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).

This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.
Rules
Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people
Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.
Be productive
Be proactive in forming a productive discussion. Constructive criticism of our community is fine, but if you mainly criticize feminism or other people's efforts to solve gender issues, your post/comment will be removed.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when posting:
- Build upon the OP
- Discuss concepts rather than semantics
- No low effort comments

Assume good faith
Do not call other submitters' personal experiences into question.
No bigotry
Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.
No brigading
Do not participate if you have been linked to this discussion from elsewhere. Similarly, links to elsewhere on the threadiverse must promote constructive discussion of men’s issues.

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.

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

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

The title should be prepended with the word: Older. Sitting to pee is better for men with prostate issues.
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.
My bathroom is carpeted. I've sat to pee for years, and now default to it everywhere. Plus, fewer issues with drippage.
My problem is that I drip when I stand up even after I'm "finished". It feels easier to get every last drop out when I stand up.
Also, I could never have carpet in my bathroom. That just sounds like a breeding ground for mold and mildew just from the humidity of showering even if you are sitting down to avoid sprinkling droplets of pee everywhere.

I think an elongated seat/toilet makes sitting down much easier and more comfortable. Round seats/toilets really suck for a man.

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.
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.

Could always just get a litter box. Way more convenient.
I don't even sit when I shit
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.
Damn sitzpinklers and their elitist signage
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.

When in your own home, just do it the way god intended: kneeling. (it's really quite nice)

I mean just use a diaper and you can sit to pee anywhere!
In America if you sit to pee, your dick touches the water
Long dick daddy from Cincinnati
Yeah...totally...hate it when that happens😒
Meanwhile, my nuts don't touch the water, and my dick ain't fell off yet. I think I'll continue standing..
Had I not been to the US this would have made little sense to me. US toilets and ours (NZ) are very different (the scrotal sag would have to be pretty epic to reach the water here).
Dutch toilets with their poo-presentation shelf are different too. And then there's squat toilets.
So many ways to excrete, so little time...
Dutch toilets with their poo-presentation shelf
Holy fuck, I hate so much those toilets. Why on earth do they use that?!

Many homes in the USA, especially ones with wells are low water as well. It would make me crazy having so much water splashing around so high.
Then don't piss on the water, piss on the side of the bowl to make it spiral instead of splash.
You got this homie, just practice your aim.. 👍
