Is it normal to spray while peeing?

How do I stop my pee from spraying?

Pee splashback is caused by two main factors: height from the toilet/urinal bowl, and the “angle of attack.” By far the best way to reduce splashback is to alter the angle of your pee stream so that it hits the wall of the toilet/urinal at a gradual angle; the closer to 90 degrees, the worse the splashback will be.
