I’ve quite recently made a change to sitting down to pee instead of the usual point and shoot and I can’t believe I haven’t earlier. It’s quieter, more comfortable and completely avoids any potential mess from split streams or spraying. Standing does have its place and can be more convenient in certain scenarios but I don’t think it should be standard for penis-havers. Do people think it’s gay or something?

Thoughts and feelings would be appreciated and will advance the piss discourse of the site.

    I love to sit down, as long as the toilet is actually designed to piss sitting down. Most residential toilets aren’t designed for dicks, probably because it saves space. The correct toilet seat for a dick is longer and has a split front.

    I do not enjoy cramming my hand between my legs to push my dick between the seat and around my balls, nor do I like to lean my entire body all the way forward in order to point my dick downward when im pissing with a semi. I do not like when my entire back makes full contact with the underside of the toilet lid because I need to back up more to piss properly. In do not like holding my piss so that I can shit comfortably before doing the forward lean to piss. I do not like when the tip of my dick accidentally scrapes the interior lip of the toilet seat where there is a film of dried piss and shit splashback that goes directly into my god damned urethra

    If you build it maybe they’ll piss

    pee splashes around more than most people realize when people pee standing, little droplets go a surprising distance and are definitely getting on the front of your pants

      And then it can aerosolize and linger in the air. For those of you who dont mask, you breathe in strangers piss and shit every time you go to the bathroom

    Dangers of sitting:

    • If it’s cold, it can be a shock to the rear
    • Peepee can touch porcelain bowl, cold/moist/gross
    • Peeing between seat and bowl can happen accidentally and insidiously. Soaked pants/socks + pain to clean up.
    • If not in your own house / have awful housemates, touching gross things like toilet seats

    I say this as a dedicated sit-downer wherever possible. I find it preferable, but when you’re groggily wiping a pool of pee off the floor at 1am, you realise it’s not a promised pee land.

    Sitting makes me feel like I’m getting dirty. With standing you don’t touch the toilet at all and as long as you wipe you stay completely clean (and guys should wipe despite it being common not to).

    Although a urinal is better for standing and should arguably be included in home bathrooms, at least full bathrooms.

    An ex of mine peed in the sink then washed his dick and the sink it every time. He said his grandmother taught him to do it. He was raised in a very different context. Most saliently where bidets were commonplace. But I doubt this was normal.

    He was 100% clean at all times, that was nice.

      I mean if there’s no toilet available and you HAVE to go then it makes sense that like while it might seem gross it’s okay to pee in a sink as long as you 1000% clean it after, but why is this person’s grandmother teaching them what is basically a Goblin Mode Lifehack
