Gentlemen, it is with great displeasure that I must inform you that we’re doing it wrong.
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.
Eh. New toilets sold in places like California, Arizona (ie dry places) use such very little water that sometimes I need to flush twice to ensure the toilet doesn’t stink
American toilets use a different mechanism, a siphon sucks the water out while in Europe we just dump water into it and hope it flushes. Water usage is the same as far as I know.
The Dutch shelf toilet… is an experience…
It’s there to avoid splashing toilet water.
It’s there to examine your stool for parasites, unfortunately. The lack of splashing is simply a bonus
Water usage per flush here in Australia is significantly lower. And yet the system is cleaner and more reliable. I had never even seen a plunger until my first US visit; We don’t need them here because our toilets work, unlike the huge American toilets which clog and require too much water.
Australia, IIRC, standardized on larger drain pipe sizes, so of course your toilets don’t clog. For some reason only some commercial buildings use the larger standard here. As for water usage, my toilet uses 1.3 gallons per flush, and they sell more expensive toilets that use much less but have a stronger pressure system. If/when this toilet breaks I’ll be getting one of those most likely.
“When I shit my dick touch da water”
“no splash” yup
C-Captain, no splash!
Not a sound!
Not a bloomin’ ripple!
Man never thought I’d be reading Peter Pan quotes in a thread like this
Just push it down bro. Have you ever peed while sitting down?
I don’t want to pull down my pants and don’t want to have to do a sitdown and stand up for a pee. Those would be my cons.
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
Yeah, a study that compares the benefits of using a toilet vs the benefits of pooping the way East Asians traditionally do (a “hole” on the ground).
And if I recall, the results were that squatting is actually better at lining up all of the anatomy for least effort in evacuation. As a result there was a suggestion of a lower incidence of haemorrhoids.

Bend over, load torpedo, FIRE.
Be like Butters
Thanks.
Boo OP
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.
The title should be prepended with the word: Older. Sitting to pee is better for men with prostate issues.

yes but who cleans the bathroom anyways?
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.
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
What a terrible day to be literate.
Preach
Our new place has a round bowl, rather than swap to an oval toilet I bought a split seat and replaced the full round seat. It helps a lot.

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.
When I’m in a hurry I stand, when I’m chill I sit down - obviously not in public restrooms.
Also German insider: you will find passive aggressive signs for people to sit down to pee in quite some homes.
I don’t even sit when I shit
In America if you sit to pee, your dick touches the water
Long dick daddy from Cincinnati
Yeah…totally…hate it when that happens😒
I hate when I need to shit in public and can’t find a toilet without actual excrement on the seat. No way in hell am I enduring that just to piss.

Have fun shitting while standing.
I know I always do
When in your own home, just do it the way god intended: kneeling. (it’s really quite nice)
if you do it right you can get your beverage coming out from 3 or 4 places at once.
Sitting prevents the smartphone from falling into the toilet.
I would love to sit down, but my roommate’s a nasty mfer and I’d have to wash the seat every time.
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.
Ah that’s a good point. I was thinking it’d be the other way around and they’d sit down because it’s too much effort to stand
Add an elevated platform for the feet to get the knees up a bit and you have the best of both worlds.
A proper throne
