Be Seated: Why I Don't Pee Standing Up
>>> Casual Misanthropy
By staff writer JD Rebello
July 24, 2005
Can I tell you a secret? Ok. Don’t laugh. I like to think of myself as a guy’s guy. I like sports, beer, Madden, jerking off, and farting for sport. But I think every guy, as hard as we try, has some effeminate qualities. It’s true. Even me. Seriously, I’ll even give you some white space to let that sink in....
What are some of my effeminate qualities? Glad you asked. Well, I’ve seen “Love, Actually” close to 50 times, I bawled like a baby during the finale of Dawson’s Creek Season 1 (when Joey and her dad were talking at the prison), I actually enjoyed the Liz Phair era, and yes, I consider Brad Pitt to be my favorite actor. Whew. Glad I got that off my chest. Still, there is one last quirk I possess of which I’m not particularly proud:
I pee sitting down.
Now...
You may be thinking, what a tool! And if not, thanks, but don’t patronize me. I don’t pee standing up. Believe me, I’ve tried. It’s just one of those things like calculus and flip cup, that I just can’t do. And here’s why:
1. Ever seen Shaq trying to make free throws? That’s me peeing standing up. When I’m done, I mean, the seat is soaked. And I’ve tried, but unfortunately there’s no shooting range for me to practice, except for maybe those ashtrays at movie theaters. Now you’d be surprised, but that gets frowned upon.
2. Ever try to pee with wood? Yeah, that’s fun. It’s like trying to hit a knuckleball with a fish.
3. Maybe I’m just lazy. I just like sitting down. Standing seems like something only undesirable minorities should have to do. (And by undesirable minorities, I mean everyone, because that’s the only way this great land of ours can change. I’m JD Rebello and I approve this parenthetical.) I sit on the subway, and if some old lady with one leg and a bag of her own urine wants to sit, I laugh and laugh and stretch out while she cries and mumbles something like “Say a prayer for the youth of America.”
4. Sometimes, when peeing, that other bodily function kicks in. I’m just saying, it never hurt to be pre-emptive. Thanks for me teaching me values, President Bush.
5. I suck at the drip-dry. I don’t know what it is, but whenever I use a urinal, I seemingly exude every drip out of my piece, and as soon as I pull my pants off, a freakin’ yellow Mississippi goes rolling down my leg. Yeah that’s fun. "Sorry, sweetheart, date’s over. Why? Look at my pants!!!"
6. Personally, I think it makes me endearing. Girls are always bitching how they want guys to be more understanding. Well, what’s more understanding than peeing sitting down? It’s either this or I start wearing your underwear. Your call.

I'd totally go for the underwear... FAG.. HAHAHAHA
why dont you just tell the truth, and reveal to everyone you have an inverted penis which makes it impossible for you to urinate while standing up.....and to have sexual relations
Wait are you saying you use toilet paper to wipe off?
HAHAHAHA oh man you might as well go get that vaginoplasty, you're halfway there.
I wipe standing up! Not sure how that relates but I just needed to get it off my chest.
Have any of you ever cleaned a toilet after a man who pissed standing up used it? Yea, go do that once and then come back here and make fun of Justin.
I've cleaned 5 Toilets after 87 other fully grown men in Boot Camp, ya whiny bitch. It's one guy, get over yourself.
ALL OF YOU.
As for 'Justin'? Seems like he's got some problems with.. hand eye coordination, or.. penis eye.. w/e the fuck you want to call it. Sure sucks, oh well..
'least he was brave enough to post it online, apart from most of these faggots trying to endear him.
ALL OF YOU = Women.
Oh, and it seems I performed thread-necormancy.
Awesome.
bella23; are you european?
Wow...
what a faggot. Only a little boy with a micro penis could fit it between his legs to sit down and urinate. Apparently you dont get out much, because there is no way you can sit down in any bars bathroom. Its official you have a wide gaping vagina, now go finger yourself you homo
There are few more comfortable seats than the crapper. I'm with you, man. Standing up's great for those nasty-ass public shitters, but if it's your own throne, hell I say use it.
I sit down to piss too. Only at home or at a friend's house though.
Who cares if it's the faggy thing to do. No one's around to watch ... I hope.
Now the real problem for me is: when pissing outdoors, how do you direct the splashes of urine away from your shoes? Am I lacking in technique? Or is this a problem for everyone else too?
