LA talk radio celebrity Tom Leykis rails against the practice regularly. Boisterously promulgating the male’s divine right to stand and go. Truth is quite often unless you are in your twenties with a perfect tight stream; relieving your bladder while standing often subtly anoints many unintended surrounding surfaces in the bathroom with your modified blood plasma. If you suffer from any number of maladies or conditions that may effect the trajectory of your stream your hostess would be very grateful if you would forgo issues of standard male practice and effect your relief while sitting.

they'll have to pry my dick out of my cold dead hand. lol

It's not about ego, it's a territorial thing.  A man has the right to overspray anywhere he feels like it!

Sitting to urinate is a matter of consideration for others who use the same commode (male OR female).  You would not want to sit on a stool where a woman's menstrual blood was smeared, would you?  Machismo shold never outweigh consideration of others.

That's why the seat pivots, dear.

when you flush. Your toothbrush, soap, hand towels, scale, shower curtain will thank you.  You cant imagine how far that stuff travels when you flush that toilet.  On an even grosser note number 2 travels too...yuck.

You ever try to pee sitting down with half a stiffy and inadvertently directing the entire content of your bladder between the toilet seat and the rim?  You don't notice the puddle until you stand up?

I'm sorry dude (or more likely dudette), but I disagree.  A small amount of overspray is the price society pays for not putting urinals in every bathroom.

when Mother decided we had to clean the toilets our aim improved greatly, or we sat down.
