Urination Positions
For males, because of the flexible and protruding nature of the penis, it is simple to control the direction of the urine stream. Most males urinate in a standing position although they could urinate sitting down or squatting.
For females, the urine does not exit at a distance from the body and is therefore harder to control. Females most commonly urinate sitting (on a toilet) or squatting. Another position is a type of semi squatting referred as "hovering", commonly used in dirty lavatories and preferred over squatting by some. Urination forward while standing with straight legs is possible but considered hard, a female urination device may be used for the purpose.

Famous quotes containing the word positions:
“... liberal intellectuals ... tend to have a classical theory of politics, in which the state has a monopoly of power; hoping that those in positions of authority may prove to be enlightened men, wielding power justly, they are natural, if cautious, allies of the “establishment.””
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
