Fesshole 🧻Father of two daughters. Started sitting down to pee when they were toddlers so if they walked in they'd see how it was done. 10 years later still doing it; so much more comfortable; less drips and no mess. Men; ignore the propaganda, sit to pee.
Pete@fesshole In some cultures men traditionally sit to pee, and ya know what? They have lower rates of prostate cancer.

@greg_b @fesshole I stopped researching that topic some years ago. I think today it would be relatively easy to pull up countries (European) where sitting is prevalent and do another search on rates of prostate cancer in those countries and compare it to countries (USA) where standing is the norm. While there may be other factors, it becomes clear that the correlation is not insignificant.
@greg_b @fesshole When I got my vasectomy (1993) the doctor told me it increased my chance of prostate cancer by 10-12%.
When I got prostate cancer, people online refuted those statistics, so I went looking for why. The sit/stand correlation is so insanely high as to be something we shouldn't ignore.
At the time, articles from legitimate sources drew the same conclusion and specifically stated so.
While there are other factors (pesticides, canned foods, etc), I believe standing is a big one.

@philpetree @fesshole that's mind blowing. Thanks for sharing.
