Swedish party wants sit-down urination

Left Party members of a Swedish county council said they want to encourage men using the council's toilets to sit during urination.

The Left Party in Sormland said it wants the Sormland County Council to pass a motion requiring toilets reserved for stand-up urination to be labeled, Swedish news agency TT reported Monday.

The party said sit-down urination is more hygienic and reduces the risk of bathroom users having to negotiate their way around puddles en route to the toilet.

The supporters of the motion said sitting during urination also has medical benefits, including reducing the risk of prostate problems and leading to a healthier and longer sex life.

Viggo Hansen, a substitute member of the council and author of the motion, said he wants it to eventually lead to sitting-only bathrooms.

Most German and Japanese men sit to piss.

Only at the Oktoberfest in Munich, where no-one wants to give up their seat at the table...

My wife would make me clean it up, and I’d rather not.

Indeed, I do it mean it endearingly. Men have to put up with women’s icky problems and we have to put up with yours. That’s what love and marriage are all about.

If I’m so drunk that I can’t avoid pissing all over the floor before reaching the toilet, sitting down won’t help.

A real man can poo standing up.


So, you’ve visited “Armpitistan” too?

If I recall they did a study that said 50% of people Pee in the Shower.

Don't know about anyone else here, but I would have a heck of time getting up off the Shower floor after I took a Pee.

The fact that my fat white a$$ would be covered in Urine wouldn't be appreciated by the Firemen having to come and get me out of there.

Yep, that’s exactly right. And there is something really sweet about that mutual forebearance.

unless he enjoys falling into the toilet bowl.

That is why you put down that open part of the seat.

I have to sit when my back is acting up.

You know, lifting heavy things....

Actually on the toilet seat being up, I would rather have it that way so you can at least know the LAST MF didn’t whiz on the seat.

Thank you for the smiles.
