Sitting Down To Go To The Bathroom

[Guest Emily Ray]

During my month in the psych ward I would never sit to urinate bacause the toilets were made of stainless steel. I hated to sit on the cold seat when I had to, so having the equipment that could be used standing I did so. Now that I am home and have regular toilets I have gone back to sitting for everything and it just feels so natural. I know that I missed it some while I was in, but now I know how much more important it truly is to me. I would be happy to never stand again at a toilet.

I know what you mean, but when I'm out in a public place I still have to use the men's room and I don't know how clean that is to sit on, even when I cover it with toilet paper. I mean the women's bathroom I would have no problem with. Since all women sit down to go to the bathroom their, then it seems it would be cleanier and better taken care of.

It's amazing what simple little things are taken for granted by both genders... Enjoy the little things when they make you happy. ~hugs~

You have to learn to hover over it and not sit on it, builds up those thigh muscles.

Yeah, but it's not all that easy once you're post-op. The days of a perfect little unidirectional stream are gone. Sometimes "the hover" sends it all running down your leg. Just remember, If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie.

Emily I am glad you are able to be yourself again. I can't imaine having to stand up anymore. I have always sat down even as a kid. It just felt right and I didn't have to touch the other part.

I was hospitalized in a psyche ward for three months when my last

suicide attempt before my total acceptance of my true self failed.

My ex even brought me three pair of the prettiest,frilliest ruffled

panties that a girlie girl could want,decided that since women sit

to pee,now was the time to learn how to,and I haven't stood to pee since.

That was over eight years ago now.It is so natural to sit,pee and

wipe,that once I do have surgery it will be no big deal to me.Drives

me crazy when my trans man friends come over and as a sign of their own

manhood insist on leaving the seat up.I quit moaning and groaning about

it,because when my grandson's come over they do it too.It's just a guy

thing,and I learned to look before I sit when they come over.It slurps

to get a wet hiney by falling in from not looking let me tell you.One

advantage of sitting to pee is that one can go at night and not have

to turn on the light,for you sure aren't going to miss the mark.(grin)

Not always is right. Some women hover and miss,or spray the seat

and can care less.Have had some just grin at me and shrug when

it's my turn to go,see the mess,and say oh how gross.Some ladies

are just as nasty as guys can be,and tend to be trained by their

mom's to be that way in a public restroom.And why I always carry

a small pack of wipes.

Really.......

Having used the ladies facilities for the last couple of years, I agree that they are by far much cleaner and better used then men's rooms...

BUT!

I go in some and find wet seats often! YUCK!

This I have to agree fully. Most men's rooms I recall wondering why they even bother putting toilets in there. The men seem more interested in hosing down the floor, walls, probably the ceiling if they can shoot that far.

[Guest Michaele]

And then there's the port-a-potties, OMG the mess in there when we tailgate, I don't even want to walk on the floor much less get anywhere near the seat. Before a game is bad enough but after, no paper, no sanatizer, and overflowing.

[Guest Maria_B]

Well, you'd be glad to hear that I haven't seen someone write on the walls in uhh..

Yes.

I find shopping centers the worst, as well as fast food places. Restaurants seem to be pretty well kept.

BUT, thats off topic!

Yes, sitting down is just so natural that you I feel dirty standing up. I'm sorry you had to go so long not being able to!

I have never understood metal toilets, but daresay there is a good reason for them.

Love, Maria.

[Guest SummerDay]

You can buy disposable toilet seat covers that come in boxes of 10 or more. They're very cheap. If you can carry them in a bag and don't use a public toilet very often this might work.

[Guest Lizzie McTrucker]

Nothing wakes you up faster than a warm rear end touching a cold metal toilet seat.

..or a wet toilet seat, but that's been mentioned.

[Guest Syrra]

That's actually interesting...I've always raised a stink about the guys where I work...I almost never stand to go pee...haven't for the longest time. I go into the stall and look at the commode and wonder how the hell they made the seat look as it is. I think "oh my gods...others have actually sat there?!" I'll spend 5 mins to clean it before putting my butt down.

So some women can be just as bad?? Yikes!
