Is peeing while sitting unhealthy?
Pee, pee, piss? Myths and facts around the small business
Men with short first names have a clear advantage in winter. At least when it comes to peeing your own name in the fresh snow. No problem for Max and Ben. For Klaus-Dieter, however, is the latest at the end of the hyphen? the "juice" is all. That this, the male play instinct owed feat only works standing up, is clear. Why but a majority of men in the home bathroom "steadfast" adheres to the principle of Stehpinkelns is unclear. Here, where neither a snowdrift lures to perpetuate, nor a cutting wind cools the bared butt, "man" could sit down, right? At least that means "woman", who, in spite of all emancipatory progress, is in most cases still responsible for cleaning the bath. This leads directly to male myth number one:
"I can aim, there's nothing wrong with me!"
It is true that the man has a better control over the urine stream in the urination (technical term for urination) as the woman. This is anatomical and undeniable. Therefore, in the Western civilization, the sitting peeing pose has prevailed in the woman. In other cultures, for example in parts of Africa, women learn special techniques for standing peering as early as the girlhood. But back to the myth. It is untrue that it is only on the "goals can" depends. The actual pollution does not take place through accidental "peephole". Rather, it is the result of the fine spray, which inevitably arises when the urine stream hits the ceramic or water in the toilet bowl. This mist of tiny urine droplets settles on and around the loo, forming a sticky film. So much for the supposed goal security.
A popular manslaughter-argument of the standing-pincers is based on the following myth:
"For men, squatting is harmful to health!"
When asked about the origin of this medical half-knowledge, the Lord of Creation will give her a multitude of creative answers. But: none of them are right! This myth is really one. In order to prevent a discussion of principle, woman can incorporate here a quote from Hartmut Jonitz. The vice-president of the professional association of the German urologists says to this men's fear the following: "No, the (Stehpinkeln) has no health sanitary". His colleague and press secretary of the professional association of urologists, Dr. med. Wolfgang Bühmann, explains in the renowned pharmacy review: "The male urethra has two curves.When sitting on the toilet, you can just hang the penis.This is nature's opposite". If the discussion is still not over, probably only a subtle hint on the location of the cleaning utensils.
And now to the last myth, which is actually no one. Here one could rather speak of a latent identity disorder:
"Peeing while sitting is unmanly!"
The peeing standing up as the last bastion of a heavily scratched masculinity. Not really serious, but still very enlightening. Does this argument say a lot about the insecure state of the man in a society that is about to free itself from traditional role models. Of course, the man in the hunt for mammoths had in mind other than to worry about the hygiene at the toilet. Toilets? Was being pissed outside and of course while standing. But with the mammoths, the mammoth hunters are extinct too. Unfortunately, many men do not seem to have realized that yet. Fortunately, a survey by the Apotheken-Umschau shows that there is a trend reversal in the adolescent generation of men towards sitting peeing. Dr. Wolfgang Bühmann explains this with a changed role allocation, in which men are also involved in cleaning. There is still hope!
In summary, it can be said that peeing while sitting should not be a woman's business. It is more hygienic and by no means harmful to the physical and mental health of the man. If you have the opportunity, a bath with normal toilet and an additional urinal is recommended. This deprives any possible discussion of any basis and creates peace on the "Pinkelfront".
I hope that women have given you this little excursus some argumentation aids when you find the toilet seat folded up again at home. Or are you one of the estimated lucky 40 percent, where the discussion "sit or stand?" because of a man sitting anyway pissing obsolete? The Manneken Pis in Brussels is probably completely unaffected by the whole topic. The pees since the year 1619 uncritically standing!
