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?
Because they’re afraid the other guys in shop class will call them a p@#$y.

I fear that you will not many of these kinds of people on Lemmy. If you really want a good answer, you’d have to post it somewhere like Twitter or Truth Social.
My girlfriend gave me a hard time about it. I told her I was pro-choice
Just tell her you’re going to start making rules in the bathroom she has to follow.
I always prefer to sit unless I’m in a huge hurry. It’s called a restroom for a reason. I’m going to take a break, browse Lemmy or something, and otherwise “rest”. I’ll return to work when I’m ready.
What really pisses me off is when I hear someone enter another stall to take a standing piss. They rarely put the seat up and always get pee all over everything. If you’re going to stand, use a urinal. There’s nothing more pathetic than being afraid to whip your dick out beside your fellow man, and instead, choose to piss on the place where others want to take a sit.
I mostly sit down when I pee because my cat likes to spend quality time when I’m on the toilet and he gets upset if into in the bathroom and don’t sit down.
Remember manliness is not caring about how other people define manliness.
I’m a cis-bi man married to a cis-gay man: I had to tell him to sit his ass on the toilet to piss because the area around the toilet was constantly filthy. I cannot believe still to this day how difficult it was to convince him why it is a good idea to just sit down to piss. If you cannot control the stream direction and shape perfectly when you piss (spoiler alert, you cannot), then sit down where you can spray the toilet bowl.
That’s not quite true for everyone. With good hygiene and, if necessary, making sure to roll things loose, you can make sure you pee perfect every time.
At least, I can. And I’m certain I’m not alone in that
Be a rebel; stand to shit
‘Born to shit, forced to wipe.’
The best is shitting in flowing water for the ol’ aqua deuce. Once got pulled behind a sailboat for an epic one
I’m afraid I really have no answers for you… but then again I don’t think I’m your survey pool.
But I did once stay at a small hotel in Germany that had a sticker imploring male guess to sit and pee. I pissed all over that poor toilet before we left.
15 years later I feal guilt but also righteous indignation. I really hate being told what to do apparently… even when there are good reasons like another human being, asking you to not make their life hard 😞
Kind of a weird hill to die on, ngl
In retrospect… yes.
I offered the story as a kind of parable (except not because I didn’t make it up) or random data point if you will, on pissing standing up.
As a man WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU TELLING ME HOW YOU PEE!?! What god damn conversation is going on!?! How the hell did this come up? We don’t normally talk about this!
My true passion in life is Aztec history.
We don’t normally talk about this!
We should though! We should just not be shit bags about it. Sharing & seeking info rather than having a weird chauvinistic view on how pee exits bodies.
There’s nothing chauvinistic about it! I just don’t want to know or care about what you do in the bathroom. We’re not going to have a conversation about it. JUST WASH YOUR HANDS!
I wiped my ass with a wadded up ball of 25 toilet paper squares for years because no one wanted to tell me about more efficient and effective ways to do it. Bathroom knowledge is like your paycheck. They say you shouldn’t talk about it with your peers, but it needs to be talked about.
These days I can clean my whole ass, even on the most explosive days, with less than 10 squares, and I’m saving so much money.
Tell me something cool about Aztec History, please!
Women would use a blue green herb called xiuhquilitl to give their hair a purple/indigo sheen.
That was cool, thanks!
You’re welcome.
That word sounds like someone was found innocent of a crime on account of a shoe
That’s because you’re mispronouncing the -tl at the end. In Nahuatl when a word ends in -tl it becomes like a slushy “S” crossed with a click sound.
I googled that
Did you mean: xiuhcoatl
Is this fire serpent/ weapon of the sun an Aztec dragon?
No Xiuhcoatl is a big blue fire snake, a mystical weapon, the animal spirit of the Xiuhtecuhtli, and a metaphor for government/war/dry season.
Xiuh as a prefix can denote fire, turquoise, or years.
