I'm not really looking to hear from people who don't think this way, with answers like "insecurity", "toxic masculinity", etc. I want to hear answers from men who really detest men who sit to pee.

Follow-up questions:

  • when you have to piss while shitting, do you stand up turn around and piss on your shit and then sit back down to finish shitting?
  • are you ever groggy in the morning?
  • how clean is your toilet and surrounding floor, and whose job is cleaning it?
  • what are your true passions in life?

Petty reasons, likely cuelty or as a dominance display born of insecurity.

[-] prime_number_314159@lemmy.world 2 points 30 minutes ago

I have made fun of another man for peeing sitting down, but in a manner comparable to making fun of an ugly outfit. The very hidden secret is I sit to pee sometimes too, and I have ugly clothes that I wear sometimes. To answer the other questions:

If I'm already sitting, I'd pee sitting, 100% of the time.

Yes, and that's one reason I would sit to pee.

Not spotless, but it seems normal to me. If there's pee visible anywhere, I wipe it with paper. My wife mops the floor more often than I do.

I don't have a ready answer for this.

I will go ahead and be the only person to honestly engage with the terms of your question.

There is a movement that started a long time ago and continues today to "domesticate" boys. Boys are invariably more disobedient in controlled classrooms and group activities and so they need to be "broken in" and taught how to conform to the requirements of modern life and education. Girls tend to fit into this structure more easily as can be attested by the higher educational outcomes among women in countries that allow them to achieve it.

With this in mind there is a lot of resentment against this "breaking in" process. This metastasizes when boys hear all about how "toxic" they are by virtue of how they were born, how much more trouble they are to deal with etc. The emotional response is to resist all attempts to demasculinize them, even in the case of something as inconsequential as bathroom etiquette.

This is an honest representation of the perspective in question. Don't get all passed off at me for being capable of presenting it.

Sincerely, thanks for being willing to provide a thoughtful response.

Even if it is a bit batty.

[-] olafurp@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

There is an argument for standing to pee since it empties the urethra more completely compared to sitting to pee. This is mostly relevant for 40+ people since they are more likely to have any issues.

Simple trick to shit/sit and pee and still empty everything is to push on the area between dick and butthole.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 14 points 7 hours ago

Sitting to pee is normal, standing up is for public bathrooms and in nature.

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 3 points 6 hours ago

I don't think people really care, lol. Unless they like to learn their friends peeing preferences, they probably have an ulterior motive if they are that interested.

[-] wildcardology@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

I pee sitting down at home because I use a toilet SEAT. It is designed to be used sitting down. Put a urinal in your home if you're too insecure to pee sitting down.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

If I have to poop as well as pee I sit. Who cares what some insecure dude thinks about that?

[-] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 6 points 9 hours ago

I very often sit down to pee, but not exclusively. Some times I feel like standing.

No follow-up questions, thanks.

I sit facing the toilet so that I don't have to turn around to push the flush handle.

[-] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

And you can put your comic and chocolate milk on the little shelf in the back!

[-] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 3 points 7 hours ago

Do you make a beeping noise when you back out of the bathroom after?

[-] LunchMoneyThief@links.hackliberty.org 1 points 28 minutes ago

No, that would be weird.

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

my passion is jerking off constantly

[-] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 32 points 15 hours ago

I don't know who y'all hang out with, but my friends for decades have given each other shit for anything we can possibly think of. It's a form of male bonding.

[-] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 16 hours ago

You're not going to hear from men who actually do this because they don't have a good reason and aren't typically comfortable with the kind of introspection the question demands.

Some people are exclusionary pricks who look for excuses to judge others. They don't have or need a reason. It's bullying.

[-] GottaKnowYourCHKN@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Because the answer is that a lot of men don't want to challenge their idea of masculinity. Women sit down to pee. If man sits to pee, it just challenges their whole idea of masculinity and it's easier to get other men to comform than he introspective

Here is a fun fact: about half of people stand up to wipe their ass after taking a shit.

[-] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

And there's that one guy who catches his shit every time.

Guys who do diss other guys for not peeing standing up have major self esteem issues or insecurities.

I'm a man and I pee sitting down because:

  • it's more comfortable
  • it doesn't splash pee water everywhere all over the toilet bowl and the floor or my pants.
  • can access the toilet paper easier to wipe clean instead of just shaking it and having a wet pee stain on my underwear
  • I have my hands free to use my phone
  • I can also fight anyone that might barge in an try to assault me while I pee without peeing on myself so it's a tactical defense position.

As a man WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU TELLING ME HOW YOU PEE!?! What god damn conversation is going on!?! How the hell did this come up? We don't normally talk about this!

My true passion in life is Aztec history.

[-] Backlog3231@reddthat.com 2 points 10 hours ago

Tell me something cool about Aztec History, please!

[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Women would use a blue green herb called xiuhquilitl to give their hair a purple/indigo sheen.

[-] Backlog3231@reddthat.com 2 points 27 minutes ago
[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 1 points 19 minutes ago

You're welcome.

[-] JamesStallion@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

That word sounds like someone was found innocent of a crime on account of a shoe

[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

That's because you're mispronouncing the -tl at the end. In Nahuatl when a word ends in -tl it becomes like a slushy "S" crossed with a click sound.

[-] eatthecake@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

I googled that

Did you mean: xiuhcoatl

Is this fire serpent/ weapon of the sun an Aztec dragon?

[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 52 minutes ago)

No Xiuhcoatl is a big blue fire snake, a mystical weapon, the animal spirit of the Xiuhtecuhtli, and a metaphor for government/war/dry season.

Xiuh as a prefix can denote fire, turquoise, or years.

Xiuhquilitl is a herb

Edit: it might literally be the main ingredient to make indigo dye

[-] recapitated@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

We don’t normally talk about this!

We should though! We should just not be shit bags about it. Sharing & seeking info rather than having a weird chauvinistic view on how pee exits bodies.

[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

There's nothing chauvinistic about it! I just don't want to know or care about what you do in the bathroom. We're not going to have a conversation about it. JUST WASH YOUR HANDS!

[-] LengAwaits@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

I wiped my ass with a wadded up ball of 25 toilet paper squares for years because no one wanted to tell me about more efficient and effective ways to do it. Bathroom knowledge is like your paycheck. They say you shouldn't talk about it with your peers, but it needs to be talked about.

These days I can clean my whole ass, even on the most explosive days, with less than 10 squares, and I'm saving so much money.

[-] oo1@lemmings.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Like in France, ca va?

[-] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 15 points 18 hours ago

I mostly sit down when I pee because my cat likes to spend quality time when I'm on the toilet and he gets upset if into in the bathroom and don't sit down.

Remember manliness is not caring about how other people define manliness.
