62% of German Men Pee Sitting Down

I had a male dog who peed sitting down

German Shepard?

Lhasa apso

My husband’s month Dr insisted he and his father do the same.

(You didn’t mess with this Southern woman.)

(Mother)

Can confirm.

Before there were toilets no man peed sitting down. It’s stupid.

Month Dr., I love it. I'm going to start using that

How does your dick not touch the toilet bowl? Nasty!

If I had a urinal at home I’d pee standing.

I'm all for any occasion I can sit.

I think it’s because of the toilet design. German toilets have a tiny water area and a shelf like platform that takes up a lot of the space in the bowl. It makes splatter a problem if you stand up.

Living in Arizona, we have urinals that don’t use water. Water is a precious commodity here, so the less waste of water the better. You’re rarely going to see any men using the toilet just to pee.

That's why there's splatter all over the floor in American bathrooms. NASTY!

R13, do you mean people in Arizona have urinals in their homes?

The Germans are all freaky masochists. They like when their cock heads hit the cold toilet water.

Setz dich hin.

I'm a woman and pee sitting down 100% of the time. Seems like it would be awkward for men with your bendy object.

R15, most likely not, but in public places dry urinals are common.

This is probably a gross TMI for most people, but this thread is about this kind of thing. So, here goes.

To address the problem mentioned by r9, I found this solution on the reddit site, Big Dick Problems. (The title's a joke; a play on first world problems.) Anyway, I bought a raised toilet seat riser that I place on the commode at home for when I have to sit down to do my business. (See the link for an example, if you care.)

It's not the greatest having to deal with it, but it's better than having my penis and testicles always touching the toilet water. That always irritated the hell out of me. (I absolutely hate it when I have to sit down use the toilet when I'm away from my house.)

I know, gross; but that's just the kind of guy I am. It's a blessing and curse type of thing.

At least I move the dirty dishes to one side when I pee in the sink.

First, men piss; they don’t pee unless they’re functional toddlers.

Second, what the fuck do they think a urinal is used for?

Three, is this some EU socialist bullshit? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why bother, r20?

Lots of fragile psyches in this thread.

Why did the Germans become so emasculated post-WWII?

r1 I also had a male dog who squatted to pee. He did so because the other older male dog we had was considered the alpha and literally beat him into submission once. When the older male dog died, he alternated between squatting and lifting his leg to pee.

My mini-Dachshund usually squatted because his legs were too short to lift.

Urinating while sitting makes sense if you feel the need to immediately follow it up with a hot deuce.

German men are freaks sexually.

Weird. Very weird.

r26 Now, that's just adorable.

As part of my dog's physical last week, the vet asked, "Does he lift his leg to pee?" I said yes. Then she asked "Does he alternate legs?" I again replied yes. And she squealed, "That's excellent!" My dog's 14 years old.

I sit to tinkle only at night, because I don't want to turn the light on and I don't want to piss on the floor.

The whole Arizona thing is b.s. Most public bathrooms still use watery toilets or urinals. I've noticed the slight push towards unisex toilets means there is only a commode and no urinal. I can only think of one business that uses waterless urinals, and that's In-N-Out Burger. Modern toilets have a small flush and large flush button. And waterless urinals mostly smell bad.

This sounds like some insecure alpha male bullshit. If you don't want your toilet to smell like piss and you don't want to spend extra time cleaning it (or worse, make somebody else do it), then it makes sense to sit the fuck down, unless your junk is too big and it drags the water. Somehow I doubt that's a common problem.

This "TOILiNAL" from Taiwan is funny.

Toilet on one side, which revolves and has a urinal on the other.

And this flushless urinal under the sink seems bizarre.

Honestly, modern Germans seem so cucked to me.

There's no way a man takes a shit, wipes, then stands up to piss. They're lying if they say that.

R35, that urinal is feeding into a gray water pipe that is not designed to handle hazardous waste.

Could Manuel Neuer be part of that 62%?

That Big Dick Problems subreddit is useless without pictures.

It's becausae they're uncircumcised. Duh.

For men, sitting down to piss is one of life's little pleasures.

R41. The correct term is "intact." There is nothing "un" about having a perfectly all-natural penis.

I pee sitting down. I hate getting piss on the toilet seat! And it's more comfortable. I'll pee standing up if I'm in public or struggling to pee (which happens when I take opiates).

Men are designed to pee standing up. I think it's silly to sit down unless you have a particular physical problem.

R44, you know you can raise the seat, right? Or did you mean the toilet rim? If so, your aim needs work.

R37, obviously not. The question concerns what you do when you only have to urinate.

I find it quite interesting that northern and western European countries are moving more toward this while people in the US find it APPALLING!!!, along with Latin American countries that have the lowest rates.

I've always associated Latin American countries with having a kind of stubborn and silly machismo and never really realized that the US shares it, but that kind of explains a lot about the growing hostility here toward people who don't try to embody traditional man/woman gender roles. Even in 2023. So strange.

