Sitting is 10 times better. Easier to pee, no need to aim, no splash so you don't fuck up the bathroom. But I'd use a urinal over any toilet when I'm outside because 1) it's faster 2) I don't want to sit down on a common toilet).
If all you touched was the outside of your outerpants and the waistband of your unders, there's no need to wash your hands either!
Total agreement with this guy as long as I don't need to touch any door handles.
Alas, I'm female so that's pretty much never.
We conclude that the sitting posture is the best position for men with urination problems, e.g. due to an enlarged prostate to urinate in, whereas no difference was found in healthy men
Buried near the bottom. Clickbait headline.
I'm waiting for the StandUp to Poo study
Yeah, a study that compares the benefits of using a toilet vs the benefits of pooping the way East Asians traditionally do (a "hole" on the ground).
And if I recall, the results were that squatting is actually better at lining up all of the anatomy for least effort in evacuation. As a result there was a suggestion of a lower incidence of haemorrhoids.
Boo OP
Thanks.
I'm a woman now and technically, they didn't say it's wrong for a woman to stand while she pees.
Oops this is Men's Liberation. Sorry. Back to lurking. Good luck, men.
The title should be prepended with the word: Older. Sitting to pee is better for men with prostate issues.
I regularly sit down to pee because the toilet in my van has a divider which diverts all the solids to the back and the liquids to a storage tank in the front. Good to know it's also healthy for my prostate.
My bathroom is carpeted. I've sat to pee for years, and now default to it everywhere. Plus, fewer issues with drippage.
My problem is that I drip when I stand up even after I'm "finished". It feels easier to get every last drop out when I stand up.
Also, I could never have carpet in my bathroom. That just sounds like a breeding ground for mold and mildew just from the humidity of showering even if you are sitting down to avoid sprinkling droplets of pee everywhere.
Protip: when you're done, doesn't matter sitting or standing, push on your taint. It often helps clear the plumbing and prevents dripping. Was a life changer when I found that trick.
I think an elongated seat/toilet makes sitting down much easier and more comfortable. Round seats/toilets really suck for a man.
Round seats are best because you can tuck your willy under the seat and there's no chance of it popping up. Also the cool ceramic underside of the toilet seat helps stimulate urine flow
What a terrible day to be literate.
Preach
In public I use the urinal or sit down. At home I sit down. Sometimes peeing makes me want to shit anyway even if I wasn't planning to originally.
I just enjoy the short break! If I start stressing myself while peeing, where do I stop?!
Could always just get a litter box. Way more convenient.
I don't even sit when I shit
When I'm in a hurry I stand, when I'm chill I sit down - obviously not in public restrooms.
Also German insider: you will find passive aggressive signs for people to sit down to pee in quite some homes.
Damn sitzpinklers and their elitist signage
In America if you sit to pee, your dick touches the water
Long dick daddy from Cincinnati
Yeah...totally...hate it when that happens😒
I hate when I need to shit in public and can't find a toilet without actual excrement on the seat. No way in hell am I enduring that just to piss.
I mean just use a diaper and you can sit to pee anywhere!
When in your own home, just do it the way god intended: kneeling. (it's really quite nice)
My sons were toilet trained by their daycare, for which I am eternally grateful. But they taught my boys to pee standing up, which they probably won't give up until they get phones.
Their accuracy is 95% at best.
Sitting prevents the smartphone from falling into the toilet.
This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.
Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people
Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.
