I've quite recently made a change to sitting down to pee instead of the usual point and shoot and I can't believe I haven't earlier. It's quieter, more comfortable and completely avoids any potential mess from split streams or spraying. Standing does have its place and can be more convenient in certain scenarios but I don't think it should be standard for penis-havers. Do people think it's gay or something?

Thoughts and feelings would be appreciated and will advance the piss discourse of the site.

    Dangers of sitting:

    • If it's cold, it can be a shock to the rear
    • Peepee can touch porcelain bowl, cold/moist/gross
    • Peeing between seat and bowl can happen accidentally and insidiously. Soaked pants/socks + pain to clean up.
    • If not in your own house / have awful housemates, touching gross things like toilet seats

    I say this as a dedicated sit-downer wherever possible. I find it preferable, but when you're groggily wiping a pool of pee off the floor at 1am, you realise it's not a promised pee land.

      This one is a big bummer when it happens, but as you say it's still worth defaulting to sitting.

        Oh gosh, I've never had that, but I will quickly be paranoid now.
