I've been a devoted sitter for a while. If you stand, you are peeing on your floor. Maybe not a lot, maybe not even a perceptible amount on any individual trip, but definitely some, and over time, a lot. I'm of the opinion it's weird to pee on your own floor, and have been enthusiastically lambasted for this on multiple occasions. Some men for example find it unmanly. Which, putting aside for a moment the fact that there is no inherent correlation with manliness and goodness, is bullshit. Unless they stand to pee when pooping, they already pee sitting down on a regular basis. All I'm doing is increasing the frequency of seated micturation.
That’s why you close the lid to flush… That absolutely bothers me, I wear retainers and they clean in a solution on the counter during the day. I don’t want pee on them or my toothbrush!
I guess I would just say that I feel the acceptable amount for one to pee on their own floor willfully is none. Flushing may present a new issue after the fact, but I can't see a way around flushing. I can however see a way around electing to pee in a sloppy manner because I'm lazy. Though arguably sitting is famously more comfortable than standing, so perhaps impatient would be more accurate than lazy.
the acceptable amount for one to pee on their own floor willfully is none
Nobody's talking about willfully peeing on the floor, we're only talking about microscopic amounts of pee mist that could drift away from the stream when you're peeing from 50 cm from the bowl instead of 10 cm from the bowl.
I just don't want to piss on other peoples floor. Its one thing to piss on my floor and for me to clean it up, its another thing to piss on someone elses floor and expect them to clean it up.
I mean, I'm usually a sitter but sometimes there's a knot in my back that, well when it relaxes it uncorks the damn dam. Sometimes you gotta do calisthenics to get the juices flowing
Totally. Which highlights another aspect of seated superiority: effort. Peeing while seated is absolutely fool proof. Absolutely no focus required. Why concentrate when you can day dream? And it never goes wrong. You're never surprised. Post sex, drunk, in complete darkness, tou never miss, ever.
As a man, I don't justify my choice of peeing positions to anyone. I sit or stand if I want to, and anyone who doesn't like it can fuck off and take their opinions with them.
I've worked in one of those oldhead machine shops where they deliberately don't have any chairs in the work area because "if you're not standing you're not working." You bet I sat my ass down on the toilet instead of using the urinal.
I wouldn't, I don't want to release people's fecal particles into the air while I'm standing there. I find a clean toilet or I go to a different bathroom
Don't know how the toilets work in your country/neck of the woods, but 'round here there's a good 8-10 inches clearance between the water and my ass. I ain't hung like a fuckin donkey.
I have toddlers, twins. They get mesmerised by the laminar flow in the wee and try to grab it.
I guess before I had kids I would wonder why the kids are present for this event but toddlers are super busy, super active, and super curious. You can be watching them juggle knives in the kitchen or whatever and decide to just take a moment to go wee and slink away and they just kinda teleport to your location and try to grab your wee stream.
If you're sitting then you have both hands available to fend off curious hands.
The one trick that I rely on multiple times a day is redirection. "Don't touch daddies wee" translates to "daddies wee is super interesting". However, "Look at this amazing square of toilet paper" is received more or less as stated.
As an owner of girlcock, i do pee while sitting, unless i have to use public restroom, then i pee standing. Public toilets are way to creepy and gross for me to touch them.
I was kind of pressured by my girlfriend to sit, and in the beginning I didn't like it because I felt pressured. However, after sitting for a while, I discovered that it's absolutely the best choice. When you're sitting, you can empty your bladder more. You're comfortable, you're resting, and you don't have to aim. You don't have to do anything. You're just sitting there, emptying your bladder.
Urinators of the world unite! You have nothing to lose, but your pants! ✊
I've been seeing a girl recently and been trying to sit rather than stand. She owns her own home alone so to me it feels very rude to piss all over the floor and seat, even if its just a drop or two that gets away from the bowl. If i wanna stand so badly I'll just go with her dogs in the yard.
I was stand wiper as a kid cause i never knew any better i guess. Someone told me you could reach around and clean before the cheeks close together and it blew my mind and I've never looked back.
If this is a toilet that belongs to you, you can adjust the water level in the bowl by changing the valve in the tank so the bowl fills slower and is more shallow when the tank is filled..
I find the only advantage of having a big dick is the confidence that comes from having a big dick in a society that values that. Everything else is a pain in the ass.
This is gonna sound ... ok ... Here goes: I cannot sit. I got too fat and now my penis looks like a little acorn that points forward. If I sit to pee, it'll splash directly out through the gap under the seat.
I really need to lose weight, if only so I can get my length back, and not have to tuck it down while cursing what I've allowed to happen with my body.
Oh wait. Yeah. I just tuck it down. Then sitting is fine.
i mean they're the standard expensive as fuck price, but i've made some orders through byram healthcare that i paid cash for.
