Up until I was seven years of age, my father, who was a lifer in the military, was typically stationed away from home. The people I spent the most time around were my mother, my two sisters, and my grandmother. I don't know whether it ever occurred to them to have me urinate standing up; in any case, they never brought it up, and I never perceived a lack. To this day, if a reasonable toilet is available, I tend to sit. Kind of makes sense--if I have to urinate and defecate, I sit, and I don't necessarily know that I have only to urinate, so why not--just in case--kill two birds with one stone?

Of course, my father did at length come home to stay, and, among other things, he taught me the Standard Method for Those with Penises. :? Seemed pretty odd at the time, but I learned it more easily than I did tying my shoes (don't ask :roll: ). It still isn't entirely second nature for me, but it isn't exactly brain surgery, either, and it does come in handy under a fair number of circumstances.

Usually how much I make a conscious effort not to stand depends upon how dressed I am, except in the case where I'm wearing hosiery. If I'm wearing pantyhose or tights, I have strong inclination to stand up--I suppose I'm just worried about wear and tear on the garments (if I recall correctly, I've got some Scottish ancestry :wink: ).

I suppose I'd be more strict about sitting down, but then I read that interesting stuff at restrooms.org. It's nice to know that women can also stand, if they care to do so. :)

Yours,
Celia

Yeah Celia, but I'm sure their aim isn't as good as ours, though! :lol: :) :| :? Er, um, wait. Actually, I take that back!

Hmm . . . precision urination . . . :idea: The Olympics can always use more events :lol: I'm thinking Winter Olympics, with plenty of don't-eat-the-yellow-snow warning signs; and if participants don't win gold, they can make their own! rotf

I was going to suggest co-ed writing your name in the snow as one of the competitive events, but I guess the guys would have several unfair advantages! :)
