So it wasn't curiosity that led you to click?
It means not having to touch your junk. Also, it means you can keep the toilet seat down at all times. No need to dirty your hands after having to lift the lid, you know, where all the flushed water splashes on.
It's just less work all around to pull down your pants and sit.
In a public restroom though I wouldn't sit unless I'm dropping the deuce. I'll even pee through the toilet seat being down.
and then there are those who think they can piss with the seat down and not get any on the seat.
I was rather shocked recently to find out that no less than two adult men I know sit to pee at all times. They are fully ambulatory, mobile, healthy grown men. In one case he was trained as a child to pee sitting down and still does it to this day. In another case I think the guy was actually trained by his wife to do it (and she trains her boys to do the same).
I consider this behavior to be utterly reprehensible in a grown man. Anybody here willing to admit to this stunning defeat of being a man?
you, umm, you have to direct the traffic
s**t, are you still a teenager or something?
i pee sitting down
all the men's health journals say it's better for your circulation
If i have to pee because i woke up at 3 am in the morning, yes i will sit down because i don't want to turn on the light (that makes it harder for me to go back to sleep) and if i pee standing up in the darkness while barely awake, i WILL pee all over the floor. Also, i can barely stand up when i'm sleepy.
That's a good reason to sit down to pee.
A court in Germany has ruled in favour of a man's right to urinate while standing up after his landlord demanded money for damage to the bathroom floor. The landlord, who was seeking €1,900 (£1400; $2,200), claimed the marble floor had been damaged by urine. But the Duesseldorf judge ruled that the man's method was within cultural norms, saying "urinating standing up is still common practice".
There is some debate in Germany about whether men should sit or stand to pee. Some toilets have red traffic-style signs forbidding the standing position - but those who choose to sit are often referred to as a "Sitzpinkler", implying it is not masculine behaviour.
Judge Stefan Hank agreed with an expert's report that uric acid had caused some damage to the bathroom's floor. But concluding, he said men who insist on standing "must expect occasional rows with housemates, especially women" but cannot be held to account for collateral damage.
"Despite growing domestication of men in this matter, urinating while standing up is still common practice," he added.
