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.

I don’t know if putting a chair in front of a urinal will solve the problem.
THIS IS NOT THE SEMI-NEWS SITE IS IT?
The Janitor’s Union speaks.
Guys will just stand on the chair and shoot down.
“Here comes the forest fire bomber dropping slurry on the fire!”
Obama has had this policy in place at the White House since he took office.
If God didn’t intend men to shoot, he wouldn’t have given them guns.
So it starts with banning 16oz drinks at the 7-11 and it slippery slopes down to forcing men to sit down to pee.
Strange World we live in.
They want me to sit down while I urinate!!!???...p.. on ‘em.!
Sorry, I do not want to be forced to sit on a nasty public toilet just to take a leak.
Apparently Swedish wives have been making their husbands do this at home for years—or else. It’s a Feminazi thing.
That would piss me off.
We must keep in mind that this is the result of the incremental individual control that is communism (albeit in the “socialism” pahse).
It can be argued that it would be a logical outcome of the policy changes being implemented in the current administration.
Well. this would solve the age old “put the darn seat down” problem. :)
Stand up men!
What would be MORE hygienic, is if people actually washed their hands after a trip to the can. I can't tell you how many people I see in the office who never wash their hands.
Is that you Reiiiccsssssssssshhhh?
Not that many years ago, I remember seeing in print a comment made by a male U.S. Navy pilot right around the time that political correctness started to hit the Navy at full steam.
He said, “They won’t be happy until they have us sit down when we pee!” (or words to that effect).
