    Just as soon as people quit pissing on it.

    I supposedly go to work in a building with other adults.

      Men who stand to piss has never had to clean the bathroom. It’s standard in Germany to sit when pissing. It’s also healthy for men, so if you’re standing, especially at home, sit the fuck down!

          I’d recommend that you sit, just because it’s healthier for you. But you do you!

              Shown in this study, men should sit due to the splashback, which will travel throughout the bathroom, and will land on your toothbrush, where bacteria will grow (tip: keep your toothbrush in a cupboard or similar).

                For the 1st one:

                Eleven articles were included. In men with LUTS, a significantly lower PVR (−24.96 ml; 95%CI −48.70 to −1.23) was shown in sitting position compared to standing. In accordance, Qmax was increased (1.23 ml/s; 95%CI −1.02 to 3.48), and TQ was decreased (−0.62 s; 95%CI −1.66 to 0.42) in sitting position, although these differences did not reach statistical significance. In healthy men, Qmax (0.18 ml/s; 95% CI −1.67 to 2.02), TQ (0.49 s; 95%CI −3.30 to 4.27) and PVR (0.43 ml; 95%CI −0.79 to 1,65) were similar in sitting and standing position.

                So that others don’t have to go read it to find out, LUTS is Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms. Right off the bat, if you don’t have a LUTS, this doesn’t appear to apply to you. Further, it even says there was no statistical significance for those with LUTS or healthy men.

                The conclusion:

                For healthy men, no difference is found in any of the urodynamic parameters. In patients with LUTS, the sitting position is linked with an improved urodynamic profile.

                For the 2nd, I didn’t get past the title:

                Urine Is Not Sterile: Use of Enhanced Urine Culture Techniques To Detect Resident Bacterial Flora in the Adult Female Bladder

                This seems to be about female bladders. I could be wrong here but I do think we were talking about males standing to pee. The words “sitting”, “standing”, and “male” make no appearance in the study.

                This is a strange topic to have such a strong opinion about to have no good proof for.

    why are people wiping toilet seats with toilet paper?

    especially washlets where you’re definitely sitting down to enjoy the seat heating??

      Too impatient to wait for the Japanese toilet to blow my freshly-bideted asshole dry, but polite enough to wipe up the questionably poopy water that drips from it when I stand up too soon.

        why is the water still poopy?? rinse more!

        and just use the TP to dab your butt dry, rather than letting it drip and then wiping up the drips!

      When I go to a public toilet, I usually clean the seat with the spray hanging on the wall by using toilet paper.
