Peeing sitting down
I'm a guy that pees sitting down from time to time, usually at home. In public, I use the urinals. I do it less often nowadays, and actually almost not at all. When I was 8 or so, though, I did it all the time. Is that normal??

Although it is unfortunately widespread, standing to pee in a private home is not normal. Why would anyone choose to splash themselves and the surrounding area with urine when they can simply sit down? Standing while peeing will not make you more of a man, just makes you messy.
I half to pee sitting down after suffering a dog attack, I lost 70 percent of my penis and what was left was twisted and mangled so they had to remove what was left so I could pee and because I would have no way to relieve my self sexually they had to remove my testicles too and now I have to sit peering!
I'm a guy and when you stand up your pee sprinkles some times. Aiming is great but if you aim for the middle of the pond water splashes and hits the feet and that's not cool. I even bank it off the sides of the porclin some times that sort of works. Most times your still sprinkling and not even knowing. If you think about it your making a mini rain cloud over your floor in the bathroom. Try this guys see if I'm right, go bare foot and stand and make sure you pop the lid open for the ladys, stand and pee. Tell me if you feel some sprinkle sprinkle. I stand in public because public restrooms are gross anyways. I just hope to not get any reflect from the urinal. That's why I pee sitting down :) Normal :)
There's nothing abnormal about it if that is what works for you. It definitely keeps your bathroom floor a lot cleaner since pee splatters all around, more than most guys know. Just ask any woman who has to clean the bathroom floor around the toilet on a regular basis. If you're not married, your wife may thank you one day. It's much more sanitary to pee sitting as no pee can get all around the floor. SO, don't feel bad if this is your choice. There's no rule that says just because a man has a penis he has to stand up to pee. :)
I'm a squatter. Always have been. Mommy didn't make me, as a matter of fact she tried to make me stand as did dad. I refused. Sitting is better. Everything drains. I go commando and nothing drips!
I've noticed that the men who SHOUT and scream the most about how "wrong" sitting to pee is are very afraid someone will discover their latency, if you get my drift. They feel they have to over-compensate to fool people into not suspecting them of their true natures...
Dude, it's completely normal. German men sit down to piss at home NOT because they're feminine BUT because it doesn't make a mess with piss splashing everywhere. It's just a thing they do to keep their immaculate houses clean. In public, however, they stand, for hygienic reasons.
for hygienic reasons it is much better to not touch the toilet in public places. There are so many people who are hurting and actually not even aware of the dangers of what they can be doing to others by spreading disease , they can sometimes not even care because of how much they are hurting
It seems that most folks who think it's OK for men to pee sitting down either offer good reasons or ask for heavens' sake why not, while those who think it's not OK are like the last two posters and just say you're weird or not normal -- not particularly compelling arguments. I knew a guy once who had a "bashful bladder" -- an unfortunate condition officially known as paruresis, in which certain muscles involuntarily tighten when others are present, so they can't "go" when others are watching. He wound up staying home a lot, because if he went out to restaurants, bars, clubs, etc., and if he should need to pee (pretty much a certainty at some point), he might find someone else in the rest room, and then he couldn't pee. Going into the stall to sit would allow him to pee and so seemed like a perfectly reasonable solution, but he considered that "unmanly" and refused to do it, even if he was in significant pain. So he just didn't go out. Now THAT'S weird.
Whatever - but just walk into ANY man's public can & you'll see piss all over the place. Its disgusting. And guess who usually gets to clean it up in private homes?
Men splash & miss etc all the time when standing & squirting. Its just weird why they are actually taught to do this.
In a public restroom where urinals are available I will always use those. But at home I almost always sit; I find the pee spatter on the bowl and perhaps elsewhere such as my pants, shoes, or floor isn't worth the cleanup afterwards and I end up feeling more of a slob if I don't get everything in the bowl... it's not worth the hassle and I just prefer to sit at home.
I wish my fella would, am sick of cleaning it off the wall it's totally out of order. Seriously, if you can do it without getting it all over the loo/wall then stand, or clean it. Totally like the idea they have in German apartment blocks, men not allowed to stand 11pm till 7am. If my fella keeps making mess an not cleaning it and waking baby at 5 or 6 am, sooner or later he'll have no choice in the matter!
