At home, I sit always. People think I'm weird for doing it but honestly I hate the mess more than the slight inconvenience.

- ekianjo 10y agoIn Japan a large proportion of men also sit at home (based on a recent survey) for the very same splashback complaints from their wives.
- hourislate 10y agoA lot of men don't like to admit to sitting down to piss but as you age your hydraulic pressure seems to decrease and you wake more during the night to piss. Sitting down while half asleep prevents a mess and empties your bladder more thoroughly.
- takk309 10y agoI too sit at home. I have done it for most of my adult life, basically as soon as I had to start cleaning my own bathroom.
- microcolonel 10y agoI find that when I sit down to pee, my penis can touch the rim of the toilet if I'm not careful, it's kinda uncomfortable. It's also very space-inefficient in an office environment. My office is mostly full of men, and we would have serious problems if we didn't have the urinal in addition to two toilets on every floor. A urinal can relieve twice or three times as many people in the same time it takes for a toilet stall to relieve one.
- arm 10y agoBack when I was a kid, on some mornings, I did try sitting down to urinate a few times (basically whenever I was feeling too tired to stand), but I stopped doing that after a while since it would usually hurt (I’m guessing due to the force of all the urine coming out (quite a bit does accumulate after sleeping for 8 – 10 hours) combined with my sitting posture). Since it never hurt while I was standing, I ended up just sticking to that after a while.
- marxidad 10y agoI sit, too, but sometimes it goes through the space between the seat and the bowl.
- mywittyname 10y agoThe one trick urinal physicists don't want you to know about!
- tzs 10y agoIf you ever do that somewhere other than home, be careful. I ran into a toilet at an office where some idiot had installed an elongated seat on a regular sized bowl. It was not difficult to end up in a position where you felt properly positioned based on previous elongated toilets, but in fact your penis was in front of the bowl, aimed right down into your pants.
- BurningFrog 10y ago> People think I'm weird for doing it I only think you're a little weird for telling them.
- banachtarski 10y agoI think if you have roommates or housemates at some point, or live with a girlfriend or wife, it isn't entirely out of the question. This isn't something I'd open with at a bar or something.
- mercer 10y agoSitting for a pee was one of most unexpected and difficult cultural barriers I had to deal with when I lived in Germany. My German flatmates were very serious about it, and most houses I visited, most of them multi-nationality, had signs imploring visitors to always sit. Took me a while, and quite a bit of 'public shaming' to remember to sit. The weirdest part was that whenever I'd have non-German male visitors, we'd usually end up in an argument about the practice because it was perceived to be emasculating! And more than once my guests, otherwise perfectly polite, would just pee standing up anyways.
