The best thing is that the Germans actually have terms for men who sit and men who don't - German is a wonderful language.

Why not equip your bathroom with both a urinal AND a throne? Why are we so mean about our bathroom furnishings? Is it the Puritan in us?

And why is it considered unmanly to sit for one 'event' but not the other? Imagine if they were required to stand for both in order to preserve their masculinity.

If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat - wipe the seat, dear. Have your mother-in-law record this in her pissiest voice, and rig up a device which will play it automatically whenever your guy approaches the throne. This ought to inhibit peeing altogether for your man - soon he will be going outside to piss - problem solved.
