In America, men think that standing to pee is masculine, while sitting to pee is effeminate. I agree. If your private parts dangle near the water, you'll splash yourself and that's not sanitary, especially in a toilet used by strangers who could have diseases. Peeing on the street or any other public place is nasty because you leave a mess that is hard to wash away. It's very unfair to the cleaning people to make such a mess!

We aim to please. You aim too, please. ... sign posted fairly often in loos of non-chain restaurants around here .... it's more than a speed versus accuracy question, made complex as it is by societal norms ... size does matter, particularly in regards to the target ...... urinating outdoors is far superior, it frees the mind as it frees the bladder, it also supplies vegetation with food [never mind what Mq says, trees cannot live on carbon dioxide alone] .... but rumour is you can't do this on the boulevard in Fairfax Virginia, no matter your stance, they have for some reason rigid rules against the natural Flow of Life .... 'Honi soit qui mal y pense' indeed, eh