I take it no one else realized that Justin Rebello actually got away with writing a column about how he pisses. How in the hell is that possible? I guess this is what happens when you are the best writer on PIC; you are allowed to take breaks.
You rule.
Where is the Canadian? Did Justin have him fired? And why don't you get your articles in on time?
They say that a man who pees sitting down is more liberal. They also say that he's open to try new things. ;) ;) ;)
So he's got several possibilities here. Either he's kinky, attentive, or just plain freaky when the lights go out.
xoxoxoxo

Thank you for relaying to us unsuspecting females the complications of the Male Piss. Ps., I like how you compare peeing to throwing a basketball, and your penis to Shaq. spectacular.
Laughing, you pee sitting down? WTF? Didn't your dad show you how to piss like a man? Personally, you can pee however you like, but don't tell, because we don't really care. And, oh...I would like to see the reaction of the (about to be boned) girl laying naked on the bed, and her seeing you sit down to pee(relieving beer). And yes, if you have a hard-on, your dick's skin isn't suppose to have wrinkles. ;-) Grow up, grab your dick, and stand up for a good piss!
I guess it would be hard to piss standing up with your wrists all limp and stuff...Of course, if you can't put a little stream of piss into a gaping hole like a toilet, how do you eat? That takes far more hand/eye coordination...And any chick that thinks that it's "cute" for you to sit and pee HAS to be fat. You sir, are a pussy. Good day...I SAID GOOD DAY SIR!
Fucking homophobe. I hope your son grows up to be gay. Let's see how you handle his "limp wrists" you ignorantly asshole.
Actually its quiet normal in europe.
German male are actually encouraged to do this for hygein reasons. Also studies have shown that male who pee sitting down have a lower blood pressure then those who do it standing up. -_- I am quiet open to this idea, and wouldnt mind trying it out. unlike some posters here, Justin and many of us are not homophobes who are insecure about they masculinity.
Well, after reading the rest of the reader reviews I have to give you some credit for actually admitting you piss like my mother, grandmother, sister, and girlfriend. Apparently in this completely liberated society we live in this type of behavior is ok and valid. I really dont believe that you cant hit the toilet, that is unless your cock is microscopic and cant get the tweezers around the shaft to aim. Unless you are pissing in the dark it is incredibly simple to get it in the rather large ring. Even if it is dark you can use your auditory sense to hear if your piss is making it in the toilet. What is that terrible film Jack Nicholson pees sitting down? I do believe he does that because of his controlling wife---I cant wait to hear your stories after you get married---Pussywhipped at its Finest by Justin Rebello
its not funny but its a good article and thanks telling us
Hey girls, think of it this way...I am willing to bet a lot of cash that this guy never leaves the fuckin' toilet seat up. I have NEVER had to nag to my boyfriend about putting the rim down...
haha...amen brother...amen
That's pretty interesting actually, especially if you're being completely honest... whatever floats your boat.
my husband pees sitting down. It is awesome. Every woman I know complains about the piss their man sprays all over the bathroom.. not me :) No accidentally sitting down in the middle of the night in a dark bathroom on a toilet with the seat up and getting a wet cold bum either
I piss sitting down too. I can standing up but I usually dont.
I'm glad you do. You'll make a woman really happy one day, if you haven't already.
Sure. It's not the most 'manly' way to do things, but fuck society.
Besides, sitting in the bathroom is a good place to think.
1. How do you miss? You're aiming like a millimeter stream into a 2 square foot area.
2. Yeah, the President Bush thing doesn't help your point. At all.
3. I generally don't ask my girlfriend to come watch me pee, and even if I did, I seriously doubt she'd be like "I am so proud of you Andrew!"
Hahah. I like how upset some of the males like Goooose get about how you pee.
It seems that you're really letting them down, you know.
That's not weird of them at all. Nope.
I agree with your article... I sit when I'm at home and stand up when I'm in public. Even if I didn't, it's your own preference and I don't think it has anything to do with manliness. What worries me is the previously mentioned males whose manliness is so weak that they feel the need to defend it with something like how they pee.
I think what's weirder is -- as dan said -- all the men who actually give a fuck and are offended by how someone else pees.
Who are the real homos here?
It's also the Muslim's way to sit while urinating if possible.
I try my best to sit while urinating, except at really dirty public places.
Cheers
I pee sitting down, but then I put and leave the toilet seat up so my wife thinks that I pee standing up. She falls in and gets mad, but she deserves it because she tried to get me to pee sitting down.
