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.

    Sitting makes me feel like I'm getting dirty. With standing you don't touch the toilet at all and as long as you wipe you stay completely clean (and guys should wipe despite it being common not to).

    Although a urinal is better for standing and should arguably be included in home bathrooms, at least full bathrooms.

      I hate to be the one to tell you this, but if you pee standing up you are absolutely getting pee on the front of your pants every time as a fine mist.

        Shit yeah I already knew that, but it's easy to forget. I'm sure that can be mitigated though. But a mist of fresh piss hitting my pants is still better than sitting my bare ass on a toilet.
