Thread: 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.

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

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...
