[i used Pnews to post this and i was sitting down] sorry to jump into an already beaten-to-death topic, but... i have had several non-American male S.O.'s who always urinated sitting down. one was Asian and the other was Russian. the Russian felt more private and protected sitting. i never asked the Asian why he sat, but when he did, he sat FACING THE WALL. as for paper, it's not so easy for a women to "shake it off" and i know i like to be quite dry before i pull up my pants. i once lived in a house which had 1 female and 2 males before i moved in. obviously, after i moved in the paper usage must have gone up over 50%. the other woman started to complain, never thinking that men don't use much paper and women obviously do (yes, think a little about anatomy. and "gift wrapping" used menstrual pads is much more polite, sanitary, and aesthetic than just dropping them oozing into the waste basket. especially if you have animals in the house. i don't know any men who get off on used pads (tho' i guess there are some), but dogs in particular find them...how shall i say?...tasty. as for wet seats, i don't care who leaves 'em that way, male or female, it just isn't polite or sanitary. now for the play-offs in the Toilet Bowl...
