Men who work for the Sormland County Council in central Sweden should sit down rather than stand up when urinating in office toilets, according to a motion put forward by the local Left Party chapter.
The Left Party in Sormland is taking a stand to ensure men take a seat when emptying their bladders in the county council’s own toilets.
According to the party, there are two very important reasons for the proposal encouraging men to sit instead of stand when they urinate.

One reason has to do with hygiene and a desire to ensure that no one who uses the toilets at the county council’s offices will be required to walk through puddles or residue left by stray urine which happens to splash out of the bowl and onto the floor when male employees pee standing up.
The Left Party also cites medical research it claims shows that men empty their bladders more efficiently when they are seated.
The improved bladder evacuation not only reduces the risk for prostate problems, according to the party, but also helps men who sit rather than stand achieve a longer and healthier sex life, the local Folket newspaper reported.
As a first step in its quest to get men to take a seat, the Left Party proposes labeling toilets which are designated for men who absolutely want to remain standing when they pee.

在瑞典中部瑟姆納郡議會上班的男性,上廁所時應該坐著而非站著尿尿,這是根據當地左派黨黨團提出的動議。
瑟姆納左派黨主張男職員在郡議會上廁所時應坐著小解。
該黨認為,鼓勵男性坐著而非站著小便的提案,有兩個很重要的理由。
理由之一與衛生有關,希望確保不會有人在使用郡議會辦公室廁所時,必須被迫踏過因為男職員站著小便而不慎濺出尿斗,在地板上造成的尿漬或殘留尿液。
左派黨也引述醫學研究,聲稱男性在清空他們的膀胱時,坐著要比站著來得更有效率。
改進淨空膀胱的方式不僅可以降低攝護腺問題的風險,該黨表示,也有助於坐著而非站著小便的男性,擁有更長久且更健康的性生活,當地《人民報》報導。
做為要求男職員坐著小便的第一步,左派黨提議針對一定要站著小便的男職員專用廁所予以標示。

Let’s explore another delicacy primarily known to Tainan locals: floating milkfish in thick soup. Despite its peculiar name, this dish is another Tainan specialty that showcases the popularity of milkfish, which is made into fish paste and served in thick soup. Unlike the version with tutuo fish, which also adds other ingredients to its thick soup, the floating milkfish version primarily features the “floating fish” itself in its thick soup, ensuring that the fish paste remains the star of the dish. 讓我們來探索另一道台南人熟悉的美食:浮水魚羹。這道菜名奇特的美食,再再展現了台南虱目魚料理的多樣。浮水魚羹是用虱目魚漿做成的羹品,雖然和𩵚魠魚羹一樣是羹湯,但不像𩵚魠魚羹會在湯中加入其他食材,而是讓虱目魚漿成為這道料理的主角。 peculiar (adj.) 獨特的;古怪的 The belly of a milkfish is considered the most
