I've worked in one of those oldhead machine shops where they deliberately don't have any chairs in the work area because "if you're not standing you're not working." You bet I sat my ass down on the toilet instead of using the urinal.

    No splashback.

    No aiming.

    Sometimes the tip touches the bowl and you feel like you should get tested..... even at home.....

    If you've never had that happen then be glad. But I wonder if you have a big toilet or small pp

    Don't know how the toilets work in your country/neck of the woods, but 'round here there's a good 8-10 inches clearance between the water and my ass. I ain't hung like a fuckin donkey.

    Sit home, stand elsewhere

    Sitter here.

    I have toddlers, twins. They get mesmerised by the laminar flow in the wee and try to grab it.

    I guess before I had kids I would wonder why the kids are present for this event but toddlers are super busy, super active, and super curious. You can be watching them juggle knives in the kitchen or whatever and decide to just take a moment to go wee and slink away and they just kinda teleport to your location and try to grab your wee stream.

    If you're sitting then you have both hands available to fend off curious hands.

    The one trick that I rely on multiple times a day is redirection. "Don't touch daddies wee" translates to "daddies wee is super interesting". However, "Look at this amazing square of toilet paper" is received more or less as stated.

    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.

    I was kind of pressured by my girlfriend to sit, and in the beginning I didn't like it because I felt pressured. However, after sitting for a while, I discovered that it's absolutely the best choice. When you're sitting, you can empty your bladder more. You're comfortable, you're resting, and you don't have to aim. You don't have to do anything. You're just sitting there, emptying your bladder.

    I always hear people say this but I have the opposite. I can sit, pee and finish, then stand up, turn around and magically pee a few cl more :-/

    I've been seeing a girl recently and been trying to sit rather than stand. She owns her own home alone so to me it feels very rude to piss all over the floor and seat, even if its just a drop or two that gets away from the bowl. If i wanna stand so badly I'll just go with her dogs in the yard.

    I pee sitting. I also wipe sitting.

    People who stand to wipe are the real weirdos in my book.

    Sit wiping is for casual easy going wiping.

    If we're getting serious, I'm gonna be standing up and spreading the cheeks with one hand.

    I usually just try to spread cheek on the toilet, using the seat to lock the spread in place

    Depends what I'm doing. Escaping work? Sit. Half asleep? Sit. Just trying to get shit done but I'm having this annoying ass interruption? Stand. Watering the graves of assholes? Stand. Anything else is basically sit. Oh except gross toilets you really don't want to touch.

    Sitting for a midnight piss makes it a lot easier for me to get back to sleep.

    Sitting down takes longer. IMO it also flows more easily if I'm standing. I'll sit if I'm tired, or half-asleep, or whatever. I'll stand most of the time to get it over with faster.

    As a man, I don't justify my choice of peeing positions to anyone. I sit or stand if I want to, and anyone who doesn't like it can fuck off and take their opinions with them.

    I can tell you exactly when I started sitting to pee. The day after I took over the bathroom cleaning chore.
