Oh what a topic you've selected!
Not bad if you know that in my culture the male people avoid pissing while standing! In my country it's so, as my religion has recommended not to pee while standing, and to do it while sitting or squatting. I know there, they teach the kid when he can stand up, how to pee while standing, but it's not so here. However, I am male and quite healthy, but I don't pee while standing. You should consider that there are many different ways and theologies around the world.To my own, peeing while standing is a nasty actions, also it does not feet a man's character, that's like you imagine a respectable man standing up still some where, his penis is out and his piss line in front of him! Who made the rule that males MUST stand up while urinating? And don't relate it to the nature, potentially many things are natural as an ability; one can bring it out (gun), aim and kill, but he has choosing power, although he has the ability, but he may not do it if he is sane; one can just bring it out, aim and piss, but does it mean he can not do it in a way but that?
Why stand to pee? Why aim? Aiming is for the time when you are distant to your target and can't be close to it, but when you can be close to it, and if you are sane, you prefer being close to your target than aiming to the target. So sit down and be relax, the name of the place you are doing that in, is rest room! And why you waste your time and energy in cleaning bathrooms? You can save it for more useful affairs by reducing the need of bathroom to be cleaned!
As for those who say "peeing while standing is of a few pleasures of a man!", I should say that a man is more valuable than way of peeing places as his pleasure and property! It does not fit a man to consider that as his worth! Men have more valuable special abilities to be mentioned! And as for those who say "peeing while standing is much easier than doing it while sitting or squatting", I should say that bending over and pulling down pants, and keeping a part of panties down for a while and aim for a while both need an attempt; and the fact that which one is easier for a person depends on habit. The way in which one's habit is based on, is easier for that one, and to which you habit, it will be easier for you! As God has made the ability of peeing while standing easily in guys, it must have an advantage, and yes it has. In men's jobs some times urgent situations happen, and some times they have to do some thing in a short time when the speed is important, and some times men have situations that they can't sit or squat or are in places where sitting or squatting is not easily possible; in such times they can use their ability of peeing while standing easily. But these urgent times just some times happen, not always! So I think there should be a project for men to stop, or to say better, manage peeing while standing. One group are already doing that and their site is: http://www.mapsu.org . As I mentioned, there are some occations when it's needed to pee standing up, then it happens for both men and women! So what should women do? So easy, they can instantly pee standing up using a small device, one is here: http://www.travelmateinfo.com/page002.html .
However, it will be great if the current way of peeing of guys in toilets and bathrooms, in the most parts of the world changes.Ali
Ali, he and I see things in the same light here.

Posted by: Velociman at February 1, 2005 9:27 PMObviously Ali has never felt the exhiliration that comes from pissing on a cigarette butt in the toilet bowl and pretending you're piloting a P-51 Mustang and strafing the deck of an enemy aircraft carrier.
Poor guy.
Posted by: Jim - PRS at February 1, 2005 9:51 PMnot to disagree - but seriously, one of the few pleasures in life is peeing in the wind

Posted by: jack straw at February 1, 2005 10:23 PMSince Ali left a comment on my post "Pretend perfect world" I was delighted that he stopped by your place as well.
I got to admit at first I thought it was you, but isn't it a great comment?
Who could make up stuff like this? Ok, maybe you. LOL
Makes me want to smoke a joint and talk about world peace.

Posted by: StinKerr at February 2, 2005 5:06 PMIndeed! It is that very quality of toilet water that makes standing to pee so much more than just a preference. I have no doubt that the Velocitapir, too, is quite familiar with this problem: peeing while seated leaves one's member coiled in the bottom of a chilly tank of water.
Just as the Elephant has no need to bend down to reach the ground with his trunk, and the giraffe need not strain to reach the highest branches, so too the well-endowed man has no need to sit while peeing.
