So I’m a mom. My son potty trained himself basically-it was amazing. One day when he was a young toddler he just went to the bathroom, dropped trou and ripped his diaper off and stood at the toilet to pee. I taught him to dab after with a little toilet paper to prevent drippage.

So he still does this now and he’s 6 but my husband says that’s really weird.

  4. I find this strange, but as a man over 30, I can assure you that a quick dab is not stopping it from dripping once I leave the bathroom

  6. I don’t. It doesn’t sound like a bad thing to do but I would caution for him to make sure he doesn’t have leftover toilet paper stuck there.

  8. Most of my life, no. As I approach 50, I sometimes drip more afterwards, so it’s a case by case basis.

  9. Why is that weird exactly?? I don’t often do that but I wouldn’t call it weird.

  12. No matter how much you shake and dance, the last drops goes in your pants. Only an issue when going commando!

  13. Never have. It doesn’t do anything. You’d have to dab the urethra, where the extra liquid sits. Be sure to use high-quality TP.

  14. At his age it’s a weird thing to do. And in most setting he won’t be able to dab because there’s no toilet paper near a urinal.

  15. I typically dab first thing in the morning and I’ll dab before and after peeing sure why not

  20. You might find a random guy who does this but the vast majority of guys do not. He will be mercilessly teased if a kid in school ever sees him bring TP to the urinal or he tells his guy friends that he wipes his wiener after he pees.

    I think women and men fundamentally misunderstand how each other’s equipment works. It’s obvious why women need to wipe. It’s different for men. After you shake it, there might be one drop left, probably less than what is left over after a woman wipes.

  21. Urinals don’t have TP, so I’d say the standard is no.

    Men generally shake it off.

  22. From my own recent experience.

    Make sure he only catches the drip right at the top (squeeze and dab), not dab the whole head. I don’t know why I got into that habit, and within a week it was all dry, peeling, and not healthy at all.

  25. I dab. I know it’s weird and ‘gay’ or whatever and I genuinely don’t care. Worrying about what other people think of how you piss is clearly peak masculinity /s

  30. The game changer is when you realize you can pinch/squeeze starting at the base and ending at tip (to get the last few drops like a yogurt tube or capri sun).

    Welcome to civilization in the 21st century, ya filthy animals.

  31. There is no reason to dab after peeing. If you’re concerned with any leftover, make sure he shakes it off. But as someone else pointed out, there is no toilet paper at urinals so if you’ve taught him his whole life that he needs toilet paper to pee, you’re basically taking urinals away from him until he gets past your unnecessary lesson.

    When he’s in his late 30s is when he might need to start dabbing

  33. Common problem with us gents with gigantic dongs. Takes a look of milking and shaking to rid the pool

  35. I started to in my 30s. I feel like when I was younger the pressure was higher down there. So, in engineering terms, there was be more laminar flow. So the hose would drain completely. As i got older I realized not all the liquid was evacuating the hose and the low pressure dripping would get messy.

    So now I almost exclusively drop trow to pee, to prevent any fabric from kinking the hose at all. And then I take a little toilet paper to soak up the last few drops.

  37. Wiping the tip off will not stop it from dripping. It’s like wiping off the end of a slightly leaky faucet, it’ll stop on it’s own.
