A buddy of mine and me are arguing about how men are using the toilet. I thought many men today would sit down to pee, he thinks, nearly no one does. So what's your habit?

PB!

EDIT!!!: This means at home/family/friend's houses!!! Not public!

Stand. Have you never been to a public toilet, and perhaps noticed all those men with their dick out, facing the wall? What did you think they were actually doing??

I'm confused about the 3rd option. Do you mean both at the same time?

Stand like a real man. I don't understand why anyone would have to "clean-up", especially if the seat was left up (you hear me ladies?). What's up with these polls where one, or all other votes but one, have been rigged to be obviously "wrong"?

Like I said though, real men stand when they pee.

Oh yeah ....... In before LOCKINATION

Just remember not to do it while upside down and you will be okay.

Why the assumption that the womenfolk clean the dunny?

In the middle of the night I don't want to turn on the light, so I sit down then.

I pee in the sink while standing on my tippy toes. So, you know, I can rest my testes on the cool counter top.

It's kinda nice to take a liesurely sitting down piss every so often. Usually I stand up by default, but when I remember and I'm at home I like to sit.

Piss standing of course. And with only few years practice during my early years, I manage quite nicely without anyone, including myself, having to clean up after me.

Never in my life had it occured to me that any able-bodied man would piss sitting down

Just curious; who decided that it was unmanly to sit, and why does anybody care?

I wouldn't say it is simply "un-manly" to sit... but it sure is impractical!

This has to be one of the most pointless threads ever.

ditto.

and when you can say that in reference to one of pooka's posts - something is amiss.

I personally find it messier to do it sitting then I do standing.

Same here... I either need a dimmer switch in the bathroom or a stronger night light. No way I'm turning the lights on full blast if I'm less than half awake.

Otherwise sitting down is a waste of effort as far as I'm concerned. It's much easier to simply adjust a zipper, or otherwise whip it out.

I think I could live without the fly.. esp on underwear. It's uncomfortable and I never use the damn thing anyway.

Not to mention unzipping/pulling down *slightly* is a lot easier and faster then having to screw around with the fly

Sounds like you don't spend much time in the lounge

but yeah, it's not unmanly, but why sit down when we get a choice of something better.

I sit all the time, so I can save embarasssment. If I don't get all the urine out of my urethra then when I stand urine leaks in the crotch area!

Folks, if you can't aim and you pee on everything around the intended target, PLEASE take the time to clean it up. ESPECIALLY if it's a public toilet.

There is very little in the world that is more disgusting than having to use the can and having to clean up the mess from the guy before you.

Why sit for something that takes about 30-60 seconds. Just more efficient.

Bah, much to hard to squeeze my balls and shaft into the tiny toilet seat *just* to pee. unless im especially drunk, and then i'm more apt to simply piss in the sink. it's even worse if you've got a morning woodie. I'd rather staple my dick to my calf then force my third hand to contort itself into such an awkward position when it's saluting the flag.
