I’m not really looking to hear from people who don’t think this way, with answers like “insecurity”, “toxic masculinity”, etc. I want to hear answers from men who really detest men who sit to pee.

Follow-up questions:

  • when you have to piss while shitting, do you stand up turn around and piss on your shit and then sit back down to finish shitting?
  • are you ever groggy in the morning?
  • how clean is your toilet and surrounding floor, and whose job is cleaning it?
  • what are your true passions in life?

    I always prefer to sit unless I’m in a huge hurry. It’s called a restroom for a reason. I’m going to take a break, browse Lemmy or something, and otherwise “rest”. I’ll return to work when I’m ready.

    What really pisses me off is when I hear someone enter another stall to take a standing piss. They rarely put the seat up and always get pee all over everything. If you’re going to stand, use a urinal. There’s nothing more pathetic than being afraid to whip your dick out beside your fellow man, and instead, choose to piss on the place where others want to take a sit.

    When I was in medical school, I had to drop a deuce during a break between lectures. While I was in there, performing spectacularly, some other guy came into the restroom (situated just outside the lecture hall) and shouted “Is somebody takin’ a shit in here!?”

    and I was just like, “…yeah, where else would I do it?”

    But I feel like that guy who openly questioned why someone would shit in a bathroom, is exactly the same type of guy that would question someones masculinity over how they choose to take a piss.

    I’m a cis-bi man married to a cis-gay man: I had to tell him to sit his ass on the toilet to piss because the area around the toilet was constantly filthy. I cannot believe still to this day how difficult it was to convince him why it is a good idea to just sit down to piss. If you cannot control the stream direction and shape perfectly when you piss (spoiler alert, you cannot), then sit down where you can spray the toilet bowl.

      That was exactly my reasoning when I switched to sitting every time. Sometimes the stream just decides to pick some unpredictable direction to start, if I sit down I’ve got a hemisphere of protection and no need to clean my piss off the floor (or worse, leave that for someone else).

      That’s not quite true for everyone. With good hygiene and, if necessary, making sure to roll things loose, you can make sure you pee perfect every time.

      At least, I can. And I’m certain I’m not alone in that

    Because the toilet touches your ass therefore automatically making you gay, bro. Same reason some men don’t wipe their asshole.

    I wish I was kidding.

    Don’t think I’ve ever heard of someone dissing anyone over this. Sitting is objectively cleaner; micro droplets.

      Oh I have. A while ago like, 20 years ago maybe. If a male was suspected of being gay, some assholes would ask him if he sat to pee.

      I sit to pee often and I was “wtf, should I not do it?”, and decided I didn’t give a fuck and that they were assholes.

    I just discovered the joys of sitting to pee this past year. I just never thought about it before, and only sat to pee if I had to poop too… though I can’t say I ever cared whether someone else sat or stood to pee

    But I had two separate fainting spells while standing to pee after getting out of bed (orthostatic hypotension), and almost really hurt myself the second time. Now, I often sit to pee at home because it’s just more comfortable (and apparently safer). Live and learn I guess

    I’ve not seen that happening.

    I’ve only ever seen women and sometimes other men dissing men who stand to pee.

    Who care how someone else uses the bathroom.

    Your questions.

    1. no. That’s silly. If you are doing #2, you do both sitting.

    2. yes, but decades of practice mean I can stand and pee in nearly any mental state

    3. reasonably clean. I’ve good aim and we clean the floor regularly

    4. to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the women!

    I sit to pee because my dick is pierced so now I have two pee holes. If i have nothing in, I can plug the hole and stand. Besides that, sometimes I’m not in the mood to stand, sometimes I’m not in the mood to undo my pants and take them down.

    -I spend 15 minutes every morning shitting and pissing and then shitting some more, so I stay seated for the entire feature presentation. -I’m groggy every fucjin morning -it’s a little dirty and hairy, I try to clean once a week but my back hurts so sometimes I’m just like fuuuuuuuuck that. Sometimes I find piss stains on the underside of the toilet seat and wonder how that got there while I clean it

    I guess it is just kinda “girly” and can seem a bit “whipped” if it is from your SO telling you to do it. I think those are the common instinctive answers.

    My wife does the bathroom cleaning while I do other things like the vacuuming and dishes. The first time I had to clean the bathrooms and saw the amount of splatter I never peed standing again in our or any friends’ bathrooms. I still have the option of peeing standing in public urinals and in the wild, so no “masculinity” is lost anyway, not that I give sexist bullshit the time of day anyway.

    I’m afraid I really have no answers for you… but then again I don’t think I’m your survey pool.

    But I did once stay at a small hotel in Germany that had a sticker imploring male guess to sit and pee. I pissed all over that poor toilet before we left.

    15 years later I feal guilt but also righteous indignation. I really hate being told what to do apparently… even when there are good reasons like another human being, asking you to not make their life hard 😞

        In retrospect… yes.

        I offered the story as a kind of parable (except not because I didn’t make it up) or random data point if you will, on pissing standing up.
