I lean which I suppose constitutes as sitting since at least part of my ass is still on the seat.
I never even knew people stood up to wipe...

Ewwwwwwww. this topic keeps giving me nasty mental images.
First of all, I've always stood to wipe, and no you don't stand fully erect, *cough* with your back, you lean forward a little as you stand and you spread your cheeks... lol... and you wipe. It's easy and clean. No poo goes anywhere like some dude stated, thats what um, the toilet paper is for? And you certainly don't get up until you're done. That's the only way I could see poop dripping down.. getting up before you're finished..
If you sat down to wipe your arm would touch the seat/rim and potentially take a mistaken dip in the water... you'd have to wash your arm up to your elbow! Which I seriously doubt anyone does!
However I do pee while sitting down (only at home though), because I don't like pissing all over my toilet. It's not hygienic at all. Microblobs of it go all over the place but you can't see it. Your urine is NOT a stream, it's a spray, your eyes just can't see the tiny dots of urine fast enough, but you can if you had a slow-motion camera... how do I know this? thank Mythbusters.
Now that I know half of the worlds population go around with urine coated elbows... NO MORE ELBOW HUGS!

I didn't even know you could sit and wipe... how do you reach? Surely the back of the toilet, the cistern and the toilet seat would get in the way, or is it easier for smaller people with long, thin arms and greater manual dexterity?
Needless to say I stand to wipe and always have done... however I don't fully stand up, I raise myself off the seat but I'm still but keep my hips bent in the sitting position until I've finished.
Maybe people's different point's of view on this subject are due to different interpretations of sitting and standing. I'll try to illustrate this with SFW pictures:
I can't possible understand how anyone could reach and wipe while in this position
This is kind of what I mean by standing, except I don't put my arms on my knees. I call this standing because I'm fully raised off the toilet seat and fully supporting my weight with my legs, yet I still bend at my waist so I'm not stood up straight. Some people would probably consider this squatting.
This is the literal definition of standing, but I doubt anyone wipes in this position. Perhaps this is what some "sitters" think of when they express disbelief on hearing that some people stand to wipe?
Could it be that a large number of people do it similar to the position in the second picture, but some people consider that sitting and some people consider that standing?

People who stand: Theres plenty of room down there. If you're afraid you're gonna touch poop, I'd be worried about how much poop your doing.
What I find interesting is the amount of fanboyism when it comes to how you wipe your ass.

Sitting while wiping just seems like it'd lead to all sorts of awkward-to-explain trouble, so I stand.
I thought the same thing! Standing while wiping is weird... You get better coverage sitting, plus your cheeks are already spread. When standing, you have to manually spread them, thus risking poop-finger.Chapper said:
I remember when I tried wiping while sitting as a kid that my hand dipped too low into the water, which made me never want to wipe sitting again. I'm not really sure even how to go about wiping while sitting since my coordination sucks so very much, I'd probably miss with the paper and plunge in with my hand. At least when standing I can at least see where to wipe.
I love how half the posts are people, shocked that there are people who stand and the other half are people, shocked that there are people who sit.
I am the latter.

Ok, WHAT?! I would answer, but I'm too confused over the fact that someone cared enough about knowing how men wipe their asses that they turned it into a study. Why would anyone ever do this?
Going by these illistrations, I guess I'm closest to the second picture, although I'm still a bit confused as to why the question has even been asked.Jamash said:I didn't even know you could sit and wipe... how do you reach?

Either half the people here are trolls or I'm genuinely flabbergasted...
I sit. Seriously? Do you seperate your buttocks with your hands or something? The butt's already stretched if you sit. It's enough of a chore already to wipe with a hairy arse, I just can't fathom why you would stand up.
