I’m not really looking to hear from people who don’t think this way, with answers like “insecurity”, “toxic masculinity”, etc. I want to hear answers from men who really detest men who sit to pee.

Follow-up questions:

  • when you have to piss while shitting, do you stand up turn around and piss on your shit and then sit back down to finish shitting?
  • are you ever groggy in the morning?
  • how clean is your toilet and surrounding floor, and whose job is cleaning it?
  • what are your true passions in life?

    Where do these questions even come from? Unless ts a challenge like peeing off a cliff, why would anyone care? Why would it even come up in conversation? Aside from one guy on Lemmy, who even brings it up?

      There is definitely culturally element to it… In American bro culture sitting down to piss is a beta behaviour!

      But you have appreciate that this is coming from people who can’t wipe their own asses proply and piss all over toilet seats, so there is that.

        Bidets, man. Game changer for those new to them. It’s wild how many Americans smear poo and never have fully clean buttholes. In most cultures outside US it’s healthier and cleaner to sit within your own home. Better for your prostate, and less splashing, even if you 100% the toilet you still get splashing.

        Public urinals I get it. Don’t touch anything mentality, just make sure you dab out so you don’t even leave a drop because that causes smells and bacteria. Which is much easier to dab while sitting.

    The King James Bible has the phrase those who “pissith against the wall” several times. In context it’s pejorative for the rude class or enemies of King David, but Christians who insist on the KJV struggle to read and understand it, and have taken it as God’s own description of male. and therefore pissing standing up isn’t just an aspect of masculinity, but it’s essence.

    Is this still a thing that people get upset about though? Personally I think a man sitting down just to pee is kind of silly, but I certainly wouldn’t make fun or get upset about it. I think the last time I heard someone make a joke about men sitting to pee was like 15 years ago lol

      I will say the option to stand up is one of my favorite male privileges, but I’m also aware that such a petty thing to fav probably indicates my lack of perspective. But it is incredibly convenient in gross places and nowhere places.

        I only stand in public at urinals.

        Having to clean my own bathroom put a stop to the standing at home.

      one stall

      🤨

      Things are contextual. “Does sit to pee” does not equate “always sits to pee”.

    I have made fun of another man for peeing sitting down, but in a manner comparable to making fun of an ugly outfit. The very hidden secret is I sit to pee sometimes too, and I have ugly clothes that I wear sometimes. To answer the other questions:

    If I’m already sitting, I’d pee sitting, 100% of the time.

    Yes, and that’s one reason I would sit to pee.

    Not spotless, but it seems normal to me. If there’s pee visible anywhere, I wipe it with paper. My wife mops the floor more often than I do.

    I don’t have a ready answer for this.

    The opposite of this is being that one kid in your kindergarten that completely drops trow at the urinal.

    when you have to piss while shitting, do you stand up turn around and piss on your shit and then sit back down to finish shitting?

    I tried this once when I was probably about two or three years old. It did not go well.

      In German there’s an insult: “Sitzpinkler”. It means “someone who sits down when peeing”. Never heard anyone use it seriously though.

        I’m surprised to hear German has a word for this, considering that stats I’ve previously seen show Germany as having the highest proportion of male sitting pee-ers.

    When I was in medical school, I had to drop a deuce during a break between lectures. While I was in there, performing spectacularly, some other guy came into the restroom (situated just outside the lecture hall) and shouted “Is somebody takin’ a shit in here!?”

    and I was just like, “…yeah, where else would I do it?”

    But I feel like that guy who openly questioned why someone would shit in a bathroom, is exactly the same type of guy that would question someones masculinity over how they choose to take a piss.

    If I have to poop as well as pee I sit. Who cares what some insecure dude thinks about that?

    I don’t know who really makes fun of how other people pee, 12 year olds on the Internet?

    Usually I stand, but if need to shit I sit or if it’s the middle of the night and I don’t want to turn on lights or sometimes I just feel like it.

    I clean the mat in front of the toilet every week and clean the toilet every few weeks. I do spot wipes daily.

      I’ve never had a conversation as an adult about how I use the bathroom. That’s decades. My bathroom stays clean though.
