Gentlemen, it is with great displeasure that I must inform you that we’re doing it wrong.
We conclude that the sitting posture is the best position for men with urination problems, e.g. due to an enlarged prostate to urinate in, whereas no difference was found in healthy men
Buried near the bottom. Clickbait headline.
I’m waiting for the StandUp to Poo study
The title should be prepended with the word: Older. Sitting to pee is better for men with prostate issues.
I regularly sit down to pee because the toilet in my van has a divider which diverts all the solids to the back and the liquids to a storage tank in the front. Good to know it’s also healthy for my prostate.
My bathroom is carpeted. I’ve sat to pee for years, and now default to it everywhere. Plus, fewer issues with drippage.
My problem is that I drip when I stand up even after I’m “finished”. It feels easier to get every last drop out when I stand up.
Also, I could never have carpet in my bathroom. That just sounds like a breeding ground for mold and mildew just from the humidity of showering even if you are sitting down to avoid sprinkling droplets of pee everywhere.
Protip: when you’re done, doesn’t matter sitting or standing, push on your taint. It often helps clear the plumbing and prevents dripping. Was a life changer when I found that trick.
Sitting prevents the smartphone from falling into the toilet.
Sitting is 10 times better. Easier to pee, no need to aim, no splash so you don’t fuck up the bathroom. But I’d use a urinal over any toilet when I’m outside because 1) it’s faster 2) I don’t want to sit down on a common toilet).
What do you mean no need to aim? I hope you’re not just letting your dick rub against the toilet bowl while you pee.
hanging down all the way into the water, probably.
American toilets are just weird. Why do they need to evacuate into an overful lake like that? Always seems so wasteful, putting 50 litres of water into each flush too.
The oval shape is so a penis doesn’t touch the seat/bowl when you sit.
On round toilets, someone with a penis might need to touch the seat with their hands the whole time they are seated.They’re oval here too, but don’t require all that extra water, a lake in every flush. I think you mistead overfull? And I had never seen a real plunger in Australia, we don’t ever need them. Our toilets just work.
“When I shit my dick touch da water”
The evacuation displaced just enough water to give it a wet kiss
Poseidon’s Kiss
“no splash” yup
C-Captain, no splash!
Not a sound!
Not a bloomin’ ripple!
In public I use the urinal or sit down. At home I sit down. Sometimes peeing makes me want to shit anyway even if I wasn’t planning to originally.
I’m a woman now and technically, they didn’t say it’s wrong for a woman to stand while she pees.
Oops this is Men’s Liberation. Sorry. Back to lurking. Good luck, men.
Ironic that the surveys said that older men say down less to pee while it’s more beneficial to them.
Sitting down just becomes harder as you get older. Especially with toilets as they are relatively low.
Installing an elevated toilet seat and some handrails next to it can be a significant life improvement for older people.
Add an elevated platform for the feet to get the knees up a bit and you have the best of both worlds.
I think an elongated seat/toilet makes sitting down much easier and more comfortable. Round seats/toilets really suck for a man.
Round seats are best because you can tuck your willy under the seat and there’s no chance of it popping up. Also the cool ceramic underside of the toilet seat helps stimulate urine flow
I hear you there, you must suffer Long Dong Syndrome as well…
Nah, it’s a problem across the board
Even if you have the world’s tinkiest dinky you’re going to want an elongated bowl just to have some room for the pee to arc out so you don’t piss all over your balls.
I’m really confused reading this thread. Why isn’t it possible to just twist and tuck it left or right? I’m a dude and have never had a problem peeing sitting down on a round toilet.

Meanwhile, my nuts don’t touch the water, and my dick ain’t fell off yet. I think I’ll continue standing…
How low do your nuts hang lmao
Had I not been to the US this would have made little sense to me. US toilets and ours (NZ) are very different (the scrotal sag would have to be pretty epic to reach the water here).
Dutch toilets with their poo-presentation shelf are different too. And then there’s squat toilets.
So many ways to excrete, so little time…
That would explain the comment about nuts lol, I was perplexed by it. Just searched for American toilets and lmao what’s the deal with so little space between where you are sitting and the waterline??
Many homes in the USA, especially ones with wells are low water as well. It would make me crazy having so much water splashing around so high.
Then don’t piss on the water, piss on the side of the bowl to make it spiral instead of splash.
You got this homie, just practice your aim… 👍
