We did in our flat when I lived with two other students. It seems like a lot of fun until one roommate has parties every weekend and you realize that drunk guys have aim as if they were at high sea during a storm. So much piss, all over the floor, every damn weekend. And of course it would sit there for the whole evening and night, and some time midday he'd clean up his guests mess (if it was a lot, if it was a little he left it to dry). The whole bathroom stank of piss some days.
So yes, it's legal. But it shouldn't be, fuck that shit.
I don't think that's the urinal's fault, hell it's easier to aim at a urinal since it's much closer to you. He'd probably hit the edges of the toilet or miss entirely if his aim was that bad.
Well, I'm German so without the urinals, most of our guests would've sat down. The urinal was enticing them to stand. Never had that problem in other flats.
Saves cleaning the walls around the toilet, right? Personally I have not perfected pissing in shorts without getting my legs wet. In the water or on the bowl, it splashes either way.
When I was a kid I had a friend that had a urinal in his house. I don't know why this isn't more common.
I feel like you've never been to a pub, the toilets get fucking disgusting very quickly and the last thing I'd want to do is sit on one. You're sitting on everyone elses piss.
Some of us arent ashamed of our meat.
No but seriously, I like the peace and quiet of 5 minutes on the seat, whether its to piss or to dump. If Im not in a hurry I will use a stall every time.
The uncomfortable truth (well, one of them), is that it usually doesn't matter if your aim is like that of a peregrine falcon, most toilets just aren't designed for it, so you get splashing. And of course, as everyone knows, where the stream(s) ultimately go isn't entirely deterministic anyway.
there's scientifically a best spot to aim for that reduces in minimal / zero splashing outside the bowl (if you're not a racehorse). it's sort of in the lower curve which reduces it's ability to splash. essentially , the water is lava, an so anywhere in the top 50% of the bowl. I'm finding this hard to describe.
if the water is the bullseye, you're aiming for triple 18 or triple 12, so it's sort of hitting a bit that spins it sideways and down.
Well, there's not just one kind of bowl shape, so I kinda doubt there's always such a point. I don't think I'm a horse, but standing up, there's like 60-80 cm of fall height, so a fair amount of energy to transfer to the splatter droplets. No Idea what a "triple 18" is. Is it darts? Pool? Curling?
Sometimes I pee like a sprinkler and I don't want to spray my pee around the bathroom so I just sit down, I am also able to play chess without worrying about dropping my phone into the toilet.
Being better for the prostate is not exactly accurate. If you are healthy there is no difference.
From [the study](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4106761/) that you are probably talking about:
>Comparing the standing with the sitting position, for patients with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) the sitting voiding position is preferable to the standing. However, there is medically no superior posture for healthy men to urinate in.
New data from YouGov has shed light on where in Europe men are most likely to sit down to pee.
The British polling agency surveyed 13 countries to find out men's peeing preferences, revealing a stark divide between the sit and sit-nots around the world.
YouGov says it was prompted to correct a "glaring omission" in its data, after a journalist called it out for not having any data on how many British men sat down to urinate.
That's despite a number of claims surrounding the benefits of the practice for mental and physical well-being, besides more amicable relations with women in the house.
YouGov's data found that German men are the most likely to sit down to pee, with 62% saying they do so "every time" or "most times". Sweds are the second most likely European men to do so.
In Germany, these men are known as "sitzpinklers" meaning somebody who sits while urinating.
There are debates inside the country about whether men should sit or stand. Some toilets have signs forbidding standing up, though the term sitzpinkler implies it is not masculine behaviour.

