I have a serious question? Is this really an issue in many households where there is a man and a woman living with each other? Why is it deemed non-masculine for a man to sit his ass down when he uses the bathroom no matter what he is doing? That's the central issue at hand in these situations correct? The elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about and I find it one of the most hilarious things in the world. One of the more insightful windows into just how weird we are as a species with certain things.  

I mean at any age, a male should be taught when using a toilet to sit his butt down! When you're young, your urine is full stream. It can shoot lasers but the urine is still splashing with water and the effect can be obvious right? Even if it's not always obvious to the eye. Piss can possibly get on other places except for the toilet bowl. Then as you get older, the stream or effectiveness of shooting darts gets worse. No need to explain the utter should be common sense need to sit your butt down then, right? Yet.....lol. In my opinion, this is not solely a crazy male view of supposed manhood held by too many but too many women see the stand up or sit down in the same terms as far as a man, right? Because most of what I think is said by a woman is raise the damn toilet seat or attempt to clean up after yourself. Why that instead of sit your ass down hun to their son, husband, boyfriend, whomever. What the hell is up with that? It's one of the funniest phenomenons I have ever come across.

Any thoughts? Has this been discussed here already? Has anyone discussed this with significant others, friends and such?  

What am I missing here? Does standing up to urinate really make one feel themselves or viewed by women to be more like a "MAN".

Oh, and I'm not talking about the need for urinals in public places. Oh, thank the gods for them. Even though, the splash back can be horrific but shared toilets for the masses are utterly some of the most disgusting things on the planet. Ugh!

Am I just being a fruit

If I really wanted to sit to pee, I'd do so. I wouldn't consider myself much of a man if I were to hang my masculinity on whether I stand or sit to pee, and very few women have seen me pee and would know if I stand or sit to do so. I'm not shy about evacuating my urine or bowels, but its something that I'd much rather do in private.

The thread started out being about smashing urinals but it soon morphed into this very subject!

Is this subject going to go the way of dick size threads, bad hygiene threads and the like?

Say it ain't so...

...the bathroom when I went to pee.  She held my dick like it was a hose nozzle.  She said she wanted to know what it was like for a man to pee standing up.  Weird!

I'm willing to bet for most men it's just a matter of custom and not trying to be "macho". Afterall don't we all learn how to pee according to sex when we were toddlers?

I will always sit. I don't want my pee splashing around their place. Same with my own bathroom .

Public restrooms (including the woods) - I definitely stand there. The less contact there the better.

Cleanliness and consideration of others is far more important than how other people feel about whether I sit or stand.

Toilet seat up...down...whatever  LOL

Thanks for the responses all. Nice to see that it really doesn't matter to some. I was just asking. I just always wondered why the conversation on TV and within a few circles I had been around was talking strictly about the debate between seat up or seat down. Hardly ever stand up or sit down. It's just a tad bit fascinating to me.

Now, being of the lesbo persuasion, in a live-in arrangement with an SO this is a total non-issue. Sitting down is how we do it.  

BUT, having friends of the male persuasion, on more than a few occasions, after a simple inspection of the loo after visits from these lovely and adorable male friends-----I have asked myself: WTF happened in here?!

How difficult is it to hit the bowl without splattering? Everywhere. I don't have numbers to support my analysis. But my guess is: it has to be difficult enough to rate...maybe....85% accuracy level? (And please note----even a 95% accuracy leaves an unpleasant clean-up job for your wonderful host-ess')

My thought is: Either sit your GD ass down or, clean up after yourself. How hard can that be?  

(and any guy who thinks his manhood is in danger if he sits to pee has a very fucked-up idea of what 'manhood' means.)

would reverse custom for practical reasons and thus maybe reverse such customs for good within most of the world which is modern now. Historically, going way way back, it makes sense right or still in some select environments now. Don't sit down or squat in the wilderness and bushes unless you have to, lol. I suppose. I mean who cares then. Plants and dirt are getting the urine.

Just wondering, questioning, asking if it has changed over time for most and if so, why hasn't it

This was discussed. This actual pinpointed question? If so, I apologize for your eyes and frustrations with "having" to read another thread about such.  

