Should Guys Put the Toilet Seat Down After Using it Every Time?

If the seat wasn't meant to go both ways, it wouldn't have come with a hinge.

Waste disposal is waste disposal. Remind me why the method matters again, I must have forgotten. What's at stake?

Time to TMI a little. There are 2 main possibilities as to why a person went to the toilet. Multiply that by the number of genders and you have 4. Only 1 of those 4 requires it to be up. Majority rules which means it should be left down

I would like to argue a point about the opposite sex that will probably be shut down simply because i am not a member of the female species.

You can piss standing up too.

Little less aim control, but it's there none the less. Splatter factor may or may not be greater.
I second this post.

Oh, and this

Oh dear, LOL. I laughed out loud. So loud that I had to explain to my mother what was so funny

Seriously, we can't. We just... can't
Believe me okay? lol

Our anatomy just... doesn't allow it.

It does too.

Guys should put the lid down because when you flush the toilet, contaminated toilet water sprays into the air.

Good. Builds up our immune systems.

That link is TMI o_o lol What on earth is the point? It'd be easier for you guys to pee sitting down than it would be for a girl to pee standing up

Also, what Hazzy said. Shikage, Spaz, and anybody else that is scared of stuff spraying up when you flush the toilet... toughen up and build up your immune systems

Or turns us into sewer mutants!

"I find a urinal to be more convenient"

You don't have to drop your pants and sit on the same seat as some creep with herpes. Don't knock it till you try it.
FIND THE WATER BOTTLES. QUICK.

Easy rule: If you need the state of the seat to be altered, leave it that way when you're done. We're all big boys and girls, I'm sure we can handle moving a seat up and down.

Women, consider this: The more you want the seat to be kept down, the more likely that you'll find piss on the seat.

Actually i piss whether the seat is down or up. Lrn2aim.

I think, both genders putting the lid down altogether is the better choice in terms of compromise and fairness. As to what Heidi says.. I agree - our anatomy isn't built for that -.- If we pee standing up, it doesn't just not aim properly, it does NOT aim at all. We even wind up peeing on ourselves on the unfortunate occasion - and thats with sitting down. lol I cant imagine how it works if we stood up.

Here's something else: we can't help not being built to aim properly, so we sit down so that pee will land where it should. Since you men are born with the ability and perfected since you were able to potty by yourselves, why cant you go through the trouble of peeing by aiming properly in the first place so that it doesnt splatter all over? lol It's not like you can't clean up your own mess if you mess the toilet seat. - For that, a theres a toilet paper roll to help u deal with that.


On the other hand, if you live in a lady-dominated house - as in, where majority rules, I'd imagine its more respectful to put it down for the ladies.

Oh - and to whoever mentioned it above with the mythbusters - I totally agree with that: it may seem to be the grossest unsanitary thing ever, but it's not. Back when I was in highschool, all four of us as a team were swabbing the same three different areas, collecting our own samples and making our own observations based on that. It was a door handle, the floor, desk and toilet seats. Different door, desk, floor and seat but the results came in the same/similar. The desk swabs came back with the most bacteria growth, the floor had the least, and the toilet seat came in a tie with the handle.

My piss comes out at tremendous, manly speeds. The splashback is too much to bear.

No one took my suggestion to serious consideration. I get up. I'm groggy as s'hit. I need to piss. Do I want to aim? F'uck no, I don't even want to lift that s'hitty lid. I waddle over to the tub, flip the handle, whip my plantain out and let it go. God damn relief and not giving any kind of f'uck everywhere. GLORIOUS.

In the rare occasions that I use a public toilet I squat rather than sit on it. It's painful on my legs, even if it's for a few seconds, but it beats trying to do crazy things to piss like guys do

DO IT. ALWAYS. Who wants to see an open toilet? It even looks stupid.

100% agree with this, always, except in public bathrooms.

The lid is there for a damn reason.

I have an abnormally large bladder and so when i take a piss every other day, the stream is bearable.

Besides, i get up at 12 PM or later every day.

A man that pisses every other day must have extreme stream speeds. I concede. Though I don't know how you do it. I must piss like 5 times a day.
If no one will take up my suggestion of tub-pissing, then I will agree with keeping both lids down. I don't like seeing lids up.

Seriously, though. Bold:

I dunno man. Whenever i go to the movies i always get those large ass things of sprite and drink the whole thing by the time the movie is done. Afterwards, all my friends take a piss and i just stand around for a few minutes. :/
