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

    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

    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.

    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”.

    I’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.

    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.

      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.

    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… 🤮

        So, when sitting you still have to handle and direct the jet in the opposite direction. Because unless you sit facing the wall, I find piss will surf up the bowl, ripple between the edge and the seat-ring (dirty them), and, in a good day will lend on you calf.

        I personally sit down + wipe, but I’m quite prejudiced about other people with pp regarding their toilet manners (or manners in general, but that’s a bigger discussion…): I imagine the majority standing up, shaking and giving zero f*cks about in what state they leave the toilet :( but as I said, this is just my prejudice.

          Nothing quite so nice as having to adopt a ridiculously wide stance as far from the urinal as logistically possible to avoid standing in someone’s carelessness.

          I was sitting down and already thinking myself better than most men. End of last year I discovered wiping is a thing and it blew my mind on how I never even considered it before…

            (Except for those weirdly designed restrooms where the paper is place five light years away across the room) the solution to improved decency was but a few inches away 😁
