[Closed] Chaps. When at home (or in somebody else's), do you do sit down wees?

PMSL

Standing or sitting?

Of late I've taken to sitting down for a wee first thing in a morning because I'm not what you'd call a morning person and after I've just fallen out of bed I'm like I've just had six pints (both mentally and in terms of urinating like a carthorse). I wish I'd thought of it years ago.

We have some German friends , who have fitted a urinal in their toilet.

How does that work? Doesn't it get in the way when you're on solids?

As an aside,

I have a female friend who wees standing up. It's a sight to behold. (TMI?)

Sadly, the older I get, the more I sit down

The older I get, the less efficient sitting down is for emptying my bladder 🙁

dry the tip with paper

Unnecessary in my experience - most people I associate with place a small towel on a small hook somewhere in the bathroom for a chap to dry the end of his chap on.

Men sitting down to piss...

It just does not compute?

Is this thread for real?

It's all a big wind up isn't it? Please, tell me it is?!

There's a couple of blokes at work I suspect of sit down weeing, I think the less of them for it.

For the men on the forum

Do you aim at the water , or just off to the side?

Water = 100% on target but noisy and girls might not approve

Porcelin shots = Stealth weeing , potential misfiring , challenge to get close to the edge without splashdown

[i]Oh my God the shame of a sit down piss[/i]

Yep, women only in my world.

long time ago my Mrs went to see the chippendales in doncaster
The bogs were all full of girls so they went to the gents instead. Was a queue there too, so they waited. One lass decided she was going to get on a urinal like ^ that, but first she had to take off her jumpsuit, so pretty much naked

Bouncer* walked in as she was half way through** 😯 😀

*sadly, not the labrador from neighbours

** Not sure if he was unemasculated "man" enough to carry on next to her

I tend to sit as I haven't mastered how to read email, aim and keep hitting the target (I tend to be laughing at the emails so I'm not standing still)...in that situation it is far more dignified.
However, judging by the state of the toilets in the office, I'm pretty sure everyone else checking their emails and laughing are doing it standing up as the floor appears to be the target for them all!

I have sat down to pee, but only when very very drunk and there was concern that I may shit myself. Otherwise never!

Pissing stood up, either into the toilet, or the sink is bastion of what it is to be male.

So how would you describe those who don't conform? 😉

Losers in the pi$$ing contest?

I have a female friend who wees standing up. It's a sight to behold

I was at a Bon Jovi gig once and the urinal next to me was taken by a young lady who had realised that the queue for the gents was much quicker.

She got a round of applause when she'd finished from the guys in the queue behind her. Didn't wash her hands afterwards though, dirty cow.

> - dry the tip with paper to avoid the dreaded "wet penny" look
1. You can't do that when standing??

Well you can, but it's a little awkward at a urinal.
And even at a pan it takes a fair bit of dexterity to tear off a sheet of bog roll one-handed.

PMSL (at the emasculated blokes above)

What is it that is considered manly (unemasculated?) about lightly sprinkling your trousers in your own piss?

And before anyone denies splashback or misfires, why does pretty much every public urinal have a big puddle of piss under it?

I too was grinning at all the "emasculated" comments.

I sit down when I feel like it, it's just plain easier, requires less concentration, saves on the cleaning and allows surfing/reading of emails/whatever.

I don't feel remotely emasculated by this, fwiw.

Just been for a sit-down wee. Thought there was turtle tail for a second, but I think it was just a brief prolapse before it sucked itself back in. Came down to the fridge for a beer but I thought "**** it..." so I've gone for a Baileys on ice instead. Emasculation is complete.

Only if there is carpet on the floor.

:grimace:

Are you 'sit-downers' mid transition?

Works well when staggering to the loo in the middle of the night.

It had never occurred to me to sit down to piss until one night in my mid-twenties when I staggered to the bog after a long night out, had a wazz, and promptly passed out, smashing my head on the sink on the way down. Massive bump and cut on my forehead didn't help the hangover the next day. I have pretty low blood pressure anyway (still get orthotstatic hypotension) and the combined effect of drinking lots and then peeing out a huge volume of fluid apparently reduced the pressure inside my skin sufficiently to cut off the blood-supply to my brain enough to knock me out cold.

