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?
Be a rebel; stand to shit
“Here’s something you never see… You never see a guy running full speed while taking a shit!” - George Carlin
‘Born to shit, forced to wipe.’
The best is shitting in flowing water for the ol’ aqua deuce. Once got pulled behind a sailboat for an epic one
Please someone introduce the idea of ‘real men shit standing’ or ‘I shit my ground standing’ to toxic masculine MAGA people and make it a thing. 🙏
Here is a fun fact: about half of people stand up to wipe their ass after taking a shit.
And there’s that one guy who catches his shit every time.

Edit: its a podcast! Its not weird shit stuff
I’m not clicking that and I’m glad Lemmy does not have autoplay video.
“What is that? An umbrella? Are you afraid of a little rain? Are you gay? What’s the umbrella for, so you can stick it up your ass?”
I’m ripping off Bill Burr here. Macho men are drooling morons who die at age 54. Why ask them their opinion on anything?
I cant ever recall a time I have questioned, or been questioned, as to why a guy would sit to pee. I sit at home because its more comfortable. I stand at public toilets because the seats are gross
I’ve only been questioned once about sitting to pee… it was after about 10 years of being married. My wife asked one day if I sit while peeing at home, and when I told her that I do she said “I’ve always wondered why there isn’t pee all over our bathrooms”.
This leads me to two questions:
Do you guys often miss while standing and, if you do, not clean up after?
When you’re sitting do you not have an issue with the pee splashing UP the side of the bowl onto the seat? I have this happen often.
Missing isn’t really the issue but the splash is pretty unavoidable when you piss from height.
Do you guys often miss while standing and, if you do, not clean up after?
Yes… and, sadly, not always. Just take a look around a urinal (which shouldn’t be difficult at all to miss) and I don’t think this is just a ‘me’ issue.
When you’re sitting do you not have an issue with the pee splashing UP the side of the bowl onto the seat? I have this happen often.
The biggest issue I typically have is the toilet water is really cold if I accidentally hang down into it, but I normally don’t have a problem with pee hitting the sides of the bowl.

Wow look at mister long dong over here reaching all the way into the water
Yours doesn’t do that? I thought everybody did that because if you submerge it you can pee really quietly.
After 10 years of marriage you haven’t been comfortable to pee with the other still in the bathroom?
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.
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
If the idea of masculinity is getting challenged by sitting down to pee theres a whole shit ton of other more urgent problems mate 😹
A lot of men think it’s manly to never wipe your ass and will shatter if there’s the color pink on anything they own.
I want to hear answers from men who really detest men who sit to pee.
I fear that you will not many of these kinds of people on Lemmy. If you really want a good answer, you’d have to post it somewhere like Twitter or Truth Social.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Like in France, ca va?

Women would use a blue green herb called xiuhquilitl to give their hair a purple/indigo sheen.
That word sounds like someone was found innocent of a crime on account of a shoe
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.

You’re welcome.
I googled that
Did you mean: xiuhcoatl
Is this fire serpent/ weapon of the sun an Aztec dragon?
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.
Edit: it might literally be the main ingredient to make indigo dye
I always sit to pee when I’m at home, mostly so I don’t have to worry about spray/drippage/seat positions, but I also believe that men have this amazing power where we have the ability to stand and pee… and I think the biggest flex you can make when you have amazing power is to only use that power when it makes sense. Restraint is power.
So like having guns to make sure we don’t lose the 2nd ammendment?
No, more like using a pen to write about how important the 2nd amendment is, without actually needing to own a gun first.
But, like, what point do you think I was trying to make? That if I don’t sit down to pee then I won’t be able to pee standing? I’m really confused at your attempt to shoehorn politics into a conversation about piss.
I was being goofy. Of course it doesn’t make sense. Jesus, Lemmy has gotten as bad as reddit. It’s all people ready to fight at the drop of a hat.
Yeah, sorry… someone else had riled me up, and I didn’t do a cache flush before seeing your comment.
More like being responsible with guns so people don’t argue we can’t afford to leave the second amendment unrestrained.
Sitting to pee is normal, standing up is for public bathrooms and in nature.
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.
I always prefer to sit unless I’m in a huge hurry. It’s called a restroom for a reason. I’m going to take a break, browse Lemmy or something, and otherwise “rest”. I’ll return to work when I’m ready.
What really pisses me off is when I hear someone enter another stall to take a standing piss. They rarely put the seat up and always get pee all over everything. If you’re going to stand, use a urinal. There’s nothing more pathetic than being afraid to whip your dick out beside your fellow man, and instead, choose to piss on the place where others want to take a sit.
When I was in medical school, I had to drop a deuce during a break between lectures. While I was in there, performing spectacularly, some other guy came into the restroom (situated just outside the lecture hall) and shouted “Is somebody takin’ a shit in here!?”
and I was just like, “…yeah, where else would I do it?”
But I feel like that guy who openly questioned why someone would shit in a bathroom, is exactly the same type of guy that would question someones masculinity over how they choose to take a piss.
And I suppose he’s a doctor now.
The single greatest take-away I got from medical school, is that some doctors can be incredibly stupid. They’ll examine you, then step out into the hall and google your symptoms. I wish I was being facetious.
Is this still a thing that people get upset about though? Personally I think a man sitting down just to pee is kind of silly, but I certainly wouldn’t make fun or get upset about it. I think the last time I heard someone make a joke about men sitting to pee was like 15 years ago lol
I will say the option to stand up is one of my favorite male privileges, but I’m also aware that such a petty thing to fav probably indicates my lack of perspective. But it is incredibly convenient in gross places and nowhere places.
I only stand in public at urinals.
Having to clean my own bathroom put a stop to the standing at home.
I’m a cis-bi man married to a cis-gay man: I had to tell him to sit his ass on the toilet to piss because the area around the toilet was constantly filthy. I cannot believe still to this day how difficult it was to convince him why it is a good idea to just sit down to piss. If you cannot control the stream direction and shape perfectly when you piss (spoiler alert, you cannot), then sit down where you can spray the toilet bowl.
Why don’t you just grab his dick and show him how to aim?
That was exactly my reasoning when I switched to sitting every time. Sometimes the stream just decides to pick some unpredictable direction to start, if I sit down I’ve got a hemisphere of protection and no need to clean my piss off the floor (or worse, leave that for someone else).
That’s not quite true for everyone. With good hygiene and, if necessary, making sure to roll things loose, you can make sure you pee perfect every time.
At least, I can. And I’m certain I’m not alone in that
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?
I tried this once when I was probably about two or three years old. It did not go well.
I love you
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.
Just a note on the “toxic” thing - when folks talk about “toxic masculinity” they’re generally not talking about men being toxic or claiming that masculinity is always toxic. Toxic masculinity refers to the perversions of masculinity; things like “I must commit violence to defend my honor” or “I must never express ‘soft’ emotions”. Men and masculinity are good things that can and should be celebrated as much as all other identities.
