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?

      Just tell her you’re going to start making rules in the bathroom she has to follow.

    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.

    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.

    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.

        The single greatest take-away I got from medical school, is that some doctors can be incredibly stupid. They’ll examine you, then step out into the hall and google your symptoms. I wish I was being facetious.

    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).

    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

    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 don’t know who really makes fun of how other people pee, 12 year olds on the Internet?

    Usually I stand, but if need to shit I sit or if it’s the middle of the night and I don’t want to turn on lights or sometimes I just feel like it.

    I clean the mat in front of the toilet every week and clean the toilet every few weeks. I do spot wipes daily.

      I’ve never had a conversation as an adult about how I use the bathroom. That’s decades. My bathroom stays clean though.

    Guys who do diss other guys for not peeing standing up have major self esteem issues or insecurities.

    I’m a man and I pee sitting down because:

    • it’s more comfortable
    • it doesn’t splash pee water everywhere all over the toilet bowl and the floor or my pants.
    • can access the toilet paper easier to wipe clean instead of just shaking it and having a wet pee stain on my underwear
    • I have my hands free to use my phone
    • I can also fight anyone that might barge in an try to assault me while I pee without peeing on myself so it’s a tactical defense position.

      Real men sit to pee so they don’t have to clean their own piss up later.

      Whenever I talk about this, some asshat will come along and make a comment about sitting on a tree. No, dumbass, I don’t sit to pee on a tree. Or a urinal. I sit to pee on my toilet at home so I can tell you what an idiot you are while I’m pissing just to prove how manly I am.

        So do you pee with your dick bent backwards between your butt cheeks to piss in the bowl while you face the door?

      it’s more comfortable

      Idk I just don’t think it’s comfortable to sit down and stand up for such a quick thing, not to mention pull my pants down

      Bruh. You’re giving up your best offensive maneuver by sitting down! You piss AT your attacker!

        Usually about 15 to 20 seconds. I’ve been known to check my phone while standing to pee, it really just depends on what I’m doing It’s not like I’m doing a lot on my phone while peeing.

      it’s more comfortable

      Agreed, I will generally sit down.

      It’s solely a matter of comfort and/or convenience:

      • No. 2: Toilet (obviously, I hope).
      • No. 1 on the road or at the pub: Urinal or standing elsewhere.
      • No. 1 otherwise: sit down and relax.

      You fool, the pee is to be used as a standoff weapon to assert space and give time to determine your strategy.

        If your attacker comes from behind, which is the most likely scenario, you’ll be caught off guard with both hands busy holding your junk. All they gotta do is shake you a little for you to be covered in your own piss. Checkmate.

    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 😞

    I don’t know who y’all hang out with, but my friends for decades have given each other shit for anything we can possibly think of. It’s a form of male bonding.
