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

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
You do not want to come between a urinal and it's toilets
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.
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.
or do you do the shake and dance
Hey macarena!
I milk it couple times and then tap the tip with toilet paper once
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!
Yep, saw a comment like this on Reddit and as I’ve aged it’s become critical.
Helicopter with hands behind head
Niether.
I wring mine out. 😤
Yeah you gotta peench that urethra, boyee

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!

¿Por qué no los dos?
I hit it with a cricket bat. It’s kind of a pain to carry around but far more effective.
In an emergency, a tennis racket can be made to work just as well
Try a curling broom. You'll thank me later
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.
Do you shake your ass after taking a dump? No? Why not? There’s your answer.
And wash that damn ass.
I mean sometimes when you've got a hanger...
Squeeze then wipe, shake if toilet paper isn't available (urinal)
I've never used more than a squeeze and a shake.
spoiler
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.
