    After moving into my own house as a teen, I always sit at home. I’m the dude who has to clean the washroom.

    At a public place with a urinal, I’ll stand. I always feel weird sitting on it.

    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.

    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.

      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).

    Or how about: don’t shame anyone about how they prefer to pee, as long as they leave a clean toilet afterwards?

    Standing is just gross. Pee mists everywhere, even if you have perfect aim. All around the toilet and the wall and floor near it.

    And if you need proof of this, visit the house of a bachelor that never cleans.

    Sitting unless I’m in the forest.

    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.

    Sitting down is also much more relaxing.

      …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?

      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.

    Sit at home on my Japanese toilet with a heated seat, stand everywhere else. Heated toilet seat is blissful.