Thank you for the feedback! ;

Guys are slobs and have no excuse.  When I lived with a woman I put up the seat before pissing, then put it down again when done.  And if I splattered (it does happen, plants, and is sometimes unavoidable given our equipment) I wiped up.  Sometimes when we pee it actually comes out in two streams, making it pretty hard to aim perfectly.  So you're not a slob if you splatter a bit.  But you are a slob if you don't clean up after yourself.  It's really not so complicated.

but she wanted to aim it and I ended up laughing so fucking hard as she was aiming my "stream" that I ended up pissing all over the floor, the wall, all over the fucking bathroom. Just thinking about it still cracks me up to this day.

Not saying any of these guys are slobs; in fact----I know they're not. But I don't see how splatter can be completely avoided if you're standing. Even a perfect aim (with only one stream...lol....) is bound to bounce back; even with the seat up.  

I'm thinkin' guys are just used to it, generally speaking, and don't really think much about it.  

But, really, how hard is it to sit? I don't know.  

Any answer that includes anything about how men don't sit to pee, because "real" men don't sit to pee, gets an extra large LOL from me.

you should also know that most women want the world to believe they never fart, and a corollary is that most wives get mad if their husbands fart (no matter how amusingly we carry it out!).  That is the true elephant in the room, and there will be no chance for World Peace until this matter is settled.

He only has to unzip his fly and whip it out, whereas standing requires him to unbuckle his belt and pull down his pants.
The only time I sit down is if I wake up at night and have to pee.  Because standing up then is just too much work. Then again, I have no SO.

our cultural preference for using several minutes wasting 20+ sheets of TP wiping/smearing rather than 15 to 30 seconds having a simple bidet attachment gently rinse our backsides squeaky clean after a #2. They also have historically proved VERY practical for a woman's 'anterior' hygienic needs making them invaluable for quick clean-ups between lovers and/or clients.

Then they deny it was them.  Or claim their farts are "sweet."  They are not.

Especially if I ended up pissing all over you. lol

Honestly, I can't remember laughing so hard, especially when she tried "regulating the flow" of my stream. Good thing it was her bathroom I pissed all over. Yes, I made her clean it up. lol

Along with the other paper product idustry folks and lobbiests.

I won't judge you based upon that.

I think that is a pretty fair all the way around!
Good sportsmanship fellows! Us ladies are more curious than we let on at times lol and yes, so taboo to ask?
So silly and FUN!
Good times!

I thought that was a water fountain.

Posted this a long while back and had to dig for it, on another social network lol go figure.  
Your post made me "LOL" with this in my head.

 
P.S. There's nothing gay about a man sitting on a toilet, at least not in THIS woman's perspective. Hell, "I" sit on a toilet, so what the eff do I care? All I care about is my ass not hitting cold porcelain if I happen to groggily stumble to go pee at 3:00 a.m. But ya know most women are gonna bitch after that happens, regardless who or why the seat got left up!  

And yes.... Spalshback sucks.
YUCK....
This is me when it happens.... LOL

Foxy

Just a bidet between clients? Yes, I said "just."

Ew.

Then again, I NEED a bath after most clients....  
That's just how I roll!

ijs...

The fact is that you can aim and have a perfect stream but you can have the stream come out completely sideways.   Then we are not just talking about cleaning up the seat, it becomes a complete hazmat situation in which the floor and the walls need remediation

Reminds me of our latest Super Bowl party.  At some point I got up to go to one of our guest bathrooms and somebody had peed all over the leather mat we had in there.   Obviously, no attempt had been made to clean-up, the thing could have been mistaken for a pond, I bet he managed to put more pee on the mat than in the bowl.  Spots never came out, I had to throw it out.

Weyerhaeuser funded the campaign to "prohibit" Marijuana. Hemp products are in direct competition to wood/paper and more.

Please stop before you injure yourself again

Particularly a DuPont product called Rayon.
I did a 5 page oration on it (completely researched) for Forensics(Drama) in high school.  
Hemp Flaxen can be used to make products from silk like, denim, to rubber, asphalt, & more.

