Some men will urinate standing, while others will pee sitting down. And some men will flit between one and the other (not during urination, of course) depending on their mood. One isn't necessarily better than the other, but whichever one you go for needs to be done properly.
A man's decision to urinate standing up or sitting down would be made based on how he was brought up, his culture and his personal preference. There are no hard and fast etiquette rules on the subject.
Yes, It Might Be Healthier For Some Men To Sit When They Pee, Urologists Say. Sitting down to pee might seem embarrassing, but there's an upside. Busy men might want to consider sitting down when they pee — not because it's one of the few moments of the day they can rest, but because it might be better for them.
collected answers from 1,500 men aged 20 to 60 and found that a total of 60.9 percent of men prefer to sit. The survey covered only postures for urinating at sit-down toilets and did not consider situations where urinals are also available.
Conclusion. For healthy men, no difference is found in any of the urodynamic parameters. In patients with LUTS, the sitting position is linked with an improved urodynamic profile.
Sometimes it's much better standing for hygienic reasons. It's a bit quicker standing, just haul it out and go. There is a reason why there is often a queue to women's public toilets. Older guys with some prostate issues might have an easier time standing to fully empty the bladder.
In light of the evidence, the researchers recommend that men with LUTS consider peeing in the sitting position. Residual urine in the bladder is associated with increased prevalence of bladder stones and urinary tract infection, and men with LUTS are better able to empty their bladders.
You shouldn't have to use your muscles to force urine out. A healthy bladder works best if the body just relaxes so that the bladder muscles naturally contract to let the urine flow, rather than using the abdominal muscles to bear down as with a bowel movement.
A 2014 study by Leiden University Medical Centre in the Netherlands found that sitting down helps men with prostate problems such as lower urinary tract disease to urinate with greater force, as the sitting position encourages a "more favorable urodynamic profile."
“A lot of guys sit to pee if they can't fully evacuate their bladder. When you sit down, you can use your abdominal muscles more, and you get your last few squirts out and feel like you've emptied better.” In fact, this is something that helps Mills diagnose patients who might have problems peeing.
Japanese men are increasingly deciding that sitting on the toilet while urinating is the way to go instead of standing where their aim is less accurate or they inadvertently cause a mess due to unintended "splashbacks." A June poll found that just over 60 percent of men prefer to sit, with nearly half having made the ...

Leaning slightly forward can sometimes take pressure off the stomach and bladder, which may reduce the feeling that you need to go.