I've also seen my preferred equipment on the bezobazaar for the same price, so i use them as my emergency supplier. if you're having trouble getting supplies let me know - a former coworker now owns and runs a medical supply/equipment store and between the three of us we can figure something out. absolutely don't want you running out of equipment.
Appreciate the offer g - I think my big thing right now is finding a bag/system that I like. I really struggle with getting them to stay on! It’s hotter than heck outside and I sweat like a stuck pig/am reluctant to shave my belly hair.
Oh I shave every time. It helps. I get two more days between changes if I shave around my ileostomy. Then I wash with Neutrogena soap afters. I use the two piece convatec surfit natura. The moldable durahesive is expensive as fuck, but I can get a week between changes.
Also finding the right skin barrier is essential. I use smith&nephew. The ones on the lollipop are great but really expensive. I haven't found an insurance willing to pay for them.
The one important and overlooked thing is making sure you don't use fabric softener on your towels. Also use a brand new (like, fresh out of the cabinet/laundry) towel. Don't want oils from your skin/shampoo/whatever somehow getting on your towel and then hands and then giving your glue a worse adhesion.
You have a name for your stoma? Mine is Elmo. Because he's little, red, and annoying.
Depends what I'm doing. Escaping work? Sit. Half asleep? Sit. Just trying to get shit done but I'm having this annoying ass interruption? Stand. Watering the graves of assholes? Stand. Anything else is basically sit. Oh except gross toilets you really don't want to touch.
Sitting down takes longer. IMO it also flows more easily if I'm standing. I'll sit if I'm tired, or half-asleep, or whatever. I'll stand most of the time to get it over with faster.
Sitting is not only superior, it's also optimal for proper urination. This is not my opinion. A pelvic PT professional told me this. I only stand rarely. Mostly when I'm in a public restroom with a urinal.
Plant your feet firmly on the ground, a little wider than shoulder width. Put your head between your knees. Now try to tell me loafs don't pinch easier in that pose
I do like to sit, but it's a lot harder to get those last few drops out. Sometimes I think I'm all good and then I stand up just to have a few more drops get pushed out right into my pants or underwear. That is definitely not elite.
When standing up it's definitely harder to get the last drops out. Sitting is easy as fuck, just use TP. On urinals there is no TP, so can't get rid of the last 1-2 drops. Never have that problem when sitting due to TP.
I suspect this is more about the movement. I'm interested to know how it compares if you pee standing, but then sit immediately after.
Anatomically, the sitting position should provide a better path to emptying the bladder, and there are several comments here saying the opposite to you.
I think the very best for emptying is pee sitting, then stand, sit back down, and see if any more will come out.
Sitting has a number of problems, for me it's mainly dick touching the toilet seat and it's impossible to pee all the way with the dick curved inside the bowl. And, if it's a public toilet, it's simply nasty.
It is completely possible to avoid splashing and noises and spreading pee around while peeing standing. Just aim slightly away from water, and if your aim is bad, clean whatever mess you could make.
Also, urinals are superior pissing devices and should be used when possible.
I go into a lot of fancy houses for work and some of them have urinals in some of their bathrooms, I'm always quite jealous about them when I see one, would definitely be nice to have (and that's coming from someone that sits to pee at home, but does experience some of the issues you describe).
I sit because I'm trans lol. And when the toilet is nasty, I squat and hover. I know they make stand-to-pee devices, but I'm just really not stoked about having to carry a piss-covered prosthetic all day.
Wouldn't you just wash it when you wash your hands? I guess that could be awkward in a public restroom though; don't mind me, just rinsing my piss funnel.
Maybe there's a market for a falsie with a compartment to hold your pee device, because nobody would think twice if your piss-covered prosthetic was between your legs, that's just guy stuff
Ever peed standing while wearing shorts? It's disgusting. Just sit down like a civilized person. Or clean the toilet yourself, properly, so you know how nasty it is to wipe away pee splatters all over the place from you and all other men who didn't sit down.
....is this the reason guys prefer longer shorts? So they don't feel the splashback of toilet water on their legs when they stand to pee? You guys don't care if it spashes back you just prefer to wear it all day obviously?
When I became the bathroom-cleaner in my household, I switched to sitting. It wasn't until I got my nose and eyeballs right down close to the floor and the toilet on a regular basis that I learned how bad the splashing situation really was.
My dickhole dipping into water or rubbing on random ceramic, as being unwanted, should be as uncontroversial as a bidet being the clearly ~only way to clean poop from a butt.
But here we are, "just use some paper to wipe it off" is not only a permanent standard in the US but apparently worth fighting over, in times of shortage lmao.
At night, sit. I don't want to clean that shit. Unless I'm pissing in the fridge, the light and cold air is nice.