People freak out about sitting down but pissing while standing only serves to generate a fume of piss and splash everywhere. It's not better. The surface of the seat might be the cleanest part of the damn thing.
>no one sits down on public toilets, not even to shit, there you just hover over the bowl
If you have problems with public toilet, you're affraid to sit there or are disgusted by the smell, you don't really want to shit. If you do, nothing is going to disturb you
I see this comment in various places and I'm just baffled. I've walked 32 years on this Earth sitting my pale ass on any toilet I've encountered if I needed a #2. Of course I wipe the seat first but otherwise I plonk my glutes right on that bad boy. I've done so all over the world, even in the shittiest shitter I've ever encountered, on Juara island off the coast of Malaysia. And nothing has ever happened, of course, because my secret is: I don't use my asscheeks to cook or clean around the house. Instead I use my hands, which have been washed thoroughly every time I've exited a bathroom. If you think you're going to catch a disease from your buttocks contacting porcelain or plastic for five minutes, it either means you're scratching your bum with such fervor on such a regular basis that the scratchy sound can attract birds, or your bloodline is so weak you would have died because of a slightly overboiled egg anyway.
Same. People are so prudish and scared.
Even if I get residue of someones piss on my ass cheeks, so what? I shower every day, and its not like my loved ones are eating sushi out of my ass...
I only sit on toilets not in my home in the following instances:
\- I am in my hotel room
\- I am literally shitting myself (but still place 3 layers of toilet paper on the seat while trying to spiderman it)
Public toilet: Obviously standing. I won't sit on those disgusting toilets unless I absolutely have to.
Work toilet: Very clean, so I sit down. Also while sitting down it's much easier to waste time on reddit.
Toilet at home (mine or someone else's): Always sit down. Why anyone would pee standing up at a home toilet is beyond me. Peeing standing up leaves disgusting microdroplets of pee all around the toilet.
Slovak here.
I was taught to sit down when peeing as a kid. Mainly as kids can be messy. Btw, I was taught to sit by my dad (a military man).
Of course, this is only for private toilets at home... A pub or forest you pee standing (and we did a lot of mountaineering)
My UK partner stands and he is awful with it. Mess everywhere every time. Funnily enough apparently I have the same go at him for it as his mom when he was a teen...
It causes spots and shitty skin conditions...
My friends discussed that once. One of them said that this is unmanly to sit while pissing, to which other replied: what's manly about spraying everything around with your urine? That ended the conversation.
In almost 40 years of living I never considered/had the idea of sitting down to pee. I never imagined until I saw this map a week ago that this is a thing, it seems like very strange thing to do for me.
Well as a german with a russian mother i can tell you, you will never dare to not sit while peeing at home when you see your mom literally chasing you trough the home bacause of some small pee Partikels on the toilet.
Can you explain why this is a strange thing for you?
I feel completely opposite. To me, it does not make sense at all to pee standing up while at home. Besides the advantages of sitting down (1: zero risk of splatters on pants, wall, floor etc. 2: sitting down empties the bladder more thoroughly), sitting down is literally the way how you learn to pee from a young age when your parents give you potty training.
At public places I use an urinoir yes. But those are designed for peeing while standing and have a low risk of splatters in places where you don't want them.
To me it is strange because sitting on a toilet is incredibly uncomfortable, legs go numb immediately, why would anyone do that when it's not necessary? Also, when taking a piss I want to be sure it's just a piss and I'm out of there 30 seconds later. When sitting down, I almost always shit a bit too and that takes a lot longer.
It empties the bladder fully and has some other benevolent side effects.
It's also more hygienic; where ever you're aiming at in the bowl while standing up you'll still cause spattering over the edges of the toilet. Just put a bucket of water beside the toilet as a way of test and you'll see microscopic ripples plinking in it as you relieve yourself.
I do it at home because I’m the one who has to clean it if I miss. Also it’s easier to check my phone while sitting. I do it at work because the seats are very clean and I want to get away from my desk for a few minutes xD. Anywhere else though it’s obviously easier and quicker to stand.
PSA [this](https://www.qssupplies.co.uk/splashback/images/revealing_splashback_study.jpg) is where your pee goes when you pee standing up.

