The bacteria on a toilet seat are normal skin flora that do not cause disease (Staph epidermidis, Micrococcus, etc.) Even if there is urine on a toilet seat, urine is sterile and contains no bacteria. Most of the pathogenic bacteria found in bathrooms are on the toilet flusher, sink knobs, and door handles. It's transferred around bathrooms by hands that have not yet been washed, hands that are washed improperly, and hands that were not washed at all. Plop that butt down and have no fear!

I find it hard to believe you haven't made ANY skin contact. But that's besides the point I suppose. I do that at public places, but not in my house.
