Stop Stand-up Urination for Men!

A Swedish political party is taking a stand against upright urination.

At a county council meeting Monday, the Left Party, or Vänsterpartiet, tabled a motion that would require office washrooms to be genderless with a sit-down-only requirement, reported the news agency Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå.

For men who might refuse to comply, party representatives suggested a separate set of toilets clearly labeled for stand-up urination only.

Vänsterpartiet, known as a socialist and feminist organization, believes seated urination is healthier for men and more hygienic for both sexes.

Party speakers cited medical research they said shows men empty their bladders more efficiently while seated. Improved bladder evacuation reduces the risk for prostate problems, according to the party. It also helps men who sit rather than stand achieve a longer and healthier sex life, it said.

Viggo Hansen, a substitute council member who authored the motion, told Sveriges Television that that the move does not represent an attempt to meddle in the bathroom habits of citizens.

"That's not what we're doing. We want to give men the option of going into a clean toilet," he said.

No, on the pot actually.

Oh, and thanks for providing the straight line.

Actually, if more guys could do a straight line, this whole topic would be moot. ;)

Let's see, improved cleanliness, improved sex life, less prostate problems. I can go for that.
I guess standing is now for trees and bus shelters.
Every morning the soul is once again as good as new, and again one offers it to one's brothers & sisters in life.