P.S. I'm trying to donate a kidney and I needed to keep 24 hours of urine refrigerated. At night I figured there was no reason to take the jug to the bathroom.
So what, you expect people to just not use the urinals provided and instead wait 5 minutes for a stall to open up then have to clean the taco bell spray from the last guy in there before you can get your business done?
Plus if I sit, I'm gonna fart. If I fart a little poop might join it, and if I start pooping I'm gonna be there a while. I've been a lifelong poop marker victim
Honestly, I've had a varied diet throughout my life. From mostly cheese, potatoes, and meat; to a balanced diet with whole grains, lots of leafy greens, very little animal products, and plenty of water. While the quality of my poops will improve with fiber, the speed will not. I've tried cleanses, an enema, squatty potty. I always wind up needing to sit for several minutes for things to work themselves out. It's been that way since at least my teenage years. If I start wiping prematurely, poop marker
Have you tried a stool to elevate your legs and put you closer to a squat? It really helps the movement down there. I know that poop marker thing you're talking about but i don't get it everytime, just on rare occasions.
I broke my ankle four and a half years ago and it never healed correctly. Recently, though probably from the same incident, I also developed a spinal injury.
Even if being a recumbent urinator didn't just make sense from a cleanliness perspective, I would still be doing that these days.
But then you don't get to play the sinking and or stain cleaning game? That's one of the best parts of being a man!
I sit down sometimes when I'm tired or if I just wanna sit down and fuck around on my phone for a bit. Also at night! I love those no lights to not fuck up your sleep, sit down, take a piss, then quickly get back to bed without touching your phone or talking to anyone so you can hopefully go back to bed!
I'm trans and I would sit down to avoid the dysphoria and inevitable dripping, but I had a magnum cock and would often suffer the witches' kiss, which sucked. Fortunately, I've had surgery, and now I have no genitals, so sitting to pee is less gross now.
Both of my sons sit, I stand. I’m not sure what I did to deserve such considerate children as they just started doing it on their own before my oldest was even ten but bathroom upkeep was improved so much. I try to be conscious and careful and I still always wipe the rim with toilet paper after before I wash my hands unless the toilet is gross af.
If you stand, even at the urinal, you need to learn where to aim. Don’t pee in the water because it will splash on your feet and lower pants. Aim for to side (inside the bowl) near to the water. Quiet and no splashing.
I really hate toilets that are designed so that you can’t do that. They have to be designed by sitters.
You're still getting piss out of the bowl if you're on the sides. Its not as drastic as the center but its still a stream hitting a fairly flat surface from a decent height.
The sides of most bowls slope downward steeply. I have heard about toilets in Europe that have a shelf on the inside so you can examine your poop before flushing. Is that what you are thinking of?
No I'm thinking a normal toilet. Maybe if you are on the shorter side you can get a more favorable angle but otherwise the piss stream hits the porcelain at a nearly perpendicular angle and sprays nearly everywhere. Not as drastically as in the water but enough i can sometimes feel the mist if I'm in shorts.
Have you tried bunching the dress up and tucking it under your arms to expose your bottom half? Not trying to judge just seems like that might be easier.
I can't help but imagine that there is some solution to peeing in a dress besides doing it while standing up, considering that dresses were traditionally worn by people who do not have cocks.
I’ve have never heard of this happening when these memes come up so my wiener might be broke but I can’t pee sitting down. All of my pee won’t come out and I have to lean down and stretch my peen so it all comes out. If I don’t and stand up I’ll literally pee on the floor.
I scoot forward or slide back to get a finger down there if needed, usually scooting back and going in from the side of the package. If my business is done i can slide back far enough that my butthole is over the seat and spread pretty wide. When standing i got my pants and underwear in the way and gotta bend the knees and spread the thighs a bit to get a good angle while trying to aim that last squirt.
I lived in a place where the lid wouldn't stay up on it's own so it was either sit or piss at a quarter squat or partially bent back to hold the lid up. I still pee sitting down most of the time. It's a better experience.
It's too small, maybe about half an inch or less. There isn't much else to explain. Stream often lands between the bowl and the seat and I don't realize it until it's too late
I... don't actually understand how to do that. I broke my back two decades ago, and no one ever told me after I healed I could move again the way I used to, so there are ways people understand how to move that I've just forgotten
I stand most of the time. I sit when exhausted or when i know my spray won't be good, or if I have gas I don't trust to be just gas. I've also been trying to get into the habit of sitting when at a woman's house/apartment. It just doesn't seem fair for me to make a mess with splashback, especially if they don't live with any men. Unless I'm doing some of the cleaning it seems more fair to just sit and get the business done that way. Plus this way I'll never leave the seat up.

