🙋‍♀️Guys: It’s Time to Sit Down to Pee (Hear Me Out) 👂🏻

Should Men Sit to Pee? Science Says Yes — And Your Bathroom Floor Agrees

Standing to pee  may be considered “manly” in North America, but it’s mostly cultural macho BS. In Sweden, Japan, Taiwan, and parts of Germany, men often sit by default — many public restrooms even have “please sit” signs. Why? Because it’s cleaner, healthier, and just makes sense.

Here’s what studies and urologists actually say:

1. Better Bladder Emptying & Pelvic Floor Relaxation

Standing leaves 20–50 ml more urine behind and keeps pelvic muscles slightly engaged for balance — making full relaxation harder. Sitting lets everything unwind (pelvic floor + spine), gravity drains completely.

Result: Fewer UTIs, less bladder/prostate strain, smoother flow — huge for BPH or urgency issues.

2. Faster & More Efficient Flow

Men empty their bladders quicker when seated — less abdominal pressure needed, better uroflow rates. Urologists confirm: sitting optimizes the angle and relaxation for max speed and completeness.

3. Prostate Health Boost

For men 40+, sitting reduces direct pressure on the prostate gland. Less strain = fewer BPH symptoms (frequent urination, weak flow, getting up at night). Dr. Berg and functional urologists call it “gold” for prostate support.

4. Hygiene Superpower

No “spray mist” — pee doesn’t hit the rim, floor, walls, or underside of the seat when sitting. Studies show standing creates aerosol droplets that travel up to 6 feet. Your bathroom stays cleaner, smells better, and your partner stops quietly resenting you. Win-win.

Cultural Myth Busted

This “real men stand” thing is mostly a North American stereotype (and lingering in some German circles). In much of the world — especially Sweden, Japan, and increasingly Germany — sitting is standard and seen as considerate

Try It Challenge

Sit for one week. Most men who switch never go back — it’s faster, cleaner, and feels better.

Ladies: You’ve earned this.

Gentlemen: Your prostate, bladder, and relationship will thank you.
