If you properly close a toilet seat/lid, everyone has to open it before using it, I don’t see what the big deal is
Also, if it’s not a weird toilet seat that doesn’t have a lid, you should be putting it down to reduce the number of particles that get into the air…
A lot of public toilets don’t have a cover.
Umm, the word is “pooticles”
That not how that works look at the myth busters episode

not with morning wood
Why do you have morning wood at a public toilet
I cannot believe my morning erections are being judged by trash girlfriend.
I am literally trash girlfriend and Ive never had morning wood at a public toilet
I feel like if I judge you its gotta be a good reason at that point
One day you will go to a public toilet to realize you have morning wood, then you will understand the struggle.
Waking up in a public toilet does sound fun but since Ive taken estrogen I dont ger morning wood often
so you saying the real solution for peeing with morning wood is estrogen?
i would transition but there’s no ikea near me for the mandatory Blahaj.
If we could simply choose when we got erections, high school would have been much less awkward
You or your classmates must have been quite bad at hiding them. I never noticed anyone having an erection in school and I never felt sexually attracted to anyone there either.
how the fuck do you piss with wood anyways? just wait 5 minutes
Use the force
Proceeds to pee like the guy in Upload
i was really impressed by the window trick
I like that some developer in that series went out of their way to ensure they could do not wrong when peeing. Out the window… 100% no splash
brother if you got wood how tf are you peeing sitting down. That shit pointing up

Why though.
- Cleaner for your penis: sitting down eliminates the last drops remaining that are common when standing up
- Cleaner for the bathroom: zero risk foreskin messing up your aim and having pee hit areas that don’t get washed by the flush
- Better urine elimination for men that have prostate issues or lower urinary tract symptoms. I don’t, but it’s a factor
- More chill to sit down and check your phone while in the bathroom
Wait, are you dragging your schlong against the inside of the toilet so it gets in contact with the water that runs down it?
No, I’m talking about where the urine hits the toilet. If it hits a part that doesn’t get washed by the flush, the urine dries out there and smells.
Cleaner for your penis: sitting down eliminates the last drops remaining that are common when standing up
only if you do the gooch scooch
Because splashback.
Just cause it’s easy doesn’t mean you should.
Also, it’s not easier than standing.
do you like, have severe knee pain or something? that’s the only way i can see it being more difficult to sit down.
Even when sitting down we have to aim the nozzle manually, so it’s just sitting down for a moment then getting up, which normally is more work than standing there for a moment.
And (at least for me), it is more comfortable peeing standing up (albeit that might be because of a lifetime of doing it like that).
Another compromise is to pee in the shower. or better yet, on there indoor plants, this way we don’t need to water them.
Remember, there’s a difference between peeing in the shower and peeing into the shower.
SHOWER, But you barely know her
Just the need of undoing your pants/belt already makes it easier to stand up.
Some seats have that front opening, which helps, otherwise there’s often not much room to pee sitting down.
Then there’s also some people who prefer to cover the seat with toilet paper before sitting down.
It’s easier to stand up.
Magic trick: With a skirt/kilt you don’t need to undo the belt!
Also isn’t the intersection of needing to undo ones belt and needing the front opening rather small?
I don’t like it when my thing touchs the inside of the toilet its disgusting and other xommentters took the time to explain the simple reasons for you

