun, where you stand there, holding your arms out like Sally Field…for balance…and let it fly.
“You like pee, you really really like pee!”
Until the SDMB, I never knew any guys sat down to pee. Fighting ignorance indeed.
Just one question…do you ever wash your hands (or hand)?
I still don’t understand the logic that some guys sit when they have erections.
Pointing it down and leaning a little bit is very little trouble. The few times I’ve had an erection and had to poo were very messy, painful, and uncomfortable.
That said, I do sit when I fear that poo is on its way.
What, you’re supposed to clean it? Is that why my family won’t visit me any more? 
Yep – we can. If you go outside, you can get a nice arc, and not worry about hitting the floor, walls, ceiling…
Admittedly, it makes aiming more difficult in the bathroom – but I guess most of us come up with some sort of position or stance to handle the problem. 
I pee in the bowl…not on my hands.
If my wife doesn’t mind putting it in her mouth, then it’d be kinda insluting for me to wash my hands after just holding it, now wouldn’t it?
My dad’s urologist advised him to start sitting after all the procedures he had. He got used to it because he had to, for medical reasons.
mandielese: I’ve tried the standing thing too–and I can actually do it, though I choose not to most of the time.
superbee, you apparently haven’t read this classic from the Master.
Perhaps the OP should have had a second question …
I stand so I don’t dip it into the stupid water. Nothing worse first thing in the morning than having to clean your penis of toilet water. 
My husband always sat to pee. He had trouble standing for any length of time, and was just more comfortable.