It is pretty simple. It does not matter wether you pee sitting down or standing up. what matters is your own perception. Men who are sure of them selves pee sitting down or standing up, depending on the circumstance. the men who only pee standing up due to social perception are insecure about them selve, therefore only peeing as to what is perceive by society as being male. people it is a body function it is only abnormal if you think that it matters how you do it , not what you are doing.
When I was about 10 I was feeling weak one day when I was sick and sat down to pee. I've done it on a few other occasions over my life. I find that usually when I poop I pee at the same time while I'm still sitting. It seems I pee after I poop more often than the other way around. These days I keep a bunch of books in my bathroom and like to take a few minutes to read over them when I go, I find that this leads me to sit down just to pee more often than I used to.
Yeah, I think it qualifies as pretty normal.
It's apparently healthier for guys to sit, as it helps the bladder completely drain in that position (knees open, head bent over like you're reading a newspaper on the floor). This helps avoid infection and even cancer.
So all you 'lazy' guys, now you've got a good excuse!
There is nothing wrong with sitting down to pee. Most of all it is more hygenic because you do not splash pee all over the place, that is nasty. Just think of all the little drops that fall on the floor after you have strafed the water ! Yuck ! Use urinals in public if you can avoid making those drops on the floor; who does that anyway ?
I had no idea this many men actually sat to pee! So much faster and easier to go standing up (just whip it out and go). I've never had a problem with splashing; I just aim for the side of the toilet bowl where the water stops.
And I clean the bathrooms at my house, and there isn't piss everywhere...
It beats standing up because you don't have to steady yourself and you don't have to aim. When you've had a few beers it can go anywhere. Also you can do other things at the same time, like read a book, comb your hair or have a shave ! Saves time in the morning when you're getting ready for work.
I didn't realize this was so normal. Pretty sure my husband has never done it though. Can't say I'd complain if he did...less mess to clean up. My main thing against standing up is how much noisier it is. If I were a guy I'd have the shyest bladder ever just because it sounds like a fricken waterfall from that height.
I'm not going to force it but I may encourage this behavior when I start potty training my son.
It's completely normal. I do the same. The pee seems to come out easier when siitng down. When standing up at a urinal, for me at leasr it's just me standing there waiting for minutes until the pee comes out, and then giving up after a few drops. But sitting down works fine. So yes, it is normal, we're all different.
when my bro and I were kids, we had to sit while peeing. It makes less mess for ma to clean. Now, I have 3 boys of my own,(2 from her previous marriage)- they were used to peeing standing up and got it everywhere. A few spankings, sharp words, and months later, they sit and pee, and the toilet area is MUCH cleaner and more sanitary. This is not a bad thing to enforce, plus the chicks dig it when the guy leaves the seat down.
all u gota do is squat over the toilet if your a girl...but why would you want to stand if your a girl? just seems like a unnecessary effort...you'd hav to take ur pants off so u can get your legs around the toilet and hover over it? why would you?...buuuut...i never pee sitting (unless i need to poo) it seems like more of an effort than sitting because you dont need to pull your pants down to stand...but hey i still think its pretty normal dont worry bout it bro
i sit wheni pee at home due mainly to a disability in my back and hips. it relaxes me to where i can pee without pain of standing leaning over the comode. it is much cleaner also when there is no splatter all over the walls or floor. i never have any urine to clean off the walls or floor. as you can see, i am a single man and pride myself on keeping a clean house and bathroom.
men only pee standing because it's a quicker than having to pull the pants down... but as time goes by, we're so used to peeing standing up, that we even pee standing while being nude, but it can be messy.. it's much cleaner if sitting, you almost can't miss... i sometimes sit after waking the middle of the night tired, too tired to stay standing.. almost fell asleep on the toilet a few times, lol
I actually came across a site where 67% of women said that their husbands do pee while sitting down and the others guessed no but were unsure...so yes it seems fairly normal. Here's the site:

I myself, have NOT stood up to pee for eons... But then again, I'm a crossdresser / transvestite and sitting to pee is just being lady-like.
