When i'm tired, and i'm at home, i often pee sitting down. Basically i'm just lazy, and i want to be able to sit down and relax without having to pay attention to where i'm peeing...

I lmost always pee sitting down, keeps the water from splashing all over the place and even if you cant see it it is doing it. So, especially at home I sit and pee

You are what the uber-cosmopolitan Germans refer to as a "sitzspritzer". Not a complimentary descriptive word, commonly used to describe a soft, lazy man. But there are a lot of those in the world, so who's to say its not normal?

Bodily excretion is a very important part of most peoples' life (subconsciencely). If it makes you more confortable, then go for it.

site down if you like who cares

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.

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.

i think youll find that there are 1.3billion muslims across the world. and most pee sitting down!

I don't understand why most of us men pee while standing up.. Its disgusting. Pee splats all over the place and makes a disgusting mess. I completely agree with this being normal, especially in the middle of the night (you don't have to turn on the light!)

When male dogs piss they hike their legs. That's one example of nature showing the difference in male and female. I stand when I piss, unlike you I don't have some repressed fear of my mom, for pissing all over the seat. Urine although foul is sterile, plus just cause you piss sitting down doesn't mean your toilet is cleaner than mine. SO DEFINITELY GUYS WHO SIT WHILE THEY PISS IS LIKE THE FEMALE DOG THAT SQUATS WHEN SHE PISSES AND THAT'S THAT.

y is there some law that says only woman can pee sitten down!
If so I want to see that!

i agree wiv kristina 696969 :D:D:D:D:D:D

You know if his answer is right...the way he thinks...then he needs to start raising his leg when he pisses!! LMAO!!!

i pee seating down especially when I go during the middle of the night.No aiming and no worry about peeing all over the floor while half asleep.just makes sense.

I do it to keep from pissing on the floor. It is also another opportuntiy to read - so the sit-pee posture should be considered intellectual. Women also appreciate it since the seat is down so they don't fall in.

ya thats tottaly normal i pee standing up but i know lots of guys who pee sitting down i dont know how i know that its actually kind of weird that i do but ya ur not weird

i love sitting down to piss, it's great when you have to get up early in the morning, you can just sit there and piss and fall asleep on the john.

girls have 2 sit down all the time, lol

Does this mean you take a SHlT standing up?

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.

Hey, you are too lazy to stand up to use the stalls, that's normal haha.

whos bisness is it tellin u how to pee

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.

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.

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...

i sit

Sit and pee. If you don't agree with this, then you must have never inspected very closely around the rim and floor of a toilet used by multiple standing pee-ers (read:cavemen) It's much more healthy. P.S. Dont sit if you don't have to in public ones. Really, look really closely around a toilet used by these sorts of cavemen, even if they dont miss, it's really a bad habit.

It's normal and not so queer as many would probably assume. I do it after a heavy night's party or sometimes in the mornings.. so i don't pee on myself.
Do what you gotta do..

Yes, it is normal. I sometimes do that when i'm taking a dump and peeing at the same time.

I don't know why in the world you would pee sititng down if you were a guy. I am a girl and if I were a guy, I would take atvantage of my penis and stand while I pee.

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.

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.

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?

I LIKE TO PEE STANDING UP. (and i'm a girl)

What a matter you're discussing about,'peeing sitting down'. So let me tell you some thing then, not bad if you know that in my culture the male people avoid peeing while standing! In my country it's so, as my religion has recommended not to pee while standing, and to do it while sitting or squatting. I know there, they teach the kid when he can stand up, how to pee while standing, but it's not so here. However, I am male and quite healthy, but I don't pee while standing. You should consider that there are many different ways around the world.

Why stand to pee? Why aim? Aiming is for the time when you are distant to your target and can't be close to it, but when you can be close to it, and if you are sane, you prefer being close to your target than aiming to the target, so sit down and be relaxed. One of the names of the place you are doing that in, is rest room! Human body needs resting once in a while and it is better to rest the times we don't do any special task that needs a focus of mind and energy. Peeing is not a job necessarily needs mind and energy, but still we can do it with using mind and energy (aiming and standing). I said when a work can be done without mind and energy too, it is better we save our mind power and energy for those really need them, and rest instead. (Not with one time of peeing, but with many times of peeing it will be something noticeable). And why you waste your time and energy in cleaning bathrooms? You can save it for more useful affairs by reducing the need of bathroom to be cleaned! Urine is sterile when it comes out of a healthy body, but as soon as it enters the outside milieu, the infections will start to appear in it as the time goes, since it is a good circumference for growing septic. And not only if the pee leaks other places it makes dirty, even if the pee is directed into the right place, when standing, its hitting the surface (of toilet water or inside the toilet) with more power and speed (because of the height) causes tiny drops spray in the area and sprinkles the places around, like the bathroom ground, and the clothes and shoes of the one is peeing, and also a lot of microscopic particles of pee will be diffused in the air, that can make pollution and dirty many things. Also when standing, because of the height, the pee flow meets much more air until it meets the surface, and therefore, its vapour will be made in the air (that's the pee smell) and it will be published in the air then. Of course one time of peeing standing can't make this kind of pollution, but with many times of peeing standing, the pollution of the place, air and the toilet seat will become noticeable, and then as a result it demands more times of cleaning which also wastes time and energy.

