Should men sit down to urinate on a plane?


https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/kiwi-traveller/300858775/plane-etiquette-should-men-sit-down-to-urinate-on-a-plane

Thirty-five-thousand feet in the air. Standing in the small confines of an aeroplane toilet. Turbulence strikes. The floor, the seat, the walls are covered like a Jackson Pollock splatter painting. Its a urination disaster.

Unintentional spillage is a potential scenario for anyone with a penis, or anyone who decides to urinate while upright. Peeing in the unstable environment of a plane is risky business.

There is some easy-to-follow etiquette when peeing on a plane: make sure you do it in the bathroom cubicle, lift the toilet seat, and if you contaminate the area, be considerate and clean it up. But it is up in the air whether men should sit down to pee.

It is, of course, entirely the preference and beliefs of the beholder if they would like to sit or stand.

In most Western cultures the standing position is a common toilet habit. In the East the sitting and crouching positions are more common.
A 2020 survey of 155 respondents in Japan found that 70% of Japanese men are now urinating sitting down, compared to 51% in 2015.

The issue is a hot topic in Germany, with some lavatories equipped with signage and lighting to deter the act of standing up. The term sitzpinkler implies that sitters are less of a man. You might have heard that in Switzerland there is a ban on peeing standing up or flushing the toilet after 10pm - the urban myth is taking the piss...

The main call for men to sit during the everyday act of urination is because of the mess.
