I’m not really looking to hear from people who don’t think this way, with answers like “insecurity”, “toxic masculinity”, etc. I want to hear answers from men who really detest men who sit to pee.
Follow-up questions:
- when you have to piss while shitting, do you stand up turn around and piss on your shit and then sit back down to finish shitting?
- are you ever groggy in the morning?
- how clean is your toilet and surrounding floor, and whose job is cleaning it?
- what are your true passions in life?
I always prefer to sit unless I’m in a huge hurry. It’s called a restroom for a reason. I’m going to take a break, browse Lemmy or something, and otherwise “rest”. I’ll return to work when I’m ready.
What really pisses me off is when I hear someone enter another stall to take a standing piss. They rarely put the seat up and always get pee all over everything. If you’re going to stand, use a urinal. There’s nothing more pathetic than being afraid to whip your dick out beside your fellow man, and instead, choose to piss on the place where others want to take a sit.
Because the toilet touches your ass therefore automatically making you gay, bro. Same reason some men don’t wipe their asshole.
I wish I was kidding.
I’m sorry some men think wiping their ass is gay? That’s the weirdest thing I’ve heard this week
Not gay but fucking gross. Why do I want to sit in someone’s piss?
Because they’re afraid the other guys in shop class will call them a p@#$y.
I don’t know who y’all hang out with, but my friends for decades have given each other shit for anything we can possibly think of. It’s a form of male bonding.
Some people are like that, I’ve never understood it
You’re not going to hear from men who actually do this because they don’t have a good reason and aren’t typically comfortable with the kind of introspection the question demands.
Some people are exclusionary pricks who look for excuses to judge others. They don’t have or need a reason. It’s bullying.
Because the answer is that a lot of men don’t want to challenge their idea of masculinity. Women sit down to pee. If man sits to pee, it just challenges their whole idea of masculinity and it’s easier to get other men to comform than he introspective
If the idea of masculinity is getting challenged by sitting down to pee theres a whole shit ton of other more urgent problems mate 😹
A lot of men think it’s manly to never wipe your ass and will shatter if there’s the color pink on anything they own.
I want to hear answers from men who really detest men who sit to pee.
I fear that you will not many of these kinds of people on Lemmy. If you really want a good answer, you’d have to post it somewhere like Twitter or Truth Social.
I had a toilet where the seat just wouldn’t stay up. It was just easier to sit. And even when I didn’t have this toulet I would sit in the middle of the night to keep the noise down and not have to turn on the light. I called this the “tactical piss”.
But guys who are just super against it are weird. Doesn’t make you any less of a guy my guy.
I always sit to pee when I’m at home, mostly so I don’t have to worry about spray/drippage/seat positions, but I also believe that men have this amazing power where we have the ability to stand and pee… and I think the biggest flex you can make when you have amazing power is to only use that power when it makes sense. Restraint is power.
So like having guns to make sure we don’t lose the 2nd ammendment?
No, more like using a pen to write about how important the 2nd amendment is, without actually needing to own a gun first.
But, like, what point do you think I was trying to make? That if I don’t sit down to pee then I won’t be able to pee standing? I’m really confused at your attempt to shoehorn politics into a conversation about piss.
I was being goofy. Of course it doesn’t make sense. Jesus, Lemmy has gotten as bad as reddit. It’s all people ready to fight at the drop of a hat.
Yeah, sorry… someone else had riled me up, and I didn’t do a cache flush before seeing your comment.
More like being responsible with guns so people don’t argue we can’t afford to leave the second amendment unrestrained.
Not everything has to be political my guy.
I was being silly. Not everything has to be serious my guy.
It’s okay to simply be wrong and admit it you know. Much more honorable as well. Being silly with a political joke, is still being political.
Lol. K
Hah, I’m totally making an assumption here, but I’m willing to bet you’re the type who tests the temperature of the room by saying something mildly political like this, and then if things go well, you’ve successfully hijacked a conversation - and if they don’t, you just back off and pull the “it was just a joke, I was being funny”…
Unfortunately you backed yourself into a corner here because the “it was just a joke!” doesn’t really land well when you’re trying to inject politics into a conversation that has literally nothing to do with them. I know I’m kinda hard calling you out here, but I’m just saying - it’s not a good look.