R35: It's like a small dream come true, except you realize it isn't. I piss in the bathroom sink often enough. The height of the sink could be an issue, I suppose, but the device you illustrate may not approach an optimum arc of "aim." Bigger dicks don't need holding and pointing, you just pull it out and your hands are free until the shake it off stage. Smaller dicks or complicated dicks may require some directional manipulation.

Putting what looks like a bicycle horn under the sink where, not able to see what you're doing, you must rely on feel wouldn't be everyone's cup of piss. Most men don't like touching porcelain with their dicks.

And no flushing? Really, run some water through the drain.

I've never seen anyone anywhere suggest such an absurd thing, R37. No man does that.

If R37 experiencies polyps, they will understand the body’s evil habit of saying , “and now we have to pee again!”.

At home, sure sit to pee if you want; but I would rather avoid sitting on public toilets since they’re gross.

Jerusalem Times supports the Germans.

[quote]Men are designed to pee standing up.

Men are not "designed," and my penis functions well in any position. As others have pointed out, all men pee while sitting to take a shit. The idea that sitting is somehow suboptimal for urination is ridiculous.

Lots of male fragility on display here.

I’m typing this sat down whilst peeing and there may be some faecal movement as well

You'd think male dogs that squat, which my dad's dog did, would be enough evidence that there's no "right" way to pee. Different people just have different ways of doing things.

I am inclined to sit most of the time but not always. I do sometimes feel like my bladder empties a little more when I stand, but when I "go number two" and pee at the same time, the flow is much stronger than when I am not emptying my bowels. I think it all has to do with prostate pressure and not with posturing.

Sitting on the toilet for too long can lead to hemorrhoids. Aside from that, I see no issue with it whatsoever.

To people who claim their genitals hang into the water...well, good for you if true but I am not really inclined to believe it's a problem for almost anyone for a few reasons.

First, this is not a problem for me. My penis is on the longer side of average although it does grow to that size and I have moderately 'low hangers,' and my genitals have never touched the surface of toilet water.

Second, if this is really a problem for you, how in the fuck do you take a dump? Do you also stand to do that and splash cannon balls into the water? That would be equally gross.

I think in almost all cases, resistance to this is simply a matter of sexist 'men don't sit to piss' paradigms, and it's a really arbitrary and frankly dumb notion. Some men are more comfortable sitting to pee. It may even be an anatomical thing. My dad's dog who squatted to pee did it according to his vet because of hip and leg joint alignments; it was just more comfortable and more natural for him.

Europe is pussy-whipped. Has been since post-WWII. It's practically a matriarchy now.

Remember how in the '90s, we used to say, "Is he gay or European?" because a lot of the men came off effeminate/emasculated.

Sitting down on who?

R52 Sitting is suboptimal, not from a bladder perspective, but for effective use of time and place. That is all.

Will no one think of the urinals?

Team catheter!

[quote] Sitting down on who?

Oh, dear.

I was at a concert in London a few years ago and a woman walked in hitched up her skirt and backed onto a urinal.

She complained about the queues for the women's toilets and not to look if they were offended.

r38 never pee'd in the shower!

Sorry, but this practice will back up the restroom lines to almost as long as the women's lines. Fucking stand up, whip it out, drain your bladder, and get out fast. That's the way it was meant to be.

Interesting to note that R63 doesn’t mention the washing of hands afterwards.

R55, absolutely right, but don't tar all of Europe with the same brush. It's northwestern Europe that is a bit gender hazy and feministic. Men in southern and eastern Europe are still pretty thoroughly male.

R62, peeing in the shower is only for those with very efficient shower drains.

R64, real men don't pee on their hands, but I assume R63 included the washing in the "get out fast" process.

It is a myth that urine is sterile.

A fun read from the Washingtonian years ago.

It's basically about how Chuck Todd played his own politics at NBC and got David Gregory abruptly fired so he could take the job he thought he should have had already.

[quote] Todd also pined for the moderator’s chair—and lobbied aggressively for it. “He saw himself as the heir,” says the former senior NBC executive, and “let it be known that he was the one that Tim Russert wanted.”

He's gone far for a homely man with no college degree.

Do you know where you are, r67, or are you implying that Todd pissed all over Gregory' s career?

At home, I pee while sitting down. I've been doing it since I was a kid (I'm American). Out my home, if there's a urinal available, I'll use that, cause I hate sitting on nasty public toilets.

I sit down because when I pee, the liquid often comes out in two parallel streams, not one. Aiming at the toilet and not missing can be challenging, so I avoid the problem by sitting down.

FYI, when I cum, it's often in two streams as well. Just an accident in my anatomy.

“I have to tinkle…””OK?”

R69: “FYI, when I cum, it's often in two streams as well.”

Pics or it didnt happen.

r69 Has this always been the case or did it develop as time went on? I assume you've had it checked out by a urologist? Because...

Strangely enough, two German friends were in town this weekend so I was able to ask them this question. They both pee sitting down and expressed confusion bordering on horror that I didn't do the same.

I pee sitting down unless I'm peeing on someone during sex.
