..... 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.”

Any relation between the surname Biden and the
cleaning gadget called the Bidet?
A confession.
I sit all of the time .. peeing.
I am an older guy that has that “bent pee pee” problem.
I can’t recall the medical name right now.
(Told you I was older!🤓)
Anyway standing, the stream, streams left and makes a hell of a mess!
Bending the pee pee back to the right makes an even Bigger mess!
(Especially when you’ve already started and can’t stop!)
🤣🤣
Despite the absurdity of this whole thread I’m going to make a comment. Physiologically a man’s bladder is more completely emptied when he pees standing rather than sitting. My own doctor made that statement. If you like to pee more often then sit down when you do it.
My own comfort is more a priority to me than a few extra splatters around the toilet.
Makes sense. We have expat progs here that squat to pee and love them some Z that live in Hermville.
African and Middle East countries are underrepresented in this poll. Oh, and the Chinese too.
Your Google search history must be nauseating.
Didn't see them so much in Spain.
When traveling abroad always a good idea to BYOTP. Particularly if traveling to Mexico, Central America, etc.
Who was carrying the rainbow flag?
Thanks for sharing???
Those that take the time to sit down get completely emptied.
I am reminded of an old cartoon in which a sign in a restroom says “Set Down to urinate!” A cartoon man is setting on the floor trying to make his stream hit the toilet bowl.
None. That was back when the word fag was used to accurately describe homosexuals and males whoplayed with dolls.
Right. I’ve lived in houses with many men.
Have you ever seen a bathroom after a man has been teaching his little boy how to pee in the toilet - and they play ‘crossfire’?
Yuk.
And when my husband leaves the shower, it’s like a dolphin has been cavorting in there...we won’t even mention the beard-trimming aftermath.
(Don’t get me started on the kitchen...)
If you can't hit the target from 3 feet, it's time to get your prostate checked.
Yes, I’m sure you’ve NEVER missed...
(My grandmother, born 1890, used to tell me that German women were the best, cleanest housekeepers in the world; but if there were a house fire, a German man would save his pig before he saved his wife...)

Thank you sooooo much for posting this! I don’t think I could have gone to sleep tonight without this information! ;D
😁😁
Same reason American democrat men do?
Sure thing.
Wink wink