Bet people wouldn't think we knew things like that though, right?

My comments on this subject will certainly illustrate one of the many reasons why I don't have a SO.  

I have never gone to sit down on a fucking toilet and not looked down first to see whether the seat was down, if I can do this I expect a woman to be able to do this. Come on folks, this is a pretty simple task.

I was visiting a friends GF's house (with him), his GF was a real ball buster, when I went to use the bathroom she told me to make sure I put the seat back down when I was done. I was kinda taken aback by that statement, but OK, I get it, do I did. She checked, it was as if she was standing there waiting for me to be done do she could check to make sure I put the fucking seat back down. I felt like telling her " hey I got the message, I put it down". She was such a bitch and such a ball buster for the remaining hour that I was there, that before I left I used the toilet again and I never lifted the fucking seat, yeah she peeked in when I came out, she didn't notice that there was some piss on her seat when she peeked in, but I'm confident that she noticed the next time she sat down.

I was never invited back over, go figure huh. And that was perfectly fine, I had no intentions on ever visiting with that wicked witch of the west again anyway.

I'm not a disrespectful person, unless you treat me like a child, because if you treat me like a child, I'll act like one.

setters, and on the other put a sign that say pointers.

It's a dog-eat-dog world, after all.

that you want him sitting when he has to do the other at least or things could get really interesting in your household and really quick! Lol. I'm joking with you but urination occurs then too, so why not when a man just has to urinate. I totally disagree with you with how you are viewing it but I appreciate your sentiments. I really can understand. It has nothing to do with manhood in the slightest but I can feel your sentiments and where they come from. As far as the seat being up, that doesn't really solve the issue of what I'm speaking as far as splash for young men and misdirection which is normal for most older gentleman. Especially if you're dehydrated. I mean it can go anywhere. And let's not talk about the need when some are erect! lol. I mean boy. Walls can see some action then!, but that's a small percentage of the time for sure as far as when we urinate. Still pretty high though. Lol.

As far as some with the argument of its easier for men to stand or more convenient, I have to chuckle a tad bit. Outside of medical issues, knees/back,,etc. What are we talking? A 90 degree revolution of the body and a squat!! Lol. Use it as an exercising opportunity I say. Lol.

I swear I feel your sentiments though. I love how you put, some of them make sense and some of them don't. So, you understand but still don't like. I can dig that!!

Take care Melissa. Thanks for response.

You have me dying over here my man. I'm glad you could voice your frustrations with that nonsense!! Over board is an understatement I would say. Wow. I'm not promoting pissing on someone's toilet but man, I'm not going to look at you as if you're sooo crazy on that one!!! I'm really not. Way too much craziness on her part for sure! Too funny.

In all fairness the visual of ANY female seated on the porcelain throne pushing out a steamer would similarly dull my libido. It's simply one of her and womankind's many "mysteries" that needn't be answered nor seen.  

  I agree totally about the seat up or down. It's far easier to look before you squat than constantly remind, nag, chide, castigate or debase someone thereafter. It's as petty as complaining about which direction the "roll" was installed.  
 

I maybe wrong but I'm willing to bet most men do it because of two reasons probably in the following order:

1)  Habbit: we learned to pee and have always peed standing up (unless on rare occasion such as medical necessities which have happened to me).  

2)  Laziness: self-explanatory.

Don't know about other guys but I am well aware of the splash problem. So I do try very hard to aim good and minimize splash. And for occasional serious splash problem despite best effort I do wipe the outside of the toilet down. BTW of course I always lifted the seat up beforehand.

For the worst offenders among your male friends maybe you should just tell/ask them to sit while peeing?

I don't know what Weyerhaeuser has funded but I can assure you hemp products are not in direct competition to provide the lumber that homes are built out of. Of course I could be wrong, maybe somebody has started growing marijuana trees.

we basically piss it. The only difference is he drinks champagne and I will sometimes quaff some tequila so the bouquet is a bit different.  It depends on what flavor you prefer.

Lowering said pants for a crap is the same as to pee.
