Why you should sit when you pee

[cityboy-stl]

I sit when I get up at night so I don't have to turn the lights on.

This implies that you are housebound. It also implies that no-one else ever uses your facilities.

If that's the case, for anyone, then personal hygiene is all about staying healthy, and not so much about keeping oneself presentable - doable.

It takes ten, perhaps fifteen minutes to scrub a bathroom that's cleaned regularly, even when others use it regularly. Thee's no need to be housebound. The likely condition of your bathroom worries me greatly if it takes longer than 15 minutes for an industrial, in depth scrub.

Peeing into a urinal also causes splash back

Yeeeees....but you don't sit on the urinal. You've heard the phrase "Don't shit where you eat", well, this is "Don't piss on where you sit".

Eugh, doubled.

Do you really think many people clean their toilet before they use it every time they use it?

Maybe that notion doesn't seem odd to you, but it does to me.

@ housebound

The post I was addressing implied that the poster never went out where he would likely need to use a toilet other than his own. Public or private.

You've misread. If you use a urinal you're clearly not sitting on it. If you use a toilet, you will be sitting on it later. Eventually. Unlike a urinal, if the toilet is cleaned on a regular basis and you're not standing up leaving splashback you won't have to wipe it down before each use.

And I disagree the previous poster implied he was housebound. There's a clear distinction between discussing urinals, which are only found in public accommodations, and discussing toilets at home.

If this discussion actually involved public bathrooms there'd be more guys complaining of the seating situation in public restrooms. I don't know any guy who wouldn't righteously complain about piss on the seat when there's a urinal four feet away in the opposite direction.

-edited to add, tho I should point out there's somewhat of a learning curve. And I wash my hands of the portable commodes hospitals use - I never did figure that one out, and after two tries I just coasted to actual bathroom on that rolling tray they keep available.

In the interests of clarity I mentioned portable commodes not due to the activity (For just pissing, a urinal was fine), but for the construction of the 'toilet' interfering. They had large gap in the front between the seat and the rim that I'm now certain was a bad idea, I apparently kept slipping through it. I just know I wasn't learning anything new with a broken foot.

Yes but you are much closer to the vessel so there is much less if any at all. Life isn't perfect.

Holy crap. Why is this being read into so heavily? Simply cleaning my bathroom and myself regularly implies, that I am housebound, clean the toilet after every use, never go out and barely use public restrooms? I didn't know I needed to go into details about my life story simply because I prefer sitting on a toilet to pee. At my home toilet by the way.

For the more sensitive among us you'll find that merely mentioning that you sit brings up oodles of defensiveness. I believe it's about an assumed questionin' of masculinity. Brings some prompt responses implyin' you have no life, don't it.

I'll just have to assume that the article was too long for both of you.

So, never mind, I find skimmers and those with poor reading comprehension skills terribly boring, anyway.

oh, you mean this bit?

"We get it: you’re a stand-up kinda guy in all aspects of your life, and that includes standing up when you urinate. It’s considered to be the manly thing to do."

Yeah, no commentary about masculinity being obviously noted there....

(The irony, explicit as it is, is that you don't seem to have read any of it, as that's the intro. The article doesn't turn 'round and become more 'Please, continue pissing on the seat" the farther one reads.)

I just peed sitting down and l flushed before getting up and my balls were almost sucked down the toilet!

I'm wondering how some people poop if they're so worried about splash back.

Healthy intelligent people poop once in morning before they shower.

If a person poops as many times as he pees during the day, then yes, splash back is likely to be the least of his worries.

Do you use that blue stuff in the water?

I'm thinking Easter is just around the corner.

Must have felt wonderful.

I piss standing up and usually get about half of it in the bowl.

Women sit to pee all the time, so now they want to join the standing faction
