Interesting... I'll keep standing, call me a traditionalist, but I do see the merit. I've honestly never considered it before.

Speaking as someone who has to clean the bathrooms

a toilet is designed to be sat upon. Don't the design of urinals 'catch' the airborn minute spray which otherwise lands on surrounding areas? I ask because I've never been inside a mens toilet

Supposedly, they suck at it though.

As I said, I'll keep standing because that's how I grew up but I can get behind the idea of getting people to sit.

I have cleaned many toilets, the ladies rooms are typically worse.

The health laws in the Old Testament are still relevant today and the AAP stated that male circumcision can reduce the risk of HIV infection and the procedure is also known to lower urinary tract infections and prevent penile cancer. It should be up to individual Jewish parents to decide for their children and the government should stay out of the business of banning the practice but circumcision rates in the US dropped by 10% within a decade perhaps because younger parents are more secular and they are afraid of harming their babies.

I am by no means secular, but I will not engage in this practice. I find it damaging and unnecessary.

Agreed but it's usually blood, crap or tampons. Urine is something I only see in men's rooms.

I have seen more urine, I asked women about this, there is a female phobia about public toilet seats. I don't know how they do it but the few I have spoken to say they don't contact the toilet seat.

How come you two know so much about female toilets?

How do they do it? well obviously they stand up

I cleaned many, I am not at all squeamish so I would clean the restrooms. I was bewildered when I saw urine on the seats, and found it very peculiar. I asked some lady friends and they told me.

Normally I would clean both toilets
