re: Peeing sitting down/standing up distribution curve

No excuse for a grown man to ever sit down to piss.

If I’m sitting, I’m pooing and peeing. If I’m peeing, I’m standing.

Are you a man who pees while sitting down? The Germans have a word for it: Sitzpinkler. The trend is fairly recent but has swept Germany, thanks in part to the "Toilet Ghost," a device that instructs men to take a seat — in the voice of recent German chancellors for added authority. The main reasons for the trend are hygiene and health — and perhaps also smartphones.

Recently, UK-based pollster YouGov published the results of a 13-country survey of men’s urinating preferences. This map shows the eight countries surveyed in Europe — the others were Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Singapore, and Australia. Of all 13 countries, Germany was the one where most men sat down “every time” to urinate (40%). Add those who do so “most times” (22%), and you get the result shown on the map: nearly two-thirds are Sitzpinkler (without final “s”: the word is both singular and plural).

Give Pee A Chance

I'll stand at public restrooms. I always sit at home or family/friend's houses. Home is relaxing and then there is no splatter.

this. i have my dedicated bathroom in my office. my wife has one in our bedroom bathroom and my teenagers have their own, which we are constantly making them clean all around.

i used to only pee standing up, but i have a condition where if i pee while i'm still groggy or sleepy I pass out (Micturition syncope.) so i got in the habit of my morning pee being sitting down and just generally do it at my own home.

Cursed with the forever double or triple stream. Standing up paints the rim, floors and walls.

Wife (no pics) can never comprehend why I prefer the back porch and roadside to pee.

The only time I sit is in the middle of the night because:

1. I can’t see where I’m peeing
2. It keeps me more asleep

Yup. Don't have to turn on any lights.

Peeing sitting down/standing

---

My Doc told me to sit down to pee.

When i asked why, he said, " because I don't want you to lift anything heavy"

Not sure I've ever sat down to pee except when it was when I sat down to take a dump. Even after sex and I have a semi and know its going to come out in two piss streams, I just squat and get closer to the toilet.

If a man says he has never pissed sitting down I'll say he's a liar.

ONLY due to a false alarm.
