Men, while in your 'home or the home of friends or family', when you must do #1 (make Pee-Pee) do you...Stand or do you...Sit? Be honest!!! And may we have the women who keep such nice homes chime in, please. Remember, in 'yours or others home', not some Bar, Restaurant,Plane, Cruise Ship, Gas Station, or Office. OK Now...I SIT and so do my Boys...:cool:
 

I stand and try to hit that nose booger I just threw in there. In the middle the night and half asleep Ill sit and continue sleeping.

Sorry for the ladies but I WILL NOT SIT in a public restrooms. ,that so unhealthy. BUT that's me.
 
If anyone has seen the average public ladies room...I wish I could stand:(

Something everyone follows at home however is to always put the lid down when you're done. Whoever forgets is given the honor of bathing the first cat that falls in.
 
The plant I worked for in Phoenix had many Korean women working hourly jobs. Rumor had it that the cleaning people constantly complained about urine-splattered floors. Rumor further had it that, in Korea, the poor class of folks having little or no plumbing facilities bore a hole in the ground, the women thus being able to stand above and urinate into the hole.

The custom was ingrained. Many stood up on the stool, above the "hole", just as they always had back home in Korea. Harder for them to hit the mark than for men.

I did not make this up! imp

Much of the world's population use squat toilets:

I had occasion to use them in Vietnam. There was no water supply hooked up to them, they were emptied by hand.
 
There is a product called the "Squatty potty" You put your feet on it to raise your knees while you sit on the toilet.. It's supposed to make "going" easier as it is a more natural pooping position...

And then there are the "squat toilets" in the countries around the Mediterranean. What do you do if you have a knee problem?

Unless there's a medical condition preventing it, I would expect all men in my home to urinate in the common standing position.
 
Ever watch the cat? Meticulously buries the duty carefully, then when satisfied the evidence is hidden, it suddenly springs forward and away from that dastardly spot at top speed! imp

Not sexist much are ya? My house was and is a free easy and natural setting. With young toddler daughters in the house and now grand children I ffind in more modest to sit in case the door burst open and a kid arrives.

Not sexist at all Robusta. My house is very free and easy, and what people choose to do in the privacy of my bathroom is their business. I have a lock on my bathroom door, like most people.

Even as a child, I had my father and my brother there, and we just had a tiny hasp lock with hook on our bathroom door, and neither me nor my sisters ever busted through them when the men of the house were using the rest room.

If you're a man who chooses to sit, then that's your very personal choice, whatever works for you. I understood the original poster asking the question of women here, as it might be an issue with bathroom cleaning, so I gave my opinion, standing is typical for men and not a cleanliness issue in my home.
 
Personally... I would have preferred that all the men in my house would have peed sitting down... It prevents that nasty splashing... missing the bowl and hitting the wall due to dual streams... etc... and the stinky clean up around the toilet.. Most men have really bad aim.

Toilets are not designed for the Male Method of Standing to pee.. The pee water splashes all over and most men can't hit the bowl 100% of the time. Urinals for males make much more sense.. as they are a bit higher.. If you MUST stand... pee in the sink.
