I don't even piss standing up anymore, but I'm still a firm believer in the concept of "it really isn't that hard to just look before you sit".

    True power comes from not using the power.

    I can stand and piss... but for many reasons I prefer to sit.

    For me the algorithm is "if(wearing_glasses == True and is_brightly_lit == True): stand; else: sit".

    Your variables are already booleans, so you can just write:

    if wearing_glasses and is_brightly_lit

    yes but it makes it clearer to do isWearingGlasses == true

    The compiler/interpreter/etc will convert it to the most efficient implementation regardless of what you the human type. If you're used to the if [boolean] convention use that, if you're used to if [boolean] == true use that, it does not matter except to style commissars.

    Tbh, it's just easier and less messy. I don't gotta focus on aiming, and I don't have to worry about getting griped at for forgetting to put the seat down. Standing is really only a better option if you're in public and in a rush.

    Certain toilets are on the small size for my... equipment. And I periodically find my dongle touching porcelain. This also results in some backspray which is annoying to clean up.

    I've found it easier and less messy to piss standing. But I also got a fancy bidet for my wife's Christmas present years ago. It automates the whole task of opening and closing, does a bit of self-cleaning, and saves us a few bucks on toilet paper month-to-month. So its less of an issue.

    Sometimes I piss too hard or at the wrong angle or something while I'm having a big one while I'm also having a shit and it somehow escapes under the rim and I end up with piss all over the floor. The amount of piss from that Vs micro spray is incomparable.

    This is the exact problem I have with sitting to take a piss and, while I find it more comfortable, I’d prefer not to have to wash myself in the sink after every piss to feel clean again. Standing just cuts out the chance of getting that icy spicy porcelain all up on my wing wang.

    I started doing this over 30 years ago, when I shared a restroom at work with a few women. I kept doing it.

    Where I grew up and live, there are two types of toilets, those designed to be sat upon, and those designed to be stood in front of. Use them as they were designed to be used, and they work better.

    I've only ever seen photos of squat toilets. I imagine that men stand in front of them and piss all over them?

    I wear shorts for most of the year. Using a urinal while wearing shorts, you realise how much piss splashes everywhere. Really not hygienic.