You're weird because apparently you don't clean your bathroom floors.
Sure, microscopic amounts of pee gets on the floor. Then, every couple of weeks you clean your bathroom.
You know that when you flush a toilet you aerosolize a bit of the contents and they drift out and land around the room too. Does that bother you?

I have actually found that the American ones are filled way too high with water. Like mostly full it's crazy.
So while I'm not a big guy myself I've had a couple really unwelcome dips while sitting down on what are, imho, overfilled bowls.
What I usually do is take a bit of toilet paper and sort of use my hand to park the kit under my butt cheek.
I dunno, I feel like there should be a class for this because now I wonder if I'm doing it wrong.

If this is a toilet that belongs to you, you can adjust the water level in the bowl by changing the valve in the tank so the bowl fills slower and is more shallow when the tank is filled..

Oh I shave every time. It helps. I get two more days between changes if I shave around my ileostomy. Then I wash with Neutrogena soap afters. I use the two piece convatec surfit natura. The moldable durahesive is expensive as fuck, but I can get a week between changes.
Also finding the right skin barrier is essential. I use smith&nephew. The ones on the lollipop are great but really expensive. I haven't found an insurance willing to pay for them.
The one important and overlooked thing is making sure you don't use fabric softener on your towels. Also use a brand new (like, fresh out of the cabinet/laundry) towel. Don't want oils from your skin/shampoo/whatever somehow getting on your towel and then hands and then giving your glue a worse adhesion.

I suspect this is more about the movement. I'm interested to know how it compares if you pee standing, but then sit immediately after.
Anatomically, the sitting position should provide a better path to emptying the bladder, and there are several comments here saying the opposite to you.
I think the very best for emptying is pee sitting, then stand, sit back down, and see if any more will come out.

Absolutely stand.
Sitting has a number of problems, for me it's mainly dick touching the toilet seat and it's impossible to pee all the way with the dick curved inside the bowl. And, if it's a public toilet, it's simply nasty.
It is completely possible to avoid splashing and noises and spreading pee around while peeing standing. Just aim slightly away from water, and if your aim is bad, clean whatever mess you could make.
Also, urinals are superior pissing devices and should be used when possible.
Obi@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 52d
I go into a lot of fancy houses for work and some of them have urinals in some of their bathrooms, I'm always quite jealous about them when I see one, would definitely be nice to have (and that's coming from someone that sits to pee at home, but does experience some of the issues you describe).

I mostly sit but I think the downsides are downplayed.
In my old age of creeping towards 40 my stream has died down a little, but no splash ?
There is splash. Even with my pathetic old man pressure there is splash. It doesn't go on the floor. it goes on my thighs and under the toilet seat.
Before when I was young and virile it was a big issue and very uncomfortable to veeeeeery gently let a portion of my stream out over a long time.
There's also the issue of not accidentally booping the porcelain with the tip.
Granted its nice to have a sit down alone, and with measures taken it can even be nice, but its not a clear cut winner.
Also peeing freely outside is of course the best. Or from something very high up.

the urine can get trapped between the foreskin before exiting, depends how loose your skin is.

But then you don't get to play the sinking and or stain cleaning game? That's one of the best parts of being a man!
I sit down sometimes when I'm tired or if I just wanna sit down and fuck around on my phone for a bit. Also at night! I love those no lights to not fuck up your sleep, sit down, take a piss, then quickly get back to bed without touching your phone or talking to anyone so you can hopefully go back to bed!

I'm trans and I would sit down to avoid the dysphoria and inevitable dripping, but I had a magnum cock and would often suffer the witches' kiss, which sucked. Fortunately, I've had surgery, and now I have no genitals, so sitting to pee is less gross now.

You sit like a normal person with your face away from the toilet block.
And yes. This wonderful Dutch design allows you to inspect your work before assigning it to the dark depths of sewage.

