    I agree that this can happen, but at least its pretty rare. Standing while peeing however makes a mess in a radius around the toilet every time. I mean, when you live alone and have no guests ever then this might not be an issue, but in every other case it’s pretty nasty.

      Back when I could consistently roll my foreskin back, aiming from standing was the cleaner option. I have no idea what animals you’ve lived with that couldn’t get their pee in the bowl consistently, but I’m sorry, I guess?

        I’m a man, and i tell you that even if you aim perfectly with rolled back foreskin, the splashback when the stream hits the ceramic creates a radius around the bowl where small droplets land. Either someone else cleaned the floors back then when your foreskin was youthful, or noone cleaned them.

          There are plenty of spots to aim other than the water, most of which will disperse the spray and splash down and towards the center of the bowl. The Swedes literally carved a fake fly in one spot in particular on urinals to make it clear, but regular toilet bowls are actually more forgiving.

          Maybe your boyish masculinity demanded you ignore such things while standing as tall as you could and forcibly emptying your bladder as hard and fast as possible, but such inadequacy does not make you a man, nor does leaving the mess for others to clean-up. A man-child maybe, but definitely not a mature one.

          Bend-at-the knees and let the flow do its thing without treating your prostate and abs like they owe you money. Your “torrent” requires neither extreme focus-and-effort, nor an assist from gravity.

          Sure from your description, one of us should NEVER have been standing to pee, nor go around calling themselves a “Man” even today. Surprisingly, its not me.
