Do you sit on public toilets?

Can you get STD from sitting on public toilets?

Yes

No

To answer your first question, no. I squat over the toilet and take care of my business. To answer your second question, here’s what Google has to say:


“ It is virtually impossible to contract an STD (sexually transmitted disease) from sitting on a public toilet seat. The bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause STDs cannot survive for long outside the warm, moist environment of the human body and are primarily spread through direct sexual contact or the exchange of bodily fluids.”

The STD myth from toilet seats was invented by doctors to make people less embarrassed about seeking help.

The plastic on toilet seats is designed so microorganisms can't live on it.

Thats gross but you know whats grosser? I went to one of those portable potties outside of a football game. The toilet was full to the brim and I saw but cheeks in the mound! So evidently someone didn't look and sat on it! 🤮

[Asker]

I use the "hover" maneuver when using toilets in public restrooms.

Yes. The probability of getting an STD from a toilet seat is almost non-existent. You're basically looking for bodily fluids on the seat for you to be in danger.

[Nikki1989]

Very rarely.
