I've been a devoted sitter for a while. If you stand, you are peeing on your floor. Maybe not a lot, maybe not even a perceptible amount on any individual trip, but definitely some, and over time, a lot. I'm of the opinion it's weird to pee on your own floor, and have been enthusiastically lambasted for this on multiple occasions. Some men for example find it unmanly. Which, putting aside for a moment the fact that there is no inherent correlation with manliness and goodness, is bullshit. Unless they stand to pee when pooping, they already pee sitting down on a regular basis. All I'm doing is increasing the frequency of seated micturation.

    You're weird because apparently you don't clean your bathroom floors.

    Sure, microscopic amounts of pee gets on the floor. Then, every couple of weeks you clean your bathroom.

    You know that when you flush a toilet you aerosolize a bit of the contents and they drift out and land around the room too. Does that bother you?

    That’s why you close the lid to flush… That absolutely bothers me, I wear retainers and they clean in a solution on the counter during the day. I don’t want pee on them or my toothbrush!

    Every toilet I've seen has a big air gap under the seat even when the seat is down.

    I'm sorry to tell you this but closing the lid doesn't stop viral aerosol contamination and it's been researched https://www.ajicjournal.org/article/S0196-6553(23)00820-9/fulltext

    I guess I would just say that I feel the acceptable amount for one to pee on their own floor willfully is none. Flushing may present a new issue after the fact, but I can't see a way around flushing. I can however see a way around electing to pee in a sloppy manner because I'm lazy. Though arguably sitting is famously more comfortable than standing, so perhaps impatient would be more accurate than lazy.

    There is one, embrace the sink. Become a sink pisser, it's just like a pissoir which you wash your hands and face in!

    Nobody's talking about willfully peeing on the floor, we're only talking about microscopic amounts of pee mist that could drift away from the stream when you're peeing from 50 cm from the bowl instead of 10 cm from the bowl.

    If you stay seated it’s just your legs that get aerosolized and that’s even easier to wash

    Unless you take a bath / shower immediately after using the toilet, you're then walking around with a thin coating of waste on you all day.

    I just don't want to piss on other peoples floor. Its one thing to piss on my floor and for me to clean it up, its another thing to piss on someone elses floor and expect them to clean it up.

    So, don't piss on other people's floors. Aim better. You can still do that while standing up.

    A lot of short kings don't have this issue.

    If you're a taller dude, not only do you get backsplash on the floor, but on your legs as well.

    You either have to piss straight into the water which is just an obnoxious sound, or you piss on the porcelain and get backsplash.

    If you dont believe me, pour some water into a cup normally, and pour some water into a cup from 30cm higher.

    Totally. Which highlights another aspect of seated superiority: effort. Peeing while seated is absolutely fool proof. Absolutely no focus required. Why concentrate when you can day dream? And it never goes wrong. You're never surprised. Post sex, drunk, in complete darkness, tou never miss, ever.
