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????????

@PanicAttax oh dear god!

That's a reach it's me with small penises and that makes them angry?

Surely it's not the penis size that makes the sex better for men, surely it's only the woman's pleasure that's different. So why would they be angry?

Also, all male pants have that handy little opening that allows them to get their large, medium or small dicks out and not have to undress to pee, id do it if i could.

unless of course you mean the non angry men are so huge they can't fit it through the gap?

Maybe that's it 🤔

There are three boys and one girl in our house, the only one doing a sit down wee is our daughter. There is zero need to sit down for the boys in our home.

Every single friend I have that has boys, has a piss smelling downstairs loo.

I didn’t care what mine did at school etc, and I wasn’t policing them, but they just never got into the habit of standing up to piss st home. I have just asked the 21 year old what he does at his girlfriend’s parents’ house and he sits down. ‘I only stand up at a urinal’ he said. He also said the loos at his uni house are always ‘gack’ because of his housemates splashing.

Quite right too.

Sorry, just being silly and picking up on a (I thought) funny typo:

A house of bots here

Apologies, I misconstrued your comment as directed at ALL men who wee standing up; I agree with you 100% about those who make a mess and leave it for somebody else to find/clean up.

@WhiffyTheWizard ah!!

I agree

My friends don't and neither do I!

Get better friends!

It’s called micturition syncope.

@Ambleen , re the German man, as a long term resident in Germany my theory is that the shelf, or 'shit inspection platform' as I secretly call it poses little threat to sit down weeing as it is more at the back of the toilet, leaving free rein for happy streams of sit down wee to gush into the front of the toilet. Too shy to ask male colleagues tho.

You've mentioned "pointing his willy down". That was the main thing I and my sister (mainly her) had to remember when teaching our little brother.
"Hold it down!!" became her catchphrase!

I think for men standing up fully empties their bladder? It is opposite for women.

One of the low points when my ds's were little was discovering Al fresco standing up wees are tricky! Never thought about wind direction, slope of the ground, many times they and I got covered. I always encouraged sitting down wees!

what? which bible story?

The only one I know is Gideon’s Army of 300 but it was based on how men drank from a stream. The ones that knelt, cupped water and drank were dismissed whereas the ones that flung themselves down on their bellies and lapped the water like dogs were kept for the army.

I remember this thread from earlier in the year, strange it’s been resurrected, however this is the only post that is relevant and true, it doesn’t all come out sitting down, can leave a guy uncomfortable and needing to go again. However all men should clean up after themselves if need be. My aunt had a twee sign in her loo saying ‘if you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat’, 😂🤢. However we all had carpet in the loo back then, plus fluffy seat lid covers and pedestal mats, oh and the crocheted lady that disguised the spare loo roll!

They don't have to. My son doesn't and my husband doesn't. It's unnecessary.

This.

Have told my DS that stand up wees happen at urinals and he has to be tall enough to reach one before he can try it 😂 sometimes they have low down ones for kids and he gets VERY excited. At home he sits down, as does DH. Very normal in his culture.

They have a more complete emptying of the bladder standing up. More the case the older they get when the flow weakens as the prostate starts to enlarge from the late 30's onwards.

I would! So handy…

On a sidenote why do men never sit with their legs tucked under them on the sofa, lol.

Yes, hadn't thought about this. I imagine I'd do it for a while but then realise how much more comfortable it is to sit down.
Actually, although it would be useful and avoid queues I suppose, the more I think about it the less exciting it sounds!

I was at the cinema a few days ago and went to the loo before the film started. The loos were unisex. OK so I didn't see who used the loo before me, but whoever it was left wee all over the seat. Ugh. So I have my suspicions.

A woman hovering probably. I have seen it in ladies loos.

The fainting at night is definitely a thing, especially in older men. I know someone (not DH) who had this happen to him and split his head open on the toilet bowl.

I find teaching your son to help clean up will stop him from not looking while going. Even if he isn't old enough to do a good job have him help.