My dignity refuses to piss sitting down !
I’m a woman and will leave the seat up at work (not at home)
We have unisex toilets and truck drivers use them - they regularly wee all over the toilet seats if left down :(
if there is a lid - always down
if there is no lid - always up
it is the safest, cleanest, fairest option
we just leave it down at home. we talked about it one day and everyone with male excretory parts just wants to get off their feet. only time the seat lifts is for cleaning.
I’ve thought of this so many times. I’m fact, I’ve thought about a spring-loaded seat hinge that raises the seat unless there’s a person upon it. If the seat is always up, it is much less likely to be urinated upon. It takes the work completely out of the hands of the user.
Pooping is what unites us
I once jokingly mentioned to my wife that leaving the seat up is just as convenient for me as leaving it down is for her. To which she pointed out that, of the four different permutations of toilet use between us, 3/4 require the seat to be down, so all in all, it makes sense to leave the seat down.
And dammit, I had to marry a logical autistic, didn’t I?
So now I always (try to remember to) leave the seat down.
I tend to sit down to pee most times (at home), so that ratio is even higher for us…
At home both of those are invalid. You close the lid before you flush so you don’t spread particles everywhere (among many other benefits)
Everyone opens the lid/seat to the desired level. Everyone does their business. Everyone closes the lid. Everyone flushes and washes their hands.
True gender equality!
autistic women are the best
I mean, it’ll be less than 3/4 if you always stand to pee, because people pee more often than they poop (of they hydrate sufficiently and there’s no health issue). But it’ll still definitely be over half, so the result is the same.
If you raise it, put it back down when you’re done. If you put it down, put it back up when you’re done. That seems fair.
Alternatively, if there’s a lid, close the lid when you’re done. Then everyone is equally “inconvenienced”.
I always close the lid so things don’t fall in
Most The public bathrooms around me, don’t have lids for the toilet.
the ones that don’t flush, if you close the lid the smell vents outdoors
I’ve come across a few in my travels
In my house, the toilet seat and lid are down when not in use. Because I have a cat and she’s the kind of idiot that will jump into the toilet and then track toilet water into my bed.
I try to do the same. My cat can get a little carried away with his toys and sometimes they’ll get swatted into the toilet
Sit to pee for all. Solves all problems.
nooooope not putting my cheeks on that unless necessary
seat up, squat a bit, and aim to reduce splash. wipe when done no matter what it looks like
I had a cat that trained me to sit down to pee.
The only time I could ever get her to purr was when when I was sat on the toilet. So, of course, I began sitting down to pee in order to maximise her purring and fusses. And it kinda stuck.
I never understood the whole “you left the toilet seat up” complaint. Never been an issue in my family but have heard “he never puts the seat down” all the time. Is it that much effort to put the toilet seat down when you need to go?
Edit: Always close the toilet seat cover, not just lowering the toilet seat. This is for both men and women.
When flushing you should absolutely close the lid. Otherwise water droplets from the toilet get flung all over the place.
But then the next person lifts it and discovers your Toblerone of a shit is still proudly sitting there.
its gross, bruh.
I agree which is why I put the lid down but I’m asking about the toilet seat.
Soft close toilet seats should be standard equipment.
Then putting the lid down is a matter of a single light push.
Did you know this isn’t a discussion at all in most of the world? People do whatever and no one is bothered by it. I only ever see this in American media.
This is in Canada, so close enough.
I put the lid down, don’t want toilet water splashing all over the place when you flush.
I put the lid up, so I don’t have to raise the lid next time I’m there to piss, which is what I do the most often there.
I only piss in sinks and showers. It’s the gentlemanly thing to do.
The gentlemanly thing would be to keep it in your pants, like I do.
you piss in your pants?
that’s gotta get gross quickly
Because it’s so much better to just leave the piss lying about elsewhere? Just pull on your big boy panties and piss yourself. It’s fine.
ok ok shit… being responsible for my mess is the upright thing to do. time for depends.
and drawers
My brother used to say, if i have to lift it up why shouldn’t my wife have to put it down?
I see his point but, i close the lid to flush so i don’t have to brush my teeth with a pissy shit particle covered toothbrush.
I dunno if you’d want to know (or maybe you know, already) but it only helps some with bacteria, not viruses: https://www.everydayhealth.com/health-home/should-you-flush-with-the-toilet-seat-up-or-down.
If men have to put down women have to lift up. Morality is when the same logic is applied to the other side. Otherwise your being sexist and prejudice.
Yes because men can only shit while standing. Are you reading your own bullshit?
Nah but you are if we shit the seat is down. Think before you speak.
So why should women put the seat up if they cant know if youre gonna shit or piss. Why dont you try that thinking before speaking thing yourself for once?
You don’t? That’s a moronic take. We lift we drop we don’t bitch about it. Only a petty fuck would make the seat being pre-prepared for thier specifications an issue. Still haven’t used your brain eh.
I can make it even simpler for you, because you dont seem to get basic logic.
Case 1: Woman uses the bathroom -> the seat is down -> everyone can use it as is. Case 2: Man pisses while standing -> the seat is up -> woman needs to lower it 100%, man only when sitting down next time.
Also thats not even the issue. A toilet seat if fucking filthy. Forcing someone else to touch it just because you are too lazy to lower it yourself after using it for yourself is as selfish as it gets.
I dont think this will get through to you but maybe you can stop and think about it for 10s. Why make life hard fpr other people for your own benefit? Maybe thats your egotistic worldview and you see yourself as an alpha or whatever bs, but if not your take doesnt make any sense.
Dum dum what do you think men do when we lift the toilet seat? Stop thinking about “ew I have to touch the toilet” and just stop policing ppl shitting. Fucking repedocan mindset rules for thee not for me. But you can’t imagine a world where you have to do what others do.
Maybe you like touching toilet seats. Some people dont and I dont see why I should force them to.
Also do you even read what youre writing? “Have to do what others do” equals “have to do something an other person forces me to because of their fucking lazy ass” in your mind? How entitled can you get. Please stop spreading conservative bullshit your manly man grandpa taught you.
Can people do what they need to do without anybody policing them? Seat up or down who cares?
As a guy please leave it up, when I need to poop I really don’t want to sit on a seat with pee splatter all over. If it’s really unisex I think most women rather put it down than sit on a wet toiletseat.
Why does it matter how it’s left when you’re done? All that matters is lifting it when you pee.
Well yeah, but way too many lazy guys just pee.
Okay, that’s gross. It wouldn’t even occur to me to not lift the seat first.
It really helps to explain all the folks who’re fans of sink peeing, when you think about it.
I have a 5 year old kid that only wants to pee standing but (despite me telling him not to) he never lifts the seat. Unfortunately some guys never seem to grow beyond 5 years old…