What you do on your own time, and in your own privacy, is YOUR business...TYo thine ownself be true.. You have no oner but yourself to answer to in matters of your topic..

About the dog comment: My dog Buster's old owners broke his arm and it healed that way (the vet said because it doesn't cause him pain and he uses it for balance its worth keeping). But because of this he MUST piss without lifting his leg and he pisses all over his tummy ALL THE TIME. So imagine how sucky it is to clean him everytime. BUT..its not his fault. So if dogs DIDN'T lift their legs they'd end up like my biroonis.
I think the answer lies in why a man chooses to sit down and pee... As far I can tell, there are two reasons, one acceptable and one reprehensible. It is acceptable for a man to sit down while peeing if it's his choice (e.g., to drunk, to lazy, catch up on reading, etc.). It is absolutely unnacceptable for a man to pee sitting down if his mother or his girlfriend require/trained him to.
For those of you that were trained to sit by your mother, there's no hope for you. Good old mom didn't teach you how to pick up after yourself and she made you an inssufferable-pansy-with-mommy-issues. I'll also clearly say that it's completely unnacceptable for a man to piss all over everything and not clean up after himself.
For those of you who's girlfriend make you sit... get rid of her or be her slave for the rest of your life.
For those of you who choose to sit and pee. I don't agree, but at least you have my respect.
For me sitting to pee has become normal. Firstly it is more comfortable. Secondly if I don't sit it will go all over the floor, toilet seat in fact everywhere. The reason for this is because when I was a baby I was circumcised and the doctor who did it kinda rushed it and unfortunately left me with a pee hole which is a bit bigger than I need. That was 40 years ago and in those days medicine was not as advanced as it is now. My pee sometimes it can even jet to the left or right thus wetting the walls. Sitting for me is the safest and cleanest and I still wash my hands. These men who pee and don't wash their hands are disgusting. Women also should wash even though they don't touch it to pee. I have been told I have hypospadias a small under developed penis and balls but they work.
Wow! I always sat, because the sound going Ian the bowl embarrassed me. I don't want to be heard going to the bathroom, as a boy i used a stall but stood. We went in groups and I was way too embaressed about my wasp Dick in school of predominantly blacks or Puerto scans, both had bigger than what I had at 14.
Now older, and low pressure, week stream, I use urinal in public - mostly hoping for a glimpse of someone. But of someone already there... Again to stall. But will stand. At home, any reason to sit, I take advantage of.
I like nothing better than sit down out in the open spread my legs and have a relaxing releasing piss I am an old guy and I have liked this form of pissing since I was a child I love the fresh air and wind blowing against my circumcised beautifulness: I often wondered can women use male urinals if they were caught out no other option
The real question is, is it normal for me to think it's sexy when guys pee sitting down.. because I do. LOL. But I really agree, I think guys should pee sitting down more because they always splash the seat and then we women have to clean it in order for us to sit down. It's really gross :/
I real don't understand the man that say they pee sitting down not because they pee sitting down but because of the reasons they give 1- it splatters when you stand.. How does it splatter i always pee standing up i put the toilet seat up and pee in the bowl not out the bowl how can you miss it. And if it's normal or not wel no if normal is defined as what most people do most men don't pee sitting down.
terrible. horrible. Ladies and Gentlemen you have all got it wrong. Especially the Ladies. It is now an undeniable fact that the flow of urine is Effective when contrasted at levels of significant Pressure difference. As such, even Females will find it healthy to stand and "leak". However, Modern culture paves the way, more to tradition than common sense. Common-sense doesn't survive at the rate at which "sentiment" diminishes "technique" by means of superiority. In other words, people don't care what is good for them. They only worry about what others think about how correct or wrong something is.
In which case, we have to throw a bone to the Ladies. Sit they will. But Men, my Men, it's not healthy to sit and pee. 1. it purports a psychological inferiority meaning comfortat the expense of masculinity.
2. the "pressure difference" or "potential difference" achieved during standing is null when sitting.
