To ask why men have to wee standing up?

[AngeloMysterioso]

Why? Just why?

Fair enough if all they have is a urinal or a tree at their disposal, but if they’re in a bathroom with a toilet, why do they have to stand up?

My DS1 was doing absolutely fine sitting on his little clip in loo seat thing and just pointing his willy down, until my FIL in all his wisdom decided to teach him the joys of a stand up wee, and now I am constantly having to clean up puddles of piss on the floor from when he misses.

Why????????

My husband and now grown sons dont lleave even a drip.
Its gross laziness for men that leave puddles.

Fainting at night:

Micturition syncope, also known as post-micturition syncope, is fainting while urinating or immediately after urinating. This is likely due to a sudden, severe drop in blood pressure. Micturition syncope is most common in older men. It happens most often when getting up at night from a deep sleep.

A lot of muslim men not only sit but hold a piece of toilet paper to catch any splashes.

Start by helping your son clean his own pee up.
Teach him from an early age that he doesn't get to walk away from that and someone else will clean it up.

I wish they would sit down. Baby woke at 5:20 and I went to the loo only to stand in a Puddle of piss that my 'D'H left for me. Fucking disgusting. And now I can stop wondering why the bathroom stinks so much despite me cleaning it a normal amount.

Both my husbands and all their families pee sitting down unless in urinals. So it depends on the family.

Both your husbands?

In amongst the oceans of misogyny that surround us, that does rather sound like we may have also found some misandry there to go with it.

Would be very interesting to do a study on men who love loud cars, regularly tailgate and stand to pee though.

Why would you seek to correlate two deliberately antisocial behaviours with one standard everyday male function? I completely agree that men who make a mess should clean it up themselves (as should women who hover over a clean toilet and then leave it not clean), but they really aren't weeing standing up just to upset or steal a march on women.

You may just as well do some kind of study on people who shoplift, fight in the street and eat sandwiches - not sure what you'd hope to prove.

Well, typically when a bloke sits down on the toilet he will make sure his penis is tucked between his legs and pointing downwards into the bowl thus avoiding the risk of pissing all over the seat and/or on to his trousers. Occasionally, depending on the toilet design (height of seat from porcelain etc) there is a risk of his penis touching said porcelain. Not a massive issue when using the bathroom at home where some kind of cleanliness is assured but pretty gross when on a public toilet.

Surprised this needs to be explained.

It needs explained to me and I've got one. I don't touch it on random things. Sure it could happen, but if it's happening repeatedly?

I will reiterate that "I can't sit down to piss because my dick will touch the porcelain" is ridiculous, does he stand to shit as well?

Because going out of your way to act like a dick and not having a big one do seem to have correlation. The desperate need to wave it in people's faces all day in an aggressive way screams of a lack.

Poverty and needing to steal food isn't the same, for example.

My husband says this too. Reminds me of the joke about the bloke who had several wee holes on his penis getting himself into trouble by spraying all the other occupants of the gents. One kind fellow offered to help. "Are you a doctor, can you operate on it? " No, I'm a musician, I can teach you how to hold it"

Amazed at the number of women who seem to know exactly how their husbands go to the toilet. I have no idea. It's never occurred to me to ask. I don't especially want to know.

Also amazed at how many women seem to have to navigate puddles of piss all the time. I've lived in multiple houseshares with many different men, plus now DP, and they've all managed to keep the toilets in decent condition.

There are plenty of dickheads out there for sure but quite how you know that they actually have small dicks beyond it being a common put down I have no idea.

Same here, 3 boys and friends, DH, DP and so many other men. Never an issue. So the problem is NOT standing up, it is being disgusting and not taking care, and checking and clearing up if ...

Totally natural for men to stand up and pee. Not making a mess for someone else to clear up.

That's why I think we should have a study. A lot of people (men and women) think this way, so it would be interesting to see if there is any truth behind it.

Our house rule is sit down wees only. With a house of boys, it was necessary.

Unfortunately, I can’t enforce this with every man that visits and leaves piss dribbles and spatters.

It's really not necessary to enforce...

A house of bots here all perfectly capable of seeing standing up and not making a mess.

How odd you had to enforce sitting down.

But standing to urinate is a normal everyday function for most men - it isn't a shameful, antisocial or aggressive act.

Men don't stand up to wee in order to show aggression to women; any more than women have periods in order to show aggression to men.

In that case, why do any of you ever need to wee at all? Surely just a regular oil-change and a squirt or two of WD40 and you're grand?

@WhiffyTheWizard ??

My comment was that those who stand and piss all over the floor leaving it for others (usually a woman) to clean up are being aggressive, though many may not realise it. It should be shameful to leave toilets in the way many men seem to see fit when they stand.

I am also wondering if there was a link because a previous poster also said men with small penises simply can't pee sitting because it won't hang down enough and would still spray all over the place. Small penis could mean angry men. Steroids do mean small penis and angry men, we know this.

Women have been called hysterical for years usually for simply speaking up and plenty of studies done on that... More important to find out why some men are simply so raging all the time.

Personally i'd take offence at someone telling me how to do something as private as taking a piss. Body autonomy.

Sure, I could sit down, and sometimes do but I don't always fancy putting my arse on a cold seat.

If you make a mess it takes hardly a second to wipe it down with some loo roll.
