Men: how often do you sit down just to make pee-pee?
How often do you find yourself sitting down just to urinate? You can give a percentage or times per day/week/month.
When you do sit down, why are you compelled to do so?
Where are you when you sit down (home, public restroom, work…)?
What are the pros and cons of sitting down vs. standing up?
Ladies, I know you’re here: What do you think about this? Should men sit down or stand up more?

My husband sits down occasionally. I actually prefer it, because he is less likely to leave a few drops on the seat, which he tends not to raise when he stands up.
I sit down sometimes when I’m in my pajamas (no unbuckling or unzipping required). Sitting down creates less splashing and I can just be too lazy to stand.
I also try to sit down when we have guests over. I’d be embarrassed if they could hear the splashing.
Mr. Fiance sits all the time; I don’t know why. I prefer it, because like @marinelife said, it makes cleaning easier, and often it’s quieter (the bathroom is next to the bedroom).
It’s a cultural thing. My best friend who was raised in Qatar and Pakistan mostly sits down to pee. My partner, raised in Illinois, generally stands and pees. My children (who have penises) are 50%/50%.
My ex used to sit down whenever he was tired (like for a middle of the night pee run). I don’t mind it, either way. As long as they’re neat.
At home, or in someone else’s home, always. When I pee standing with shorts on, I can feel the occasional little splatter drops hitting my bare legs. That tells me that a whole lot more of those little drops are landing on the floor (and on my clothes when I’m not wearing shorts). It’s not a matter of poor aiming or stray dribbles; it’s splashing up from the toilet bowl. Sitting just keeps everything cleaner.
In public restrooms, never.
Depends. If I’ve been holding it for a long time, then I must sit because the pressure of the piss would be strong and I would spray everywhere. I also sit if I have a boner and I need to piss.
I never sit at public restrooms like @thorninmud. I like to think of them as target practice.
My SO does it. It kind of freaks me out.
If its 2am or im really drunk I sit to avoid pee on like the wall or something lol. Also when im having a long ass day or something Ill sit just for an excuse to sit :P
I don’t think I ever have. But then again, I rarely pee inside…
Erich..I think you are lagging in creativity this morning. lol
Whatever floats someones boat, toilet moments are private, sit, stand, stand on your head, hang from the shower curtain…whatever works for you.
Gee! I never thought men would admit to sitting down to pee.:p
I don’t think I’ve ever seen my hubby sit down to pee (unless he’s already sitting for the other reason). I would actually prefer it if men DID sit down to pee, for the same reason other women have given- it’s cleaner/neater.
@Coloma Well sometimes I stand while doing #2. How’s that for creativity?
@erichw1504 You and my 6 year both (stand while doing #2). Actually, he sort of crouches on the toilet seat. I think he should be living in Japan—because that’s how Japanese bathrooms work.
FWIW, I can’t believe no one has referenced THIS during this thread yet.
A male friend kneels when he pees, at least in private. I haven’t walked in on him when he is in a public restroom, but I doubt he does it there. I’m curious if this is a one-off, or if other males do it.
Like once every 5 years lol.
@erichw1504
I think you might have a fallback career in poop fetish videos. lol
Could I propose an experiment? Before peeing, grab some TP and wipe the rim of the toilet bowl. Now pee standing up, aiming carefully. Now bend down and look carefully at the rim of the bowl. Now ask yourself how much of that same stuff is on your shoes and the floor.
@thorninmud I always wondered why my socks turned yellow afterwards.
Very rare. I pee sitting only when forced to like in a hospital stay or being stuck in traffic. Sitting is a submissive posture.
I’d like to know why men stand. Someone above said that he sits occasionally but never in a public restroom, and in the link that @geeky_mama posted sitting is portrayed as girly. Why is it “unmanly” to sit?
@Seelix – btw, I just thought the Oatmeal is funny, I don’t necessarily agree with the idea that it’s “unmanly” to sit.
As I alluded to above, there are many many places in the world where NO ONE sits to go to the bathroom. THAT is what I’m used to. I grew up (teen years and again after college) in Japan. Most of Asia uses a different kind of toilet than Western-style. EVERYONE stand/squats irregardless of gender.
They find it far more sanitary (esp. for public restrooms) because no part of you ever touches the toilet.
FWIW, many newer Japanese homes now have a western style (sit down) toilet—the idea being you can relax and sit down there..and it’s just your family that’s using it..
