Why Can?t Men Aim?

Cause your stuff hangs. Therefore its wasting effort to sit, position then sit back up, grab yourself and put it all back away. With standing, you can just slide down your underwear/boxers, let it flip out, then flip it back in, and you dont even have to touch it or get your hands dirty.

I acutally know several people that dont wash their hands cause they do that. Yes, I find it disgusting too, and I dont shake hands iwth them unless they go back and wash them or use hand sanatizer where I can see them.

... plus... what if you get attacked? Its easier to fight of an assailant when you're standing then it is when you're sitting. Why do you think we feel so vulnerable when you poo?

We do aim, but it's difficult.

Think of a hose, you can give the direction in which it will go but it isn't always perfectly accurate is it? Men have that sort of problem but with more inaccuracies because penises don't have smooth, perfectly circular, metallic holes to get the piss out.

As we're not paying attention though, and are usually looking down on a dark floorAdmiring our magnificent manhood; it's easy to miss potential splashes in case you go looking.

A side effect of this is that men will often start flushing half way through the operation, and try to beat the flush finishing to finish off.

I've never done this in my life, and I never got why people do it.

This is disgusting in public toilets. There are apparently a bunch of man rules about which urinal you should take in a public bathroom. I always ignore those and just go to the toilet with the smallest pee puddle underneath it. Some guys clearly overestimate the length of their unit and don't stand close enough.

You know, I once went to a public restroom where they had installed a blacklight in the ceiling of the stalls. What the hell? I didn't need to see all that...

Exactly. But why is it we must stand? It just is that way. Why do we men have such a strong urge to pee standing?

I pee sitting down, because I DONT CARE, and from my disloyalty to doing it standing up, I have physically FORGOTTEN how.

Spoiler: How can you do such a thing?!

Are you not a proper gentleman?

Sometimes one just underestimates the pressure and ends up overshooting, have you ever squeezed a toothpaste tube by accident and lost a load of it? It's not unlike that.

Edit:

Some do, I've seen pictures. *shudder*

Fucking split streams dammit! I had a quad stream going once.
Ok, so I'm tall and small, the impact of the piss hitting the water has little piss particles that sprinkle everythign.

You know, I was considering that evolutionary explanation when I wrote the last post, and I figure it is very likely. Still, does really the tiny bit of effort you save make up for the effort you have to make cleaning up?

Do any of you guys ever get the shivers when you pee a huge stream? Sometimes I think I lose some body heat when peeing a large amount at once, and so mid stream, I get the shivers for a couple seconds and shave from side to side and so I sometimes make a mess by accident...Is this just me?

Your body actually spends extra energy to keep your piss warm while it's still in your bladder, causing it to be slightly warmer than your core temperature. When you vacate it from your body, your body has to adjust to the sudden lack of heat and you shiver to cause your body to vibrate, thus, warming yourself up.

SCIENCE!

EDIT: For those wondering where I learned that: Scouts/Boy Scouts (for you americans). It was apart of our winter camping stuff we needed to know. You're supposed to make sure to go to the bathroom right before you sleep when camping in the winter so your body doesn't waste energy warming your pee up.

 

[JoshGod]

I'll have you know that i can aim and I have you in my sights... responded to quickly.
OT
Mostly i'm fine, if however i miss or there are splashes I clean it up, i mean it takes a few seconds, and I thought I was lazy.

Hey, here's a thought: sit down and all of a sudden it's not a problem anymore. Logic is an amazing thing.

Okay. You try sitting down on a full ring toilet seat with morning wood and see how much you get in the bowl. Even if you manage to slide it in underneath the front of the seat, the weird angle denies you the ability to urinate.

I know this because waking up and having to both pee and poop at the same time really sucks. You either stand first and feel like you're about to poop standing up, or you sit and you can't really pee. Not fun.

You know, I once went to a public restroom where they had installed a blacklight in the ceiling of the stalls. What the hell? I didn't need to see all that...

Holy hell, that sounds like the worst idea ever. Yuck. Seriously, wtf were they thinking?

If that's true, thank you very much. I've been looking for an answer to the post-micturition convulsion syndrome. Is it related to the "Someone's walked over my grave" shiver or the "That's a great piece of music" shiver though?

To make things worse, I had to poo, and just to top it off, I paid $2 to use the toilet in the first place.

Ahhh, interesting! I knew it too! And I told my coworker once and he was like "No, that never happens, that makes no sense" and I tried to explain why I thought it did that (body kept pee warm, pee leaves, body loses heat), but he wouldn't have that. I didn't know about sleeping in the winter, even though I'm inside I'll try that method and maybe stay warmer at night.

Blacklights are usually there to stop you being able to see your veins; and thus preventing use of drugs that need to be injected. Most modern public toilets include blacklights as standard.

OT: Well, drunk because err... we're drunk.

LOL!
I refuse to accept this for the drunk answer. Even when I'm in a complete state, as a Woman, I don't just slid off the toilet and piss all over me/the seat/floor.

Then you've never been truly drunk. Then and only then do you know you've had enough.

OT: I'll put another vote behind the "Sometimes it comes out crooked" consensus. Splashing does occur too.

Well I like to believe its cause if some ninja jumps you in the middle of thenight while you're taking a piss you can just turn around and ***** slap them. Thats a bit harder sitting on the toilet.

Also, if you want to believe in the evolution (i've been feeling a need to add this, cause I got called out by a bunch of jesus freaks on another website when I siad believing in it without the if), considering that our ancestors used to run and piss at the same time, it makes sense for us to stand. Mainly cause it is alot more effort (EDIT) to stop, sit, and then get back up and run, and doesnt fit with the whole male persona we have to have around women.

Anyway, think about it this way. With girls, its easy to sit because they're stuff is pointed down, straight. Mens are straight at an angle. And if you think about it, when most men pee, they're stuff hardens or straightens, so thats awkward when it hits the cold of the bowl and your right up against it. and that the men's legs are close (as I would assume most people's are) when they sit to go, that pinches the skin from time to time (at least the top) and makes.

Finally, and I kid you not, this is what my friend just said. he doesnt sit (even when he poos, dont ask me how he does it cause I dont wnat to know) because he doesnt wnat this balls to touch the water.

Yeah but it might be hot if you did ahhhhhhhhhh jk
lol sometimes I'll even lift up my leg. Hey maybe canines know something I don't, and this is one way to fight cancer. I feel like I'm one with the cosmos

but to answer your questions
1.) I believe they can aim.
2.) That particular fellow is too drunk to care, or notice. Or is an arse.
3.) Yes, in terms of the privy, you are unlucky, I'd wager. Never take a bet in the bathroom.
4.) I dont think so, if we stood too far back, it would become too much of a sport, we would never miss.
5.) Probably
6.) Nope, I have nothing more than suppositions. Good luck! remember, no bathroom bets

Well once I did a piss and it went out horizontally, how the hell it did that I have no idea.

Gaddam that made me laugh out loud

 

[similar.squirrel]

This has never really happened to me. I always urinate with the seat up, though. A good friend of mine splashes tap-water on the seat occasionally to annoy his family. It's become a sort of running prank which makes me snigger every time I hear about it. Either that, or he's actually widdling on the seat..

Really? Couldn't there be some other solution that did not cause me to see every single spot of... unidentified liquid... on the toilet seat?
