Is It Normal For Men To Pee Sitting Down?

Article here. Excerpt:

'Standing up to pee is one of the greatest gifts granted to men. It’s quick, easy, and let’s be honest, fun. However recent cultural trends have given rise to a sweeping epidemic causing more and more men to sit while peeing.

The last reported data on the issue from 2007 suggested that a whopping 42 per cent of married men sat down to pee, most likely to avoid seat drips and the wrath of their fuming wives.

We’d be safe to guess that this percentage has surged past the 50 per cent mark since, due to the fact that this data was collected in an age before smart phones, and men now flock to the restrooms for a quick sit and scroll through Facebook.

"The idea of sitting down to pee is interesting," said Dr. Jesse N. Mills, Associate Clinical Professor at the UCLA Department of Urology when talking to Thrillist. "Nothing beats whipping it out and letting it rip. But if you want to sit down and think about life, it's a break in your day."'

Popular media is as we know filled with crap like this. Men's Health is written not for men to read, but women. In fact given that almost no men actually read men's magazines, but yet they manage to sell to some degree anyway, this leaves only women as buyers. So pee-sitting-down articles naturally show up in men's magazines bc women love them. Well I guess they do since the magazines keep selling.

The article says 42% of married men pee sitting down. I doubt it. Sounds like one of those whole-cloth feminist statistics. But it says further that they do so to avoid upsetting their wives.

Let's just assume, or pretend, that that is true. If so, it's a perfect advertisement for continued or renewed bachelorhood.

Scuse me. Gotta go take a pee. Standing up.