What a matter you're all discussing about, peeing standing up or sitting down! So let me tell you some thing then, not bad if you know that in my culture the male people avoid peeing while standing! In my country it's so, as my religion has recommended not to pee while standing, and to do it while sitting or squatting. I know there, they teach the kid when he can stand up, how to pee while standing, but it's not so here. However, I am male and quite healthy, but I don't pee while standing. You should consider that there are many different ways around the world.
Why stand to pee? Why aim? Aiming is for the time when you are distant to your target and can't be close to it, but when you can be close to it, and if you are sane, you prefer being close to your target than aiming to the target, so sit down and be relaxed. One of the names of the place you are doing that in, is rest room! Human body needs resting once in a while and it is better to rest the times we don't do any special task that needs a focus of mind and energy. Peeing is not a job necessarily needs mind and energy, but still we can do it with using mind and energy (aiming and standing). I said when a work can be done without mind and energy too, it is better we save our mind power and energy for those really need them, and rest instead. (Not with one time of peeing, but with many times of peeing it will be something noticeable). And why you waste your time and energy in cleaning bathrooms? You can save it for more useful affairs by reducing the need of bathroom to be cleaned! Urine is sterile when it comes out of a healthy body, but as soon as it enters the outside milieu, the infections will start to appear in it as the time goes, since it is a good circumference for growing septic. And not only if the pee leaks other places it makes dirty, even if the pee is directed into the right place, when standing, its hitting the surface (of toilet water or inside the toilet) with more power and speed (because of the height) causes tiny drops spray in the area and sprinkles the places around, like the bathroom ground, and the clothes and shoes of the one is peeing, and also a lot of microscopic particles of pee will be diffused in the air, that can make pollution and dirty many things. Also when standing, because of the height, the pee flow meets much more air until it meets the surface, and therefore, its vapour will be made in the air (that's the pee smell) and it will be published in the air then. Of course one time of peeing standing can't make this kind of pollution, but with many times of peeing standing, the pollution of the place, air and the toilet seat will become noticeable, and then as a result it demands more times of cleaning which also wastes time and energy.
As for those who say "peeing while standing is much easier than doing it while sitting or squatting", I should say that bending over and pulling down pants, and keeping a part of panties down for a while and aim for a while both need an attempt; and the fact that which one is easier for a person depends on habit. The way in which one's habit is based on, is easier for that one, and to which you habit, it will be easier for you! And as for those who think "peeing while standing is of a few pleasures of a man!", I should say that a man is more valuable than way of peeing places as his pleasure and property! It does not fit a man to consider that as his worth! Men have more valuable special abilities to be mentioned! To my own, peeing while standing is a nasty action, also it does not feet a man's character, that's like you imagine a respectable man standing up still somewhere, his penis is hanging out and his pee line is in front of him, and then shaking the dong at the same position, it doesn't have a nice view. Specially, when a lot of urinals are in a public place in men's washroom, and a row of men have that view together, it's also nasty. I think in men's room, urinals should be in partitions having doors, like the toilets. So I meant its action is nasty. And a nasty action doesn't feet human's character, not only men's. Who made the rule that males MUST stand up while urinating? And don't link it to the nature, potentially many things are natural as an ability; one can bring out a gun, aim and kill, but he has choosing power, although he has the ability, but he may not do it if he is sane; one can just bring it out, aim and pee, but does it mean he can not do it in other ways? Being able to do some thing, doesn't allow doing it anytime and anywhere! You can easily imagine what happens if you use some of your abilities in wrong times or places! So when one can do some thing, s/he rationally has to do it the right time and right place. Now the question is "what's the right use of peeing standing up?" As God has made the ability of peeing while standing easily in guys, it must have an advantage, and yes it has. In men's jobs some times urgent situations happen, and some times they have to do some thing in a short time when the speed is important, and some times men have situations that they can't sit or squat or are in places where sitting or squatting is not easily possible; in such times they can use their ability of peeing while standing easily. But these urgent times just some times happen, not always! Peeing standing is an ability for both men and women of which the right use is in emergency conditions where sitting is impossible or harmful. So both men and women should do stand and pee when it's really needed, and when not needed it is better they sit. So I think there should be a project for men to stop, or to say better, manage peeing while standing. One group are already doing that and their site is: http://www.mapsu.org/ . As I mentioned, there are some occasions when it's needed to pee standing up, then it happens for both men and women! So what should women do? So easy, they can instantly pee standing up using a small device, one is here: http://www.travelmateinfo.com/page002.html .
