I have to disagree with that 'it splashes when you sit too' thing. Because it really doesn't and the cleanup is minimal compared to peeing while standing. I got tired of cleaning after my own urine and I started sitting on my own. Men are slobs and I know I used to be one too.
Ok, this is interesting first of all if your partner asks you to sit down to pee just because of splashing that's kinda dumb, just wipe the damn thing, that's not much effort. and for women, understand that when guys go, sometimes they splatter and we can't do anything about that. so don't get us about it if it happens. but sitting down to pee? that's not really feminine they're just too lazy to wipe (lol) or are just following their partners. good article.
It's just easier and faster to stand, especially when you really have to go. Splash is just a hazard that needs to be cleaned lol. Though when you go into a public bathroom, it can be a bit messy ;p.
I sit for cleanliness and safety. Splash damage is zero when sitting. But that's only at home; in public I'll stand for greater cleanliness... It's kind of a weird inverse relationship. I don't really like the feel of those seat covers either.
Well unless I have to do a #2 I don't sit down to pee. Especially if its a public can, which to putting it politely, is not the cleanest place to rest my backside. Splashback is gonna happen whether you like it or not, so its up to you if you wanna wipe it before you use it, or ignore it if you don't mind sitting in someones aftershots. Now if I happen to be bored and making designs on the public toliet seat, well that's just me being a bastard. haha j/k =P
well, Japan's toilet are very advance indeed. If I'm in Japan, I bet I'll be sitting also when I want to pee.
I have to disagree with the fairytale notion that standing is much faster. It's really negligible in difference and effort. And sitting down, you don't have to worry about cleaning up much. I agree that in public places, I tend to stand regardless.
When you're in a public restroom it's Cowboy time, but when you're at home you shouldn't have to worry. I mean, it's your own turf; you know the toilet, you know where offsides is. Point is, you should feel comfortable enough to know where you're aiming. Some people can go with their eyes close and still hit the mark, like me. It all depends on footing Danny. If I'm standing too far ..then oops. As for sitting down to pee, maybe only at gunpoint. LOL! I have a "sitting down only to poo" clause in my contract. At any rate, wouldn't sitting down to pee splash the toilet water up onto your stuff?
Sitting, sometimes, if at home. Standing, if at public places.
I sit down to pee too. People don't realize how far urine can splash when you're standing. When you have to clean it up yourself, I'll think you'll naturally start to sit down after a while. Sitting down gives 0% splash damage.
when i was little i would never splash, but now it's hard for some reason
you know I wonder if the "spraying/splashing" is caused by something else :P i.e., shaking the you know what rather than wiping with tissue? But you know I don't have a peen, so I wouldn't know what is the right toilet etiquette LOL
standing up to pee is something special. if you're not capable of being focused while doing you're thing then you are a complete failure as a civilized man. now heres a question. can 5 women focus their stream of urine in one bucket at the same time? i thought so.
I sit down with pleasure!:)
I have only sat down to pee when it was the middle of the night and I didnt wanna turn the light on, other than that sitting down for it seems unnatural
Unfortunately it is still possible to leave a pee stain even when seating.
Stand for a 1, sit for a 2. As Bill Cosby said, "in case of a tie, 2 wins out over 1."
Tachi-shon plz XD i pee standing up and if ever i do miss, i always get a small pail of water and clean-up my mess. i think one also one of factors that 40% of male japanese sit when doing pee-ing is the technology that the japanese put into their toilets. self-flushing, self-cleaning and self-warming are only a few technologies that the japanese put to their toliets. maybe some of the 40% of male japanese liked their toilets lolz XDDD
i sit down, if at home; i stand up, if not.
I learn my own restroom at home so it not a big deal. At public restroom in here (US) the sit down part base on unspoken rule reserve for number 2 only so it kind of amaze me to know that male do sit down to do they number 1.
wow this is amazing to know. i didnt know that XD
What use of a shotgun when you cannot aim and shot it? Aim properly, go for the kill, no one blames you. This applies to both FPS games and this stuff...
Hmm, if you sit down, isn't what would have been splashing on the floor just splashing on you? I clean my own toilet and I still stand, lol
Most of the time I sit....at the same time taking a nap, reading the newspaper, sipping coffee, biting a sandwich......oops I was talking about my desk.....sorry...but mostly I do sit and there's no splashing whatsoever, it goes as fast, no clean-up etc...but it depends on the cleanness of the place..^-^
I pee standing up in the house, and if I made too much of a mess (yea those early morning hours...) I would wipe it myself. And I pee sitting down at my work place since Im the only male worker there. Cause if there's n e sign of a mess, I have got no one else to blame it to. :P
I'm the one who cleans the bathroom, so my girlfirend really dosen't care much. Also, often I use the toilet paper to clean the mess :)
hmm personal.. fine with me:D sot down to pee... only something like early in the morning to not to wake anybody up.. or when im drunk and can't aim worth a damn.. otherwise.. STAND! thats what they make a lid that can be put up and lowered for the.....women....and some men:D
ah sorry for the doupble post just thought of somthing., some toilets flush so strongly that they leave water on top of the lid anyways.... so on some.. its a mute point!
What a dumb question, it's almost asking why do male dogs raise their leg to pee. I won't sit down even if asked, simple reason........if you "mess up" you clean it. Sitting down to not make noise, it won't work since it makes more noise when pee splashes in the water than "hitting" the "walls" of the toilet. What a crazy post Danny :P .
