Matsushita Electric Works says it believes the biggest factor behind men taking their weight off while whizzing is insistence from wives, who generally have to clean up if they spray. Experts, however, aren't as easily convinced.

"Speaking from a psychiatrist's point of view, being able to see oneself urinate the furthest possible distance brings joy to men in a feeling that stems back to the old days of hunting and gathering," shrink Katsumi Harima tells Sunday Mainichi. "Perhaps the trend we're seeing suggests the gender aspect of that role is no longer as strong as it once was."

Harima says the sitting tendency may also be the result of modern lifestyles that have been behind so many couples also becoming sexless.

Other experts point to the survey results that show the younger the man the more likely he is to sit down to pee, note that children nowadays are playing less outside and have fewer opportunities to go through the male rite of passage of showing buddies how far they can spray their urine, thus making them more willing to accept suggestions that they take a seat when they need to relieve themselves. Harima is not so sure.

"I'd say that space has more to do with it than anything else," he tells Sunday Mainichi. "There aren't too many homes out there that can afford the space to install a urinal."
