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!
i only do that when i take a dump
it seems that Jap men are becoming less man
No, they just gained some intelligence! Indeed, therels less time to spend at cleaning the toilets then.
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!
Actually, sitting on toilets to urinate is good for your prostate.
I loev my prostate!
But don't touch it! ;-)
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?
in the mean time the number of women peeing while standing has increased...
what the hell?...then sit in the men urinals then..see if that's comfortable =_=
We weren't talking about urinals specially made in order to piss while standing. We were talking about the usual WC seats.
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.
Fuck you, tiny dick! Mine is too big so I can't aim so well. It is just as fast, easier, more hygienic and more comfortable to sit.
If you think or say "It is more comfortable", then you are GAY FOR SURE !
Ummm… man, you're victim of stereotypes. It's actually really easier to pee when you sit on the toilets. It's better for the prostate (where the sperm is produced), you don't have to aim anymore (unless you're having an erection, then it's a bit difficult), and it's an opportunity to sit if you're tired!
It is easier and better for every man to pee while sitting!
"It is more comfortable".
NO WAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
NO FUCKING WAYYYY!!!!
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.
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.
Sitting to pee it's just gay. Splashing is manly!
Above all splashing is just fucking disgusting
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.
i piss only into a woman's open throat. if i cant find one i will hold it in.
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
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.
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.
i always sit when i piss, its nice :D
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
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.
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"
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.
Peeing while sitting is the ultimate form of male laziness, surpassing ever the beer gut tip.
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!
Im sure its just lack of space.
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!
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. <_<

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.
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 >_>
