    No splashback.

    No aiming.

    Sometimes the tip touches the bowl and you feel like you should get tested… even at home…

    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’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?

        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!

        If you stay seated it’s just your legs that get aerosolized and that’s even easier to wash

    I’ve turned too old… If I sit not all comes out and I have to go again an hour later.

    It sucks.

    My doctor tells me it’s that I’m just getting older… I’m mid 40.

    So standing is the only really effective way to pee for me now sadly

    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.

    When I became the bathroom-cleaner in my household, I switched to sitting. It wasn’t until I got my nose and eyeballs right down close to the floor and the toilet on a regular basis that I learned how bad the splashing situation really was.

    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.

    I sit down when I pee
    There’s nothing that crazy ‘bout me
    I’m just takin’ a whiz, mind your own biz
    Why is everybody always staring at me?

    Hey bro, I gotta go
    Let me through, I gotta go number two

    No can do, I’m taking a pee
    Sitting on the loo, having a good long wee

    Are you sitting down?

    I’m sitting down

    And you’re not making brown?

    I’m not making brown

    Are you making iced tea?

    Just lemonade

    But are you sitting down?

    I’m sitting down!

    Why don’t you stand like a regular man?
    Then you can pee in the urinal can

    If you really wanna know why I’m sitting strong
    I just can’t stand touching my dong

    I sit. It’s comfortable, and you don’t need to clean up any messes from splashback.

    Depends what I’m doing. Escaping work? Sit. Half asleep? Sit. Just trying to get shit done but I’m having this annoying ass interruption? Stand. Watering the graves of assholes? Stand. Anything else is basically sit. Oh except gross toilets you really don’t want to touch.

    There are a few medical studies that promote sitting because the muscles men use to urinate relax more while sitting.