That’s a lot and I’m not going to read it. I promise you that I care exactly as much about your opinion as you do mine. You should go touch grass if you’re so worked up that you can write two paragraphs moaning about a joke you didn’t get. It’s guys like you give us guys that sit down to pee a bad name.
I will go ahead and be the only person to honestly engage with the terms of your question.
There is a movement that started a long time ago and continues today to “domesticate” boys. Boys are invariably more disobedient in controlled classrooms and group activities and so they need to be “broken in” and taught how to conform to the requirements of modern life and education. Girls tend to fit into this structure more easily as can be attested by the higher educational outcomes among women in countries that allow them to achieve it.
With this in mind there is a lot of resentment against this “breaking in” process. This metastasizes when boys hear all about how “toxic” they are by virtue of how they were born, how much more trouble they are to deal with etc. The emotional response is to resist all attempts to demasculinize them, even in the case of something as inconsequential as bathroom etiquette.
This is an honest representation of the perspective in question. Don’t get all passed off at me for being capable of presenting it.
Sincerely, thanks for being willing to provide a thoughtful response.
Even if it is a bit batty.
Just a note on the “toxic” thing - when folks talk about “toxic masculinity” they’re generally not talking about men being toxic or claiming that masculinity is always toxic. Toxic masculinity refers to the perversions of masculinity; things like “I must commit violence to defend my honor” or “I must never express ‘soft’ emotions”. Men and masculinity are good things that can and should be celebrated as much as all other identities.
The idea of it being girlie to sit down and pee far predates the “domestication” of boys. Additionally, the idea that “if you are a man you have to sit down to pee” is what is attempting to force some kind of social conformity. . . “pee how you like, it has nothing to do with how manly you are” is exactly the opposite.
I sit to pee because my dick is pierced so now I have two pee holes. If i have nothing in, I can plug the hole and stand. Besides that, sometimes I’m not in the mood to stand, sometimes I’m not in the mood to undo my pants and take them down.
-I spend 15 minutes every morning shitting and pissing and then shitting some more, so I stay seated for the entire feature presentation. -I’m groggy every fucjin morning -it’s a little dirty and hairy, I try to clean once a week but my back hurts so sometimes I’m just like fuuuuuuuuck that. Sometimes I find piss stains on the underside of the toilet seat and wonder how that got there while I clean it
- eating, sleeping, shitting and farting
Wut
Why didn’t my comment show each bullet point on a different line like I had typed it
I very often sit down to pee, but not exclusively. Some times I feel like standing.
No follow-up questions, thanks.
I don’t shame people for it, but I worked at a place where the screw holding the seat broke and it took a week for a new one to get in to the local hardware shop, so any time someone went in for that week someone would say “better not sit to piss” rather than be helpful because we like to do a little trolling around here
One morning dude comes in clearly rushing cuz he’s a little late, runs in, and my coworker says the line. Before he can finish it the guys already in the shitter with the door slammed we hear the zipper he’s going so fast and furious, hear his ass hit the seat at speed, as well as him and the seat sliding from the missing bolt and falling into the corner of the room, taking the lid of the reservoir with him
The “GYADDAMIT” as everything in the other room crashed and banged will be with me til I die, it makes me chuckle every time I think of it
I guess it is just kinda “girly” and can seem a bit “whipped” if it is from your SO telling you to do it. I think those are the common instinctive answers.
My wife does the bathroom cleaning while I do other things like the vacuuming and dishes. The first time I had to clean the bathrooms and saw the amount of splatter I never peed standing again in our or any friends’ bathrooms. I still have the option of peeing standing in public urinals and in the wild, so no “masculinity” is lost anyway, not that I give sexist bullshit the time of day anyway.
They can be fucking annoying. Like we get it, you sit down and think you’re somehow superior for being different. Otherwise I take no issue with them.
