The time has come to shout this from the rooftops. For those who have the option, this is the clearly superior method.
I’ve been doing this for years, and have evangelized within my circle. Most of my buddies who aren’t losers have acknowledged they do it as well. I shouldn’t even have to explain the benefits but for those doubtful or on the fence:
• No splash risk
• Don’t have to put the seat up/down (in fact, this layer of the seat with the hole in it, is completely unnecessary. If everyone sat down we could eliminate it altogether and make toilets simpler and easier to clean)
• In position for all occurrences
• Breaks a meaningless gender binary
• It’s comfortable
It’s just better. Sadly for dudes there’s still some stigma around this (“this guy looks like he pees sitting down” is a misogynistic insult that pops up) or at the least standing is just a tough habit to break without feeling weird. And there’s still a time and place when that option comes in handy! Outdoors, outhouses or other gnarly public bathrooms, urinals. But at home?? It’s time to make the switch!