3. people forget, time and again, that nature engineered the Human psyche and Human mind/nature to fit certain standards. As such my fellow Human beings, Men will be men and likewise with the Ladies. The endowment in men dictates the inconvenience they may cause if they were "not" careful. if they "were" though, they wouldn't make a mess. I pee standing and I don't believe a single drop of my fluids ever trespassed the contours of the bowl.
sitting is a shameful excuse. standing is the way of the man. he can sit, but at the expense of his masculinity. taking a leak is one of the highlights of a man's activity that actually defines his gender. sitting blurs the boundaries between the significances.
conclusion: for a man to take a leak sitting is a personal excuse for failing to recognize the importance of being patient and observing cleanliness.. it's just a fucking excuse comprende? just own up to this. don't justify you stupid fucked up transgender behaviour.
Of Course MEN Should stand up to Pee, that what their "danglers" (penises) are INTENDED for,
So that back in the Stoneage
(IE BEFORE Toilets were invented)
The Man would be able to pee whilst standing and still be able to keep a lookout for predators such as Sabre Toothed Tigers & Mammoths & other wild animals and if any of those beast came around he could just Stop Peeing & run over to his female companion and his child(I won't call her his "wife" because no one had invented religion and/or Churches where he could have married her, anyway)
Back in those days most men had a favourite tree to urinate against usually in a quiet place away from the main part of the village(s)...this became known as the Lava-TREE which is where we get the modern word Lavatry from.
I LIKE men to urinate whilst standing.
I LIKE to see a nice urine flow
PS Is "Pee" so called because it comes out of a Penis ?
Eh, I posted early on accident. I'll just wrap it up by saying that, no, it's not too out of the ordinary to pee sitting down. (What I'm curious about is if it'll have any negative side effects as far as one's health goes down the line? I only wonder because I read an article about how using toilets for so many years could lead to like a blockage in your... intestines, rectum, or.. idk.. somewhere in all that tubing we've got, 'cause humans were meant to defecate at more of an angle. Like, squatting. Idk, that could be false. Anyway...)
As for whether or not it's normal, it all depends on you, who you're asking, and where you're from. In some families, cultures, or whatever, it might be accepted for guys to sit down while they urinate, but, in others, it's seen as a sign of femininity. While growing up, I was always taught to pee standing up, 'cause that's how the guys in my family do it, so I accepted that as normal, and considered squatting to be a girl's thing. But, now that I've grown up a bit, I don't really see a problem with it. Actually, I'd go as far as to say that it's the more efficient way to pee, as, like someone already stated, you're less likely to dribble, splash, or spray it anywhere (believe me, even if you're trying you're best to aim, it happens from time to tome). On top of that, it's a lot easier, more comfortable, etc. I know a lot of the more macho-driven guys are all like, "wow, only girls piss on the
All the guys in my family do this. (They're tall, so there's more room to miss, okay?) And, seriously, our bathrooms are much nicer for it. I don't know why you'd have to stand to pee. It's not like you don't sit on toilets anyway to do more solid business. (Also, then there are no "default toilet seat position" wars.)
haha yeah i do it every now and then, i don't do it all the time so it doesn't become normal for me and then i can also use it as a little toilet treat, like if you are really boozed up and can't hold on properly, also i wouldn't wanna make it normal because i live in a house with 2 other guy friends and the bathroom door is never closed and they would rip the shit out of me for pissing sitting down, but yeah i do it maybe once a week as a little treat
It doesn't matter what you do... Standing to pee is fine, or sitting. I sit usually every time I need to pee, and only stand up when I'm in public restrooms. Because urinals is faster! Besides, standing up at home gets pee everywhere, soaks clothes, ect. I'd rather save a wash of clothes, and wiping walls and just sit down lol. Bathrooms have "doors" for a reason, it's a private place. Do what makes you feel comfortable. :)
POOPIE
GHOST POOPIE: The kind where you feel the poopie come out, but
there is no poopie in the toilet.
CLEAN POOPIE: The kind where you poopie it out, see it in the
toilet, but there is nothing on the paper.
WET POOPIE: The kind where you wipe your butt 50 times and it
still feels unwiped, so you have to put some toilet paper between your
butt and your underwear so you don't ruin them with a stain.
SECOND WAVE POOPIE: This happens when you're done poopie-ing and
you've pulled your pants up to your knees, and you realize that you
have to poopie some more.