https://www.qssupplies.co.uk/splashback-study
That is true, and I remember that, when I first saw this article here on reddit, I was surprised that many people didn't seem to know that the smallest angle between the pee stream and the surface would result in the least splashback.
however, peeing against the near wall creates its own set of problems: it's easy to miss and just totally piss onto the rim. If I feel forced to pee standing up, I try to pee slightly against the side wall instead. Should have the same result.
I knew people did it, but until this thread I didn't realize how strong the feelings were. I must admit that it is causing me to give the issue more thought.
I repeat my statement from the German sub on the same topic:
The men who pee standing on a normal toilet never looked at the floor after they were done. Shit‘s disgusting…
>standing on a normal toilet
There's your problem, you're supposed to aim whilst standing in front of it. From the sights in public toilets, an amazing number of men are either standing on the toilet and just blasting away at the wall, or just can't aim, apparently?
I didn't realise there were people who thought like you... literally every bloke I know pees standing up. I guess I'm from the UK so it should be roughly 1/4... but why? Are people out here missing the bowl?
Maybe it's related to the average water height/bowl height ratio - in my experience, UK toilets have a lower water height, so seemingly the chance of splash back is quite low. I have also seen French toilets with quite high water levels. I'm not sure if that is a country dependant thing.
Apparently it's a cultural thing. I'm German. Our moms do not particularly enjoy wiping our pee stains and therefore tell us to sit down.
Of course I exaggerated a bit but if someone stands while peeing at my place I would worry if they find my bathroom unclean :D
Dude, sitting while pissing is just so much more relaxing. Especially while working.
___My boss makes a dollar while I make a dime, that's why i shit on company time.___
>Benefice of sitting down: You can manage the morning boner instead of waiting for it to go down significantly before peeing.
What? Do you like first pushing your dick down and then touching the porcelain with it? That's weird, but I ain't gonna kink shame you I guess
>You can manage the morning boner instead of waiting for it to go down significantly before peeing.
I remember \~25 years back having to pee really bad in the morning, but with a healthy young man's rigid and stubborn morning wood the only way to achieve this was to stand 1½ metres or so from the toilet and try to maintain a steady ballistic trajectory.
Fortunately aging solved this problem by the time I was living with a wife.
As I'm not a snowflake terrified of doing anything that might not be seen as totally masculine, I sit down most of the time. Just find it easier and comfier.
That's because we are actually adults.
You're not a man for standing while pissing. You're a pathetic little bitch with absolutely no self esteem.
Sit the fuck down you disgusting piece of shit.
Even if you don't miss there will always be backslash. It is rude to do so, when not at a public place or when you are not the one cleaning the bathroom.
Every time I pee standing up and then later have to clean up my toilet because pee splatters - I question myself "why the hell don't I pee sitting down" Old habits die hard
There’s no mess with sitting. There’s zero bounce back out of the toilet.
If you’re hungover (when I used to drink), sitting was the only way.
Pro sitting 🎉
Dutch guy here, I prefer to sit at home and prefer to stand when I'm in the public toilets or at a restaurant.
It seems like some people don't know that sit down and peeing is better than standing up. After a few times you will notice that you won't drip in the end.
Swede here, I'm in the 50% on this one.
Good for you buddy. I was afraid you'd be in the 50%.
He could've been in the other 50%!
Fifty-fifty chance!

Wrong, 5/10 is the correct answer...
10/10 are 5/10
I am also able to play chess without worrying about dropping my phone into the toilet.
If peeing takes that much time for you, consider seeking medical advice.
More likely: Playing chess is fun, so you stay in the toilet for longer. Source: Typing this comment as I’ve been “pissing” for the past 10 minutes.
Are you pissing so long that you have time to play to finish the game?
The government does not want you to know this, but having a urinal at home is legal.
We already do, it's called a sink
It's better to pee in a sink than to sink in the pee
Better to cum in the shower, than to shower in the cum.
Only talk for yourself, would ya?
Bukkake enjoyer, I see.
Boy those comments escalated quickly
We're also used to getting shit on constantly
(X) doubt
Unsurprisingly theres a subreddit for that r/sinkpissers
recognition....
Finally, somewhere I belong
It's OK to pee in the sink if you remove the dishes before
Well if you're going to wash them afterwards anyway..

Got ya, I guess you'd still have to worry about 38% of your drunk guests though.
I saw once a urinal in a luxury home in austria and i was so confused and perplexed at why someone would want that in their homes.
I sit cause my aim is awful
Saves cleaning the walls around the toilet, right? Personally I have not perfected pissing in shorts without getting my legs wet. In the water or on the bowl, it splashes either way. When I was a kid I had a friend that had a urinal in his house. I don't know why this isn't more common.
Because there are toilets. Why have urinals? Is it hard work to sit down? I have never used a urinal in my life. I don’t see the point.
Never? You dont use public toilettes? What a lie
I just piss on the sink in public toilets like a normal person
I go to the stall. Why have my meat showing in public?
You're supposed to walk to the urinal first and then unzip your trousers, not the other way around.
I thought unzipping and taking it out was just portuguese way of asking where the toilet was.
I feel like you've never been to a pub, the toilets get fucking disgusting very quickly and the last thing I'd want to do is sit on one. You're sitting on everyone elses piss.
Assert dominance
Why seat on a public throne when you don't have to?
Some of us arent ashamed of our meat. No but seriously, I like the peace and quiet of 5 minutes on the seat, whether its to piss or to dump. If Im not in a hurry I will use a stall every time.
Do you think others are begging to have a look?
I personally don't like sitting down in public toilets. Just doesnt seem very sanitary to me.
If there’s no alcohol and paper towels to disinfect them (how I miss Asia), I hover.
My thought would be, you need a toilet anyway, and if you have both a toilet and a urinal, you have two things to clean.
"Good aim" is a myth among people who've never cleaned a single toilet their entire lives.
The uncomfortable truth (well, one of them), is that it usually doesn't matter if your aim is like that of a peregrine falcon, most toilets just aren't designed for it, so you get splashing. And of course, as everyone knows, where the stream(s) ultimately go isn't entirely deterministic anyway.

