I'm not a man people but my family (including the guys) keeps the seat down and the lid shut. We were taught to flush with the lid shut so that the water germs don't fly around the room and get on our toothbrushes etc. It also keeps pets from drinking the water which might have cleaning product residue in it, although none of mine have even tried.
We have a deerhound who seems to prefer toilet water to the fresh water bowl 3 feet away, sitting on a rack over the bath because she doesn't like eating from floor level.
Since I'm tall, and toilet bowls are designed to accommodate kids, both my partner and I appreciate the elevated seat we installed.
Since I pee outside (wherever I goddamned like... My farm is cut out of the middle of a forest), even before the unraisable elevator the pot was for sitting only and because of dogs, the lid is always down.
Even visiting in the city I'll ask permission to pee in the garden, but inside...always put lid down before flushing.
Surely the mothers in the audience get inured to manure.
