Rules (interactive)

That's it.

I'm not really looking to hear from people who don't think this way, with answers like "insecurity", "toxic masculinity", etc. I want to hear answers from men who really detest men who sit to pee.

Follow-up questions:

  • when you have to piss while shitting, do you stand up turn around and piss on your shit and then sit back down to finish shitting?
  • are you ever groggy in the morning?
  • how clean is your toilet and surrounding floor, and whose job is cleaning it?
  • what are your true passions in life?

I will go ahead and be the only person to honestly engage with the terms of your question.

There is a movement that started a long time ago and continues today to "domesticate" boys. Boys are invariably more disobedient in controlled classrooms and group activities and so they need to be "broken in" and taught how to conform to the requirements of modern life and education. Girls tend to fit into this structure more easily as can be attested by the higher educational outcomes among women in countries that allow them to achieve it.

With this in mind there is a lot of resentment against this "breaking in" process. This metastasizes when boys hear all about how "toxic" they are by virtue of how they were born, how much more trouble they are to deal with etc. The emotional response is to resist all attempts to demasculinize them, even in the case of something as inconsequential as bathroom etiquette.

This is an honest representation of the perspective in question. Don't get all passed off at me for being capable of presenting it.

Sincerely, thanks for being willing to provide a thoughtful response.

Even if it is a bit batty.

I fear that you will not many of these kinds of people on Lemmy. If you really want a good answer, you'd have to post it somewhere like Twitter or Truth Social.

I sit to pee because my dick is pierced so now I have two pee holes. If i have nothing in, I can plug the hole and stand. Besides that, sometimes I'm not in the mood to stand, sometimes I'm not in the mood to undo my pants and take them down.

-I spend 15 minutes every morning shitting and pissing and then shitting some more, so I stay seated for the entire feature presentation. -I'm groggy every fucjin morning -it's a little dirty and hairy, I try to clean once a week but my back hurts so sometimes I'm just like fuuuuuuuuck that. Sometimes I find piss stains on the underside of the toilet seat and wonder how that got there while I clean it

  • eating, sleeping, shitting and farting

I mostly sit down when I pee because my cat likes to spend quality time when I'm on the toilet and he gets upset if into in the bathroom and don't sit down.

Remember manliness is not caring about how other people define manliness.

I always sit to pee when I'm at home, mostly so I don't have to worry about spray/drippage/seat positions, but I also believe that men have this amazing power where we have the ability to stand and pee... and I think the biggest flex you can make when you have amazing power is to only use that power when it makes sense. Restraint is power.

The opposite of this is being that one kid in your kindergarten that completely drops trow at the urinal.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

If I have to poop as well as pee I sit. Who cares what some insecure dude thinks about that?

[–] sramder@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I’m afraid I really have no answers for you… but then again I don’t think I’m your survey pool.

But I did once stay at a small hotel in Germany that had a sticker imploring male guess to sit and pee. I pissed all over that poor toilet before we left.

15 years later I feal guilt but also righteous indignation. I really hate being told what to do apparently… even when there are good reasons like another human being, asking you to not make their life hard 😞

I pee sitting down at home because I use a toilet SEAT. It is designed to be used sitting down. Put a urinal in your home if you're too insecure to pee sitting down.

[–] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 6 points 3 days ago

I very often sit down to pee, but not exclusively. Some times I feel like standing.

No follow-up questions, thanks.

[–] raptore39@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

My wife does the bathroom cleaning while I do other things like the vacuuming and dishes. The first time I had to clean the bathrooms and saw the amount of splatter I never peed standing again in our or any friends' bathrooms. I still have the option of peeing standing in public urinals and in the wild, so no "masculinity" is lost anyway, not that I give sexist bullshit the time of day anyway.

when you have to piss while shitting, do you stand up turn around and piss on your shit and then sit back down to finish shitting?

I tried this once when I was probably about two or three years old. It did not go well.

I guess it is just kinda "girly" and can seem a bit "whipped" if it is from your SO telling you to do it. I think those are the common instinctive answers.

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 days ago

I don't shame people for it, but I worked at a place where the screw holding the seat broke and it took a week for a new one to get in to the local hardware shop, so any time someone went in for that week someone would say "better not sit to piss" rather than be helpful because we like to do a little trolling around here

One morning dude comes in clearly rushing cuz he's a little late, runs in, and my coworker says the line. Before he can finish it the guys already in the shitter with the door slammed we hear the zipper he's going so fast and furious, hear his ass hit the seat at speed, as well as him and the seat sliding from the missing bolt and falling into the corner of the room, taking the lid of the reservoir with him

The "GYADDAMIT" as everything in the other room crashed and banged will be with me til I die, it makes me chuckle every time I think of it

[–] fine_sandy_bottom@lemmy.federate.cc 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I just do whatever I feel like doing at the time.

I've never heard someone's strong opinion about it. Do guys really diss guys for sitting down?

Is this still a thing that people get upset about though? Personally I think a man sitting down just to pee is kind of silly, but I certainly wouldn't make fun or get upset about it. I think the last time I heard someone make a joke about men sitting to pee was like 15 years ago lol
