If I am only going to urinate and the place has a urinal, stand. Else, sit.
I've been a devoted sitter for a while. If you stand, you are peeing on your floor. Maybe not a lot, maybe not even a perceptible amount on any individual trip, but definitely some, and over time, a lot. I'm of the opinion it's weird to pee on your own floor, and have been enthusiastically lambasted for this on multiple occasions. Some men for example find it unmanly. Which, putting aside for a moment the fact that there is no inherent correlation with manliness and goodness, is bullshit. Unless they stand to pee when pooping, they already pee sitting down on a regular basis. All I'm doing is increasing the frequency of seated micturation.
You're weird because apparently you don't clean your bathroom floors.
Sure, microscopic amounts of pee gets on the floor. Then, every couple of weeks you clean your bathroom.
You know that when you flush a toilet you aerosolize a bit of the contents and they drift out and land around the room too. Does that bother you?
Every couple of WEEKS?
Yes?
That’s why you close the lid to flush… That absolutely bothers me, I wear retainers and they clean in a solution on the counter during the day. I don’t want pee on them or my toothbrush!
I'm sorry to tell you this but closing the lid doesn't stop viral aerosol contamination and it's been researched https://www.ajicjournal.org/article/S0196-6553(23)00820-9/fulltext
I guess I would just say that I feel the acceptable amount for one to pee on their own floor willfully is none. Flushing may present a new issue after the fact, but I can't see a way around flushing. I can however see a way around electing to pee in a sloppy manner because I'm lazy. Though arguably sitting is famously more comfortable than standing, so perhaps impatient would be more accurate than lazy.
After moving into my own house as a teen, I always sit at home. I'm the dude who has to clean the washroom.
At a public place with a urinal, I'll stand. I always feel weird sitting on it.
As a man, I don't justify my choice of peeing positions to anyone. I sit or stand if I want to, and anyone who doesn't like it can fuck off and take their opinions with them.
I too am pro-choice
I've worked in one of those oldhead machine shops where they deliberately don't have any chairs in the work area because "if you're not standing you're not working." You bet I sat my ass down on the toilet instead of using the urinal.
No splashback.
No aiming.
Sometimes the tip touches the bowl and you feel like you should get tested..... even at home.....
Sit home, stand elsewhere
Sitter here.
I have toddlers, twins. They get mesmerised by the laminar flow in the wee and try to grab it.
I guess before I had kids I would wonder why the kids are present for this event but toddlers are super busy, super active, and super curious. You can be watching them juggle knives in the kitchen or whatever and decide to just take a moment to go wee and slink away and they just kinda teleport to your location and try to grab your wee stream.
If you're sitting then you have both hands available to fend off curious hands.
The one trick that I rely on multiple times a day is redirection. "Don't touch daddies wee" translates to "daddies wee is super interesting". However, "Look at this amazing square of toilet paper" is received more or less as stated.
Sitting down is also more quiet. Just dip the tip in the water and go for it.
Ah yes the lemonade percolator, classic.
I was kind of pressured by my girlfriend to sit, and in the beginning I didn't like it because I felt pressured. However, after sitting for a while, I discovered that it's absolutely the best choice. When you're sitting, you can empty your bladder more. You're comfortable, you're resting, and you don't have to aim. You don't have to do anything. You're just sitting there, emptying your bladder.
Urinators of the world unite! You have nothing to lose, but your pants! ✊
My wife got me to sit too lol. I had never really considered it before, but I'm never going back, unless it's a public bathroom
Sitting is not only superior, it's also optimal for proper urination. This is not my opinion. A pelvic PT professional told me this. I only stand rarely. Mostly when I'm in a public restroom with a urinal.
I sit to pee at home. Out in the wild no fuckin' way.
As an owner of girlcock, i do pee while sitting, unless i have to use public restroom, then i pee standing. Public toilets are way to creepy and gross for me to touch them.
This is a pisspost not a shitpost
I can tell you exactly when I started sitting to pee. The day after I took over the bathroom cleaning chore.
This is gonna sound.. ok... Here goes.. I cannot sit. My penis is so long it hits the bowl. When I poop, I have to hold it up.
I'm not kidding when I say a "big dick" is not fun. It REALLY is not.
So many examples of it not being fun.....
Maybe you could start using the adult sized toilets rather than the kiddies ones?
I find the only advantage of having a big dick is the confidence that comes from having a big dick in a society that values that. Everything else is a pain in the ass.
Absolutely stand.
Sitting has a number of problems, for me it's mainly dick touching the toilet seat and it's impossible to pee all the way with the dick curved inside the bowl. And, if it's a public toilet, it's simply nasty.
It is completely possible to avoid splashing and noises and spreading pee around while peeing standing. Just aim slightly away from water, and if your aim is bad, clean whatever mess you could make.
Also, urinals are superior pissing devices and should be used when possible.
Standing is just gross. Pee mists everywhere, even if you have perfect aim. All around the toilet and the wall and floor near it.
And if you need proof of this, visit the house of a bachelor that never cleans.
Sitting unless I'm in the forest.
Im not interested in getting pee splash on my pants, shoes and floor for macho points.
Ever peed standing while wearing shorts? It's disgusting. Just sit down like a civilized person. Or clean the toilet yourself, properly, so you know how nasty it is to wipe away pee splatters all over the place from you and all other men who didn't sit down.
Sitting down is also much more relaxing.
Or how about: don't shame anyone about how they prefer to pee, as long as they leave a clean toilet afterwards?
I do like to sit, but it's a lot harder to get those last few drops out. Sometimes I think I'm all good and then I stand up just to have a few more drops get pushed out right into my pants or underwear. That is definitely not elite.
No matter how you shake and dance, the last few drops fall on your pants.
Stand and dab with toilet paper
Sit at home, stand in public
