I seem to be getting caught in a guilotine choke from standing a lot, can anyone suggest any good counters apart from punching them in the nuts ?

Throw an arm over their shoulder, it stops them from leaning back and applying pressure and will buy you some time.

does it matter which arm ?
If they have me wrapped with their right arm, I'd use my right arm on their left shoulder. This feels more natural to me and its helped to relieve some pressure when I've been caught in that choke.

Get your hips under them, arm through the legs, lift, slam.
If your getting into guilotines from standing alot you need to turtle up more bro! push you shoulders up and duck your head down when you come in close!
Use your shin to lock the opponent's forward knee while applying do jime to the floating ribs with your arms.

Good point.
Also keep your head up. If your shooting you shouldn't be looking at the ground.
1. put your hand on his hip to prevent him standing up and putting more pressure on. Stamp on his feet as well, hard.
2. If you are light get your feet onto his thighs or in to guard! these do work but only if you are light and supple.
Are you getting into guillotine from shoot?

Option#1) -Post hip, arm over back, step behind and take down.
Option#2) -Similar to #1, as opponent starts to lift you, ride opponents leg, then take down.
Option#3) -Same as #2, except use a double leg ride.
Option#4) -Push and pull (two way action) opponents guillotine grip, stall and pop your head out.
Option#5) -Reverse guillotine, grab opponent's chin, drop to one knee, go the side position (cradle) and submit.
Play with these and see which method works best for you. Good luck and have fun.

Your posture is off if you're getting caught standing. Head up, back straight.
I once saw a guy named Jason Von Flue submit a guy form -within a guillotine-. VonFlue was on top, in side control after getting caught in the GC standing up, he took the guy down. This trapped the guy's arm between their bodies. I'm not exactly sure how, but Von Flue was able to use his right shoulder and the other guys left arm to put on an effective enough triangle that the guy passed out before he could tap. (Of course his arms were trapped so... tapping is difficult)
Anyone else remember that (or have Youtube link?)

If you can't break the habit of dropping your head and bull-rushing on your shoots, then do this simple trick. Grab the back of your head with the palm of either hand. Now, lay the bone of that arm along your jaw line, keeping the grip on the back of your neck, so that your elbow is pointing the same direction, same height, as your chin. Next, snuggle your chin down, deeper towards this same side armpit, and drop that elbow and your chin towards your chest.
Easy to do; hard to describe; it will take your neck and head completely out of the game. The guy will have to do something other than the guillotine. Which will provide you a whole different learning opportunity.

This is not the fight, nor is it Jason Von Flue...but it is somebody demonstrating the technique

I managed to pull this one off last night,
Post hip, arm over back, step behind and take down.
