座りション派

『男性の半数は「座りション派」——。松下電工は12日、30〜50代の夫婦約500組に聞いたところ、夫の半数は座って小用を足していたという調査結果を公表した。8年前と比べ、3倍以上に増えているという。同社は「座った方が水はねもなく、トイレ掃除もしやすいことが浸透しつつあるのではないか」と分析。今後も「座りション派」は増えるとみている。』

『 調査は今年6月、関東と関西在住の夫婦にインターネットで実施。男性には「用を足す時のスタイル」を、女性には「夫が用を足す時のスタイル」をそれぞれ尋ねた。

 その結果、夫本人、または妻が、「夫は座ってしている」と答えたのは全体の49%に達した。同社が99年に実施した同様の調査では、「座りション派」は15%、04年調査では30%だった。

 ただ男女別の結果をみると夫婦の意識の食い違いもうかがえる。女性の半数以上は「いつも座って」(53%)と思っているのに対し、「いつも座って」と答えた男性は27%。「たまに座って」と答えた13%をあわせても4割程度しかなかった。 』(ASAHI引用。)

この重要な課題をディスカッションしたい。

    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

    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?

    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.

    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 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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    I'm sure it's been said already, but isn't that what the toilet seat is for?

    I mean, I can understand being asked to sit down to pee if you consistently pee on the toilet seat (i.e. You can't pee like a man so stop kind of thing).

    @D_Blade: after thinking about this I think people completely glossed over the "Morning After Urination"... that is when you have sex the night before, and when you get up in the morning its like your penis has a variable spray nozzle rotating at amazing speeds.. you have mist off to the left, there is a stream shooting straight up, and some kind of sprinkler thing going on in a general direction of the toilet... you almost need to sit down at this point.. but the problem is your morning erection makes that impossible.. unless you are a "little" guy.

    Sorry if that was uncalled for, but I think the MAU is by far the funniest thing to happen in the morning. If I clean up afterwards, then my gf thinks the descriptive story is hilarous.

    She started choking on her bagel a little and almost fell off her chair laughing. Then she hit me (shes little, I can take it). So, Id say good reaction?

    By the way D_Blade, she says hi and nice to meet you...in as much as you can meet someone online.

    Interesting poll. I think, maybe because I was brought up in a relatively well-to-do family(and hence am very analytical), that guys who need to pee standing to affirm their masculinity suffer from an inferiority complex. They HAVE to justify the fact that they are male by inconveniencing others. It's actually amusing to hear other guys say "it's what men do" because you can practically hear the self-justifying undertones. I can't think of any "natural" or "hardwired" reason for guys to pee standing. It's just a matter of pride and self-justification.

    I think that someone who sits down because they dont have the mental capacity to clean up after themselves if they DO miss is sad. If you want to sit down, that fine, just dont try to guilt me into doing it. If you DO stand up, just clean up after yourself guys, its called respect. Guys that sit down arent feminine, and guys that stand arent egotistical. Now, if we all kind of hovered, that would be a compromise. Anyone up for that?