@Seelix Cause girls do, and girls have cooties. Yuck!
@geeky_mama – Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that you meant that. And yeah, I spent a little time in Japan as well – their toilets are tough to get used to, especially after one too many cups of sake ;)
If I sat, my pee pee would be submerged in toilet water.
I will sit to uninate about 50–60% of the time. This is usually due to my less than stellar aim, and my wife complains about me missing when I pee standing up. In public bathrooms, I usually pee standing, unless I am already seated for a #2. In other people’s homes, I will urinate sitting down as well. Also, there are times when I wind up using a bathroom for the opposite gender; usually when a one seater men’s room is occupied I do that out of courtesy. There is nothing submissive or feminine about urinating sitting down. I almost prefer to sit to urinate, because I get off my feet for the 30–60 seconds. I am also on a diuretic, which very often produces some heavy pee streams, and I do better seated when that is the case. I always pee seated when I am already doing a #2.
Men sharing a toilet with a woman should sit down unless they are the ones who clean the inside/outside of the bowl and also the floors.
When I go #3, I stand on the toilet.
Make pee-pee?
Nu-nu wa-wa?
sheesh!
I sit down all the time.
I’m 54 friggin’ years old.
I don’t feel like playing FIRE MAN!
Besides…who’s business is it anyway whether I sit or stand?
Make pee-pee…sheesh…!
It seems more females responded ^^
I will take notice and number them and reply later how many times of each.
How am I supposed to cross the streams sitting down?
@Pied_Pfeffer – how does the kneeling work? I just went to the bathroom, kneeled in front of the toilet and the toilet is essentially right there. Like I’m peeing into a sink. Am I misunderstanding? Is your friend extremely long of thigh?
Public? I stand.
Private? I sit. Or use the sink. :P
@FutureMemory I don’t know if you are joking or not, but our hotel company’s complaint dept. received a comment card from a guest addressing that a particular hotel’s toilets were too shallow. He stated that his private parts dipped into the water when he sat. It got posted on the “Best of the Bizarre” board in their office.
@funkdaddy He is about 5’4”, but he does have a long stride, so maybe it is in the thigh leg length. I didn’t look that closely, but have seen it in action more than once. I’d ask him if I could videotape his technique, but can guarantee you that he wouldn’t go for it.
A million times. I’m not a guy.
The idea of sitting down to pee has never occurred to me, I have never done it.
I’m lazy I don’t enjoy constantly mopping up pee off the floor. Sitting is cleaner and saves you time and effort. So as long as it isn’t a public toilet, sitting is smart.
Fact: not urinating from here to kingdom come, can get you laid.
Never, it’s a question of practicality for one thing. If I sat down my dick would be half way around the U-bend man! Us “big fellas” need the space to work…ya nah worra mean like?
Ok now I’m slightly annoyed. How do you “large” fellows take shits? Listen, I am big myself and yes there are toilets that you have to hold yourself up and out of the water for, but not that often. Come on, don’t be lame. “I have a big cock” is no excuse, unless you keep hitting a woman’s cervix accidentally.Sorry for that ladies.
I hope you can somehow find it in your heart to forgive me, @everephebe
If I’m in someone’s home other than my own, I sit so as not to sprinkle…

@noelleptc – your early works such as ”Sit or Stand – an Illustrated Guide for the Modern Gentleman” and ”Droppin’ Trou – Portrait of a Sitter” are some of the my favorite primers on the subject.
It seemed only right that you should participate.
I only sit down to pee when I also have to poop.
Okay, same response, right question this time!: :P
I sit down to pee every now and then. No shame in it. No one’s a “sissy” for doing it, despite what some people think. There was one period in high school where I got into the habit of it and would do it almost every time. Now it’s just every now and then, usually when I’m tired or just feel like being cleaner about it. But now that I share a bathroom with two other guys who aren’t all that clean, it’s just kinda gross…of course if everyone sat down there wouldn’t be a problem…now that’s starting to sound like my mom…
Almost never. It’s just too much work to drop trou and sit and get back up and put myself back together. A lot of times I’m in a rush and want to get it over with, pronto. Of course it’s a 2 -fer when I need to dump out.
Did @everephebe say he has a big cock? Can’t focus. Drool. Heart attack.
If I have to choose between standing and sitting, sitting will always win. I am not ashamed.
