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?
Where do these questions even come from? Unless ts a challenge like peeing off a cliff, why would anyone care? Why would it even come up in conversation? Aside from one guy on Lemmy, who even brings it up?
I jusg imagined someone sitting to pee off a cliff, thanks.
There is definitely culturally element to it… In American bro culture sitting down to piss is a beta behaviour!
But you have appreciate that this is coming from people who can’t wipe their own asses proply and piss all over toilet seats, so there is that.
Bidets, man. Game changer for those new to them. It’s wild how many Americans smear poo and never have fully clean buttholes. In most cultures outside US it’s healthier and cleaner to sit within your own home. Better for your prostate, and less splashing, even if you 100% the toilet you still get splashing.
Public urinals I get it. Don’t touch anything mentality, just make sure you dab out so you don’t even leave a drop because that causes smells and bacteria. Which is much easier to dab while sitting.
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 😞
Kind of a weird hill to die on, ngl
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.
Is this still a thing that people get upset about though? Personally I think a man sitting down just to pee is kind of silly, but I certainly wouldn’t make fun or get upset about it. I think the last time I heard someone make a joke about men sitting to pee was like 15 years ago lol
I will say the option to stand up is one of my favorite male privileges, but I’m also aware that such a petty thing to fav probably indicates my lack of perspective. But it is incredibly convenient in gross places and nowhere places.
I only stand in public at urinals.
Having to clean my own bathroom put a stop to the standing at home.
I cant ever recall a time I have questioned, or been questioned, as to why a guy would sit to pee. I sit at home because its more comfortable. I stand at public toilets because the seats are gross
I’ve only been questioned once about sitting to pee… it was after about 10 years of being married. My wife asked one day if I sit while peeing at home, and when I told her that I do she said “I’ve always wondered why there isn’t pee all over our bathrooms”.
This leads me to two questions:
Do you guys often miss while standing and, if you do, not clean up after?
When you’re sitting do you not have an issue with the pee splashing UP the side of the bowl onto the seat? I have this happen often.
Do you guys often miss while standing and, if you do, not clean up after? Yes… and, sadly, not always. Just take a look around a urinal (which shouldn’t be difficult at all to miss) and I don’t think this is just a ‘me’ issue.
When you’re sitting do you not have an issue with the pee splashing UP the side of the bowl onto the seat? I have this happen often. The biggest issue I typically have is the toilet water is really cold if I accidentally hang down into it, but I normally don’t have a problem with pee hitting the sides of the bowl.
Wow look at mister long dong over here reaching all the way into the water
Yours doesn’t do that? I thought everybody did that because if you submerge it you can pee really quietly.
Missing isn’t really the issue but the splash is pretty unavoidable when you piss from height.
After 10 years of marriage you haven’t been comfortable to pee with the other still in the bathroom?
We will make fun of how you hold a spoon. It doesn’t mean anything, were just giving each other shit.
looks at your username
Wait, do you poop while standing up?
Don’t tell me you’re one of those scrubs who poops sitting down
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.
I’m a man and I pee sitting down because:
it’s more comfortableAgreed, 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.
How long do you pee that you have time to acces your phone though?
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.
Never turn your back to the bathroom door
So do you pee with your dick bent backwards between your butt cheeks to piss in the bowl while you face the door?
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.
Real men pee however they want and make sure not to leave a mess for the next bathroom user. Standing or sitting has nothing to do with masculinity.
Agreed, just making a joke because of the context.
Amen brother
Hahahahahaha! “dO yOu SiT aT a UrInAl Or On A tReE?” That is some wrinkle-free brain logic right there.
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.
Learning the garden sprinkler technique is dick management 101.
The one that slaps the water that goes
Tsh tsh tsh tsh tsh
TRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I lay down to pee.
That a whole
'nother
Level
Now I lay me down to pee…
I pray the Lord will also leak.
- My wife makes me
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.
Bruh. You’re giving up your best offensive maneuver by sitting down! You piss AT your attacker!
“What is that? An umbrella? Are you afraid of a little rain? Are you gay? What’s the umbrella for, so you can stick it up your ass?”
I’m ripping off Bill Burr here. Macho men are drooling morons who die at age 54. Why ask them their opinion on anything?
There will always be insecure men (and people in general) who criticize others over nonsense topics that they’ve convinced themselves is proof they aren’t whatever insecure thing they’re afraid of being.
Asks for one group to respond - gets the opposite.
Do whatever the hell you want but don’t dirty my bathroom floor is my mindset.
My opinion is if you’re worried about how other men go to the bathroom you gay as fuck
This is a joke. Please don’t ban me
The King James Bible has the phrase those who “pissith against the wall” several times. In context it’s pejorative for the rude class or enemies of King David, but Christians who insist on the KJV struggle to read and understand it, and have taken it as God’s own description of male. and therefore pissing standing up isn’t just an aspect of masculinity, but it’s essence.
I want to hear answers from men who really detest men who sit to pee.
I fear that you will not many of these kinds of people on Lemmy. If you really want a good answer, you’d have to post it somewhere like Twitter or Truth Social.
I would never give a damn what others do in a bathroom, aside from: don’t make a mess. (Or clean it yourself right then.)
I stand to pee and am observant that I do not make a mess. I aim such that there is no mess and am critical of cleanliness. If I had a miss, I would clean it then and there. I clean my own bathroom every week at least and do not see evidence of failure in my technique.
YMMV and that’s ok. Worrying about others is a weird self esteem thing.
