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

On my own, i go back and forth on this one. As part of a relational dynamic, the sub in me responds to a Guy Who likes me to sit when i pee. The sub part of me never responds to force, meanness or bullying; but when a Man naturally or in a matter of fact way wants me to do things i perceive as sub, He has me. i connect to a Mans needs/desires, so force is contradictory for me. Simply, if He wants me to sit when i pee because He plainly sees it as something a 'Man' would not do, it has a mind fuck element to it that, yeah, i want that kind of connection with Him. It applies to so many things i perceive as "sub."

I’m in the 50/50 standing versus sitting crowd. In public settings I usually stand, but at home I often sit. Sitting has advantages! Like in the middle of the night when I’m trying not to wake up. Or after sex when I’m not positive which way the stream is going to go!

I guess I am one of the “10%-ers” in the USA who always sits when urinating. My flow is so slow, it can take 5 minutes, sometimes longer, to completely drain my bladder. This is the result of surgery when I was very young to INCREASE my flow. As I aged, the scar tissue in my urethra has swelled to the point where my stream is very impeded, often starting and stopping several times in the process. My urologist said I could use catheters (NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, if I can help it!) or sit….because further surgery to bore things out would just create more scar tissue! I’ve actually come to enjoy parking my hiney on a comfortable toilet seat to nicely relieve myself. And, it is a lot less messy than peeing all over the floor and toilet!

I do so it's not splashing up on seat or outta the bowl.

I usually sit. I'm kinda short down there when flaccid so it's hard to get it through my jeans and underwear. Also i dont have to worry about getting caught in the zipper. More than once I've had to go to urgent care to get released.

If I'm wearing shorts I will often pull it out from under my shorts or just drop my shorts to my knees for stand-up.

In the local parks, restrooms that aren't just outhouses have the all metal prison style toilets. If I sit to pee, my scrotum hangs down into the water by about an inch. I end up having to do the Asian squat toilet technique to prevent that.

According to various sources, roughly about 25% to 30% of men don't wash their hands after going to a restroom. And knowing how easy it is to have things splashed around when peeing while standing, I'm not surprised to know that it's something that's been studied. These two bad habits combined make for problems that I wish the modern world didn't have to deal with.

At the end of the day, men need to learn to wash their hands (with soap, and for more than two seconds) and start sitting down to pee (at least when they're home, and especially if they live with someone). Why do men don't care to be seen as having disgusting and unhygienic habits? Have some self-respect and start being part of the solution already.

This is pretty much a certainty - if you sit to pee, there's very little chance you're gonna' piss on your shoes!

@SadisticDaddy, I'm sure that the hand washing stats are similar in women as well.

Great article! I've been sitting on the toilet to pee since my 40s. I sit when peeing at home. When I get up at night, it's so much easier and comfortable to just sit down when peeing. At work, the bathrooms are for one person at a time, so I always sit to pee. In large public restrooms, the toilet seats are often dirty or wet, so I tend to use the urinals which I don't really like. Don't like to get my pants and shoes splashed with pee. If I'm wearing shorts, I can sometimes feel my legs getting splashed when I stand to pee.

Another thing is I always wipe my pee hole after peeing. My father always did it. I've seen a couple of men do it in public restrooms. But I'm sure most men don't.

If I'm outdoors in a park or the woods, I often just pee in the bushes or on a tree. Don't have to worry about my legs or shoes getting splattered if my stream isn't even. The leaves and the tree trunk take care of that problem for me.

If I get up at night to pee, I sit simply so I don’t get bitched out in the am for my poor aim

Normally I stand 🤷🏼‍♂️

It's taken me till my mid-60s to develop this technique, but I now have the method guaranteed to eliminate the matter of shaking it (standing up) or using TP (which I never do in my regular sitting position).

Simply STAY SITTING ON THE JOHN after accomplishing your business. Just stay there in place for 3 to 5 minutes, and your penis will air-dry itself. What to do while you're waiting? Just daydream, like I've always done. Let your mind wander. I've always avoided boredom this way.

(And this eliminates all that ridiculous routine of if-you-shake-it-more-than-3-times-you're-playing-with-it, or no-matter-how-much-you-twist-and-you-dance, etc., etc., etc.)

Wow, after reading this thread, apparently I'm in the minority. The only times I sit are to poop or in the middle of the night. I sit at night because I never turn the light on. The light would wake me up too much and would disturb my wife in bed asleep.

I do acknowledge that peeing while standing at either a toilet or urinal does usually involve undesirable splashing. At home, I often wipe the toilet off with some toilet paper. At nice restaurants, hotels, casinos, etc. there is often something in the urinal to eliminate this. It used to almost always be ice cubes. The first time I saw this I was very impressed and thought that was ingenious! Now most use some contraption out of various materials to reduce splash back. Sometimes it's carpet like material, or a silicone or plastic grate like device. They are very effective.