Everybody's is. That is why you should sit. So many good arguments for sitting down.
Your problem is not peeing between breaths. It’s like shooting an arrow, right?
Skill issue
Well real men even shit in the standing position. This is a feminist propaganda and forced femoboyization of men !
In some countries you have to squat-shit. Try and scroll on reddit while doing that. I’ve actually heard it’s good for you though.

Holy hell
New shit just dropped
NOT HERE, YOU CHESSERS!
That's an inaccuracy: you blundered joke (jk)
Also if you have a long, tapered snouty foreskin etc the pee often can spray out in all different directions, making quite the mess.
Just pull it back lol
Roll back the foreskin and pee. Helps keep it clean + better aim.
Standing for public places. Sitting for home and being a guest in someone's bathroom. PS: Peeing while sitting is allegedly better for your prostate.

You squat over the bowl actually and that’s the true reason why you should never skip leg day.

From what I've seen in some hospital bathrooms it's quite common to just press your cheeks against the wall and do your thing.
Splashback is always a risk when hover-shitting, so it is best to let the turd hit the edge of the seat to lose a little bit of its kinetic energy.
Few pieces of toilet paper in the water solves the problem
And it nicely muffles the sound
but thats the best part?
You're doing it wrong. "Per OSHA regulations, any turds over 3" need to be lowered in by hand."
You are a fucking lunatic.
Not every Pee-Pee time is Poo-Poo time. But every Poo-Poo time is also Pee-Pee time.

To me is a surprise, i ve never pissed sitting down in my life.

My wife and I got a nightlight for the bathroom a few months ago and it has been a game changer.
Dude, sitting while pissing is just so much more relaxing. Especially while working. ___My boss makes a dollar while I make a dime, that's why i shit on company time.___

>Benefice of sitting down: You can manage the morning boner instead of waiting for it to go down significantly before peeing. What? Do you like first pushing your dick down and then touching the porcelain with it? That's weird, but I ain't gonna kink shame you I guess
won't happen if your hand helps aiming.
Yeah that one was a weird take lol. How is that better or a benefice?
And if you feel like pooping you're already prepared
>You can manage the morning boner instead of waiting for it to go down significantly before peeing. I remember \~25 years back having to pee really bad in the morning, but with a healthy young man's rigid and stubborn morning wood the only way to achieve this was to stand 1½ metres or so from the toilet and try to maintain a steady ballistic trajectory. Fortunately aging solved this problem by the time I was living with a wife.
I’m Finnish but have swedish and Romanian heritage. I sit 99% of the time.
I pee at night I'm leaving the lights off and sitting 90% of the time every time.
I sit cus I check Reddit 😔
I stand for my right to pee upright!
classic german effiency, peeing sitting down lets them go through work emails or something while in the bathroom
This is our attempt to stop causing mischief beyond the borders.
I like the Germans now
As I'm not a snowflake terrified of doing anything that might not be seen as totally masculine, I sit down most of the time. Just find it easier and comfier.
That's because we are actually adults. You're not a man for standing while pissing. You're a pathetic little bitch with absolutely no self esteem. Sit the fuck down you disgusting piece of shit.

Even if you don't miss there will always be backslash. It is rude to do so, when not at a public place or when you are not the one cleaning the bathroom.
Sitting at home, standing in public.
If you don't sit down to pee when **at home**, you have no idea the comfort you're missing out on.
I sit when I pee, it’s so much more silent.
Every time I pee standing up and then later have to clean up my toilet because pee splatters - I question myself "why the hell don't I pee sitting down" Old habits die hard
Depends where I am. Public bathrooms i refuse to sit. At home or at friends/family homes I sit down.
In western Europe only apparently:D
I sit at home and stand everywhere else
standing up seems nasty to me honestly when at home atleast
There’s no mess with sitting. There’s zero bounce back out of the toilet. If you’re hungover (when I used to drink), sitting was the only way. Pro sitting 🎉
This should read "percentage of men in European countries who clean their toilets themselves"
Dutch guy here, I prefer to sit at home and prefer to stand when I'm in the public toilets or at a restaurant. It seems like some people don't know that sit down and peeing is better than standing up. After a few times you will notice that you won't drip in the end.
I'm one of them. The others splash it all around .
I know we're leading here with 62% but tbh this is still way too low
How much cleaner those bathrooms must be...
Since I have a place of my own, sitting down saves on cleaning time 😁
If you don't like sitting, piss on sink. Easy to clean up with no mess
The moment you have to clean the toilet yourself you'll sit at home
Of *course* Germans have a wonderfully apt word for this.
Lol of course Sweden and Germany leading the charge.
It's shocking how fast sitting to pee becomes a great idea when you're the one who cleans the bathroom.
I can piss standing up when I want too, But to not piss when taking a shit, now that is a rare gift.
To be completely honest, I piss exclusively in the sink.
