A survey by a top Japanese toilet manufacturer has found that the number of men who urinate sitting down has increased 10% in the last 5 years, to 33.4%. 10% apparently admitted they did so because their wives or mothers told them to.
The 2009 market survey, by Toto, found that since 2004 the number of men sitting on western style toilets to urinate increased 10%, from 23.7% to 33.4%, with only 57% still preferring to stand.
Reasons given were as follows:
1. To stop urine splashing around (69.5%)
2. It is more comfortable (45.5%)
3. It is easier to clean up (43.1%)
4. Was told to by family or similar (10.8%)
Standers in contrast overwhelming gave “Because that’s how you do it” as their response, with 82.2% saying so. Comfort and quickness both trailed with 20%.
There are of course some who are beginning to wonder about Japanese menfolk…

I SIT DOWN WHEN I PEE.
THERE'S NOTHING THAT CRAZY ABOUT ME.
I'M JUST TAKING A WIZ.
AND MIND YOUR OWN BIZ!
WHY IS EVERYBODY ALWAYS STARING AT ME?
You're trap
I don't want to touch my penis in vain
It's very funny to pee standing without touching a penis! I'm periodically playing in that game. :)
^1+ you made me laugh so fucking hard man!
Actually, sitting on toilets to urinate is good for your prostate.
I loev my prostate!
But don't touch it! ;-)
i always sit when i piss, its nice :D
i only do that when i take a dump
it seems that Jap men are becoming less man
No, it just means they are turning into Shinji. They can't aim, so what do they do?
They run away from the problem! By sitting!
well, i am sitting too, its easier too read porn/magazines/newspaper/manga on toilet.
8-[ o]
You want to read always when you go to toilet?.. Even for 10 seconds?
If you think or say "It is more comfortable", then you are GAY FOR SURE !
"It is more comfortable".
NO WAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
NO FUCKING WAYYYY!!!!
in the mean time the number of women peeing while standing has increased...
I don't get what's the big fucking problem here... Just because a man chooses to sit while he takes a piss, that makes him unmanly?
I'm saying this myself because I personally don't give a flying shit: sometimes I sit, and sometimes I stand.
IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER HOW YOU TAKE A PISS. AS LONG AS YOU RELEASE YOUR FLOODGATES WHEN THE BLADDER IS FULL. THE PISS IS THE MAIN POINT GODAMNIT, NOT THE POSITION YOU DO IT IN.
I can't cross streams while sitting
You must not cross streams if you want every molecule of your body bursts at the speed of light.
Am I the only one who piss while squatting on a sitting toilet when there is time. Just never got used to the western toilets after 20 years of squat toilet.
Very valid reason to sit down, so it doesn't splash everywhere to find pee stains the next day appear >_O
It also speaks volumes of your poor aim.
what the hell?...then sit in the men urinals then..see if that's comfortable =_=
That's cause their toilets are holes in the ground.
Germany has the stickers by th toilet of a man standing and peeing with a X through it, i usually say fuck it and pee on the seat at that point
I have always done it sitting down. I grew up in a state where I was pretty much afraid to stand at a urinal. In a stall, I have plenty of escape routes in case of emergency, I can readily defecate, and best of all; I sure as hell won't miss my target.
Plus, knock twice for free TP. Always a nice little courtesy trick for when you have brown next to you instead of white.
Sitting to pee it's just gay. Splashing is manly!
i piss only into a woman's open throat. if i cant find one i will hold it in.
My country had a similar article last year but the main cause is different from this article. The article, critic ed that men Urinated sitting down (in public toilets because of privacy.
If you're a real man,you have perfect aim all the time.
If you're a real man you have splash back all the time. l2piss moron.
Peeing while sitting is the ultimate form of male laziness, surpassing ever the beer gut tip.
My answers to this.....
1. To stop urine splashing around (69.5%)
* obviously Their penis are small... or short... to be exact.... Or maybe they have sex change already??!!
2. It is more comfortable (45.5%)
* Obviously..... they are gals... as they have never stand-pee before...... or maybe they are trained to be girls???*
3. It is easier to clean up (43.1%)
* Clean up what???? Your Foreskin??? MEN AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE CLEANING THE TOILET!!!*
4. Was told to by family or similar (10.8%)
*What are you? Mama's Boy??? If they tell you to commit suicide you will do it immidiately?*
So... For the conclusion.... If you cant train yourself to aim with your penis....or with an intact foreskin.... get a circumcision.... or straight for a sex change.... I can pee well all over the place and the usual target is the dogs rubber duck.... hahaha.... with my foreskin intact!!!
Dutch user here.
After many years standing up peeing in toilet, i realized avoiding splashing is not easy.
In the Netherlands there are 2 models: old model closet where hole is in front, and new model where hole is in the middle.
Old models are still in many buildings, and they're really pain in the ass. They splash always whatever you try to aim carefully. The easy reason is high speed falling down your pee = splashing always.
The new model is better, but you hear more sounds when peeing in the hole with water, and there is still splashing chance.
Sitting down reduces speed falling down pee very much and thus almost splash-free.
Urine is sterial, but if you don't clean up, it gives bad air. Enough reasons to sit down, and it's more comfortable.
I live with my mother and sister at home and I rather prefer sittiong while peeing than having to clean it, also it makes less noise, so it's better in order not to wake up people at home
It also makes less noise if you close the doors. You have nothing to clean if you can aim.
My brother is a real man. Rather than peeing in the toilet, which he will need to flush, he goes outside and pees on the flowers in front of the house.
