I usually cauterize it with my cigarette.

[–] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wipe mine on a baby rabbit. So soft.

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

Single use and flushable.

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

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 41 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Niether.

I wring mine out. 😤

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 11 points 4 days ago

Yeah you gotta peench that urethra, boyee

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 40 points 4 days ago (4 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

[–] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Ugh, knew I should have checked this thread further before posting, it's such an obvious pull.

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

[–] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 16 points 4 days ago (3 children)

This is propaganda from people who want you to have piss stains, shake it shake it shake it!

Shake it like a Polaroid picture!

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 34 points 4 days 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 19 points 4 days 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 4 points 2 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 2 days ago

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

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.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

You just get a new one?

Never paper. And almost never need to shake it.

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 6 points 3 days ago (2 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 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Lucky you, it started happening to me at 30

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Same here...

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah that won't look strange at a line of urinals.

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

It doesn’t, it just looks like I’m shoving my junk back into my pants. Basically push up right behind the balls.

I swab it out

[–] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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 2 days ago

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

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 days ago

or do you do the shake and dance

Hey macarena!

[–] MolochHorridus@piefed.social 14 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

And wash that damn ass.

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 17 points 4 days 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.

[–] brb@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 days ago

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

[–] rowinxavier@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days 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.

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 7 points 4 days 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.

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

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.