I would... though I mostly still pee standing up. Because it's practical, I have a good aim, and I grew up accostumed to it. But I'd have no problems sitting down to pee. The thing is, if in some weird case I end up making a mess, I always clean up. Only a f*cking pig wouldn't. Too bad many people don't follow that example in public restrooms here in Brazil. Makes me furious to get into a public restroom and find it all messed up. If I could I would get the guy who did the mess and make him clean with his tongue.
well u learn to aim your gun to the toilet when poo-ing
I won't care, but... i'm not going to sit in the toilet in winter... too cold, xD
Damn, reminds me of some of the inconsiderate blokes in my school. They don't even have the basic courtesy to lift the toilet seat/hinge up when they are taking a pee. Would see pee on the toilet seat most of the time I wanna take a dump. Was very irritated at this. I absolutely do not agree that men should seat on the toilet just to pee. Come to think about it, it feels kinda strange, its as though you have become woman. Finally, It boils down to each individual's toilet manners/habit and consideration for other people. Aim well and if not, be kind enough to clean the stains after you have used the toilet. Its that simple.
Standing up to pee is a sacred right of the y chromosome. If a guy *wants* to sit down to do it, groovy. But don't you dare *ask* him to. That's a foul.
we have urinals in public toilets but i find that some couldn't aim well even with urinals. there's always bound to be pee on the ground under the urinals. (-_-||)
I can't know . Follow my news , man sit to pee is ... gay , and I hate yaoi, but it's really interesting to... try this toilet ! Noooooooo!!! Help meeeeeeee!!!
@gordon: extra info i really didnt need to know....
40%? wow, didn't expect that. I stand, mainly because no one else has asked me to sit down to do it, but I would if they wanted me to. I don't really see anything feminine about it, I mean, I sit to take a dump anyway...
I chose yes as I do not actually mind either way. There was also a time I had to sit cos I had injured both my knees and couldn't stand
I sit no matter what. It's much easier to read the newspaper or latest figure magazine that way. ;-) Besides, whether you sit or stand to pee, as long as men can still write their name in the snow, who cares?
Actually, I started to sit down to pee a few years ago. I think it developed when I wake up at night and I'm too sleepy to aim. Do you people really shoot into the water? No duh it'll splash up.
Yesterday is the 70th years anniversary of Nanjing Massacre. Please give a moment of silence to the people who killed by the Japanese Imperial Army. F*** YOU JAPANESE GOVERNMENT! YOU CHANGE YOUR HISTORY TEXT BOOKS, WITHHOLD THE TRUTH FROM YOUR PEOPLE, AND DENY YOUR WRONG DOING. ONE DAY YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR WAR CRIME. BURN IN HELL!
Be a man and stand up to pee.
I pee while standing, but I don't aim at the water in the middle, I aim just on the side, so it doesn't splash too much and doesn't make a horrible noise for other people ^^;
Maybe if they made toilets into a shape that's more convenient for men sitting down to pee I would. Else, no.
first time i heard of guys sitting down to pee..lol
Are you serious? Sit down to pee? ..... sigh. If you splash, just wipe it up before you flush. Its not that big a deal.. I mean, come on! One of the whole benefits of being a guy is to pee standing up. Write our names in the snow, go in the forest without getting attacked whilst crouching.. Heres a little story for your people: One day God(or some deity.. or... swamp gas) says to Ada.. um, the first male and female.. "okay, I have two things left to give you two. Lets see, .. ah, who wants to pee standing up?".. so Alpha male says "Oh, me! MEMEMEMEMEMEME! DO WANT! Me! Pleeeeease, meme!".. so the deity gives it to him. Then the deity turns to the first female and says, "AAAnnnnd, all I have left is multiple orgasms, sorry first female". .. sh!t. If I have to give up multiple orgasms, then Im peeing standing up damnit! Plus, seats are cold in the winter.
Damn, 40%? How does that jump from 15% in only 8 years? I can understand older men in their 50s-60s, but does this include high-school guys? College guys? Fortunately, I still stand, aim for the sides of the bowl, and use toilet paper for any splash. Not a big deal. I guess Japanese women are getting more and more demanding while Japanese men are getting weaker and weaker?
Why is an android doing in the toilet other than looking darn cute?
@Requiem, .. dreaming of being human. Awwww. Lol.
@Red October,... that was a bit off topic. Use the puchi blurbs for that stuff, as it has nothing to do with anything. Have a nice day.
@DRAGUN, I know it is off topic. I just want to get the words out. I want to let the people know what the Japanese government did to my people in the war. After all these years, they still deny their wrong doing.
what's the point of being a man if you don't stand up when you pee? if I was a man I would never give up the privilage-- nay, dare I say the RIGHT to pee standing up!
I sit down when I pee, but only in a home bathroon. When it's in a public bathroom, I stand because 1. no idea what happened before I got there 2. It's covered in urine already (high school bathrooms -_-;) and 3. there's a urinal anyway.
LoL *raises hand* It's a lazy habit. But of course I'll still stand if its outside or at someone's house. Might be extremely odd at first, but I don't care anymore. It also happens all the time when you take a dump.
Requiem: Heh. "Sir, are you aware that you're leaking coolant at an alarming rate?"
Chun, LOL at shaking CrazyAnimeTuga, Sorry for asking dumb questions. Requiem, As long as she looks cute who cares ^^;;
