Ever hear this?

So I'm having dinner with my wife, my good friend of many years and his wife. My friend's wife had a couple of drinks, and blurts out the fact that her husband, when he's at home, pees sitting down. I was incredulous, but my friend argues that it's "less messy" and he sees nothing wrong with it. I guess there's nothing really "wrong" with doing it this way, but it really floored me to hear about my friend's "little habit". (BTW-there's no issue here about his sexuality.)
Anyone else do this/hear of this?

I can see how that could be less messy, but it would also take more time. Not really worth it, in my opinion.

That seems wrong somehow. It really says a lot about my cultural mores, really.

My father did this all his life. I never have but seeing as he was a Navy Seal, i cant say anything about it not being "manly". But the same as your friend, it is only done at home, never in public.

I think there is a limit to what a wife should mention about her husband and what a friend should post about his friend. I think you've found my limit. :ziplip:

I stand, that is just the way I have always done it.
A couple of years ago I knew two girls who would always bug me about sitting. They were going on about how bad it was for me, how there is a bit of urine trapped in the bladder, that can only be squeezed out while sitting and that it is messy. I would just tell them that I would get the last rest out the next time anyway.

my grandmother used to make me sit when i was 5 because i had horrible aim (smirk). it stuck until i was about 10 and living with my father.

Only if I'm so exhausted I can't stand :D

I pee sitting down at home, just like your friend. Actually, the only time I pee standing up is at a urinal or in public toilets.

The way I figure it, toilets are designed to be sat upon. Plus, I no longer get hassled by the wife to "put the seat down" every day.

You should try it. It is easy, and leaves you free to ponder the great questions of the Universe, such as why sitting down to pee is in any way related to one's sexuality...

+1 on what Alan said.

When i was in boot camp we were made to sit down to **** and could not use the urinals since everything has to be crazy crazy clean, one stray pube and you could fail an inspection. At first it seemed degrading but you didnt really have that much time to worry about it.. and when compared to other flights you could tell a huge diff in the ones that had to sit down and didnt..they were sickning.

I am in the HUGE +1 catagory here,,,,,, "TMI" thank you....

OK... ill reply ...

Heres why I sit.

See it started at night. Turning on the light at 3 or 4am to pee was annoying. On goes the light and its blinding and took a moment for the eyes to adjust before I could go. Then Turn off the light and eyes would again have to adjust so as to not stub a toe or knock something over, then getting back to sleep is a chore after being abruplty woken up.
Now... sittting down. Get up and my eyes are adjusted to the dark and I can see well enough to not do something stupid. Go in and sit my lazy ass down with the lights off,do the deed, and then wander off back to bed. No BRIGHT lights and no issues and back so slumberland.

PLUS I have been married since 21 and stray pee was an issue as it is with any girl... lol ... dont we all know about "leaving the seat up" ! It really only took the first time to say "hey, no big deal".

Though I miss the old days of putting a square of toilet paper in the water and playing "sink the boat" ;)

So thats my confession and addition to this thread !


PS.... This is ONLY at home !

I do it standing but I have to be careful, the water can be mighty cold ..... and deep too . :D

Jimmy. Four things:

1. :rofl2::rofl2:
2. :roflmao:roflmao
3. :bow
4. I wish I had said that!!

James.

PS Everyone pees, fellows (except perhaps those swami chaps in Nepal...) No need to be squeamish about it. Once you accept that fact, then it is just a simple choice: sit or stand?

A bunch of very interesting replies.
My thanks to all who have bared their (whatever) and were brave enough to provide a frank response.

BTW-any ideas how we can make some $$$ off of this???:w

Yes!

We could invent a schlong-sling (C) (TM)(Pat. Pending) that attaches to the seat of the toilet for all those seated squirters out there. Gently yet comfortably supports the member's member in a natural position reducing stress and pressure during the act of seated urination.

I am also working on the "Ball Bra", but that is something for another thread.

James.

I only sit when I have to. I hate having to hold or angle the beast so that it doesn't dangle into the water or rest up against the side of the bowl, but I understand that not all men are so challenged.

Oh man! It's like I'm back in the 6th grade!!
Love it!

The trouble with sitting down is your 1 minute pee can turn into a full-blown evacuation and you end up late for something. :o

I would have to agree that is less messy (if you have ever had splash-back from a urinal - and always when wearing light-colored trousers - you would agree). Living alone (so no one else to blame) I am amazed that the physics involved when looking at the commode when it is need of cleaning. Aim is not a problem...so can someone explain how residue can get around the base? While pondering thins with toilet brush in hand (I really need to get out more....), I could only surmise that it is related to the pressure of the flow, the dynamics of liquid under pressure striking still liquid...the resulting interaction of the surface tension, the shape of the bowl...all resulting in airborne residue, no matter how careful you are, and the need to stand there with a brush and various cleaning chemicals.

