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?

I just discovered the joys of sitting to pee this past year. I just never thought about it before, and only sat to pee if I had to poop too... though I can't say I ever cared whether someone else sat or stood to pee

But I had two separate fainting spells while standing to pee after getting out of bed (orthostatic hypotension), and almost really hurt myself the second time. Now, I often sit to pee at home because it's just more comfortable (and apparently safer). Live and learn I guess

I always prefer to sit unless I'm in a huge hurry. It's called a restroom for a reason. I'm going to take a break, browse Lemmy or something, and otherwise "rest". I'll return to work when I'm ready.

What really pisses me off is when I hear someone enter another stall to take a standing piss. They rarely put the seat up and always get pee all over everything. If you're going to stand, use a urinal. There's nothing more pathetic than being afraid to whip your dick out beside your fellow man, and instead, choose to piss on the place where others want to take a sit.

Don't think I've ever heard of someone dissing anyone over this. Sitting is objectively cleaner; micro droplets.

Oh I have. A while ago like, 20 years ago maybe. If a male was suspected of being gay, some assholes would ask him if he sat to pee.

I sit to pee often and I was "wtf, should I not do it?", and decided I didn't give a fuck and that they were assholes.

[-] Horsey@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

I'm a cis-bi man married to a cis-gay man: I had to tell him to sit his ass on the toilet to piss because the area around the toilet was constantly filthy. I cannot believe still to this day how difficult it was to convince him why it is a good idea to just sit down to piss. If you cannot control the stream direction and shape perfectly when you piss (spoiler alert, you cannot), then sit down where you can spray the toilet bowl.

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 hour ago

Why don't you just grab his dick and show him how to aim?

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 4 points 5 hours ago

I’ve not seen that happening.

I’ve only ever seen women and sometimes other men dissing men who stand to pee.

[-] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

When I was in medical school, I had to drop a deuce during a break between lectures. While I was in there, performing spectacularly, some other guy came into the restroom (situated just outside the lecture hall) and shouted "Is somebody takin' a shit in here!?"

and I was just like, "...yeah, where else would I do it?"

But I feel like that guy who openly questioned why someone would shit in a bathroom, is exactly the same type of guy that would question someones masculinity over how they choose to take a piss.

[-] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

I don't know who really makes fun of how other people pee, 12 year olds on the Internet?

Usually I stand, but if need to shit I sit or if it's the middle of the night and I don't want to turn on lights or sometimes I just feel like it.

I clean the mat in front of the toilet every week and clean the toilet every few weeks. I do spot wipes daily.

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I've never had a conversation as an adult about how I use the bathroom. That's decades. My bathroom stays clean though.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago

I guess it is just kinda "girly" and can seem a bit "whipped" if it is from your SO telling you to do it. I think those are the common instinctive answers.

[-] CoolMatt@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 hours ago

I sit to pee because my dick is pierced so now I have two pee holes. If i have nothing in, I can plug the hole and stand. Besides that, sometimes I'm not in the mood to stand, sometimes I'm not in the mood to undo my pants and take them down.

-I spend 15 minutes every morning shitting and pissing and then shitting some more, so I stay seated for the entire feature presentation. -I'm groggy every fucjin morning -it's a little dirty and hairy, I try to clean once a week but my back hurts so sometimes I'm just like fuuuuuuuuck that. Sometimes I find piss stains on the underside of the toilet seat and wonder how that got there while I clean it

  • eating, sleeping, shitting and farting

Why didn't my comment show each bullet point on a different line like I had typed it

[-] hightrix@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Who care how someone else uses the bathroom.

Your questions.

  1. no. That’s silly. If you are doing #2, you do both sitting.

  2. yes, but decades of practice mean I can stand and pee in nearly any mental state

  3. reasonably clean. I’ve good aim and we clean the floor regularly

  4. to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the women!

[-] caboose2006@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 hours ago

I had a toilet where the seat just wouldn't stay up. It was just easier to sit. And even when I didn't have this toulet I would sit in the middle of the night to keep the noise down and not have to turn on the light. I called this the "tactical piss".

But guys who are just super against it are weird. Doesn't make you any less of a guy my guy.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

Where do these questions even come from? Unless ts a challenge like peeing off a cliff, why would anyone care? Why would it even come up in conversation? Aside from one guy on Lemmy, who even brings it up?

[-] CoolMatt@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 hours ago

I jusg imagined someone sitting to pee off a cliff, thanks.

The opposite of this is being that one kid in your kindergarten that completely drops trow at the urinal.

[-] olafurp@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

There is an argument for standing to pee since it empties the urethra more completely compared to sitting to pee. This is mostly relevant for 40+ people since they are more likely to have any issues.

Simple trick to shit/sit and pee and still empty everything is to push on the area between dick and butthole.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Never heard this before...

As a sit pisser, I have no trouble pissing all my pee. That being said, I have heard that problems pissing while sitting is a sign of a swollen prostate and possible cancer. So my stand pissers should pop the occasional squat piss just to check their P-spot health.

[-] JamesStallion@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 hours ago

I will go ahead and be the only person to honestly engage with the terms of your question.

There is a movement that started a long time ago and continues today to "domesticate" boys. Boys are invariably more disobedient in controlled classrooms and group activities and so they need to be "broken in" and taught how to conform to the requirements of modern life and education. Girls tend to fit into this structure more easily as can be attested by the higher educational outcomes among women in countries that allow them to achieve it.

With this in mind there is a lot of resentment against this "breaking in" process. This metastasizes when boys hear all about how "toxic" they are by virtue of how they were born, how much more trouble they are to deal with etc. The emotional response is to resist all attempts to demasculinize them, even in the case of something as inconsequential as bathroom etiquette.

This is an honest representation of the perspective in question. Don't get all passed off at me for being capable of presenting it.

[-] laranis@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 hours ago

Sincerely, thanks for being willing to provide a thoughtful response.

Even if it is a bit batty.

[-] stringere@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

Petty reasons, likely cuelty or as a dominance display born of insecurity.

[-] prime_number_314159@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I have made fun of another man for peeing sitting down, but in a manner comparable to making fun of an ugly outfit. The very hidden secret is I sit to pee sometimes too, and I have ugly clothes that I wear sometimes. To answer the other questions:

If I'm already sitting, I'd pee sitting, 100% of the time.

Yes, and that's one reason I would sit to pee.

Not spotless, but it seems normal to me. If there's pee visible anywhere, I wipe it with paper. My wife mops the floor more often than I do.

I don't have a ready answer for this.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 17 points 16 hours ago

Sitting to pee is normal, standing up is for public bathrooms and in nature.
