Why don’t men sit down to pee?

My 2 x DS from a very early age, have been taught by the housekeeper, yours truly, splashes, drips or marks must be cleaned up and seat down after any use of loo and OH gets the wrath of the said HK if he breaks the common decency rules. If they stand or sit there’s no splash for me to see.
It’s up to parents to educate boys.
I presume men stand because it’s just easier to unzip.

Some do. A very close relative of mine does

I was taught that the flushing process could generate 'germs' into the air and it was safer to keep the lid closed to limit this. Factual? No idea.

Why would it be more convenient to stand? I take every opportunity I can to sit down!

I guess because to do it sitting you have to take your trousers down instead of just unzipping.

Also the toilet seat thing - why do we assume that closed is the 'correct' position? I've never had a man say to me 'why do you always leave the toilet seat down?'

Why would it be more convenient to stand? I take every opportunity I can to sit down!

I heard that men sit down in Germany, maybe it’s common in Other European countries and seems sensible to me,

I imagine it's much more convenient to stand than sit but I daresay many males break the mould and do what suits them.

We need to keep our eye in for urinating against walls after closing time!

Because they have a spout and don’t need to sit, women have no choice.

And why can't they put the lid down?
