Wipe mine on a baby rabbit. So soft.

Single use and flushable.

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

[–] spykee@lemmings.world 2 points 6 days ago

My Anaconda is usually unruly.
So I gotta do battle-rope type whipping to get the last drops out.
Creates massive sonic-booms in the urinals every time I whipcrack.

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)

[–] modus@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I usually cauterize it with my cigarette.

[–] Flyzeyez@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I swab it out

hold the dancing tho

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 32 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

OH MY GOD, IVE NEVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THOSE LYRICS BEFORE.

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

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 17 points 1 week 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.

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week 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!

[–] titter@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days 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.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I imagine guys in a public toilet seeing you reach into the pants to finger your taint.

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.

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

You're doing it wrong now but of course that is your right. Shake it dry, zip up.

[–] MolochHorridus@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

And wash that damn ass.

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 5 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.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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".

[–] arin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lucky you, it started happening to me at 30

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Same here...

or do you do the shake and dance

Hey macarena!

[–] emotional_soup_88@programming.dev 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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 13 points 1 week 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.

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

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

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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