No Thanks Allow. FWIW, I just took a leak and can you can add me to the list of unzip, and then its up and over the top of the tighty-whiteys. Sorry, I didn't mean to incite a riot.
I wasn't refering to an AskMe thread necessarily though it would make a good one --but just that the peeing question reminded me of the wiping question in general. Please, someone ask the wiping question.
I wasn't refering to an AskMe thread necessarily I didn't think you were referring to a specific question. I was boggling that such a question would even exist. I simply cannot wrap my head around the idea that there is anybody the planet who stands and wipes. This is true. I actually use both methods.
Because variety is the spice of life. Has everyone crafted their butt wipe answer yet? Well, I did until I noticed the lack of foot movement in the stalls next to me, which led me to question my methods. Anyway, I think there are some unscientific survey results here not sure because my company blocks the Poop Report--those assholes.
Why on earth do you pull your underwear up over your abs? I'm betting that there may be some correlation between technique and undergear type. Boxers with the staight slit lead to a higher percentage of slit users and the varieties with the Y opening leading to a higher percentage of up and over. Someone needs to do a study.
Sweet mother of Abraham Lincoln, I think I'm in love with unixrat. But my real question is what the HELL is up with you non-hand-washers. I mean, that just ain't right. I make it a point to identify every non-washer in this company, and I make damn sure I don't shake hands with them. And I'm bitter, too, because I haven't been able to go near any of the non-packaged food in the kitchen due to my utter conviction that one of them has been rooting around in it.
Wash your hands after touching your junk. This ain't kindergarten, circle time is over, and you do not need to share. The junk is one of the cleanest parts of the body, whereas the hands are the dirtiest. It's more like "Why don't people wash their junk after they get their filthy hands all over it?
The fact that your hands touch all sorts of nasty stuff during the course of a day keyboards especially , and your penis really doesn't Assuming you showered in the morning, the penis should be the cleanest part of your body!
I think I stole this from a Seinfeld skit Before or after? I'll leave it up to the reader to guess. I'm a stander, and from what it sounds like, I'm the minority It's how I was raised I don't understand how it's technically possible to sit on the toilet AND wipe at the same time And for those who don't understand how to wipe when standing up, how do you wipe when you're out camping This might be a derail but I can offer an answer as to why someone may stand to wipe.
No one like anything smeared up their arm For those of us with relatively long torso's, short arms, or large stomachs reach can be an issue. Standing can allow for the security of knowing you have thoroughly wiped.
The only negative I can possibly see to this method is the dreaded ass-to-pants drip scenario. I apologize if any of you were eating.
To lessen the derail nature, let me just add that I was an up-and-over guy when I wore traditional boxers ages Before that I was a typical tighty whitey kid and have no recollection of my piss ing technique.
Since then, I am a boxer-brief fanatic. As long as the zig zag passage through the flap isn't exaggerated, it really isn't a problem to get it out quickly, go hands free for the job at hand, shake, and tuck back in swiftly. A quick tug on the front can guarantee there is no zipperable anatomy in the danger zone. Here it is. We need to define some terms, here. I sit and wipe, but that doesn't mean my weight is resting on the toilet seat—I lean forward and lift my ass an inch or two for clearance, say.
I have to admit I hear "stand and wipe" and think of someone just standing up completely. Do you standers do so, or is it more of a standing crouch, or what? The German signs, mentioned some comments back, advise men to sit rather than stand when they piss. The reason, though, is that German toilets have a sort of ledge right in the middle of the bowl, for reasons that have been pondered elsewhere.
Standers are sprayers in those loos. Using it right now. I had no idea anyone sat and wiped. Sitting in public is for emergencies only, in my book. Three of us in the living room, him in the bathroom. He was taking forever to go to bathroom and we wanted to leave to go out that evening. So we grabbed a digital camera and a giant glass of water. The goal was to throw open the door, spray the water and take a picture.
Of course we happened to open the door right as he was finished. He was completely standing up in mid-wipe and sort of leaning forward. That was the first time that myself or those 2 friends had ever heard of someone standing up to wipe.
Of course that was the first time my other friend had ever heard about people sitting down to wipe. Scrump: "At Harvard we wash our hands after we pee" "Oh yeah? Well at Yale we don't pee on our hands. I try to drink a tall germ smoothy daily just to keep myself strong. I'm getting quite an education in this thread! Why the flap? Because sometimes your balls get cold, and scarves tend to fall off. I'm a lifelong flap user though I often pee sitting down.
It wasn't until I was in college in the mids that I ever saw anyone older than early grade-school age undoing their belts and opening their pants to use a urinal. I think I've actually offered this here before, but: a My underwear are all the designer briefs that don't have a flap, so yeah, pulldown. Why the banana hammocks? Terrapin's got it. Toilet paper is disgusting and unhygenic. To a lesser extent, so are bidets though they are certainly better.
I do my business regularly once, and only once, a day in the morningtime before my shower. Then I get in the shower and wash thoroughly with soap and water. It seems obvious to me that this cleanest method known to man, and in the speak of tampon commercials, I can feel fresh throughout the day.
It's something anyway. I would be shocked, shocked to find that touching my penis puts more or any germs on my hands than turning off the sink handle and touching the paper towel handle or dryer button after washing in a public restroom.
I don't touch the bathroom door in a public restroom to leave. I either use my foot or a paper towel if I can get one by not touching anything else to touch the handle.
