Do you stand or sit when you piss?
 

ok, so its straight to the point...

guys do you stand or sit when you piss?

ladies, im assuming that you all sit, but if its anything else let us know!

ladies, do your bf, partners, husbands stand or sit?

me personally, when im at home, i sit when taking a leak. i do it because of a few reasons, mostly because i hate getting splashed on my clothes. i also dont like shooting and missing, so shooting from point blank gives 100% shooting record! and theres no clean up afterwards

if im out, i do it standing only because im disgusted with public toilets and feel dirty for it too!

so share your pissing preferance...

Weird topic and can't believe I'm answering it but....

I sit at home also. I had a bad circumcision so at times I'll get 2 streams or a stream and a dribbler that will leak onto my pants. In public, I'll stand but practically hug the urinal so that the streaming won't hit my pants. It does on very very rare occasion when I'm not paying attention so I have to use the air dryer, splash water all over me so it looks like I am just a sloppy hand washer or pull my shirt down over it until it dries.... I do try to put a tiny bit of soap on it so as not to smell.

Now I am embarrassed but aw well.

I'm a straight, up-standing citizen. I hate when I'm at a place with urinals that go all the way to the floor though. Those things drive me nuts.

Also, while we are asking questions, I'd like to add a subquestion for the standers: Do you ever rest your forehead against the wall when you are standing at the urinal? I used to do that, especially if I was tired or having a long day, and I was super stoked when I found that the nice restaurant I was in once had little head cushions bolted onto the wall!

I always stand.

I've never even really thought of sitting...

Stand. If home alone, it's in front of the sink.

Stand at urinals of course ... sit at home. I sit because I have been domesticated by the massive amounts of women who I lived with.

No, I don't touch anything at public bathrooms besides the faucet when washing my hands so the short answer to the forehead thing is No.

Pierced. Showerhead. As and when possible (pissable?) i pass my piss while seated.

There are times, though, when i have to use a tube of toilet paper to direct the flow.

[/COLOR]If I ever considered getting a piercing, that just put an end to the idea!

All those who have a sprinkler type effect when peeing should be rounded up, you are part of the problem. You cause this ....

Urinal: Stand.
Western toilet: Stand.
Squat toilet: Stand.
Tree: Stand.

At my first job as a busboy, I would have to clean the men's room at a Texas-style restaurant. How people got the bathroom that dirty without the use of explosives is a mystery to me. Although this is true for almost all jobs, looking straight up and saying, "Today's going to be a bad day," is a hell of a feeling.

OK, I have tried sitting after seeing Larry David do it on Curb Your Enthusiasm. I didn't really find it any more relaxing like David did.

And what the fuck is it with the head leaners on the wall? Public restrooms (especially men's rooms) are the filthiest places on earth. I don't want to come into contact with any more than I have to in there. Not only have I seen people in there with their heads against the wall, I've seen them with both hands and arms supporting their weight like they were afraid of falling in.

One more thing. Why do I always wind up posting in the restroom threads?

Toilet Humor??

Stand unless I also have to do #2.

Now, as to urinals, I like the ones that are actually high enough that I don't have to stand back from them. I don't mind the ones that go to the floor as long as the top of it is above my waist (I'm 6'1") but I hate when the top of the urinal is around mid thigh or lower. I won't use those, I'll go to a stall first.

I've seen my share of odd urinal behavior with respect to arm placement.

• The Superman - Legs wide apart, hands on hips, head to the side
• Relaxing on the Beach - Hands intertwined behind the head
• Secret Service - Hands clasped behing the back
• The Suspect - As mentioned above, legs spread, both hands on the wall
• The Penitent - Head bowed, both hands in front

As for me, I usually do it standing up. When affected by Morning Wood (TM) I've been known to lever down when sitting. Thankfully we've oblong bowls at home or this maneuver would not be possible.

Stand except when it's the middle of the night and I don't want to turn on the lights.

I'm another sitter in the dark. Or when I am very tired. Other than that I will stand. Of course, sometimes I will sit if I am reading a good book and know it will be a long piss (as I get older, these long pisses can become even longer what with the lessened power of the stream - Too Much Information :oogle: )

I remember in the early days, my Lady tried to convince me of the multiple benefits of sitting while peeing at all times, day and night. My thought was, as a man I will stand unless I lose the use of my legs. If I sprinkle when I tinkle I'm a sweetie and wipe the seat, see.

Kramus, isn't your lady a doctor? I'm surprised she would be an advocate for sitting while doing anything, cause the western toilet is very bad for both for posture and for anatomy. Humans evolved to squat while doing the 'do.'

I usually sit, cause I'm embarrassed by the loud splashing sound of my pee hitting the water. But I'll stand when I'm home alone, and I've sworn that when I buy a house, I'm putting in a urinal in the workshop, just cause!

When at home I sit to pee. When ever I am out I hover above any and all toilets. I don't care how clean they seem, nor will I rely on a thin toilet seat cover to protect me.

My man stands to pee where ever he is.

As a yoot, I always sat because there were books to read. As an adult, I just want that piss gone, so I stand, and I would never sit anywhere else but home unless I have to. My personal waste has no odor and I can't see it mingling with you classless gits.

As my library improved, I spent literal hours on the pot. This is why I love Harry Potter.

Didn't realize there were that many men that sat down. No judging here! :)

I always stand. I'm bored when I pee and sitting would be more effort. Plus I usually don't miss.

And you didn't hear it from me but my sister often stands (germophobe) when she pees! Annoyingly messy too. Once when I was staying at her place I couldn't figure out how I kept getting pee on the seat when I could never remember missing. Then I found out it was her!

EDIT/PS: how do so many of you know what strangers are doing in closed stalls....?

