Peeing sitting down is superior (hexbear.net)

I've quite recently made a change to sitting down to pee instead of the usual point and shoot and I can't believe I haven't earlier. It's quieter, more comfortable and completely avoids any potential mess from split streams or spraying. Standing does have its place and can be more convenient in certain scenarios but I don't think it should be standard for penis-havers. Do people think it's gay or something?

Thoughts and feelings would be appreciated and will advance the piss discourse of the site.

Dangers of sitting:

If it's cold, it can be a shock to the rear
Peepee can touch porcelain bowl, cold/moist/gross
Peeing between seat and bowl can happen accidentally and insidiously. Soaked pants/socks + pain to clean up.
If not in your own house / have awful housemates, touching gross things like toilet seats

I say this as a dedicated sit-downer wherever possible. I find it preferable, but when you're groggily wiping a pool of pee off the floor at 1am, you realise it's not a promised pee land.

This one is a big bummer when it happens, but as you say it's still worth defaulting to sitting.

Your skirt can dip into the water behind you without you noticing

Oh gosh, I've never had that, but I will quickly be paranoid now.