POP-A-VEIN-IN-YOUR-FOREHEAD-POOPIE: The kind where you strain so much
to get it out, you practically have a stroke.
LINCOLN LOG POOPIE: The kind of poopie that is so huge you're
afraid to flush without first breaking it into little pieces
with the toilet brush.
GASSEY POOPIE: It's so noisy, everyone within earshot giggles.
DRINKER POOPIE: The kind of poopie you have the morning after a
night of drinking. It's most noticeable trait is the skid marks
on the bottom of the toilet.
CORN POOPIE: (Self-explanatory)
GEE-I-WISH-I-COULD-POOPIE-POOPIE: The kind where you want to
poopie, but all you do is set on the toilet and fart a few times.
SPINAL TAP POOPIE: This is when it hurts so badly coming out you'd
swear it was leaving you sideways.
WET CHEEKS POOPIE: (The Power Dump). The kind that comes out of
your butt so fast, your butt cheeks get splashed with water.
LIQUID POOPIE: The kind where yellowish-brown liquid shoots out
of your butt and splashes all over the toilet bowl.
MEXICAN POOPIE: It smells so badly your nose burns.
UPPER CLASS POOPIE: The kind of poopie that has no odor.
THE SURPRISE POOPIE: You are not at the toilet because you think you
are about to fart but...oops...a POOPIE!!!
THE DANGLING POOPIE: This poopie refuses to drop into the toilet even
though you know you are done poopie-ing it. You just pray that a shake
or two will cut it loose.
I started doing it after I replaced my toilet seat for one that goes down by it self.. It never gave me enough time.. Now I find it easier in the middle of the night or when I'm drunk...
EXCEPT for the time I had a boner and when I sat my boner pointed at the gap between the toilet seat and the toilet.. I streamed straight out and soaked my undies.. I was laughing...
Am a 60 year old Male and never heard or seen of men sitting down to pee. Not that I observe such things but have been in the military and never once did I witness a man sitting to pee. Recently noticed my roomie always leaves the seat down and never hear the familiar trickling sound. To me it is Feminine and would never consider doing. It is a submissive act and probabably performed mostly by homosexuals.
You couldn't be more wrong. The guys I know who pee sitting are straight and most do it because their wives/girlfriends want them to (though some do because their (single) mothers taught them to, poor guys). I'm a gay man and I love peeing into the bowl or urinal. I love dicks, my own especially, like the sight and love the sound of my urine hitting the water, love not waiting in long lines at events, and a bonus is sometimes a quick flash from the cute guy at the next urinal.
I have peed sitting at home, usually when I was sick or wanted to read or text or talk on the phone. But I don't like having my dick touching the rim or bowl, which is happens sometimes, especially if it is very relaxed or a bit chubbed.
I have to admit I never even considered sitting down to pee, and at one point I may have even joined some of the more judgmental commentators that it would seem somewhat gay to do something like that.
But the logic behind it is really unapproachable, especially for someone who has to clean their own bathrooms. Peeing standing up almost always, no matter how careful you are and aim, leaves some kind of splash back either on the bowl, on you, or on the floor, perhaps all 3. Especially if you did it at 3 in the morning stumbling in half asleep.
If I remember I am going to try this at home from now on. Just to see the difference in not having to clean anything up after every single time I have to pee.
first, to the people talking about peeing everywhere standing up. wtf? it isnt that difficult to aim into a toilet. second. male dogs DO NOT always lift a leg when doing their business. third.guys that talk about being gay or having a little dick because you choose to sit when you piss probably either has a little dick and/or has homosexual feelings they are trying to hide. however, i find it strange to do so in public restrooms.
I wish I could urinate sitting down! I cannot get my bladder to empty when I sit.
IF I get any urine anywhere but in the toilet, I clean it myself. I don't rely on others to clean up after me. This is what I taught my son, and this is what I am teaching my grandsons. Clean up after yourself. Period!
Also, has no one heard of AIMING?
It is normal if that is what you prefer. It definitely isn't abnormal. My father, shortly after he married my mom at the age of 19, made the decision to "sit down" when at home. He made this decision after he realized that when men stand up to pee, they end up splattering urine on the floor around the toilet. He decided that was not just unsanitary but rude to my mother who cleaned the floor.
