I had never seen or heard of the standing thing until I was about 20 years old. A drunk friend left the door open and I saw him standing there, weaving back and forth, wiping up. I have to admit, it was very disturbing for some unknown reason. Everytime I see him, I think about him standing up and wiping.

naw man. When you’re ready to wipe, lean onto your non-dominant side ass cheek, and wipe with your dominant hand. Because you’re leaning over, your hand doesn’t go into the bowl, and it has the added benefit of naturally spreading the cheeks so you can fully wipe. I prefer to wipe in small circles around the hole,…

My issue with standing though is like... do you have sufficient access to the area to clean it fully? Like, if your butt cheeks are together, because you’re standing up, does that provide adequate room to fully clean? It works for you, so I suppose so, but to me it seems more difficult logistically.

I mean, is it totally, completely outside the realm of possibility that you might, MAYBE, brush your hand against a poop? No. But in my 31 years, having used many different toilets both at home and abroad, it has never happened, so I don’t think it’s a worry, really.

I’m still not going to stick my hand “slightly” into a wet, filthy, smelly hole that I can’t see into

People who stand up to wipe are like grown men who pull their pants and underwear down around their ankles to piss at a urinal. Both types should be locked up with the criminally insane.
