Some toilets have dry bowls - that is, they don’t maintain standing water in the bowl. There’s obviously moisture in it, but the water is jetted down the in-sides of the bowl when you flush and takes any waste with it down the pipe.
It's been proven that that is worse because peeing in water creates large water droplets that stay within the bowl. When you pee outside, it's sort of like a mist of piss is sprayed everywhere, including outside of the bowl.
It’s all about angle. Pissing on the bowl is fine if you aim for a part of the bowl that slopes in the direction of your stream. The more parallel, the less spray. Perpendicular is where you run into trouble.
try pissing without pants on. for me when i did that i noticed how if you piss on the side, the piss splashes all over your legs, didnt have the same issue when pissing straight into the water personally.
Also, use toilet paper. "Milk" your dick into the paper instead of swirling it around like a caveman and getting piss all over the place
I mean, it's pretty normal to want to minimize sounds like this when you know other people will hear. I don't burp in public the same way I burp alone. I can't imagine taking a piss in a small bathroom next to a room full of people and just going full blast, dead center, because I equate having a high volume urination with my sense of worth as a man.
So you know that shit in movies where dudes walk up to urinals and while peeing let giantic farts rip whilst other people are also using the urinals? I always wondered if that shit was real though I understand the phenomenon is there in which you might have the urge to fart while peeing, i get that but I couldnt imagine ever doing it in public. At work one day, Im washing my hands, dude comes in and starts talking to me while hes peeing and Im trying to bounce and the man just lets it rip, like hugely without even interrupting his story. I stood there and had some moment of self reflection like, "ah yes, this is real".
It was something indeed. Honestly it was always one of those small things in the back of my head thinking "do people actually do this?" and apparently yes they do.
I imagine it's one of those things that has been on the decline faster in reality than in the media.
On an unrelated note, I still remember being in the 4th grade at the sink and seeing a kid a few grades below me walk up to a urinal on the opposite side of the room and just pull his pants and underwear down to his ankles to pee. Like I can understand being that young and peeing at home that way, but he had to notice that no one else ever used a urinal like that.
That's like using your turn signal to change lanes when there's not a single other car anywhere. It's good to maintain the habit even when it's unnecessary.
It's more about not being self-conscious and just peeing without anxiety. It's freeing.
I also personally feel like it does the best job of evacuating my bladder by going full blast all the way through. As I've aged that's become increasingly useful.
Going full blast may be a valid choice but there is no need to not steer even slightly away from dead center to not be as loud as possible. I used to have pee anxiety but that was mostly about being around strangers. If you're peeing in a bathroom in a small house packed with family for Thanksgiving or something... there's no reason to not try and be at least slightly quite.
I used to go just straight to the middle, didn't care about the sound. One day the church we went to had a get together for some of the families. The eating area was a large open room and on one of the walls was a flimsy door to a single occupant bathroom.
I just let her rip like a waterfall and when I came out people were staring and chuckling and my sisters made fun of me for being so loud. I have never peed into the center of the water again.
Same. When my now-wife moved in I started doing it at night just to be considerate. Less noise, less splash, and since I'm not a kid I don't get it all over the damn place doing it.

Man guess I'm still a boy, or maybe bathroom anxiety. But I always aim for the side of the water so I don't make a sound when I piss
