I’ve quite recently made a change to sitting down to pee instead of the usual point and shoot and I can’t believe I haven’t earlier. It’s quieter, more comfortable and completely avoids any potential mess from split streams or spraying. Standing does have its place and can be more convenient in certain scenarios but I don’t think it should be standard for penis-havers. Do people think it’s gay or something?
Thoughts and feelings would be appreciated and will advance the piss discourse of the site.
Sitting makes me feel like I’m getting dirty. With standing you don’t touch the toilet at all and as long as you wipe you stay completely clean (and guys should wipe despite it being common not to).
Although a urinal is better for standing and should arguably be included in home bathrooms, at least full bathrooms.

unless it goes all the way to the floor. then it’s much, much worse
Love to splatter all over my shoes
I like the trough-style urinal. I like to bond with the boys by sharing penises
I hate to be the one to tell you this, but if you pee standing up you are absolutely getting pee on the front of your pants every time as a fine mist.
Shit yeah I already knew that, but it’s easy to forget. I’m sure that can be mitigated though. But a mist of fresh piss hitting my pants is still better than sitting my bare ass on a toilet.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Best part is you can poop and pee at the same time, obvious one. Makes me LOL when I see a dude waste time at the urinal then go into the stall, bro you would have excreted poop and pee with one sit and been out. It is gender affirming AF to stand but that 2 for 1 action is hard to beat.
If I try that outside of peak summer, the ambient temperature has my penis pointing between the toilet seat and bowl and creates a huge mess unless I dedicate a hand to pointing it down
I suppose you would have to dedicate a hand while standing as well no?
honkai is a two handed endeavour
you can kinda lean against the wall behind the toilet and not have to hold it, i guess depending on your dangle
why doe sthis have so many comments
Because no matter who you are and what your beliefs, we all piss.
At home I always sit down to piss. My toilet has a kind of fucky shape seemingly design to maximise splashback, and I don’t wanna deal with that. Another plus with sitting down is that some times you can sneak in a little dookie as well. very nice.
I think i’ve got some issue with my prostate where i cant properly piss sitting down

Wow. A while back I unironically posted about how threads like this get tons of comments, while threads about other issues (such as “how do we reach lonely young males and prevent them from going down the right-wing pipeline?”) get comparatively pretty much zero engagement: https://hexbear.net/comment/4214237
I kinda disagree. This thread is an oddity when usually threads barely reach 25 comments. Whereas if I were to post a thread that asked “is it socialist to sit down while peeing?” I’m guessing it might get 300+ comments. It’s not just male loneliness threads, but threads that ask what to actually do with regards to society, revolution, etc. Those threads might barely reach 50 comments while threads about pig poop balls get like hundreds of comments. It just makes me realize that very few on hexbear are actually serious about anything. They just have strong political beliefs but nothing real to back them up. The very definition of “online left,” so I guess I’m really not doing anything more here than just circlejerking I guess…
Jesus Christ the state of the western left… fml
threads like this are how we reach lonely young males and prevent them from going down the right-wing pipeline
Well I mean topics like this are fairly low effort and are just meant for a laugh so it’s much easier to get engagement. Serious topics in comparison require effort and knowledge to contribute to meaningfully which less people have time or ability to engage with in the same manner.
Also sites like this generally cultivate a base which largely have the same general opinions and views on the more serious stuff, so it’s much harder to come up with something that hasn’t already been discussed or studied to death.
At the end of the day the impact on the real world of anything that gets posted here is close to zero. Most people just want to have some fun with like minded people which can be hard to find in real life. So tell me, do you sit or stand when you piss?
It really says a lot about society
Effortposting requires effort. If I’m popping off a few comments from the shitter while at work, I have time to crack some jokes but maybe not to solve society’s problems
I feel the issue here is that you’re expecting a niche multinational left unity social network to be organising. I can’t speak for everyone, but I come here to socialise and relax with like minded leftists, occasionally offering a bit of online support, and leave the organising and “what can we do here and now with the resources we have access to” for my actual physical location and people I know IRL.

I feel you, but the problem is that I always see that excuse being thrown around for issues that ppl (especially admins/mods) don’t really care about. If even one trans of POC comrade said they felt unwelcome, all hands would be on deck, but when it comes to certain issues (like male loneliness) then all of a sudden it becomes “WELL THIS IS JUST A SUUUUUUUUPER NICHE WEB FORUM WHAT DID YOU EXPECT???”
Why can’t Hexbears be serious and have 400+ comment threads where each top-level comment is a dissertation. Why do AskHexbear threads that any user can pop into and easily give a 2 word positive or negative answer, always get 200 more comments than threads where nuanced discussion about real world events is actually taking place.
.
I do agree with your sentiment but be the change you wish to see in hexbear
Most people think that the mess only comes from missing the bowl, which isn’t true. I only stand and per at urinals or public toilets where there is no urinal available. If I’m in my home or someone else’s home I sit every time.
Sitzpinkler!
You are correct, and it is good to see the pisscourse continue to be elevated.
It’s important to have a materialist approach to the pisscourse
An ex of mine peed in the sink then washed his dick and the sink it every time. He said his grandmother taught him to do it. He was raised in a very different context. Most saliently where bidets were commonplace. But I doubt this was normal.
He was 100% clean at all times, that was nice.
I mean if there’s no toilet available and you HAVE to go then it makes sense that like while it might seem gross it’s okay to pee in a sink as long as you 1000% clean it after, but why is this person’s grandmother teaching them what is basically a Goblin Mode Lifehack
I get knocked down, I get knocked down again,
You’re never gonna knock me down!
I take a whisky drink, I take a chocolate drink,
And when I have to pee, I use the kitchen sink!
I sing the song that reminds me I’m a urinating guy!
yes, I’ve always peed sitting down (unless I’m using a public restroom and just have to piss, then I’m just gonna use the urinal unless I really want to sit for some reason)
only negative part is sitting in a toilet that has a higher water level than normal (which is a wtf thing in general because sometimes I’ll walk into a friend’s house and see their old ass toilet that probably uses like 4gal per flush and go “have you never considered spending the like $150 on a new toilet that will lower your water bill significantly…?? it’s not 1970, technology has progressed please stop wasting water”) or sitting in one with like a semi in the morning because
i don’t like when i can feel the top of the water with my foreskin
We got a new water efficient toilet and it gets clogged whenever I require more than 3 wipes. This fuckin blows
comrade why aren’t you using a bidet
Wife fights me tooth and nail on it. First and only time she used a bidet it was a bad one that sparyed your entire ass, and I cant convince her that not every bidet is like this
ha - as I found with my previous roommates at one point, the trick is to just buy & install a nice one without mentioning it. They’ll come out of the bathroom when they notice it & try to dunk on you/get you to remove it, but all you have to do is go “why? you don’t have to use it, I bought and installed it for myself - enjoy your unclean butthole” and eventually she’ll mention out of the blue weeks later that they were completely wrong about bidets - much like my roommates did
I may just. I hate showering, and the cleaner my butthole, the longer I can delay it
Yeah I used to do this sometimes
Now I just pee in a soup container and dilute it to fertilize the lawn
It’s got what plant’s crave, yim yumHello Kitty piss jars.
Better than some of the hello kitty jars on the internet…