One problem people usually have is that some of them are afraid of being made fun by other people, I think one should follow anything s/he think it is right. Everyone has an opinion and it's respectful for him/her. And other people's behaviour shouldn't stop anyone having his/her own opinion, other people don't have the right to stop anyone doing anything according to his/her opinion. That's an affect of freedom, and if the freedom of thought exists somewhere, people shouldn't be afraid of how other people think about what they do. And if there's not, then there should be a 'change', if not, then one has to live how other people want, not how s/he wants! I think a rational person shouldn't be afraid of being the target of other peoples closed minds.
So as a conclusion, the best way is to teach your sons to sit as usual, and allow them to stand when needed, and then, you won't need to be in the trouble of teaching them aiming, because when standing is needed it's a situation like the toilet is dirty or there's urinal or there's an outside condition, and then no aiming is required. Anyways, I'm not going to impose this on you, still you can do anyhow you know better, I just brought some reasons why I asked you this although there are much more reasons I didn't mention them here. One more reason I can mention is if your son stands and pees and you have small daughter(s) too, his standing has some affects on his sisters. You know, to grown people it may be no matter what happens, but small children's souls and specially female soul are sensitive and even such things are great issues to them. Her sisters, when they find they can't easily stand and pee, they feel sad when they see their brother pees standing as usual. And small girls never show their sadness in such situations, they hide it from you but they deeply take affect from the matter, and you won't see her crying since she's hiding it. Of course not allowing her to watch her brother pee won't solve the problem, be sure your daughter knows it, you can ask her if you're doubting, remind that you can't follow your daughter everywhere all the time to see when she watches it and when she doesn't! Yes she has accepted the bodily functions but she hasn't accepted why her brother has too pee standing all the time when he can easily sit on the toilet and point down his dong, still if you don't believe you can ask her. Well, it was one of other reasons, and I think it will be great if the current way of peeing of guys in toilets and bathrooms, in the most parts of the world changes. I think if some of the issues like this become reformed, we'll have a better world.
Hey id just like to say Ali (person with the massive post) is actually being smart and serious about the subject.
pissing standing up is just a thing most men think they are MEANT to do when in reality they dont have to but they should if its a dirty area.
So yea thanks to ALI for proving the point and cya
God that was a big post
But yeah I do that too sometimes
Especially at home, that's just due to my laziness
Props for honesty
Fuck society and insecure douches who are like:
Ooo you better piss standing up!
I bet they do it sitting down sometimes too
They're just to insecure to admit their quirks
hahaha
First off, I do both...I pee standing up sometimes, and sitting down..sometimes. Just depends if I'm sleepy ..or gotta crap...or just don't want to stand or whatever.
on a side note..Ali ..bro...grab a grammar book..quick! :)
Ok,all of you people saying how could he possibly fit it between his legs and stuff like that.It is possible retards..
And also it is way cleaner and sanitary if you pee sitting down because,you don't pee on the seat and also wiping is also WAY better because you get all that excess that is trapped behind your foreskin(if you are not circumsized).Another thing is,your all calling him such a HOMO..Ok your all the HOMOs for peeing standing up and spraying all over the seat and NOT even cleaning up after yourselves!Come on it is obviously the best way to use the rest room over all..I pee sitting down and my girlfriend does not mind.She even thinks it is cleaner because she does not have to suffer like the millions of other women who have to wipe up there boyfriends,or husbands pee afterwards.
cheers!
I spend much of my time at home wearing a robe and nothing else. In which case I pee sitting down, like the author of this post. That way splash and aiming errors are nonproblems.
I do it standing up only when I am fully dressed. Out in the world, I use urinals standing up, for sure and no problems.
Somebody above expressed puzzlement about how to keep the stuff off his shoes when doing it outdoors. Simple: stand with the feet at least 2 feet apart. Then aim the thing straight down.
I am uncut. A grown man should not pee through his foreskin unless he is sitting down. Don't pee through the foreskin is you plan to get up and close and personal with a lady love without taking a shower first.
When I get turned on, I soon get choked up with precum. Then bits of precum dry in the meatus. And soon my aim goes straight to hell, even if I pull the foreskin all the way back. I've been know to start peeing on my shoes while using a public urinal. I don't have this problem in recent years, but I'm not sure what I am doing different.
