A little bit ago I was telling a story the involved me taking a piss while sitting down and Tom raised eyebrows immediately. Pee sitting down?!
I pee sitting down once a day now. Here’s the scenario:
During my 4am wake up call, I always take a piss before returning to bed.
Before, I would pee standing up. I wouldn’t turn the light on because it’s 4am and I don’t want to be blinded. My aim is great but even Steph Curry misses a three now and then. The noise is also unpleasant.

So what have I started doing? You guessed it, sitting down for those pees.
Every day now for my 4am routine I pee sitting down. It’s dead quiet, always hits its target, and I can rest up a little bit before going back to bed as opposed to using energy to stand.
This is only one instance, but I don’t know, maybe I’ll start doing all my pees sitting down! No noise, no splash, no piss on the seat.
What are the down sides?
There’s a little extra effort pulling you pants all the way down too. Plus you might accidentally take a poop when you really don’t want to. That’s not significant enough though.
For some reason it’s seen as an insult if you say a man sits down to pee. Perhaps because women also sit down to pee. How sexist. It’s 2020 people.
Don’t get me wrong. If I’m at a Sixers game or taking a piss in a bush, I’m standing up, but in the comfort of my own home? Take a seat pal.
Let’s remove the stigma surrounding peeing while seated. Join me, brothers!
Totally agree with you.
My first bathroom trip when I wake up I sit down regardless.
First thing outta bed, my aim isn’t 100, and I use this time to refresh my podcast app and do my first check out social media for the day.
