Gentlemen, it is with great displeasure that I must inform you that we're doing it wrong.
Sitting is 10 times better. Easier to pee, no need to aim, no splash so you don't fuck up the bathroom. But I'd use a urinal over any toilet when I'm outside because 1) it's faster 2) I don't want to sit down on a common toilet).

11 0 ReplyI don't want to pull down my pants and don't want to have to do a sitdown and stand up for a pee. Those would be my cons.

We conclude that the sitting posture is the best position for men with urination problems, e.g. due to an enlarged prostate to urinate in, whereas no difference was found in healthy men
Buried near the bottom. Clickbait headline.

13 0 ReplyYeah, a study that compares the benefits of using a toilet vs the benefits of pooping the way East Asians traditionally do (a "hole" on the ground).

I'm a woman now and technically, they didn't say it's wrong for a woman to stand while she pees.
Oops this is Men's Liberation. Sorry. Back to lurking. Good luck, men.
39 0 ReplyThe title should be prepended with the word: Older. Sitting to pee is better for men with prostate issues.
37 0 ReplyI regularly sit down to pee because the toilet in my van has a divider which diverts all the solids to the back and the liquids to a storage tank in the front. Good to know it's also healthy for my prostate.
10 0 ReplyMy bathroom is carpeted. I've sat to pee for years, and now default to it everywhere. Plus, fewer issues with drippage.

I think an elongated seat/toilet makes sitting down much easier and more comfortable. Round seats/toilets really suck for a man.

4 0 ReplyRound seats are best because you can tuck your willy under the seat and there's no chance of it popping up. Also the cool ceramic underside of the toilet seat helps stimulate urine flow

Our new place has a round bowl, rather than swap to an oval toilet I bought a split seat and replaced the full round seat. It helps a lot.

In public I use the urinal or sit down. At home I sit down. Sometimes peeing makes me want to shit anyway even if I wasn't planning to originally.
15 0 ReplyI just enjoy the short break! If I start stressing myself while peeing, where do I stop?!

I don't even sit when I shit
13 0 ReplyCould always just get a litter box. Way more convenient.
13 0 ReplyWhen I'm in a hurry I stand, when I'm chill I sit down - obviously not in public restrooms.
Also German insider: you will find passive aggressive signs for people to sit down to pee in quite some homes.
12 0 ReplyDamn sitzpinklers and their elitist signage

I hate when I need to shit in public and can't find a toilet without actual excrement on the seat. No way in hell am I enduring that just to piss.
8 0 ReplyWhen in your own home, just do it the way god intended: kneeling. (it's really quite nice)

I mean just use a diaper and you can sit to pee anywhere!
7 0 ReplyMy sons were toilet trained by their daycare, for which I am eternally grateful. But they taught my boys to pee standing up, which they probably won't give up until they get phones.
Their accuracy is 95% at best.
4 0 ReplySitting prevents the smartphone from falling into the toilet.
3 0 ReplyI would love to sit down, but my roommate's a nasty mfer and I'd have to wash the seat every time.
2 0 ReplyIronic that the surveys said that older men say down less to pee while it's more beneficial to them.
1 0 ReplySitting down just becomes harder as you get older. Especially with toilets as they are relatively low.
Installing an elevated toilet seat and some handrails next to it can be a significant life improvement for older people.
8 0 ReplyAh that's a good point. I was thinking it'd be the other way around and they'd sit down because it's too much effort to stand
3 0 ReplyAdd an elevated platform for the feet to get the knees up a bit and you have the best of both worlds.
3 0 ReplyA proper throne