My husband sits down at home, and other people's homes, but stands up in public restrooms, and for the same reason as my dad: sanitation, cleanliness, and politeness toward other people's homes. I mean, one only has to look at a men's room to see how filthy the urinal areas are.
Every man that has ever stood up to pee in my home has gotten the floor soiled, even if just a little bit. It's just not clean and unless you don't mind urine on your bathroom floor, then maybe it's no big deal.
:)
So weird to me that so many people are saying sitting is the easier, lazier thing to do. To me, it's easier to just unzip, pull it out, aim PROPERLY and pee. Any slight mess, you just give it a quick wipe. Am I the only one who thinks it's more difficult to pee sitting down in most toilets? Where you have to kinda tuck to point in to the bowl?
I am a guy and I sit when doing number 1. It's more hygienic and healthier for men. I really find it disgusting when I see urine on the toilet seat. I wish more guys would sit when pissing, the WCs would be more sanitary.
I started sitting 1) because of hygiene and 2) because my urinal jet flow is rather spread out which makes it hard to aim.
What follows is a description of one of the essential time and effort saving techniques a proper man has in his skillset.
Men do not normally need to sit when urinating as it is generally more efficient/effective/manly to stand, since trousers etc need not be lowered and the task can be approached in the practical and competent manner with which a man deals with his day-to-day business.
However, when a man is feeling lazy he may adopt another approach: sitting facing the wrong way around. Facing the bowl, seated on the front curve of the seat, legs either side and his tallywhacker hanging down into the bowl. In such a way a man may enjoy the 'Lazy Reverse-Seated Position' and relieve himself in a totally relaxed manner, safe in the knowledge that gravity is doing his aiming for him.
This technique is best utilised when a man is tired from his daily trials & tribulations and/or the removal of his lower garments presents no challenge. Picture this: A man interrupted from his restful slumber by a full bladder stumbles to the gentleman's room in need of relief. Since, naturally, he is nude (as it is manly to sleep accordingly) he is conveniently situated to effortlessly adopt the Lazy Reverse-Seated Position and relieve himself in a lazy and comfortable fashion.
Urination in this position offers excellent efficiency and much-needed comfort for tired men. Higher levels of comfort and satisfaction can be reached by leaning forward, resting one's head on one's arms on the cistern, shutting one's eyes and enjoying a snoozy wee.
OK, this has been a hilarious and very fact-ful thread so far. I think many people had good viewpoints. I for one prefer to stand while performing #1, but there have been times when sitting was preferred, like when I had to wake from such a deep sleep, I still wasn't quite sure I was awake, so I sat, also because I was not about to flick any light on, let alone try to balance myself while falling asleep in mid-drain.
Also, the guys talking about the #1 and #2 simultaneously - I never knew that it was a common practice to do one task and then the other back to back. Now I have done #1 and then #2 in that specific order (separately) only because I didn't think #2 was quite ready on arrival to the toilet but then changed my mind as #1 was on post-shake.
Did I lose everyone?
The fact that male dogs hold their legs up to pee is to not get any urine on their bodies, and also to aim for certain spots for territory marking. If they were to sit and pee, they'll likely get urine all over their genitals or get it on their bodies. And if were not normal to say that sitting down to pee for men isn't normal, then does that mean when you poop, you stand to pee first then sit to poop later? Well, I think it's easy to do them both at the same time just by sitting.
anyone that talks like that about a man sitting down to piss must have a small dick because you are all prick.I dont understand why you young guys are so affended about this. Dont you sit to shit and sometimes piss wile you are crapping? Oh you must be one of those guys that piss in the urinal in public before going to the potty to do #2 so no one thinks you are gay right? The things you young guys think make you look manly totaly insucure. Just wate till you get a little older and when your wife calls you in the bedroom and your manlyhood will not come to atention so easy and you have to try to please her with mr softy. You manly men will cry like a baby. By the way when you get a little older and you are married and you leave the seet up in the middle of the night and a little latter you hear a blood curdleing screem that will be your wife falling into the potty and I can tell you that you will never stand and pee in the midle of the night again you will sit like the rest of us or she will turn you into a woman trust me grasshoper.
