Why do some men dis other men who sit to pee? (& follow-up questions)

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.

Be a rebel; stand to shit

"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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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 don't shame people for it, but I worked at a place where the screw holding the seat broke and it took a week for a new one to get in to the local hardware shop, so any time someone went in for that week someone would say "better not sit to piss" rather than be helpful because we like to do a little trolling around here

One morning dude comes in clearly rushing cuz he's a little late, runs in, and my coworker says the line. Before he can finish it the guys already in the shitter with the door slammed we hear the zipper he's going so fast and furious, hear his ass hit the seat at speed, as well as him and the seat sliding from the missing bolt and falling into the corner of the room, taking the lid of the reservoir with him

The "GYADDAMIT" as everything in the other room crashed and banged will be with me til I die, it makes me chuckle every time I think of it

Takin up the one stall to pee when there are three urinals open and I gotta blast

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

We will make fun of how you hold a spoon. It doesn't mean anything, were just giving each other shit.

Asks for one group to respond - gets the opposite.

I just do whatever I feel like doing at the time.

I've never heard someone's strong opinion about it. Do guys really diss guys for sitting down?

My girlfriend gave me a hard time about it. I told her I was pro-choice

The King James Bible has the phrase those who "pissith against the wall" several times. In context it's pejorative for the rude class or enemies of King David, but Christians who insist on the KJV struggle to read and understand it, and have taken it as God's own description of male. and therefore pissing standing up isn't just an aspect of masculinity, but it's essence.

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.

Because the toilet touches your ass therefore automatically making you gay, bro. Same reason some men don't wipe their asshole.

I wish I was kidding.

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

No follow-up questions, thanks.

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.

Don't think I've ever heard of someone dissing anyone over this. Sitting is objectively cleaner; micro droplets.

I would never give a damn what others do in a bathroom, aside from: don't make a mess. (Or clean it yourself right then.)

I stand to pee and am observant that I do not make a mess. I aim such that there is no mess and am critical of cleanliness. If I had a miss, I would clean it then and there. I clean my own bathroom every week at least and do not see evidence of failure in my technique.

YMMV and that's ok. Worrying about others is a weird self esteem thing.

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.

They can be fucking annoying. Like we get it, you sit down and think you're somehow superior for being different. Otherwise I take no issue with them.

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.

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!

my passion is jerking off constantly

I just discovered the joys of sitting to pee this past year. I just never thought about it before, and only sat to pee if I had to poop too... though I can't say I ever cared whether someone else sat or stood to pee

But I had two separate fainting spells while standing to pee after getting out of bed (orthostatic hypotension), and almost really hurt myself the second time. Now, I often sit to pee at home because it's just more comfortable (and apparently safer). Live and learn I guess

I’ve not seen that happening.

I’ve only ever seen women and sometimes other men dissing men who stand to pee.

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?

Do whatever the hell you want but don’t dirty my bathroom floor is my mindset.

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

It's 3am and I'm not wearing my glasses or turning on the light.

I sit to pee because my dick is pierced so now I have two pee holes. If i have nothing in, I can plug the hole and stand. Besides that, sometimes I'm not in the mood to stand, sometimes I'm not in the mood to undo my pants and take them down.

-I spend 15 minutes every morning shitting and pissing and then shitting some more, so I stay seated for the entire feature presentation. -I'm groggy every fucjin morning -it's a little dirty and hairy, I try to clean once a week but my back hurts so sometimes I'm just like fuuuuuuuuck that. Sometimes I find piss stains on the underside of the toilet seat and wonder how that got there while I clean it

• eating, sleeping, shitting and farting

Because it's cute how embarrassed they look!

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

I actually can't pee with other people in the room, so public washrooms are a nightmare. But I learned that I can pee real easy in them while I'm sitting down to take a shit. So anytime I'm in one with other people, I just chill in the stall and pretend to take a shit. Might even fiddle with toilet paper after a while and flush just to keep the charade going.

Well, through that I learned that sitting to piss feels waayyyy fucking better. Especially in the middle of the night after crawling out of bed. I'm married, have a kid, and no longer care if people know I sometimes sit to pee.

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 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.

There will always be insecure men (and people in general) who criticize others over nonsense topics that they've convinced themselves is proof they aren't whatever insecure thing they're afraid of being.

I guess it is just kinda "girly" and can seem a bit "whipped" if it is from your SO telling you to do it. I think those are the common instinctive answers.

I want to hear answers from

Sweet summer child. First time?

Because they're afraid the other guys in shop class will call them a p@#$y.

My opinion is if you're worried about how other men go to the bathroom you gay as fuck

This is a joke. Please don't ban me

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?

Clearing both lower ports from a sitting position isn't a problem. The problem is when one feels simultaneous urges to defecate and vomit. I'm fortunate enough for this to be a rare occurrence personally, but I do keep a mop bucket within reach of the toilet.

Years ago a Psych episode had Burton say "all the men's health journals agree" that it's better for your circulation, and I never looked back (nor fact checked).

My wife does the bathroom cleaning while I do other things like the vacuuming and dishes. The first time I had to clean the bathrooms and saw the amount of splatter I never peed standing again in our or any friends' bathrooms. I still have the option of peeing standing in public urinals and in the wild, so no "masculinity" is lost anyway, not that I give sexist bullshit the time of day anyway.

I dis other men who sit when they pee (without shittin) because its “womenly”. Only women sit when they pee. Why are you sitting as a man when you pee? Are you gay?!!.

Aight follw up questions

I don't sit when i pee because it is convenient

When i have to piss while taking a shit i do it sitting because it is convenient

Groggy if i don't have a good nights sleep.

I clean my toilet every week. It is clean enough

Might be weird passion but i want to do cse and help the piracy community.