Edit: it might literally be the main ingredient to make indigo dye
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?
I jusg imagined someone sitting to pee off a cliff, thanks.
Yeah, that’s hilarious!
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.
I always sit to pee when I’m at home, mostly so I don’t have to worry about spray/drippage/seat positions, but I also believe that men have this amazing power where we have the ability to stand and pee… and I think the biggest flex you can make when you have amazing power is to only use that power when it makes sense. Restraint is power.
So like having guns to make sure we don’t lose the 2nd ammendment?
Not everything has to be political my guy.
I was being silly. Not everything has to be serious my guy.
It’s okay to simply be wrong and admit it you know. Much more honorable as well. Being silly with a political joke, is still being political.
Lol. K
Hah, I’m totally making an assumption here, but I’m willing to bet you’re the type who tests the temperature of the room by saying something mildly political like this, and then if things go well, you’ve successfully hijacked a conversation - and if they don’t, you just back off and pull the “it was just a joke, I was being funny”…
Unfortunately you backed yourself into a corner here because the “it was just a joke!” doesn’t really land well when you’re trying to inject politics into a conversation that has literally nothing to do with them. I know I’m kinda hard calling you out here, but I’m just saying - it’s not a good look.
That’s a lot and I’m not going to read it. I promise you that I care exactly as much about your opinion as you do mine. You should go touch grass if you’re so worked up that you can write two paragraphs moaning about a joke you didn’t get. It’s guys like you give us guys that sit down to pee a bad name.
I will go ahead and be the only person to honestly engage with the terms of your question.
There is a movement that started a long time ago and continues today to “domesticate” boys. Boys are invariably more disobedient in controlled classrooms and group activities and so they need to be “broken in” and taught how to conform to the requirements of modern life and education. Girls tend to fit into this structure more easily as can be attested by the higher educational outcomes among women in countries that allow them to achieve it.
With this in mind there is a lot of resentment against this “breaking in” process. This metastasizes when boys hear all about how “toxic” they are by virtue of how they were born, how much more trouble they are to deal with etc. The emotional response is to resist all attempts to demasculinize them, even in the case of something as inconsequential as bathroom etiquette.
This is an honest representation of the perspective in question. Don’t get all passed off at me for being capable of presenting it.
Just a note on the “toxic” thing - when folks talk about “toxic masculinity” they’re generally not talking about men being toxic or claiming that masculinity is always toxic. Toxic masculinity refers to the perversions of masculinity; things like “I must commit violence to defend my honor” or “I must never express ‘soft’ emotions”. Men and masculinity are good things that can and should be celebrated as much as all other identities.
Guys who do diss other guys for not peeing standing up have major self esteem issues or insecurities.
I’m a man and I pee sitting down because:
- it’s more comfortable
- it doesn’t splash pee water everywhere all over the toilet bowl and the floor or my pants.
- can access the toilet paper easier to wipe clean instead of just shaking it and having a wet pee stain on my underwear
- I have my hands free to use my phone
- I can also fight anyone that might barge in an try to assault me while I pee without peeing on myself so it’s a tactical defense position.
Real men sit to pee so they don’t have to clean their own piss up later.
Whenever I talk about this, some asshat will come along and make a comment about sitting on a tree. No, dumbass, I don’t sit to pee on a tree. Or a urinal. I sit to pee on my toilet at home so I can tell you what an idiot you are while I’m pissing just to prove how manly I am.
Real men pee however they want and make sure not to leave a mess for the next bathroom user. Standing or sitting has nothing to do with masculinity.
- My wife makes me
Because the toilet touches your ass therefore automatically making you gay, bro. Same reason some men don’t wipe their asshole.
I wish I was kidding.
I’m sorry some men think wiping their ass is gay? That’s the weirdest thing I’ve heard this week
I don’t know who y’all hang out with, but my friends for decades have given each other shit for anything we can possibly think of. It’s a form of male bonding.
Some people are like that, I’ve never understood it
