Don’t forget fragile masculinity and not wanting to sit down to piss because that’s how women do it.

[–] morgan_423@lemmy.world 80 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Oh, you've got a behavior there, but the wrong motivation.

I sit at home, but I don't sit on public toilets precisely because dudes have been whizzing all over the seat.

And this is why god invented the paper ass gasket

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Exactly, don't even sit on it to shit. That's what core muscles are for

[–] DrQuint@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

This is the way.

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ahhh you're trying to culture war this when the actual reason is way more sensible and boring than that. Why sit on a potentially dirty toilet seat when you don't have to? Why even squat above it when you don't have to? It's laziness / efficiency, dear, not.... πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ™„... fragile masculinity.

I work in construction, half the men have dirty asses cause its gay to touch your asshole. I wish I was exaggerating.

Okay.. how did you get to know about their dirt asses?

I'll give your straight coworkers that one, none of the gay men I know talk about their assholes.

No it's both you should see the amount of men who physically recoil when I tell them I sit to pee

Fuck that, I love sitting down to piss. It's like a free break AND I get to let the boys out for a few minutes?

The only times I won't are when the bathroom is already filthy, or the toilet water is too high and my junk goes for a dunk if I sit.

You either have an annoying plumbing problem or a massive piss lizard. I guess both is possible too.

[–] Getawombatupya@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago

Yank toilets have this wierd bowl design, where there's like 2 litres of water in the bowl at all times

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not going to brag, but my junk hangs low. I'm also in the US. Some toilets are ridiculously full by default, especially older models.
