This topic might be seen as a tad gross but I trust everyone will be mature. I honestly had no idea till today that some men remain seated to wipe. This, to me, seems logistically impossible and a recipe for pulled muscles and much discomfort. Am I in the minority? Seriously, my mind is blown and I have to know how this polls. And please, keep this discussion of cleanliness clean. -------------  Time always wins. |

It's as mind blowing to me that these two separate schools of thought have existed along side each other for so long without seemingly anyone noticing as it is that sitting and wiping is possible. ------------- Time always wins. |

I suspect he is implying something about those who find lifting the seat one strenuous exercise too far and have a problem with the accuracy of their aim, (as opposed to those who fail to lift the seat but whose aim is exemplary or those who can lift the seat but whose directional control leaves much to be desired).

I do my business while squatting, then sidle over about a foot, sit down and rub my tush in the dirt (or preferably grass when I'm staying somewhere fancy -- like the park). In Autumn, a pile of leaves is the best place to shake that booty in.. |

There's some space behind, not from the side, so maybe it is a girth issue. Re the water there is no issue at all. In most bowls I've seen there is a good 4-5" from the seat to the water surface. The hand is no where near water. If the water level was set way up to the top of the bowl it could be an issue I spose.

Wow.......PA at it's most ridiculous/socially analytical? I've never in my life heard of people standing up to wipe their starfish....frankly, doesn't one squeeze the exact same underwater creature together, when standing up? I mean, when you remain seated, the cheeks are already spread out........wow that got nasty pretty quickly Sorry to all of you out there trying to enjoy your supper hah!I do know of toilets where you stand up the entire time. Like this picture only with two huge cement slabs to stand on, and the entire place filthy as hell. Not entirely unlike the one featured in Trainspotting.

If by spread out you mean mashed down on the seat hovering a few scant inches above filthy toilet water, an area that can only be accessed via some sort of keyhole sized gap between yourself and the toilet. Get up and give yourselves some space, people. ------------- Time always wins. |

when i stand up, i spread wide my legs the worst situation is that small piece of poop suspended between yr buttocks and it wont fall down, so you dance a little but in the end you will close your ass spreading the mud everywhere. It's a disaster.

I did too when I read the topic. I'm a sitter myself, and I'm trying to fathom how in the world you wipe standing up. I've popped a squat in the woods many a time (I'm a distance runner mind you, so sometimes it needs to be done) and I have to squat to the point that my cheeks almost touch the ground. It even got me a bad case of poison ivy in an inconvenient place, but that didn't change my method. ------------- Want to play mafia? Visit http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com" rel="nofollow - here . |

I am equally mystified at the standing phenomenon. But I guess some guys sit while they urinate, which I find odd as well.

| This is the kind of topic that makes me proud to be a member of PA. Personally, I like to stand every now and then just to check things out but usually sit unless it's really explosive in which case I go outside and use the hose. Of course, in the old days we had an outhouse and chickens so it wasn't an issue. |

Isn't that what the toilet seat's for, sitting? Although I'm sure sitting is a modern phenomenon. I'm sure a couple millenia ago people were standing, because they would otherwise have a messy scrotum. ------------- Want to play mafia?