As for those who say "peeing while standing is much easier than doing it while sitting or squatting", I should say that bending over and pulling down pants, and keeping a part of panties down for a while and aim for a while both need an attempt; and the fact that which one is easier for a person depends on habit. The way in which one's habit is based on, is easier for that one, and to which you habit, it will be easier for you! And as for those who think "peeing while standing is of a few pleasures of a man!", I should say that a man is more valuable than way of peeing places as his pleasure and property! It does not fit a man to consider that as his worth! Men have more valuable special abilities to be mentioned! To my own, peeing while standing is a nasty action, also it does not feet a man's character, that's like you imagine a respectable man standing up still somewhere, his penis is hanging out and his pee line is in front of him, and then shaking the dong at the same position, it doesn't have a nice view. Specially, when a lot of urinals are in a public place in men's washroom, and a row of men have that view together, it's also nasty. I think in men's room, urinals should be in partitions having doors, like the toilets. So I meant its action is nasty. And a nasty action doesn't feet human's character, not only men's. Who made the rule that males MUST stand up while urinating? And don't link it to the nature, potentially many things are natural as an ability; one can bring out a gun, aim and kill, but he has choosing power, although he has the ability, but he may not do it if he is sane; one can just bring it out, aim and pee, but does it mean he can not do it in other ways? Being able to do some thing, doesn't allow doing it anytime and anywhere! You can easily imagine what happens if you use some of your abilities in wrong times or places! So when one can do some thing, s/he rationally has to do it the right time and right place. Now the question is "what's the right use of peeing standing up?" As God has made the ability of peeing while standing easily in guys, it must have an advantage, and yes it has. In men's jobs some times urgent situations happen, and some times they have to do some thing in a short time when the speed is important, and some times men have situations that they can't sit or squat or are in places where sitting or squatting is not easily possible; in such times they can use their ability of peeing while standing easily. But these urgent times just some times happen, not always! Peeing standing is an ability for both men and women of which the right use is in emergency conditions where sitting is impossible or harmful. So both men and women should do stand and pee when it's really needed, and when not needed it is better they sit. So I think there should be a project for men to stop, or to say better, manage peeing while standing. One group are already doing that and their site is: http://www.mapsu.org/ . As I mentioned, there are some occasions when it's needed to pee standing up, then it happens for both men and women! So what should women do? So easy, they can instantly pee standing up using a small device, one is here: http://www.travelmateinfo.com/page002.html .

One problem people usually have is that some of them are afraid of being made fun by other people, I think one should follow anything s/he think it is right. Everyone has an opinion and it's respectful for him/her. And other people's behaviour shouldn't stop anyone having his/her own opinion, other people don't have the right to stop anyone doing anything according to his/her opinion. That's an affect of freedom, and if the freedom of thought exists somewhere, people shouldn't be afraid of how other people think about what they do. And if there's not, then there should be a 'change', if not, then one has to live how other people want, not how s/he wants! I think a rational person shouldn't be afraid of being the target of other peoples closed minds.

So as a conclusion, the best way is to teach your sons to sit as usual, and allow them to stand when needed, and then, you won't need to be in the trouble of teaching them aiming, because when standing is needed it's a situation like the toilet is dirty or there's urinal or there's an outside condition, and then no aiming is required. Anyways, I'm not going to impose this on you, still you can do anyhow you know better, I just brought some reasons why I asked you this although there are much more reasons I didn't mention them here. One more reason I can mention is if your son stands and pees and you have small daughter(s) too, his standing has some affects on his sisters. You know, to grown people it may be no matter what happens, but small children's souls and specially female soul are sensitive and even such things are great issues to them. Her sisters, when they find they can't easily stand and pee, they feel sad when they see their brother pees standing as usual. And small girls never show their sadness in such situations, they hide it from you but they deeply take affect from the matter, and you won't see her crying since she's hiding it. Of course not allowing her to watch her brother pee won't solve the problem, be sure your daughter knows it, you can ask her if you're doubting, remind that you can't follow your daughter everywhere all the time to see when she watches it and when she doesn't! Yes she has accepted the bodily functions but she hasn't accepted why her brother has too pee standing all the time when he can easily sit on the toilet and point down his dong, still if you don't believe you can ask her. Well, it was one of other reasons, and I think it will be great if the current way of peeing of guys in toilets and bathrooms, in the most parts of the world changes. I think if some of the issues like this become reformed, we'll have a better world.

Waytoo long .....

I think it's very normal - when I was younger I used to but my manhood is larger than usual and hits the water if I sat down or my penis rubs against the dang toilet which I hate.
