No one really dances since you can get enough motion by shaking it. Also, toilet paper is non-existent at urinals. That said,

Shake it once, that's fine Shake it twice, that's okay Shake it three times You're playing with yourself again

Sounds like the lyrics to Shipoopi, originally from the "The Music Man".

Squeeze her once when she isn't lookin' If you get a squeeze back, that's fancy cookin' Once more for a pepper-upper Never get sore on her way to supper

After reading this thread, it seems I've been using that air dryer thing on the wall very incorrectly.

[โ€“] qyron@sopuli.xyz 34 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I developed a technique over the years where I run a finger along the urethra after I'm done to push whatever fluid may be left, regardless if I'm standing or sitting down. When no TP is available, it really helps.

[โ€“] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Once upon a time, in my youth, I saw a meme explaining me this. Now I have a push behind the balls after pee every time!

[โ€“] titter@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

This one right here. It pushes on the urethra and expels the drips. Like holding up the back of a garden hose to purge it for the winter.

spoilerI've been having a discussion with a girl friend about this. She couldn't believe me when I told her her I found out about the wiping the pp with toilett paper recently & that I just used to do the shake and dance how most men do. She was shook and told me it can't be true that most men just do the shake and dance.

I know most people on lemmy are progressive, so it might be worped... but it still got me wondering, if I've been doing it wrong for the past +30 years or if it is the standard for other men.

Only when I passed 50 years old was that an issue. Prior to that when the stream was complete it would close off tight, immediately thereafter. Now it's like I read in a Stephen King novel once..."No matter how long you jump and prance the last few drops end up in your pants".

Push up on your taint and the last bit will squirt out. Helps with the weakened prostate.

Wipe, because I don't want to be staining my surroundings with urine droplets. Those that do shake, do you clean your surroundings afterwards? Didn't think so... ๐Ÿคฎ

[โ€“] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

If you're sitting down, the drops will stay in the bowl. Is your standing, you just made a thousand droplets fly everywhere from your stream hitting the porcelain.

Do you shake your ass after taking a dump? No? Why not? Thereโ€™s your answer.

And wash that damn ass.

I milk it couple times and then tap the tip with toilet paper once

[โ€“] rowinxavier@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think you'll find different answers based on country because of circumcision. If you have a foreskin it can be pretty variable how much urine will be held by surface tension and hard to remove with a quick shake. You will also find differences based on the local culture, for example in Germany men usually sit to pee while that is rare in places like the USA.

[โ€“] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 7 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, as a German with a PP, i find the thought disgusting to pee into a toilet while standing. The only time I pee standing up is at a urinal or in the woods. To answer the question, I usually shake a little then get up, no wiping required.

I hit it with a cricket bat. Itโ€™s kind of a pain to carry around but far more effective.

I've never used more than a squeeze and a shake.

I sit, squeeze and preferably wash with water afterwards. At the office I sometimes sneak into the disabled toilet because it does have a sink behind the locked door.

Toilet paper is the second option, but it leaves traces sometimes.

[โ€“] unnamed1@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago (10 children)

Shake is all you need. Whoever claims otherwise is not good at the shaking game
