          Analyze the form factor of toilet. Is it one of those round ones that’s sized for potty-training a child? Emergencies only. The bowl deep enough and water low enough? Push dick down with one hand, hope Poseidon doesn’t kiss your willy. Stand up far to wipe, don’t sit down too fast. Try not to piss under the seat.

          Prefer to avoid public restrooms for shits, stand up to pee.

            i’m a bit confused on the geometry here. how can one risk both dipping ones dick in the drink, and peeing under the seat?

              The seat is the problem not the water. You have to make a choice with some variety of toilets, touch the seat or get splashed. Obviously try to stay far enough away from both, but the point is, standing up is far easier than playing this game.

        I’m not well endowed, at best I’m average… at best. But while I don’t touch the water, I hit the front of the bowl. It’s disgusting to feel the cold porcelain.

        • Cleaner for your penis: sitting down eliminates the last drops remaining that are common when standing up
        • Cleaner for the bathroom: zero risk foreskin messing up your aim and having pee hit areas that don’t get washed by the flush
        • Better urine elimination for men that have prostate issues or lower urinary tract symptoms. I don’t, but it’s a factor
        • More chill to sit down and check your phone while in the bathroom

            No, I’m talking about where the urine hits the toilet. If it hits a part that doesn’t get washed by the flush, the urine dries out there and smells.

        I find sitting easier than standing. It requires less attention (atleast if you have standards of the waste actually being in the pot).

        do you like, have severe knee pain or something? that’s the only way i can see it being more difficult to sit down.

          Even when sitting down we have to aim the nozzle manually, so it’s just sitting down for a moment then getting up, which normally is more work than standing there for a moment.

          And (at least for me), it is more comfortable peeing standing up (albeit that might be because of a lifetime of doing it like that).

          Another compromise is to pee in the shower. or better yet, on there indoor plants, this way we don’t need to water them.

          Just the need of undoing your pants/belt already makes it easier to stand up.

          And some seats have that front opening, which helps, otherwise there’s often not much room to pee sitting down.

          Then there’s also some people who prefer to cover the seat with toilet paper before sitting down.

          It’s easier to stand up.

            Magic trick: With a skirt/kilt you don’t need to undo the belt!

            Also isn’t the intersection of needing to undo ones belt and needing the front opening rather small?

            Just leave the lid up and sit on the actual bowl itself
