Question for the guys. Who else here sits down to pee?

If it's the middle of the night and I'm half asleep, definitely! Prevents inaccurate aiming issues that can upset others!

As the years have gone by (in my 70's now) the stram, once plentiful, has slowed down to a dribble. Sitting down now makes things easier even if you have to pull up your pants and tuck in the shirt.

Normally I pee standing...but... I was staying several nights with my next door neighbor at his mother’s. The main bathroom was busy and I needed desperately to pee. I was told to use the bathroom off the master bedroom and I accidentally walked in on his mother taking a douche. She was nude and straddling the bidet. She told me she didn't want me to splash my urine on her. Sensing my desperation she pointed at the toilet and In a stern very dominating tone she ordered "Be a good girl. Now, sit your sissy ass on the toilet and piss in it!". Obediently I pulled down my panties and sat and I peed in the toilet like a cowering sissy ...and I peed ...and I peed.

Never really sat down. My brother really had a problem peeing in Public urinals. He would stand there until no one was around. I learned to clear your head and let it fly. I wouldn't want to sit down and have willie in the water

I usually sit (unless it's a public toilet). It creates less splashing. Even if you think it's all going into the bowl, a fine mist probably rises up and settles on nearby surfaces. After a while, you can smell it.

Due to various urological issues, prostate problems, etc., I have been sitting for decades. It is more comfortable. It allows me to fully empty my bladder. It keeps my toilet area clear of having wayward urine splash/spray all over the place. I’ll sit in public restrooms, too, if they are clean.

Hah! @TM48, I do but for different reasons. I carry my weight around my waist & just get tired of peeing on the floor, the toilet rim or on my jeans or shoes.

I do, whenever possible. It's just cleaner. Especially when not in a dedicated Men's room.

I do tend to feel shy when trying to use the urinals standing next to another guy without the divider, which is becoming less common, but it does inhibit me. Some seem so cavalier to the point of exposing themselves. It makes for an uncomfortable thing. I don't like having someone rub up against me - I want space between me and the next guy when peeing. For these reasons, I do prefer to use a stall.

Overall, I really get the creeps when using most public bathrooms due to their lack of cleanliness. It is just gross to use them because you find urine all over the floor, seat, or unflushed BMs. I would hate to see their own private bathrooms. I don't get how it becomes mission impossible to be thoughtful!

The neighborhood's main diner has its men's toilet seat always clean--I guess, give credit to both the staff and the patrons.

I usually do. Especially in the middle of the night. It’s just easier to keep the toilet clean.

Adding to previous posts here, what first started me to sit to pee was as young man in my 20's, I'd get up an go at night and would some feel very faint from standing. .

I do but it depends on what I'm wearing. Since my girlfriend moved in, she wants the seat down (of course). If I'm dressed, I pee like I always did: Standing up. But if it's during the night or if I haven't gotten dressed yet, I sit. I have some health issues so take diuretics which really make me pee a lot. So if I'm asleep (I usually just wear boxers) I just drop them and sit until I'm empty. I find if I just sit and relax, I can get a lot more out.

I do sometimes, for a variety of reasons. As many have already mentioned, in the middle of the night when you might be sleepy and the aim may not be all it should be is probably the most common. As I get older the tendency to spray is definitely getting worse, and the fashion for trousers with a lower 'rise' and a shorter zip doesn't help!

But one very important reason needs a mention!

Security!

When you're peeing you are vulnerable. You can't see behind you. Its very easy to slam you into the urinal, trousers unzipped, urine everywhere, unable to fight back effectively as you are robbed!

In a public toilets I always go for a cubicle, and lock the door behind me. If you're already sitting and someone tries to break in you can brace your legs against the door and yell for help.

This tip, among others, came from a Grenadier Guards Self defence instructor when I was in the Army. Very handy if you've had a few beers and you're out on the town!!

I have for most of my adult life. I've always had what I can only describe as a "twist" in my penis that makes the urethral opening positioned at about a 45° angle to the right. If I stand to pee, I have to be careful how I aim. More likely than not I am going to get a few drops outside the toilet and then get to clean things up. It's just a lot easier to sit and I expect I started doing so at about age 25. So, I've been sitting for 50 years other than at urinals which pose no issues for me.

Based on this very valid suggestion, I think I am going to forget the urinals as I've often thought I was vulnerable while standing there with my fly open and cock out.

I do most of the time even in public restrooms. A lot of times I push it between my legs so I can’t see it. I love how it looks and feels that way.

I almost always sit down to pee because it keeps the toilet cleaner. Less splashing.

Depends on the urgency or who may be listening. 😃

I sometimes do and aim my penis into the bowl !

Why does the listener matter?

Adding to previously what I posted here-- I can't remember at what age I started sitting. It began after I passed out standing when I got up in the middle of the night.. As others have said, it's less messy, so I continued it. Now, being old and having prostate problems, it's easier, but not so good on the knees - getting up and down.. I know I've mentioned wearing women's undergarment to get my kicks, but my sitting is really related to that.. Another problem is that my long penis sometimes touches the water in the bowl .... 😁 yea, I wish..

I do now and again

At times I will sit down to pee so that I can read the latest Brew Your Own magazine to learn about recipes for making ales, lagers, and hard cider at home. It also gives me time to write a recipe such as my Admiral Lord Nelson ale using English ale yeast, Maris Otter pale malt, Munich malt, caramel malt, and East Kent Golding hops. I then begin to sing "Rule Britannia, Britannia Rules The Waves" while making waves in the toilet water.

I can say I never have and still stand. When married (23yrs.) yes, would always put seat back down!

Worth noting, in passing, that a famous British colloquialism is 'piss artist', meaning a heavy drinker.

I do occasionally. Usually in the middle of the night so I can pee without having to worry about opening my eyes (much at all), which helps me get back to sleep quickly afterwards.

I sit since I had radiation for my prostate cancer. When I have to "go", I can't tell if it is pee, gas or #2, as since the radiation, they all give the same "I've got to go" sensation and I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Do to being in a chastity cage I have to sit to pee. It's kinda nice to sit and not rush to pee and on a plus side I can be accused of peeing on the floor.

As I have gotten older and my prostate has gotten larger I am more apt to sit to pee now.

I do it on occasion if I feel very full or just for a brief self arousing moment to feel effeminate particularly if I have been wearing a panty that day . Then I give the penis a tissue touch at it's head and urethral slit for sensual effect. Fretter
