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?

Who care how someone else uses the bathroom.

Your questions.

  1. no. That’s silly. If you are doing #2, you do both sitting.

  2. yes, but decades of practice mean I can stand and pee in nearly any mental state

  3. reasonably clean. I’ve good aim and we clean the floor regularly

  4. to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the women!

I don't know who really makes fun of how other people pee, 12 year olds on the Internet?

Usually I stand, but if need to shit I sit or if it's the middle of the night and I don't want to turn on lights or sometimes I just feel like it.

I clean the mat in front of the toilet every week and clean the toilet every few weeks. I do spot wipes daily.

I had a toilet where the seat just wouldn't stay up. It was just easier to sit. And even when I didn't have this toulet I would sit in the middle of the night to keep the noise down and not have to turn on the light. I called this the "tactical piss".

But guys who are just super against it are weird. Doesn't make you any less of a guy my guy.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Where do these questions even come from? Unless ts a challenge like peeing off a cliff, why would anyone care? Why would it even come up in conversation? Aside from one guy on Lemmy, who even brings it up?

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 0 points 1 hour ago

There is definitely culturally element to it... In American bro culture sitting down to piss is a beta behaviour!

But you have appreciate that this is coming from people who can't wipe their own asses proply and piss all over toilet seats, so there is that.

The opposite of this is being that one kid in your kindergarten that completely drops trow at the urinal.

[-] stringere@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

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

[-] prime_number_314159@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours 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.

[-] olafurp@lemmy.world 6 points 4 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.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Never heard this before...

As a sit pisser, I have no trouble pissing all my pee. That being said, I have heard that problems pissing while sitting is a sign of a swollen prostate and possible cancer. So my stand pissers should pop the occasional squat piss just to check their P-spot health.

[-] JamesStallion@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 hours ago

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.

[-] laranis@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 hours ago

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

Even if it is a bit batty.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 17 points 9 hours ago

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

[-] wildcardology@lemmy.world 7 points 10 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.

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 2 points 8 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.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 7 points 11 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 11 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 4 hours ago

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

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 1 points 13 minutes ago

And you can check the temperature of the inside of the bowl free-hands.

[-] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 3 points 9 hours ago

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

No, that would be weird.

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

my passion is jerking off constantly

Username checks out

[-] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 32 points 17 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 21 points 17 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 4 points 11 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

[-] quafeinum@lemmy.world 1 points 25 seconds ago

If the idea of masculinity is getting challenged by sitting down to pee theres a whole shit ton of other more urgent problems mate 😹
