I have just found out DH wees sitting down and it has changed the view I have of him

[MarriedToASittingPisser]

He seems childlike now. I cannot feel lust for a man who pees sitting down. Is that peculiar? Do your other halves do this?

Actually I envy men's ability to pee standing up when it comes to public loo's - they don't have to park their bum on a filthy loo seat used by countless others; sharing community bum fluff and bacteria (and perhaps little flecks of faecal matter)

dh always does this at home out of respect. saves me cleaning wee of the radiator and putting the seat down.
the boys will be taught the same way.

hmc I agree. Find it much more satisfactory that 6yo DS just goes into a public toilet and aims and wees, whereas 2yo DD is balancing on, trying to refuse to let me hold her which means she is holding on to the seat with her hands etc. Then I have to lift her up to the basin to wash her hands and it is invariably wet all round so her coat/top get damp. etc

Sorry for tangent.

Oh Bozza, I have so been there. Why won't they let you just hold them grrr.
HMC - Yuk
Floating in Space - Why thank you.

clumsymum; the term for sufferers of this phobia is 'cubicle man'. As in 'do you use the urinal?' 'No, I'm a cubicle man myself'.

It's a form of performance anxiety

Ah, not uncommon then?

DH suffers from it when he thinks DD is going to grab him or get in the way etc.

Not uncommon, no. Of course the correct procedure is to stride up to the urinal, ostentatiously unzip, stand with legs 3 feet apart, fart loudly and say 'better out than in', then exit without washing your hands. That's what real men do.

I don't really 'get' the issue here. Surely it makes sense to pee sitting down at home, or when you're tired, or when piercings or drunkenness demand it, and to pee when that's appropriate, too?

Gee72,

Of course, thank you so much for that lesson in male etiquette.
If ever I have a sex change, I'll remember what you told me.

Glad to be of service

Has anyone worked out if this is for real yet?

My ds cleans his teeth sitting on the loo, but usually because he has spent the previous 15 mins ignoring me telling him that it's bed-time.

Hence I eventually yell "if you are not in bed within 5 mins, teeth cleaned, you'll get a thick ear"

He doesn't know what a thick ear is, but is not eager to find out.

my D.H used to stand up to pee but then when he had a circumsision(sp?)his pee didnt just flow out it torpedoed out.i thought sod this for a laugh and told him he either sat to pee or move out!
can't believe we're having this conversation,its amazing that once you become a mother,wee,poo,nits,worms,saggy bellys and welly top fans become the topic of every conversation!

Mine swaps between the two - sitting/ standing I mean.

Cleaning teeth on the loo seems a bit gross to me. I can't have a wee and then not wash my hands before starting to clean teeth. Sitting on the loo cleanign teeth seems unsanitary...

I do clean my teeth inthe shower sometimes though.

I bit the bullet and spoke to him about it last night. He said does it because that is how his mother preferred him to pee. But he said 'piddle'. He tried to have sex with me later that night and I pretended I had a headache. I think I will put my mooncup in later so that access is denied if he tries again because I cannot face having sex with a man who talks about his mother and her preference for piddling position.

Admittedly he does seem to talk like a child.

It is strange. Maybe he is regressing.

I'm going to have to use a cod-ism here:

Freaks. Vom.

This thread has all the shockability points and LOL subjects to make my day.
I wish DH did sit down to pee...the cleaning I have to do can be positively yuk
But (says in deep voice) for a man to be a man - must stand to P!

he talks about his mother whilst you are having sex!?!?!?!

I'm not surprised you want to bung yourself with a mooncup.

JustSometimes, Make DP clean up after himself, that's not so unreasonable is it?
