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?

    As a man WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU TELLING ME HOW YOU PEE!?! What god damn conversation is going on!?! How the hell did this come up? We don’t normally talk about this!

    My true passion in life is Aztec history.

    I mostly sit down when I pee because my cat likes to spend quality time when I’m on the toilet and he gets upset if into in the bathroom and don’t sit down.

    Remember manliness is not caring about how other people define manliness.

    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.

      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.

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

      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.

      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 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 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.

          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.

    I always sit to pee when I’m at home, mostly so I don’t have to worry about spray/drippage/seat positions, but I also believe that men have this amazing power where we have the ability to stand and pee… and I think the biggest flex you can make when you have amazing power is to only use that power when it makes sense. Restraint is power.

        No, more like using a pen to write about how important the 2nd amendment is, without actually needing to own a gun first.

        But, like, what point do you think I was trying to make? That if I don’t sit down to pee then I won’t be able to pee standing? I’m really confused at your attempt to shoehorn politics into a conversation about piss.

            It’s okay to simply be wrong and admit it you know. Much more honorable as well. Being silly with a political joke, is still being political.

                Hah, I’m totally making an assumption here, but I’m willing to bet you’re the type who tests the temperature of the room by saying something mildly political like this, and then if things go well, you’ve successfully hijacked a conversation - and if they don’t, you just back off and pull the “it was just a joke, I was being funny”…

                Unfortunately you backed yourself into a corner here because the “it was just a joke!” doesn’t really land well when you’re trying to inject politics into a conversation that has literally nothing to do with them. I know I’m kinda hard calling you out here, but I’m just saying - it’s not a good look.

                  That’s a lot and I’m not going to read it. I promise you that I care exactly as much about your opinion as you do mine. You should go touch grass if you’re so worked up that you can write two paragraphs moaning about a joke you didn’t get. It’s guys like you give us guys that sit down to pee a bad name.

    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.