Since then I tend to sit down when I go to the bog after a night on the beers, or first thing in the morning, mostly to avoid passing out and hitting the fittings on the way down.

I just go in the shower like a normal person

Any guy who has stood at a urinal whilst wearing shorts will know why you should never eat your sandwiches off your lap.

A lad I went to university with always had too. He had a Prince Albert fitted (I know this as he showed everyone he could, with regular monotony). An unfortunate side effect was it reduced the directionality somewhat and was more like a sprinkler.

before anyone denies splashback or misfires, why does pretty much every public urinal have a big puddle of piss under it?

Well that's caused by people who stand far enough back to avoid splashback. If you arch your back a little you create a suitable trajectory, and all but the underpowered dregs at the end make it across. The edge of the puddle of piss provides the oche.

I always stand. Often with my hands behind my head, gently swaying from side to side.

I love a sit down wee, it's just so much more relaxing.

And I'm a proper bloke, really hairy and dead good at lifting stuff!!

I sit down at home, because I clean the bathroom. It's not about aim, it's about the fine urine haze that coats everything surrounding the throne (including the pee-er) in piss over a period of time, if regular standing up peeing is carried out. Most revolting. Having come to this realisation, I would also sit down in friends houses too, so long as a cleaning regime was in evidence. It's a respect thing, not a manliness thing.

it's about the fine urine haze

Well I wouldn't go that far. It's pretty good like but fine's a bit much.

I like this: [i]"I'm absolutely fine with my wife mopping up my stale piss, but there's no way I'm doing it!"[/i]

Always stand. At night often clean my teeth at the same time.

Inside - increasingly when upstairs but not down. Mrs THM oddly disconcerted by sitting idea

Outside - always stand in the garden

As an aside, never eat food spilt on your trouser legs. Once you pee at a urinal in shorts and realise the extent of the splash back life is never the same again....

Use tap water you dirty bastard.

On reflection, most of my best work on here is done from a sit down weeing position.

*flushes

Wow.. I'd never even heard of this phenomenon until the last thread on STW..

Where I come from, little boys stop pissing sitting down at the age of 3, and that's where the story ends..

People are freakier than I ever knew!

As yunki say. Where was I when this started? I seemed to have missed the memo/email/public information broadcast.

TBH laziness is a large part of it, why stand when you can take a break? why choose to have to concentrate on aim when you can just take a seat and relax?
As per mintimperial I have low BP and suffer dizzy spells esp after getting out of bed so it's an obvious choice for during the night.
Friends houses I tend to sit aswell.
Since living in my own house and having to do my own cleaning I certainly sit down to pee at home, if your aim is perfect and flow so light that there is no splashback then your are in a tiny, tiny minority, as has been mentioned, how come public bogs have piss puddles everywhere?
I use urinals if they have some, if not then I'll stand,lift the seat (which seems to be a novel concept to many) and aim carefully.
Some blokes obviously don'tGAS as the puddles and piss sprinkled bog seats testify, if you're pissing on the bog seat there's no way you haven't got piss all over your pants you lazy, filthy git.

What's with the emasculated comments? Sounds like people insecure about [i]their own[/i] maculinity.

But why?

I think we all agree that standing up is generally messier and less hygienic - so what's so "manly" about it?

Maybe it's an animal instinct to do with marking territory?
Or perhaps being lightly misted by your own piss was a good way to create your scent? I've seen monkeys rub piss on themselves for that reason.

It's just what we were taught as kids..

Compounded by taking all my adult hygiene regimes from the Hell's Angels book of masculinity..
Sitting down to piss is also quite an unattractive idea for a kid when you don't have an indoor loo
I sort of get the concept, just never heard of it before

I guess the superbugs/antibiotics problem has some unlikely allies

It's just what we were taught as kids..

Having said that a midride wiz stood trailside with a fantastic view of rolling hills/forests/mountains is rather nice.

Depends how long I think I'm gonna be there.

how come public bogs have piss puddles everywhere?

Beer.