:shrug:

I guess with sitting, you'll never miss the bowl! :rofl2:

I have always thought that toilet bowls should have some kind of area to the bowl that aids the man to splash at without splashing. Urinals come close to aiding the stream with out splash though improvement is needed. Sitting is an option I agree, but how about redesigning the dam bowl to suit both approaches :)
Having to de-bag every time I need a **** makes the need for a zipper fly pointless. may as well wear elasticated trousers or take up wearing a skirt (or kilt as us men call them ) :)

PuFF-ing after taking a sit down ****

Exactly. When you pee standing, you spread thousands of tiny fluid particles into the air, and they are going to land all over the place. It is impossible to avoid, unless you sit down.

If you're one of us who has have to clean the toilet up yourself, you know why some of us take the intelligent approach, and do it sitting. Actually I'm no longer single, but I don't see any reason to stop sitting down for a pee. It's almost as fast, it's comfortable, and more hygienic. Yup, you still have to "hold the beast" in order to avoid it dragging in the porcelain, but you don't do a mess.

I only pee standing when I'm outdoors, or at a really disgusting public urinal. When at home...well, I like to keep my bathroom clean, nice smelling and hygienic...and I don't feel the slightest bit less manly because I sit down to pee. It's the civilized way of doing it.

I'm a 50-50 guy. If I'm doing stuff and I need a whizz, then I stand so I can get back to doing what I was preoccupied with before. But if I'm just pottering around at home, or trying to escape the kids, I like to sit down and p1ss, take my time, admire the razors on the wall... hmmm, probably need to hone that Livi... then again, I fancy shaving with that Dovo Mamut tonight... it's calling me... might need a few passes with CrOx first... and maybe try some of that new soap...

"Honeeeeee! Where are you? I thought you were fixing that cooker hood?"

Shoot, how long have I been in here?





If you're proud of your shave den, sitting down to **** is unavoidable, isn't it? How can you NOT sit? :rofl2:

Me and some of my male friends have this saying, that sitting down to take a **** is the only thing they'll ever do for the feminist movement. Personally I find it hard aiming and reading a book at the same time... ^^ And you don't have to fiddle with the seat... And technically more hygienic if you don't wash your hands both before and after.

This is probably the longest conversation about taking a **** and the longest time I've ever contemplated the very act of taking a **** in my whole life... :D

But in Finland wouldn't you get your butt frozen to the seat if you sat down? :p

This is the first time I didn't understand a thread because I didn't know if the filtered word was four letters and started with a p or started with an s. Maybe if I knew if it rhymed with hiss or hit. :hmmm:

Can I get a vowel? :rofl2:

the only vowel in either is an 'I' and wouldnt help you. :)

Reminds me of a popular poster from the 70’s – blond, mini skirted woman standing at a urinal taking a whizz. Back when I was easily amused. Those were the days.

Something really does need to be done about splash back. I'm always getting yelled at for messes the toilet makes (the abrupt niagra falls explosion has something to do with it). Oh well...

Just do what most university students do: use the sink!:eek:

My ex-wife was such a filthy, useless waste of oxygen, every time I went to pee in the sink it was full of dirty dishes.

Regarding the original question, if you really want to know how another man urinates I'll be happy to tell you. I used to use the toilet as I needed. That is, I would sit down for a bowel movement and almost without exception I would urinate while I was seated. Sometimes urine would escape from my ureter without a conscience thought or effort on my part at all. Sometimes I would find myself having to push very hard, especially if my fecal matter were firmer than desired. You know what I mean? It is always best if you can just sit on the toilet or hang your butt out the window (which is what I often have to do when the toilet is backed up and overflowing the family's biological waste onto the floor of the bathroom) and with no effort other than a simple relaxation technique I learned in Tibet, the poop is soft, smooth and warm as the entrails of a young armadillo and just flows right out of my anus without as much as a grunt or a groan. But when I had that colostomy, the convenience of having a bag into which my feces just flowed freely caused the process of urination to be a solo act. You can read more about that here: Cellphone but this is a thread about peeing so let me not digress. When I do pee standing I try to use the high pressure setting to dislodge the snails from the sides of the bowl. Of course, as I'm sure any man will tell you, the initial surge often is off target and I have to squeeze out a couple or three squirts before it hit home. So the first one may be wide and a splash of urine will soak the new roll of toilet paper on the holder. Luckily, in any bathroom I use the paper is loaded so that it comes off the top of the roll but that's a completely different thread. So the next squirt may splash in a bit short, hitting the front of the bowl and running down onto the fuzzy little rug she insists stay by the toilet. But then I usually have it bracketed and my third squirt is right there in the center of that commode. So now is there anything else you'd like to chat about?

Whoa!
Even I'm taken aback over the above post, and I initiated this thread!!
:gaah:

I think its just wrong. Standing up to pee is what separates men from women.

Years ago my wife and I were at a party where the women's loos were out of order and the men's stalls were, well, they were like what men's stalls can be like. So she and her friends shooed the men out, took turns to prevent them coming in, and proceeded to use the urinals.

I had no idea they could do that! :shrug:

Yea but I bet they can't write their name in the snow.
