I discovered that grown men pee sitting down about seven years ago when I made friends with a German guy who had a sign over his toilet that had two symbols- a guy standing up with a circle and a line through it, and a guy sitting down with a check mark next to it. He said it was fairly common in Germany to sit to pee. I was still skeptical and surprised. I see the point- no mess. But it's so inefficient to pull your pants down, sit, pee, stand up, pull your pants up. And what if you have a really full bladder and it comes out at 100mph? You're bound to get splashback all over your arse, balls and upper thighs. Gross. It's easier and faster to put up the seat, whip it out, pee, put down the seat and zip up. The only way I sit is if I have the morning wood and it won't go away after a few minutes of laying in bed. Then I have to do the sit-jack-knife (ThanksMT).
I sit down when I piss at home 100% of the time. It's just easier. I started this about 4 years ago and have been doing it since. In public though, I stand 100% of the time.
In public, standing up. I think that goes without saying. Even when I drop a deuce I put the seat up and get in the sitting position w/out touching the seat. Suffice it to say, I now have thighs of steel. At home, mostly standing up. Sitting down in the middle of the night, because I'm still blurry eyed and keep my eyes shut as much as possible.
You are correct in how you said the kidney stones are formed. But whenever you pee one of the functions of pissing is to remove these excess ions. When sitting down you exert a lot more pressure which flushes your urethra out more as opposed to a weaker stream when standing up. The kidney stones develop from the excess ions building up and crystallizing. Try peeing sitting down once and youll notice how much more pressure is exerted and how quicker your pee comes out. I personally pee standing up because I'm not going to worry about that until it becomes a problem. My source is my uncle who had kidney stones and would always tell me to pee sitting down to avoid getting them. He always pees sitting down now, I don't know if that's doctor's orders or just him but everything I've mentioned is very logical.
Well...if I'm feeling super lazy I sit down. I don't know if this is weird but whenever I have to piss a raging one I try to see how far I can pee away from the toilet and still make it in the bowl..is it weird?
This is somewhat of a culture thing as well. Same as wiping with toilet paper or cleaning with water. People do it different ways and how they've learned as a kid but they all get the job done.
Wow this has turned into a classic thread! Just the sheer ineptitude of men attempting to perform the most basic of manly tasks is quite humorous. Personally I find it highly gratifying to take a piss outdoors near some bushes or even the occasional watering the lawn with my man brew! Too bad the sitting crowd is unable to enjoy these finer moments of life.
The only time I will pee sitting down is when it's the middle of the night and I don't want to turn on the lights and blind myself. I call it sleep pissing.
All those sitting down to pee when at home or in the mornings at home while dealing with "our" morning situation, do none of you ever take a knee? I don't do sitting down except its for a deuce-ANYWHERE, ain't no need to sit down and pee, but, while at home I usually take a knee like in football practice and then let it rain. Avoids splashage and any other situations. I guess it may also depend on how clean your bathroom is.
Just...can't...bring...myself to. Must....resist.. sitting...to pee!! It makes me feel like i'm back on the football field listening to my coach berating us. Nothing like reliving those HS days, alright alright alright!
Yeah, I'm not buying it. Once the calcium is in the bladder/urethra, it has no effect on what's going on in the kidney. The force with which the urine is expelled is irrelevant.
Obligatory "my junk would get wet if I pee'd sitting down, so I stand up" post. Can't believe no one else came up with that in 4th pages. Where is our 7th grade humor?
Ever since I injured my knee I've always sat since it is more comfortable. If I'm in public I'll stand.
<br> Exactly. Those of you who wipe without at least standing up somewhat, how the heck do you even get your hand there? That's gotta be awkward feeling...
<br> And this. Why the heck would anyone actually want to use water? I know the religous/cultural reasons. But seriously, wtf? Talk about splash back....
