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

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 week ago

Yep. Good catch.

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

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 33 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 week ago

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!

[-] 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.

Yep, saw a comment like this on Reddit and as I’ve aged it’s become critical.

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... 🤮

[-] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

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.

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.

[-] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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...

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.

Just peeing makes a cloud of urine droplets. Quit being judgemental douche

[-] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 21 points 1 week ago

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.

Do you shake your ass after taking a dump? No? Why not? There’s your answer.

And wash that damn ass.

If I'm in a puble washroom, I knock it against the side of the urinal.

[-] stringere@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago

or do you do the shake and dance

Hey macarena!

[-] rowinxavier@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 7 points 1 week 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.

[-] brb@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago

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

I hit it with a cricket bat. It’s kind of a pain to carry around but far more effective.

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

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I squeeze, and then wipe the tip, especially if I'm naked and getting back into bed (not wearing underwear to catch a little drip). Dancing only occurs if I really gotta pee, and can't.

[-] unnamed1@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago

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

[-] MolochHorridus@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

Or uses the toilet after “a proficient shaker” or worse yet, has to clean said toilet after group of “proficient shakers” have done their business.

[-] unnamed1@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago

In the few instances in my life of ever losing a drop in the seat I cleaned it away. It’s not hard. It’s just about not being an asshole to others

[-] MolochHorridus@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

Microsplatters though. It may seem the stream is solid, but it ain’t.

[-] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

The simple act of peeing makes a cloud of microsplatters on its own

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.
