Confession: I sit down to pee!
I got into the habit of peeing sitting down years ago. I'm 6'5 and the toilet seems like a million miles from Mr. Happy. Naturally, the great distance makes for lots of misses and splashes. Rather than clean my mistakes, i void them by dropping trou and enjoying a nice relaxing urination. I only do this at home. If i'm in a restroom i'll use the urinal. It would be cool to have a urinal in my house.

I'm a man that sits to pee, and i sit proudly! :D

2. Good for you.
I do it too sometimes. I'm not tall or anything, sometimes I'm just too damned lazy to stand and aim.

3. Hey, me too
When I'm at college anyway. The dormitory I was in was previously a female dorm, so there were no urinals at all. It always irritated me for some reason, to be sitting in a stall, taking a nice relaxing one, then to have some guy urinate into the toliet next to me. I don't want to hear you urinate. And it's fairly loud too. Plus, guys don't flush urinals at college as a general rule, so it's about ten times worse when everyone is using the same toliet no one is flushing. Ugh.

5. i have a urinal at my house.
My father put it in one day for some reason, I think he got it as a gift as a joke, but determined he was, and in went our very own urinal.

7. Sometimes it's necessary to do so, especially when you wake
up "standing at attention" as it were. No way to get it in the bowl that way unless you're sitting down...

16. Or levitate, or set up some sort of pully/suspension system
There are usually some weird angle things going on though...It's just easier to sit down...

The funny thing is, it took me until I was in my 20's to realize that sitting down is the best way to handle that situation...Before I had this afflatus I used to really struggle to not make a mess...

25. In that case, put your arm against the wall in front of you
then angle your body at about 30-40 degrees, and release slowly.

Anything that makes some guys look effeminate they will run from.

and besides

15. My ex-wife trained me to do so
and now that I'm the only one cleaning up the bathroom I'm glad she did.

19. Same height, same reason
At least in a home toilet...I mean, the bowl's rim is just halfway up my shin and that's a good three inches from the distal portion of my relevant anatomy. :D

30. Also 6' 5", also use the same tactics to prevent a toilet water tsunami
And for those middle-of-the-night visits, or early-morning callings, remaining seated is a great way to not get too awake!

Here's mud in your bladder -- :toast:

35. No, that was in reference to your distance measurement
between said portion of your anatomy and your shinbone.

22. Saw a sign in a studio bathroom
on Aachener Strasse (a denizen of MEN, I was there for a voice-over):

loose translation...

"This lavatory is equipped with a surveillance camera. Anyone observed pissing while standing will be immediately CASTRATED."

24. Fairly persuasive argument there
And a little too close to home right now, given that I just drove a very cramped car as a favor to someone...ouch.

26. They did this on 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'
Larry started sitting down to pee and then fell in and injured his back when his wife left the seat up after getting ill.

Sometimes I sit to pee, and read at the same time

29. As the only female in a houseful of males, THANK YOU!
I wish to GAWD I could get my husband and stepsons to do that! They're all over 6'2" - the tallest is over 6'4" - and my husband especially has a habit of not turning the bathroom light on. Dammit, I fucking HATE stepping in puddles when I walk into the bathroom!!! Sit, for chrissakes! SIT!

Oh, and my husband and I have been discussing putting a urinal into our second bathroom, if we ever have the money to build a second bathroom. 90% of the people in and out of our house are males, so it would make sense for us.
