..... One such word is Sitzpinkler, a man who pees sitting down. Not only do the Germans have a word for it, they are remarkably more proficient at it than most other nationalities.
Recently, UK-based pollster YouGov published the results of a 13-country survey of men’s urinating preferences. This map shows the eight countries surveyed in Europe — the others were Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Singapore, and Australia. Of all 13 countries, Germany was the one where most men sat down “every time” to urinate (40%). Add those who do so “most times” (22%), and you get the result shown on the map: nearly two-thirds are Sitzpinkler (without final “s”: the word is both singular and plural).
Sitzpinkler statistics That puts German men well ahead of their second-placed counterparts in Sweden, where only 22% of men sit down “every time.” More Swedish men sit down “most times” (28%). Danish men place third overall (44%), ahead of Australians (39%) and Canadians (35%). The streams of French (35%) and Italian (34%) men almost cross, but despite the overall closeness of the result, a considerably larger share of French men are Sitzpinkler of the “every time” variety (19% vs. 13% in Italy). Dangling at the bottom of the European league are Poland (27%) and the UK (24%), with only 10% of Polish men and 9% of British blokes sitting down “every time.”
The U.S. is on the lower end of the scale: only 10% of American men sit down to pee “every time,” with an additional 13% “most times.” Still, this is not as low as Mexico or Singapore, where 6% and 5% of men respectively sit down to pee “every time.”

“”””Their wives are probably happy - men really make a mess of bathrooms.””””
It has been known for generations that urinals are needed to be a fixture in American homes but it was thought, or known, that women would not want them there.
My problem with sitting is .. I have to hold “it” clear of the water!😄
This is stupid.
Yep, that’s the one!
👍
But fun!
Come on, admit it!
You laughed!😄
Take a look at this 5 minute Youtube explaining the splash effect with ultraviolet light.
You may be surprised how much urine droplets are spread across the outside toilet, floor and walls. They explain that even aiming at the backside of the toilet, actually produces more splash than hitting the water.
Though I always use a vertical urinal when peeing at a public cinema or store, at I sit down to pee. And the two best reasons I do this are 1) cleanliness and 2) respect for my wife who normally cleans the bathroom every 2 days.
Women make far worse of a mess in a bathroom. Far, far worse. It's not even close. A man's bathroom can look the same after years except for the accumulation of dust and denser water stains on the shower door.
A woman's bathroom, especially if shared by other women, looks like scene after scene out of an escalating horror movie.
I've seen things.
I’ve been in ‘unisex’ bathrooms with a urinal. They always stink.
Peyronie’s disease? Hypospadias?
We gotta be more like Singapore and Mexico.
“Dear Lord, help us to love one another. Help us to STAND!”
Nobody’s gonna hold THAT one against you.
I was wondering about that....
(So I guess men who sit are only ‘fags’ about once per day...)
The cleanliness in your home is different, a normal urinal flushes just like a toilet, and what you may have seen is the modern urinals that are mandated by liberals which means that they are close to the floor and have an even worse splash problem than a toilet.
Grease?
They look like urinals I’ve seen all my life, everywhere; and they stink.
Let me know how that “peeing sitting down” is working for you once you’ve had your three score and ten and your prostate is the size of an avocado.
Yeah, I like to be efficient. If I’m sitting for 2 I might as well 1.
Do they really?
I thought “Sitzpinkler” was an insult over there.
You are a female right?
I grew up in DC listening to the ‘Grease!’