1. Save water
2. Fertilize the plants
3. Preserve manliness
I'm currently building a house and instructed the builder to install water-free urinals in the master bedroom toilet. If they end up not doing it, I'll have to install it myself. I've seen those things in malls and am really impressed at how those porcelain things keep themselves dry and smell-free.
Feels good.man
While I was a "home security guard" NEET living with my grandma, I used to always just pee off the balcony. Daily. For 2 years. GOOD TIMES!
Ok I have pee at a wall,tire,bottle (a tough one),milk bottle,bush(flowers,tree etc),pillar and I only pee sitting down when I take a dump.The only conclusion I can come up with is "habit"
Ya'll 're so obsessed with masculinity you must surely be homosexual.
Can this be compared to the prevalence of phimosis? That could potentially make things messy... avoidable but messy.
If you sit down, you can't BLAST IT WITH PISS
damn...i knew thosed damn japs have no balls! that is a lose of manhood! sitting down? this is a philisophical shame! next men will be where skirts to have eaiser access during hourly prostate exams!
so cultures have the balls with no shaft! others have the shaft with no balls! these damned punks have 2 sets of genitals! A VAGINA AND A PUSSY!
heck do they find it weird, i mean if it weren't for that i wouldn't have the time to read books, and i read a lot.
Maybe they're sitting because they can't reach the toilet while standing? they're short you know...
Always been taking a piss while standing, but while having huge hardon at the morning then I might consider taking a piss sitting.
"A rat can't bite your penis if you piss standing up."
Hey! Maybe I just coined a "Wisdom for the ages" quote...????
I try to avoid urinating sitting down in public bathrooms because some people like to leave "present/presents". >_>
But yea, sitting down is less awkward and for lazy bums like me and there's a chance someone will do a quick peek. <_<

Wow, the naivety of those arguing for standing up is exactly like listening to Americans arguing why it's okay to wear shoes inside their house.
That blows that stereotype out of the water then. I tend to walk around my house barefoot.
I never would have imagined folks would get so worked up about this. I pee standing up by the way.
1. they cant aim
2. its a quick piss! no need for comfort
3. aiming is key
4. its a freakin quick piss, wastes time by going to sit down
Well that's not weird, i have to urine when i am taking a dump as well, don't expect me to stand to take a dump >_>
They sure have hypospadia,,,
Big deal. I've always done this because I got tired REAL early in my life of getting piss all over myself while trying to pee standing up.
This isn't anything 'strange'.... the fact is that most men and boys that I know pee sitting down now.
It would be best if I peed sitting down, I'm just too lazy and don't want to waste time pulling my pants down. I just make sure to try my best to lean over the toilet and make sure it all goes in the best I can. Besides, while listening to podcasts on my mp3 player, I tend to mop up the bathroom and do other sorts of cleaning at least three or four days out of the week. My bathroom is always very clean, I assure you.
pic or didn't happen
WTF???
You cant even pee the way you want?
I can pee while sitting or flying, that does not make me anything
Although I think its more polite to pee while setting seeing how ditry public WCs are nowadays
Funny thing is women want to urinate standing. It's so fun when you have the ability to concentrate fire on everything you want, even ceiling XD Personally I urinate sitting, only when i need to shit.
I do that too every once in a while for convenience sake. I mean, I'm already aiming at the toilet bowl while sitting down to defecate! Might as well let go of the bladder!
"It is easier to clean up (43.1%)"
Clean up what?
obviously you never clean any toilet
If they know how to aim, it wouldn't be so difficult to clean up now, would it?
what is this faggotry? i've lost all faith in japanese men. this isn't even up for debate, the correct way to piss is to fucking stand up. that's one of the main reasons you have a penis for in the first place, fucktards
^virgin
No, you have a penis for reproduction. You know, sex and the resultant offspring? That's why men have a penis. Not so they can stand up while taking a piss.
Take a biology class once. Seriously.
And you, go take a Comedy class already. Seriously, I can tell from your comment that your face should look like that of somebody who constantly got constipation or diarrhea, so do me a favor, go ask Gintoki-sama to cure your fucking asshole problems by sticking his shining toes into your GDODAMN hole, okay?
you, go take an insult class, that was just appalling.
faggots, all of you.
Just because they couldn't pick up the seat and the lid as one unit and pee on the side of the toilet blow to make the water spin before the flush, and then they couldn't put both the seat and the lid back down? Open your eyes, men only pee sitting down when taking a dump.
Whats so weird about that? I urinate sitting down too. =)
Ofc not outside or at urinals... xD
I do that when I also need to defecate.
in japan women piss standing up and men piss sitting down.
I urinate sitting down only if I plan to do #2 at the same time. Never use public toilets though.
piss outside. no splashing, no clean up.
oh yeah, stand while you're at it
I sitting too, because... I live with a woman.
You'll know what I mean one day, maybe
Harsh dude.
I like it. :P
Let me guess:
1) She's your mom and told you to do so
2) She's a feminist
3) You piss after her while the seat is still warm
4) You piss together
5) You have MPD and the woman is actually you
3, and often on each other.
I think you mean 4 moron
i have a vagina
I do too, we've been dating for 4 months now.
I'm more of number 3.. sometimes...
most of the time, I do stand up to pee... it's just that I'm too lazy to clean the toilet when I'm done.. I just wanna flush it and be done with it..
WHO GIVES A FUCKING SHIT
Those that aren't shitting but pissing? Hell if I know
I think some people put a little bit too much thought on how to urinate.
Fuck yer, Norio pic is smexy.
None of that has ever happened to me
"1. To stop urine splashing around"
What? You're supposed to be as loud and messy as you can.
If the urine is splashing around in where it's not supposed to go to, the fellow has poor aim and needs target practice!
Pener as are small, hahahahahahahahahahaha xD
