Shake it once (that's fine), possibly shake it twice (that's ok), but never three times (that's playing with yourself)

I usually cauterize it with my cigarette.
I swab it out
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
Shake it three times You're playing with yourself again
This is propaganda from people who want you to have piss stains, shake it shake it shake it!
Shake it like a Polaroid picture!

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

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.

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

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".
Lucky you, it started happening to me at 30
Same here...
Yep.
Also shout out to "Desperation", great book.
Thanks, I usually get all my literature recommendations from threads about urinary incontinence.
Push up on your taint and the last bit will squirt out. Helps with the weakened prostate.

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.
or do you do the shake and dance
Hey macarena!
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... 🤮
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.
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...

If I'm in a puble washroom, I knock it against the side of the urinal.
SLAP! This babys not going anywhere
For anyone confused, this is because not releasing the excess kinetic energy (that way or another) can cause it to flee, usually at the most inopportune of times

Helicopter with hands behind head
I hit it with a cricket bat. It’s kind of a pain to carry around but far more effective.
I milk it couple times and then tap the tip with toilet paper once
Shake is all you need. Whoever claims otherwise is not good at the shaking game
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.

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.
