Flowers also smell, does that make them dirty?
I usually let it be, not for days, but a good few pees. I picked up the habit in Australia where the water was being pulled up from a creek and purified, and so it was a waste of energy and money to flush after a pee. Besides, my pee is clear because I drink enough water, so it rarely smells.
And all the 'ard men who are all "zomg must be flushhhhheeeed" - all I have to say is this:
Gay.

Urine is pretty much sterile so how can it be dirty? unless your infected
Sterile for like, 5 seconds, it's the perfect breeding ground for diseases as soon as it leaves your body.
The only time I don't flush is if I take a whizz in the middle of the night and don't want to wake my mum up, because our toilet is freakishly loud when you flush it. But, if it's a dump, it's gotta be flushed.
Mind you I can hold my pee like a camel. If I have to, I can go from morning to the next day without needing a ****.

Perhaps install one of those eco-toilets, or whatever they are called, which only fluch a small amount for urine but flush the full cistern of water for poo.

I lived with my auntie when i was younger and she had stickers like this all over her bathroom.
Then she allowed her four sons to poison the atmos by setting light to their farts, in full view of anyone who entered their living room.

Yeah, that's what I have. Not quite sure if it saves much though.

That's also done here, for example in the mornings. "Don't flush!!" if you need to go while someone's already in there. Unless they're doing a poo, of course. The last thing you need to see first thing in the morning is someone else's log breaking up as you pee on it.
I also tend not to flush if I've been drinking a lot, for example beer, and my wee is completely clear. Afterwards, it looks as though nobody was even there so I feel like I'm doing my part for the planet and only flush when it starts coming out a bit yellow.
all I can say is... SKILLLZ
No, I flush after each and every usage. However, to offset the water usage I like to think of an African family who live within walking distance of water but likes the ease and comfort of having some aid agency deliver it for free.

Do you know how hard it is to turn sea water into drinkable water lol.. hard.
If the governments code for sustainable homes 2016 does come into force we are going to see much more of water saving features in homes as currently our water usage is miles off what there targeting.

I also heard that toilets in most of the proposed "Eco Towns" worked on a sand based principle when flushing, rather than water. Waste was dumped into sand buckets beneath the house, which would need to be maintained by the owner.
This may have been complete fallacy, however.
They are basically proposing that the net water usage of a property should be something like 80l per day to reach code level 6 and qualify for stamp duty relief, that obviously takes into account grey water harvesting, but its still a really hard figure to acheive.
Ive seen something similar to what you describe above at a sustainable housing project which was then fed into reed beds which are the in thing for disposing of waste sustainably.

People who don't flush afer a whizz are disgusting for one reason.
Their urine evaporates into the air and condenses on surfaces around the bathroom, the toilet seat in particular. Imagine sittting on a toilet seat which has had stale urine condensing on it for a couple of days.
Gross.
Flush you dam hippy, a few litres of water isn't going to save mother earth you filthy jewbot.