@SadisticDaddy, I'm sure that the hand washing stats are similar in women as well.

Eh... nah. You're too optimistic, @SuppoEnemaGirl. Look at this article: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/17/us/women-men-hand-washing-coronavirus.html

Sure, women aren't perfect either, and men's hygiene habits might be improving, but all in all, there's still a significant gender gap.

I am proud to be one of the 24% in the UK!!

I often do, and I am Norwegian even though I live in the caribbean area now.

The linguistic data is funny. In German and also in Scandinavian (Norwegian, Swedish, Danish), you can easily make compound word for anything that are immediately understood,. Also in English this is possible but not so much used. In English the corresponding word will be sitpeeer. In Norweagian sittetisser or more or streetwise; sittepisser,

I tend to prefer sitting when possible. As for using a urinal, I think I am more bashful as there is often minimal privacy. That said, men can be very messy even when using a toilet. I don't understand why it is okay to urinate onto the floor or not flush following whatever the deposit. It reflects poorly on us.

I usually stand to pee unless I need to or think I need to poop...never trust a fart after 40!! I grab a tissue from home or my box on my desk at work to wipe the dribble before tucking back into the undies, then toss in the bin and wash up for 20 seconds per my watch.

I sit now. Like said earlier don't trust a fart after 40 lol. Mainly its because I work standing all day and it's the only time I get to sit during the day. When I'm out camping I'll stand to pee.

Its so nice in the woods camping as you can dribble and not worry!! 😂

When I wake up in the morning or in the middle of the night, it's just easier to sit. When I'm at someone's home, I also sit a lot too, so I don't risk making a mess

I was told by my urology team to sit to pee, as with bladder retention and incontinence its best

I have always sat to pee when at home. I can't ever remember otherwise.

Several years ago, when I mentioned this to a group of male friends, they laughed at me.

Didn't change me. It's clearly more hygienic and sanitary.

Been doing it for so long, can't remember when I started. Began after feeling faint while standing.

Interesting question with interesting replies. Personally, for me, a lot depends upon the location and circumstances. I have an aversion to public restrooms because they are often filthy and the urinals seem to always have a lake of urine around them that I have no desire to step in. However, I have an aversion to sitting on public toilets as well because of germs and filth so I choose to stand at those, plus they have handy paper to wipe off any after urine leakage, whereas the urinals do not, and I do not want any embarrassing wet spots on my trousers when I walk out of a public restrooms.

At home I will often sit to save any cleaning up messes or because it is just easier to urinate if one happens to have to urinate with an erection. Trying to urinate with an erection is not an easy task and is more difficult to aim. It really is a shame that American home bathrooms do not come with urinals as that would make things so much easier and simpler for males and could well eliminate many bathroom messes someone has to clean up.

So even though standing would be my preferred method, I do find myself standing maybe fifty percent of the time simply because I hate cleaning bathrooms of urine messes.

@Arewefree - I guess I misspoke. I just somehow associated catching my nuts in my zipper with taking a wizz and didn't analyze the mechanics of the entire process. I still, however, stand by my statement (off topic though it may be)...you DON"T want to catch your nuts in your zipper!!

Normally when I'm home I pee sitting down. It's more relaxing and I won't be splashing all over the place or dribbling on the seat when I'm done. When out I'll use the urinals.

I sit down to relax or if I have to poop as well. I also sit down after sex because a meatus stuck together with semen or prostatic fluid can spray all over.

When I wake up in the morning or in the middle of the night, it's just easier to sit. When I'm at someone's home, I also sit a lot too, so I don't risk making a mess

Let me embellish on that, as I've been reflecting about this lately.

A good percentage of the time i am at someone's home, my cock would have been getting sucked like ad infinitum (playdates). So by the time I feel I need to go hit the head, my cock is way too exhausted for aiming. Often i barely have any energy to stand when the session is about wrapped up.

Another thing is you pee in 2 specific situations. Obviously one is when your body gets the signal that the bladder is full. But the other is a consequence of time and travel. You empty out what you can before traveling somewhere, and there may not be enough to make a forceful stream. So you're better off sitting down to empty what you can. After all , if you do get the urge to go later, you'll likely be sitting when that urge arises.

I sit down, it is so much cleaner and I am the one that has to clean it up.

The younger me would not have considered it! As I have gotten older, it makes more sense to sit as the ability to control the stream is a problem. It takes takes more time and more aggressive shaking to void completely! I have also started to wear a pad when I know I will not be near a restroom for a while. Getting old sucks!
