Swedish party wants sit-down urination
upi.com ^ | 06/12/2012 | n/a

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.

The studies I’ve seen says roughly 50% of men and 35% of women don’t wash their hands,even after taking a dump.

Remember that the next time you reach for a coffee stirrer.

Ewwwww, you have ruined my day, thx.....

Part of it is cultural.

Most German and Japanese men sit to piss.

Mom told me to wash my hands after going and to sing “Happy Birthday” while washing to make sure I spent enough time washing. I had sixteen birthday parties in one year at one place I worked. They all felt sorry for me......singing “Happy Birthday” to myself in the bathroom.

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

I need to see the medical research that suggests sitting has beneficial effects on the prostate. Sounds like the Pee Party is short a male chromosone.

You fail Manhood 101 if your wife makes you pee sitting down.

I bet there are some carcinogens in the little cakes in the urinals, so there’s probably a medical/legal reason why you can’t sit in a urinal. /s

Sign seen above urinal in gas station men’s room: “In case of air raid, jump in here. It hasn’t been hit yet.”

When my kids were younger, we’d see those “wet floor” signs in the highway rest stop restrooms. I’d point to one that said “Piso Mojado” and tell them it meant “piss harder” so it would make it all the way into the urinal.

You just have to think of it as calisthenics for your immune system.

All the more reason not to use a stirrer. Real men drink their coffee black!
