Knew a dude in high school that claimed he didn't masturbate because touching a dick, even his own, was gay.

We used to ask him how he aimed when he pissed.

[–] greenskye@lemm.ee 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Sat down to pee so he wouldn't have to touch it

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago (3 children)

The germans have a word for men who sit down to pee - sitzpinkler.

It also has the highest proportion of men who self-report sitting down to pee in Europe.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago (2 children)

In the same vein I think men who don't sit down to pee at home because Its jot manly are just sad and probably don't clean their wc

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

I'm a big advocate for the sitzpinklers! Sometimes it just makes more sense.

I'm the one cleaning the toilet in the house, so I pee like I damn well please.

I put the seat back down when I'm done though (like 90% of the time)

[–] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

cuz it makes less of a mess, and is more comfortable. it's called the "toilet seat" for a reason.

When my husband and I started living together I actually told him that he had really bad aim and I don't like having to sit in his piss. And that if he insisted on standing while peeing out of some weird sense of manliness, then I would choose not to clean up the mess he leaves behind all the time, so let's see how fast it accumulates!

I especially don't get it in your own home. There aren't any other men around, so no need to act 'manly' and all it does is force you to clean it more often, which, come to think of it, probably also isn't 'manly' so what? Do they just not clean their own toilets? Ew.

Anyway, dirty toilet seats are a choice. Any time you're forced to use a toilet with piss all over it, it was someone's choice to not care about the next person using the toilet. Many people have accepted it as normal, "it's just what happens" - no, it is a choice. I still can't believe my mother accepted it all those years, tbh. :p

My husband also said it has extra advantages to sit, like being able to pet our cats. So there you have it. Oh and we've lived in Germany for a couple of years now, and I was not at all surprised they have a special word for it. Germans have words for everything.

I don't like sitting to pee but i also aim when i pee and I lift the lid and seat before hand and if i do make a splah on the rim then i grab some toilet paper and wipe it off

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

The problem is that about 90% of home toilets are not penis compatible and come with a significant risk of brushing up against the inner rim where even the cleanest toilets rarely get cleaned. If everyone could agree to install elongated toilets, I'll start sitting, but until then, I'll stand when faced with the standard compact round fellow.

Guy I know won't wash his asshole when showering cause touching an asshole is gay, of course.

Meanwhile he'll moon me sometimes as a joke. People are strange

[–] GreasyTengu@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Knew a guy who wouldn't wipe his ass because he thought it was gay, he took a shower every time he shat at home and used the sprayer head to blast it off. There were brown flecks on his shower walls. If he had to shit while he was out, he would just marinate in his butt butter until he got home.
