    Sitter here.

    I have toddlers, twins. They get mesmerised by the laminar flow in the wee and try to grab it.

    I guess before I had kids I would wonder why the kids are present for this event but toddlers are super busy, super active, and super curious. You can be watching them juggle knives in the kitchen or whatever and decide to just take a moment to go wee and slink away and they just kinda teleport to your location and try to grab your wee stream.

    If you’re sitting then you have both hands available to fend off curious hands.

    The one trick that I rely on multiple times a day is redirection. “Don’t touch daddies wee” translates to “daddies wee is super interesting”. However, “Look at this amazing square of toilet paper” is received more or less as stated.

    I’m at work now but when I get home I will shatter the sit to pee/stand to pee binary. I will lay down to pee and achieve enlightenment.

    This is gonna sound… ok… Here goes… I cannot sit. My penis is so long it hits the bowl. When I poop, I have to hold it up.

    I’m not kidding when I say a “big dick” is not fun. It REALLY is not.

    So many examples of it not being fun…

      Maybe you could start using the adult sized toilets rather than the kiddies ones?

        I have actually found that the American ones are filled way too high with water. Like mostly full it’s crazy.

        So while I’m not a big guy myself I’ve had a couple really unwelcome dips while sitting down on what are, imho, overfilled bowls.

        What I usually do is take a bit of toilet paper and sort of use my hand to park the kit under my butt cheek.

        I dunno, I feel like there should be a class for this because now I wonder if I’m doing it wrong.

          All said in jest. Congrats on the length, sorry about the toilet discrimination. Justice for massive schlongs solidarity.

    Dude needs to drink more water of he’s only peeing once a day.

    Personally I typically only sit at night when I’m tired and don’t want to turn the lights on

      I was stand wiper as a kid cause i never knew any better i guess. Someone told me you could reach around and clean before the cheeks close together and it blew my mind and I’ve never looked back.

      Sit wiping is for casual easy going wiping.

      If we’re getting serious, I’m gonna be standing up and spreading the cheeks with one hand.

        Sometimes on hot days I’ll just go into a bathroom and give it a good swipe, just to clear the ass sweat out.

    I mostly sit but I think the downsides are downplayed.

    In my old age of creeping towards 40 my stream has died down a little, but no splash ?

    There is splash. Even with my pathetic old man pressure there is splash. It doesn’t go on the floor. it goes on my thighs and under the toilet seat.

    Before when I was young and virile it was a big issue and very uncomfortable to veeeeeery gently let a portion of my stream out over a long time.

    There’s also the issue of not accidentally booping the porcelain with the tip.

    Granted its nice to have a sit down alone, and with measures taken it can even be nice, but its not a clear cut winner.

    Also peeing freely outside is of course the best. Or from something very high up.

    No splashback.

    No aiming.

    Sometimes the tip touches the bowl and you feel like you should get tested… even at home…

        If you’ve never had that happen then be glad. But I wonder if you have a big toilet or small pp

          Don’t know how the toilets work in your country/neck of the woods, but 'round here there’s a good 8-10 inches clearance between the water and my ass. I ain’t hung like a fuckin donkey.

            The tip touches the cheramic inside of the bowl in the upper part of the toilet, not the water

            In bathrooms built before 2000 are all too short my tall ass. In the summers my balls would touch the water cuz it is so hot.
