More Japanese men prefer sitting whizzes
(Mainichi Shimbun, Oct. 4, 2004)
-- Almost one in every four Japanese men sits down on the toilet to urinate, according to a survey by Toto Corp., the country's biggest manufacturer of toilets. Toto's poll of 2,312 adult men from across Japan discovered that 23.7 percent sat down while having a pee....
...Toilet researcher Junichi Hirata blames the spread of Western-style toilets on the increasing prevalence for Japanese men to sit on the toilet even while only urinating...

Personally I don't know what the problem is.. there are no arguments about leaving the seat up and best of all, there are no drips and splashes to clean up..

If the door is shut, who is to know anyway? Take a book and make the most of the time alone!!

Because with some japanese toilets the water is high up in the bowl. If you have even a moderate lenght dick its going to get a soak in the water... not the most sanetry feeling.

How sad.

That reminds me of some reports about single mothers in the US teaching their sons to pee sitting down because it's cleaner. Why don't they just go ahead and get them to tuck their cock and balls between their legs and wear a dress?

GomiGirls, What's the big deal with the seat being up? Couldn't a man just as easily complain about it being down whenever he comes in to take a wiz?

I don't have a problem either way - but some people get all uptight about it. What pisses me off (sic) is when people don't brush the bowl after they have left a skiddy!!

P.S.A. of the day:
A toilet full of long, large diameter, bloody "cable" is a sure sign of somebody with advanced Gonorrhea. Get thee to a doctor post-haste.

One time I got really drunk and ended up going home with this girl that ... let's just say ... I normally wouldn't have gone home with. The next morning I got up and went into the bathroom to take a wiz. When I looked into the toilet I was horrified. There were what looked like weeks of built up skid marks!

I take it that you were at her place??

[Samurai_Jerk]

Oh man. Imagine if she had done that in one night at my place. ewww.

Hey i'm a lazy bastard and i piss sitting down. Glad to see that japanese feels the same. It's not a surprise though seeing how clean are japanese toilets in general. If you add to that the seat covers and the heated seats you have a generation of people sitting.Praise Japan, Praise Toto.
There are countless reasons to piss sitting down. It's more comfortable, it takes some time so it's nice where you are at work, it gives time to think about life in general while you are isolated from the world and as mentionned by Gomigirl it's more hygienic.

I spend half of my life in motel rooms and I almost always sit to pee. My willy has never dipped in the water, but my balls do and I hate that feeling. Esp in a motel, yuck.

But the worse thing about motels, it doesn't matter how expensive they are, in the bed-spread (the top comfortor) last week the thing had dried blood all over it. Blood is pretty easy to spot but other dired fluids are not so easy.

If you add to that the seat covers and the heated seats .

I don't care one way or the other about fuzzy seat covers, but those heated seats rule. I'm going to have to scope out buying one this weekend.

[djgizmoe]

Yeah, the J-wife is trying to get me to sit, too. This from a woman whose father actually built a URINAL in their home bathroom...Haven't decided yet whether to give in or not...

Using the FG Forum "search" function I cannot find this obvious Japaneseque toilet factiod about the "Sound Princess." (Sorry if it's a repeat.)

Gadget Helps Women Use Bathroom in Japan
AP News / Oct 5 / TOKYO - When Naoko Ito uses a public bathroom, she cringes in embarrassment at the thought that other patrons can hear the sounds coming from her stall. That's when she turns to the "Sound Princess."
Ito, like a rapidly growing number of Japanese women, presses a device installed in public toilets to simulate the sound of water flushing _ and mask the cruder noises of nature....
.... installment rate of such devices in modern skyscrapers in Japan is 100 percent. INAX's sales increased 25 percent in 2003, Morioka said, although he refused to give precise numbers.
"Most of the demands for the device come from public facility owners and managers including department stores and elementary and junior high schools," he said.
But for now, "Oto-Hime" seems to likely to remain for women only.
"I still haven't heard of men who say they want 'Oto-hime' in men's rooms," said Goto.

I am such a rebel - I refuse to use these.. we all pee for goodness sakes!! I don't understand why people are embarressed about a bit of running water!!

[Caustic Saint]

I don't understand why people are embarressed about a bit of running water!!

Oh, I don't think they're worried about that. That's just the cover story for the real reason they want these things:

Get yourself a UV light.

That would be a great fucking idea for a hidden camera show. I'd love to see the look on their faces as the sounds of explosive diarrhea reverberated through the bathroom.

Good intention but it appears that the hidden-camera-toilet combo does not enjoy a good reputation ...

Mainichi, Jul 21
It may seem like a piddling problem, but increasingly large numbers of Japanese children, especially little boys, don't know how to pee properly, according to Sunday Mainichi (7/30).
It's kids way of wee-weeing that's surprising some, with one elementary school first grade teacher saying that half the 18 boys in his class dropped their trousers around their ankles and exposed the lower halves of their bodies every time they spent a penny....

This site continues to astound and surprise me with it multi-faceted, yet educational posts about ordinary Japanese life.

If there was a course on Japanese orientation, and this website was the course-ware, where would this post fit in?

40% of Japanese men sit down to pee, survey shows
（Mainichi Japan） December 13, 2007
About 40 percent of adult Japanese men sit on the toilet to urinate -- a staggering figure almost three times the number recorded in 1999 -- according to a survey by Western-style toilet manufacturer Matsushita Electric Works Ltd.
The survey of 518 men and an identical number of women whose ages ranged from their 30s to 50s showed that the younger the man, the more likely he is to sit down while peeing instead of the traditional method of standing up....more...

Jeez, I always thought japanese guys just drop trow and piss anywhere they please... at least thats the impression (and stench) I get walking to the station each day -- and back. Hell, just the other day I scolded some dumb ass oyaji for pissing on our dividing wall! No wonder Japanese have the 'shoes off at the door' tradition -- they're all covered in shit and piss! (a fact)

[emperor]

I usually only sit & pee when I'm drunk and might spill or fall over, but in general I prefer to pee in the great outdoors; I especially like feeding my plants and trees at night-time in the back garden while I marvel at how large the moon is...