I stand up to take a piss. I sit down to take a shit though. I also really cant bare to go take a shit without having something to read. To the point that I have probably got to about 30 seconds from shitting myself while desperately searching for a good, magazne, paper, letter, phone directory - anything...

I usually stand but I'll sit sometimes (morning, after sex, etc.)

I've never understood people who pee with no hands. Eventually you're going to pee on yourself if you aren't holding on to it.

ALWAYS stand. The only time I sit just to pee is if I think I have to poop but end up just ripping a huge fart.

Stay classy, TFP.

Sit at home. Only stand when there's a urinal involved. I just can't deal with the 'splash effect'. Guys, if you've ever peed into a toilet naked, you know what I mean - that stuff is splashing all over your legs, the floor, etc, etc.

In a dirty public restroom, I'll remove a shoe and one pant leg. Then I straddle the toilet. Of coarse, I have learned to grab the toilet paper first, and stuff it into my bra before removing my leg from my pants. If I pee first, then it's hard to straddle + hold pant leg + rip the toilet paper. I also figured out that it defeats the purpose of all this trouble, if I sit down on the toilet to put my pant leg and shoes back on. I have to do it standing up.

Hubby pee's standing up. If I'm lucky, he lets me hold it for him. Don't laugh; it's fun! :D Although he doesn't like it if I squeeze to hard or if I forget to 'tap tap tap' afterwards. And 'drawing circles' is a no-no. He likes to remind me it isn't a toy. WTF?!

Regarding the splash effect...my Pee Sensei tutored me many moons ago that there are certain angles to avoid firing away at, certain toilet surfaces to avoid hitting to reduce splashage (the upper rim and mid-water for example) and certain objects to avoid peeing on (those public odor control pucks) that fire pee out at every direction. And never straight ahead in a urinal, bounces right back at you as one would imagine.

Peeing accurately with a raging boner is always a challenge too.

Gee, that's an awful lot to do just to whiz....
I clean off the seat (women who straddle really need to CLEAN IT UP!), then sit forward. I have yet to catch any diseases on the backs of my thighs. And for those women who think they're not the seat sprayers...yes...you are. Floor too. I tend to be very vocal in a busy restroom when I see piggery.

I always stand too.

The first time I encountered this was in college with my roommate always leaving the seat down. I wasn't in the dorm very much during the week, but whenever I would lift it, it would always be down. It took me a few months to figure out that he must be a sitter. It blew my mind that someone would always sit.

And now I realize why there is always a line at stadiums for the women's bathroom.

finally..someone whos shit doesnt stink!

I sit. I tend to splash a bit even when being very careful as I have about an ounce of metal attached to my bits. :thumbsup:

I wipe off the seat if it's visibly dirty. Otherwise, I couldn't care less.

I like to stand when I pee sometimes, but I really only get the opportunity when I'm in the shower or I'm completely naked.

No No No No NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

You do NOT PEE IN THE SHOWER DAMMIT!!!

Aaaarrrgghhhhh!!!

I had a two cousins I wanted to murder because of this!!! I always wondered why the bathroom would stink after they used them. Incidentally, they were male and female.

Why in heavens would you not use the toilet for what it's for??? I walk in the shower with barefeet for the love god!! I've been known to prepare food in the sink.

Ohhhh ***Skin crawls while I Violently shiver***

After reading this thread I may never use my sink for anything else or use anyone else's shower!!!

ummm..xeryxs...

unless you happen to shower in your sink, i dont see a problem

Urine is sterile.

When I pee in the shower, I pee directly into the flow of water. It's gone within seconds, and I do it at the beginning of the shower, so any odor is long gone by the time the next person goes to take their shower. If my shower smells like anything after I've been in it, it smells like Neutrogena Rainbath. Oh, and everyone in my house knows about it, and they do it too. We're all shower-pee-ers.

**still trying to recover from temporary bout of autism**

While I was in boarding school, some dude had a super sized Gonad because of urine. This dude would not be bothered to aim for the hole in the latrine so when the urine hit the floor and splashed back up he got an infection on Mr. Weener.

That said, I still think all y'all "shower/sink-pee-ers" should be rounded up and off to a detention camp you go!!!

what your friend got was probably epiditimitis (sp?) or maybe a twisted testicle...

urine is sterile, so i dont see how he got an infection from his own urine

that said - floor wastes and sink wastes have what you call p-traps or s-traps that trap odours from coming back up the shaft. odours cant travel through the water in the trap, and hence you get no smell refluxing back.

i pee in the shower all the time..

I stand on my hands.

My man-friend let me take hold of his penis while he was peeing standing up.

I had fun making patterns with the bubbles, and aiming for the cigarette butt,
I had tossed in earlier.

I thought your own urine is sterile to you. Not other people.

My Lady has zero interest in dirty toilets. Less than zero, actually. Few folks out there would have less interest in dirt associated with toilets than she. That said, she feels that a minute spent sitting doing your business is better than a minute spent standing breathing in the stale ammonia smell of someone else's slopped pee, or bathing your lungs in the potential airborne bacteria and fungus that breed because of said sloppage.

Re dirty toilets, I asked her about disease risk from contact because I sometimes have my courting tackle touch the porcelain while seated at public toilets. This always makes me feel ill for the rest of the day but anyway, I asked if that was a real health hazard. She says no, the active bugs in STD's need to have a supporting environment which is not provided by the porcelain of a toilet. You would have to soak your manhood in a bath of infection before the nasty bugs travel up the urethra. I don't feel better about the cold, wet toilet touch from another persons body waste, but I have relaxed and no longer worry about contacting herpes or aids or syphilis from a restroom.
