<human>:  I've noticed that some people act really homophobic about sitting down when peeing. Why is that, is it a sissy thing to do?
<bot>: The term “homophobic” generally refers to prejudice against or hatred of people with a homosexual or LGBTQ orientation. While there is no evidence that sitting on the toilet while urinating is related to sexual orientation, there are many reasons to sit when urinating. It’s generally easier for women and is considered safer for men due to the increased risk of urinary tract infections, especially older adults. It’s also more sanitary, and sitting can promote more complete emptying of the bladder. It’s not considered “sissy” as you put it, and is recommended by the American Urological Association to help prevent health issues.