Both of my sons sit, I stand. I’m not sure what I did to deserve such considerate children as they just started doing it on their own before my oldest was even ten but bathroom upkeep was improved so much. I try to be conscious and careful and I still always wipe the rim with toilet paper after before I wash my hands unless the toilet is gross af.

There comes a time in a man's life when sitting down on the toilet means your carry-on might meet an unexpected water landing.

North American? Water in toilets there is way higher than anywhere else in the world I've been.

That's because we consume far too much carbs and meat, so we take big American shits. We need that water, or the shit will win.

If I am only going to urinate and the place has a urinal, stand. Else, sit.
Simulation6@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 53d
If you stand, even at the urinal, you need to learn where to aim. Don’t pee in the water because it will splash on your feet and lower pants. Aim for to side (inside the bowl) near to the water. Quiet and no splashing.
I really hate toilets that are designed so that you can’t do that. They have to be designed by sitters.
FireRetardant@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 53d
You're still getting piss out of the bowl if you're on the sides. Its not as drastic as the center but its still a stream hitting a fairly flat surface from a decent height.
Simulation6@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 53d
The sides of most bowls slope downward steeply. I have heard about toilets in Europe that have a shelf on the inside so you can examine your poop before flushing. Is that what you are thinking of?
FireRetardant@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 53d
No I'm thinking a normal toilet. Maybe if you are on the shorter side you can get a more favorable angle but otherwise the piss stream hits the porcelain at a nearly perpendicular angle and sprays nearly everywhere. Not as drastically as in the water but enough i can sometimes feel the mist if I'm in shorts.
Zier@fedia.io · 1 pts · 53d
There are a few medical studies that promote sitting because the muscles men use to urinate relax more while sitting.

Have you tried bunching the dress up and tucking it under your arms to expose your bottom half? Not trying to judge just seems like that might be easier.
turdas@suppo.fi · 2 pts · 53d
I can't help but imagine that there is some solution to peeing in a dress besides doing it while standing up, considering that dresses were traditionally worn by people who do not have cocks.
FireRetardant@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 53d
If they don't have cocks, then they probably don't have balls, which means they have nowhere to store their pee and therefore never have to pee.

I’ve have never heard of this happening when these memes come up so my wiener might be broke but I can’t pee sitting down. All of my pee won’t come out and I have to lean down and stretch my peen so it all comes out. If I don’t and stand up I’ll literally pee on the floor.
ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 53d
Leaning forward is easier for your bladder to empty.
FireRetardant@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 53d
Sitting also gives better access to push on the part between the balls and butthole which can reduce post piss drippage.
ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 53d
I feel like standing helps with that more because you aren't confined by the size of the bowl.
FireRetardant@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 53d
I scoot forward or slide back to get a finger down there if needed, usually scooting back and going in from the side of the package. If my business is done i can slide back far enough that my butthole is over the seat and spread pretty wide. When standing i got my pants and underwear in the way and gotta bend the knees and spread the thighs a bit to get a good angle while trying to aim that last squirt.

I lived in a place where the lid wouldn't stay up on it's own so it was either sit or piss at a quarter squat or partially bent back to hold the lid up. I still pee sitting down most of the time. It's a better experience.
mereo@piefed.ca · 1 pts · 53d
I sit. It's comfortable, and you don't need to clean up any messes from splashback.

It's great as long as you don't pee perfectly forward and don't realize it until you're standing up in a pool of pee.
No matter what I try, this just happens sometimes, so sitting or standing are both awful
howrar@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 52d
How does that happen? You point your dick straight down and the stream decides to shoot out at a 90 degree angle?
hereiamagain@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 52d
Touching your own pp is gay, apparently
SlothMama@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 51d
It's too small, maybe about half an inch or less. There isn't much else to explain. Stream often lands between the bowl and the seat and I don't realize it until it's too late
howrar@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 51d
So you tilt your hips down? That's how you direct pee with a vulva.

I... don't actually understand how to do that. I broke my back two decades ago, and no one ever told me after I healed I could move again the way I used to, so there are ways people understand how to move that I've just forgotten
A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl · 1 pts · 52d
if I sit, the pee will go trough the space between the seat and the WC's mainframe, unless I point it down.
FireRetardant@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 53d
I stand most of the time. I sit when exhausted or when i know my spray won't be good, or if I have gas I don't trust to be just gas. I've also been trying to get into the habit of sitting when at a woman's house/apartment. It just doesn't seem fair for me to make a mess with splashback, especially if they don't live with any men. Unless I'm doing some of the cleaning it seems more fair to just sit and get the business done that way. Plus this way I'll never leave the seat up.
