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.
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!
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
So, it doesn’t stop it, but it definitely helps.
Every toilet I’ve seen has a big air gap under the seat even when the seat is down.
Every mask I’ve worn during covid had gaps all around as well
You were wearing it wrong.
Which is why only an N95 or similar has any benefit for the wearer.
Closing the lid makes zero difference.
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.

Nobody’s talking about willfully peeing on the floor, we’re only talking about microscopic amounts of pee mist that could drift away from the stream when you’re peeing from 50 cm from the bowl instead of 10 cm from the bowl.

There is one, embrace the sink. Become a sink pisser, it’s just like a pissoir which you wash your hands and face in!
by your own logic, why bother using the toilet, or even having one? Just pee on the floor like a real man. I mean you clean it anyways.
The frequency of cleaning should presumably be proportional to the amount of piss and other unwanted substances making their way onto the floor
If you stay seated it’s just your legs that get aerosolized and that’s even easier to wash
Unless you take a bath / shower immediately after using the toilet, you’re then walking around with a thin coating of waste on you all day.
Like you don’t do that just by living.
You guys should never check out videos about how many bacteria and way worse stuff that lives on us, in our ears and so on lol.
If you’re not using a bidet, or wetting up your toilet paper before wiping with it, that happens, anyway.
I just don’t want to piss on other peoples floor. Its one thing to piss on my floor and for me to clean it up, its another thing to piss on someone elses floor and expect them to clean it up.
So, don’t piss on other people’s floors. Aim better. You can still do that while standing up.
AOE/Splash damage 🤷
If that escapes the bowl, you’re doing it wrong.
Maybe. If only my urethra would mimick those fancy handmade Japanese tea pots.
Just lean over the toilet tf
A lot of short kings don’t have this issue.
If you’re a taller dude, not only do you get backsplash on the floor, but on your legs as well.
You either have to piss straight into the water which is just an obnoxious sound, or you piss on the porcelain and get backsplash.
If you dont believe me, pour some water into a cup normally, and pour some water into a cup from 30cm higher.
Totally. Which highlights another aspect of seated superiority: effort. Peeing while seated is absolutely fool proof. Absolutely no focus required. Why concentrate when you can day dream? And it never goes wrong. You’re never surprised. Post sex, drunk, in complete darkness, tou never miss, ever.
Skill issue
I mean, I’m usually a sitter but sometimes there’s a knot in my back that, well when it relaxes it uncorks the damn dam. Sometimes you gotta do calisthenics to get the juices flowing
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
Sir, please don’t sit in the urinal.
Is this not a free country?
Which country?
Yeah, I sit when I pee.
Target practice
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 to pee at home. Out in the wild no fuckin’ way.
No splashback.
No aiming.
Sometimes the tip touches the bowl and you feel like you should get tested… even at home…
Dafuq
If you’ve never had that happen then be glad. But I wonder if you have a big toilet or small pp
Don’t know how the toilets work in your country/neck of the woods, but 'round here there’s a good 8-10 inches clearance between the water and my ass. I ain’t hung like a fuckin donkey.
The tip touches the cheramic inside of the bowl in the upper part of the toilet, not the water
In bathrooms built before 2000 are all too short my tall ass. In the summers my balls would touch the water cuz it is so hot.
It usually isn’t the water, it’s the bowl in front
Probably both
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.
You’re lucky they put the knives down before grabbing. Or not, I don’t know your circumstances.
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 agree: peeing while in line really keeps things moving 🫡
Sitting down is also more quiet. Just dip the tip in the water and go for it.
Ah yes the lemonade percolator, classic.
There’s a very specific tuck you have to perform to prevent that while not stopping the stream. The struggle is real.
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
I’ve been seeing a girl recently and been trying to sit rather than stand. She owns her own home alone so to me it feels very rude to piss all over the floor and seat, even if its just a drop or two that gets away from the bowl. If i wanna stand so badly I’ll just go with her dogs in the yard.
I’m pretty sure she won’t like you shitting in the yard with the dogs.
I doubt she’d want me standing to that on the toilet either so standing shits are unfortunately delegated to the bathtub and waffle stomp treatment
Grandpappy always said, if a lady doesn’t appreciate a good wafflestomp, then she isn’t worth keeping.
He also insisted Jesus told him aspirin and bacon fat enemas were the cure for cancer, so take his advice at your own peril.
Well the bacon fat does help the aspirin slide in so it makes sense to me.
When you’re sitting, you can empty your bladder more
I always hear people say this but I have the opposite. I can sit, pee and finish, then stand up, turn around and magically pee a few cl more :-/
I can tell you exactly when I started sitting to pee. The day after I took over the bathroom cleaning chore.
only 90 seconds of peace
This man needs to shit more
…standing.
Maybe he’s secretly a woman. Everyone knows women don’t poop!
This is a pisspost not a shitpost
