Poll: Do you sit or stand?

[iblis666]

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:

Spoiler: Sitting

I can't possible understand how anyone could reach and wipe while in this position

Spoiler: Standing

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.

Spoiler: Also standing, but unrelated to wiping

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?

when most of us refer to sitting i think it is more that we are leaning to the side or perched at the edge of the seat or a mix never fully seated

btw any one else find it strange to wad? to me it seems like a good way to get shit on your hand which is why im a stern believer in folding

Standing just seems to be an unnecessary extra step in the process.

It seems to me that if you stood, your cheeks would press together, making your crack impossible to clean thoroughly. Maybe that's just because I have a fat ass, but I have to sit to wipe.

Just goes to show how diverse in common practices we can be, I never even thought of standing.

And yes I do reach into the hole and into the h-

It should also be asked whether you Bunch or Fold. By qualifying these 2 habits you basically figure out your Bathroom class and race.

I am a Standing Folder.

I'll join your mighty Standing Folder Clan! Can't imagine why people would do it differently.

 

[tzimize]

Hehehe. This might be the wierdest topic I've seen in a forum, ever.

I sit. Standing while wiping? I have no words.

Me too, me too. But I'm not sure whether that's actually something to get excited about or not

OT: I can honestly say that before reading this thread I had never in my life thought about what other people may or may not do after pooping. Which also means that I'd never considered that there were variations on what you could do

I don't know how I feel having gained this knowledge

EDIT: I'm slightly curious as to what the people who selected other do

Standing folder here and this is all very fascinating although a bit too graphic in some posts.

"I have one of those french things that shoots water up your butt"

"beday?'

"beday to you too sir!"

had to say it, i hover cos im awesome...sounds way cooler than say i lean ^_^

 

[Casual Shinji]

I just stand hunched over, leap frog-style!

I don't think I ever performed a sitting wipe in my life; I'm too afraid of reaching into "something".

 

[Stako]

I sit because I don't like bending down to write...

Why did I click on this?
Figured it would be about urination but... that still doesn't make it any better >.>

I am now sick and slightly intrigued.
I also learned something new today that I didn't really want to know >.>

 

[OldRat]

People stand to wipe?

What the hell?

 

[iamthe1]

It depends on how messy the bowel movement was. If it's bad enough, you gotta stand to get it all.

 

[Aedes]

Dear God, people stand to wipe?! I can't even imagine how you can do a proper wipe like that... In fact, I don't even want to imagine it.

I'm shocked the ammount of people doing different than me is huge!
Living and learning something new everyday, knowledge never ends.

 

[Custard_Angel]

Stand?

w-w-w-why would you d-d-do that?

 

[Outright Villainy]

This is an odd thread. I am, uh, surprised so many people sit though. That seems... physially impossible.

 

[Hosker]

When people say stand, do they mean straight up? I just, kinda, lean forward a little, and I don't know what that counts as.

 

[Berserker119]

I'm still looking for a sitter to explain exactly how they do it. I just don't even know where to start.

 

[Flames66]

..HOW do you sit??

No wait, don't answer that, please.

I agree with you Mr Nedry. I don't see how you would do it sitting down. Seems like an activity Stistur to me.
