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?

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.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 3 points 2 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.

[–] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 3 points 3 hours ago

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

No follow-up questions, thanks.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

my passion is jerking off constantly

[–] LunchMoneyThief@links.hackliberty.org 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 23 points 9 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 18 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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 2 points 3 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

[–] arefx@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Because we as men are dumb.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 hours ago

It's just toxic masculinity. Men aren't inherently dumb, but toxic male culture is dumb.

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 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

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

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 hours ago

This is pretty close too. But he's jumping not running.

NSFW mild

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 13 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

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 4 hours ago (1 children)

Tell me something cool about Aztec History, please!

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] eatthecake@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I googled that

Did you mean: xiuhcoatl

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

[–] recapitated@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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 5 hours ago (1 children)

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 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

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 1 hour ago

Like in France, ca va?

[–] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 15 points 12 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.

[–] Voltage@sh.itjust.works -1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Voltage@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

OP wanted an answer without "toxic masculinity" and "insecurity". So, when I did people got scared downvotd. Be no afraid. the answer is toxic masculinity and insecurity. I mean why else would you care how other men shit and piss.

[–] fine_sandy_bottom@lemmy.federate.cc 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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?

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

In German there's an insult: "Sitzpinkler". It means "someone who sits down when peeing". Never heard anyone use it seriously though.

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

I'm surprised to hear German has a word for this, considering that stats I've previously seen show Germany as having the highest proportion of male sitting pee-ers.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 79 points 16 hours ago (11 children)

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.
[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 34 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Real men sit to pee so they don't have to clean their own piss up later.

Whenever I talk about this, some asshat will come along and make a comment about sitting on a tree. No, dumbass, I don't sit to pee on a tree. Or a urinal. I sit to pee on my toilet at home so I can tell you what an idiot you are while I'm pissing just to prove how manly I am.

[–] almar_quigley@lemmy.world 28 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Real men pee however they want and make sure not to leave a mess for the next bathroom user. Standing or sitting has nothing to do with masculinity.

"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?

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 32 points 16 hours ago (7 children)

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 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.

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Ugh, me, with a shy bladder, at intermission during Hamilton.

My eyes were turning yellow at Guns and Ships. Really thought I wouldn't make it. The line at the men's room was huge. Get in. Get to urinal. Can't.

Ugh.

End up leaving with bladder still full and getting back into line to get a stall and finish just in time. Couldn't even get another overpriced beer for the second act.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 1 points 4 minutes ago

Catheter, adult diapers, or dehydrate yourself, haha. I hate places where there two urinals and one stall per 500 people during a 15 minute intermission.

I usually just dehydrate myself a bit if I know the restrooms are essentially out of service.

[–] DougHolland@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Also (sorry, but old guy here) the nozzle sometimes unexpectedly sprays sideways. It's no worry if you're sitting down, but if you're standing up you might've just wet your pants... or the pants of the unlucky schmoe at the neighboring urinal.
