Gentlemen, it is with great displeasure that I must inform you that we’re doing it wrong.

    The title should be prepended with the word: Older. Sitting to pee is better for men with prostate issues.

      I regularly sit down to pee because the toilet in my van has a divider which diverts all the solids to the back and the liquids to a storage tank in the front. Good to know it’s also healthy for my prostate.

        My bathroom is carpeted. I’ve sat to pee for years, and now default to it everywhere. Plus, fewer issues with drippage.

          My problem is that I drip when I stand up even after I’m “finished”. It feels easier to get every last drop out when I stand up.

          Also, I could never have carpet in my bathroom. That just sounds like a breeding ground for mold and mildew just from the humidity of showering even if you are sitting down to avoid sprinkling droplets of pee everywhere.

            Protip: when you’re done, doesn’t matter sitting or standing, push on your taint. It often helps clear the plumbing and prevents dripping. Was a life changer when I found that trick.
