Sat down to pee so he wouldn't have to touch it
The germans have a word for men who sit down to pee - sitzpinkler.
It also has the highest proportion of men who self-report sitting down to pee in Europe.
In the same vein I think men who don't sit down to pee at home because Its jot manly are just sad and probably don't clean their wc
At home, I'm sitting. Not just for the cleanliness, but also for the comfort.
I've always said that true power comes from having the ability to do something (pee while standing), but choosing when to use that power. Anyone who thinks that 'real men' only pee while standing have lost their power to choose.
I'm the one cleaning the toilet in the house, so I pee like I damn well please.
That's fair enough mate.
I put the seat back down when I'm done though (like 90% of the time)
I'm a big advocate for the sitzpinklers! Sometimes it just makes more sense.
cuz it makes less of a mess, and is more comfortable. it's called the "toilet seat" for a reason.
When my husband and I started living together I actually told him that he had really bad aim and I don't like having to sit in his piss. And that if he insisted on standing while peeing out of some weird sense of manliness, then I would choose not to clean up the mess he leaves behind all the time, so let's see how fast it accumulates!
I especially don't get it in your own home. There aren't any other men around, so no need to act 'manly' and all it does is force you to clean it more often, which, come to think of it, probably also isn't 'manly' so what? Do they just not clean their own toilets? Ew.
Anyway, dirty toilet seats are a choice. Any time you're forced to use a toilet with piss all over it, it was someone's choice to not care about the next person using the toilet. Many people have accepted it as normal, "it's just what happens" - no, it is a choice. I still can't believe my mother accepted it all those years, tbh. :p
My husband also said it has extra advantages to sit, like being able to pet our cats. So there you have it. Oh and we've lived in Germany for a couple of years now, and I was not at all surprised they have a special word for it. Germans have words for everything.
I don't like sitting to pee but i also aim when i pee and I lift the lid and seat before hand and if i do make a splah on the rim then i grab some toilet paper and wipe it off
The problem is that about 90% of home toilets are not penis compatible and come with a significant risk of brushing up against the inner rim where even the cleanest toilets rarely get cleaned. If everyone could agree to install elongated toilets, I'll start sitting, but until then, I'll stand when faced with the standard compact round fellow.
