Hunh. And I just thought my friends in the UAE just had better housekeepers!

How do you know if it's unusual? Does the subject come up often in conversation?

The subject almost never comes up in conversation but neither does the subject of cannibalism.

Huh. I didn't realize they were comparable.

You can't pee through an erection unless you bend it down. This is best accomplished by sitting.

+1 He just doesn't want to wake himself up by turning on the lights and having to aim. He says it's a laziness thing. I get it.

My DH sits to pee at home and I think it's awesome. He doesn't want to make a mess. He sits or stands depending on the situation.

You're strange.

You're right. I'm totally judging 'men' who sit to pee. It's strange.

I'm curious, OP, why you or anyone else think this is strange.

It's definitely strange but that has already been well covered in a previous thread on the General Parenting Board. I'm interested in getting a general feeling for how prevalent this practice us. Just curious. Not my intention to judge anyone.

You're totally judging by saying it's strange! It might be something you haven't been exposed to, but maybe that's what is strange. My DH also always sits to pee, and I think finds it rather uncivilized to stand and pee while at home (it is hard to avoid splatter, you know!)

It is unusual. My advice? Don't tell anyone about it.

What a great and educational thread!

I have wondered about why men don't sit and pee and figured it was just something that became convention. Now that I have realized that it is not that unusual, I think I am going to start doing it. Makes sense except at a urinal.

What I have not figured out is whether I should tell my wife about my early new year's resolution!!
