    Just as soon as people quit pissing on it.

    I supposedly go to work in a building with other adults.

      Men who stand to piss has never had to clean the bathroom. It’s standard in Germany to sit when pissing. It’s also healthy for men, so if you’re standing, especially at home, sit the fuck down!

        I’m a man who both stand and clean my own toilet, sorry if your preconceptions are wrong.

          I’d recommend that you sit, just because it’s healthier for you. But you do you!

              Shown in this study, men should sit due to the splashback, which will travel throughout the bathroom, and will land on your toothbrush, where bacteria will grow (tip: keep your toothbrush in a cupboard or similar).

                For the 1st one:

                Eleven articles were included. In men with LUTS, a significantly lower PVR (−24.96 ml; 95%CI −48.70 to −1.23) was shown in sitting position compared to standing. In accordance, Qmax was increased (1.23 ml/s; 95%CI −1.02 to 3.48), and TQ was decreased (−0.62 s; 95%CI −1.66 to 0.42) in sitting position, although these differences did not reach statistical significance. In healthy men, Qmax (0.18 ml/s; 95% CI −1.67 to 2.02), TQ (0.49 s; 95%CI −3.30 to 4.27) and PVR (0.43 ml; 95%CI −0.79 to 1,65) were similar in sitting and standing position.

                So that others don’t have to go read it to find out, LUTS is Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms. Right off the bat, if you don’t have a LUTS, this doesn’t appear to apply to you. Further, it even says there was no statistical significance for those with LUTS or healthy men.

                The conclusion:

                For healthy men, no difference is found in any of the urodynamic parameters. In patients with LUTS, the sitting position is linked with an improved urodynamic profile.

                For the 2nd, I didn’t get past the title:

                Urine Is Not Sterile: Use of Enhanced Urine Culture Techniques To Detect Resident Bacterial Flora in the Adult Female Bladder

                This seems to be about female bladders. I could be wrong here but I do think we were talking about males standing to pee. The words “sitting”, “standing”, and “male” make no appearance in the study.

                This is a strange topic to have such a strong opinion about to have no good proof for.

        So standard that they had to have an influence campaign to shame men into “sitz pickling” in homes.

        I’m saying this as a man sitting on a toilet peeing at this very moment, so I’m all in favor. But I think the other commenters should know the history.

        Personally I’m in favor of sitting when plumbing is involved, and standing out in nature.

        Healthier how? I also clean and stand, and put the seat down to flush.

        You seem quite passionate about this?

          Yes, I am, because people should do what’s healthy for them. It’s not like I don’t stand when I’m out in the woods/in public toilets/in my garden (for the plants), but sitting let’s more urine out, making less of a mess of those small droplets than you can’t get out.

          On that note, after you’ve pissed, try dragging your finger from underneath your balls and forward towards your balls - you’ll be surprised how much urine you’ll push out!

        It’s standard in Germany to sit when pissing.

        I’m north of the border. Here it’s apparently standard not to use the urinals either, but men will walk into the booths and still piss standing.

        Ah, another person who doesn’t have a penis, who doesn’t understand that when you sit down and compress everything and then stand up, piss goes everywhere.

        Shut up and never speak again on how men should urinate. Unless you’re going to equally advocate that men have appropriate waste disposal tools in bathrooms, such as stand-up urinals.

          You really want to see men’s penis so they can prove they’re male? I can take a picture of you don’t believe me, though, it’s weird, but I’ll do it.