If there's no waste basket by the door, I throw the paper on the floor. My germ-avoiding behavior is meticulous, but I only get sick once every three years or so. For the record, its not a full stand, but there's no weight on the toilet seat either I'm not crouched down, not standing up Response by poster: I would like someone who feels they fall into the "sit and wipe" category to describe it.
I don't feel that I stand in the same way that I stand, say, at the bus stop. But at the same time, I'm as confused as hatsix. What are the logistics behind staying seated and wiping at the same time? Do you just lean to the side and squeeze your hand in down there? Sitter, approach from the rear. Okay, maybe sometimes I lean forward or in one direction or the other, but I am firmly in the sitting camp.
I can't believe I'm going to write this, but Sitting: lean forward a little and to the left, rotate hips to the left for some extra angle, approach from behind on the right. My weight is on the toilet bowl, not on my feet at all. Standing: stand up completely, feet shoulder-width apart, bend knees slightly, obviously approach from behind.
Once I started to sit, I never went back--it's much more efficient. I had a friend who said he always sat to pee. I figured he just had gender issues. And so far, nobody has even mentioned going through the leghole, or what you do when you go commando. My friend, while cycling, pees out his leghole. Peeing: over the top, under the belt if I'm wearing one. As mentioned by someone else, not all of us have enough room on the throne to comfortably wipe while sitting.
They used to be like inches around, each. Baby got back, son. I used to bike and skateboard halfpipes a whole hell of a lot. There's certainly no room to approach the problem from the front, either, as I've seen GFs do, somehow pushing backwards or whatever. Also, standing frees up a hand to lift one cheek for cleaner, more efficient wiping.
You really want to go sticking your hand down in or around the toilet? What if you're using a paper buttgasket? It just sounds like asking for trouble, disaster, or at the least extra germs. I saw a few studies how prostate cancer might be related to our Western, "unnatural" John Crapper style of sitting horizontally on the throne, possibly combined with the issues of rubbing dioxin-bleached wood pulp on your backside.
I've met more than one granola-crunching, yoga-stretching hippy with cinderblocks in front of or on either side of the throne to faciliate a more "natural" squatting position.
Having used them, I can say it's quite comfortable and effective. This entire thread stands as proof and a monument to the axiom that the longer a conversation continues, the more likely it will be that poop will be discussed. All racers learn to do this, and it's consider a rite of passage. I often drive support vehicles for races and at least a couple times per race I see a pair at the back -- one guy pushing another with his hand on the butt of the one who's peeing off the bike.
Squatting is really how we're designed to go, anyway. I was forced to squat regularly when living for a year in India. That gave me hemmarroids which, five years later, are still with me. Oh yeah, and triathletes generally just pee in their pants. Even more cannon fodder in the culture wars between competitive cyclists and triathletes. Anyone who undoes their belt to pee is a knave.
I use both the pouch door and the over the top method, and have used the through the leg method on several non-consecutive occasions, usually when wearing nothing else and feeling pendulous.
On the subject of squatting, I did it all the time while in Thailand and Laos, and must admit that it cuts down on the lollygagging. The lack of toilet paper on the other hand And this is known colloquially as "droppin' a godwin" posted by cortex at PM on June 24, [ 5 favorites ]. Only girls need to worry about wiping from front to back. Us boys men don't have enough holes to need to worry about any such nonsense.
A something, anyway. I'm wondering if those that undo their belts are like the standing-wipers. I can't imagine ever doing either, but -- I'm not a fat person. Being huge means doing some things differently. You know how we occassionally wonder how the really large wipe themselves? Perhaps this is an answer -- standing up makes access possible. You people are really all so awesome. I don't know remember who ever taught me how to wipe my parents and I have never got around to discussing it but all my life I've stood.
By the time I reached 18 I realized somehow that most of the world's population sat and wiped. Until today, I have been wracked with guilt over this issue. What the hell is wrong with me, I don't even understand the mechanics of sitting and wiping? I have lived my life in fear that someday someone will catch me standing mid-wipe and they'll see what a fool I am. Now, I realize that everyone has their own unique wiping technique and, you know, everything is going to be OK. A friend and I serindipitously started discussing this at a ballgame with another pal, who was amazed that there was anyone who didn't use the flap.
My other pal boldly declared that anyone who pissed through the flap was gay. I don't know if I'd go that far, but they're probably communists at least. As for wiping, since you all asked, standing.
I can't reach while sitting, and I'm gonna stand anyway, so why not? Though really, this is all an excuse to talk about the co-worker who told me since my office was right next to the bathroom that he couldn't sit on the toilet anymore since his "when you get old, your balls droop, and mine are touchin' the water.
And now, I share with you: My coworker Dan has droopy balls. Also, stand-and-wipe 4 life. In my circle of family and friends, the breakdown is purely along gender lines: men stand-and-wipe, and women sit-and-wipe. In fact, I find it a bit surprising any guys are sit-and-wipers. There is an association between overly warm testicles, which can be caused by tight-fitting underwear, and decreased sperm counts.
Not only is too-tight underwear generally unflattering hello, visible bulges and puckering , but it can also promote chafing of the skin and vaginal irritation, especially if you're post-menopausal. Here's a quick answer: Yes, tighter underwear may reduce sperm count. That said, it's unlikely to reduce sperm health enough to cause infertility. In healthy fertile men, even when briefs reduced sperm counts, vital sperm health measurements were still in the normal range.
