When a man does a pee does he wiggle he end so to speak or dab with toilet paper? The only reason I ask is that with four "men" in the house the use of toilet paper seems to be extremely high. I always thought men wiggled but it appears I may have been wrong all this time. Clarification would be much appreciated.

I do both!

Good question, I've wondered this before but never asked.

I've noticed (during this time of loo roll shortage, otherwise I wouldn't monitor such things) we seem to use a lot. I asked my husband why/how he uses so much loo roll. He replied "I'm a heavy shitter" ShockShockConfused

Some men can't sit down to wee because their parts hang in the water.

Some men lie about how big their cocks are.
Look at the water level. There is no way anyone’s dick is touching that

Of course, they won't reach anywhere near the water (if it were that long, he could probably stand up and the end would efficiently reach below the rim of the bowl, so no 'splash-journey' at all) - but there is still the common hazard of the Porcelain Kiss.

Turns out that when you're at a festival and have had some drink, you're more likely to piss down your leg despite all the practice at home.

I thought the festival tradition was to wee in an empty pint glass and just leave it on the ground nearby to inevitably get kicked over - or, for the truly disgusting, to hold the glass tightly and hurl the contents high up in the air, to land somewhere in the unsuspecting crowd Envy

My best friend was a wiper. At a visit to a GUM clinic when he had non-specific urethritis, the Scottish doctor advised him to do so, saying "No matter how you shake your peg, the last wee drop runs doon your leg".

Best friend is in the past tense because he is no longer with us, btw, not because we fell out.

@MrsOrMiss, is it "One up, one down, one sideways"?

My dad used to say that!

Drogonssmile · 06/05/2020 07:07

My DH dabs, the two kids wiggle all I over the bloody place. I find all of them use far more toilet roll than is needed when doing a poo though.....

TheSerenDipitY · 06/05/2020 07:11

coming from a family of commercial fishermen, most of them sit to pee ( as its easier on a large fishing boat to sit rather than risk falling over in a large swell) , not sure if they wipe or shake afterwards, but i have learnt that my son places toilet paper in the base to stop splashing as he pees, which is way we are going thru twice as much paper a day

I wonder if DP is a secret dabber.

I only work 3 mornings a week, so me WFH shouldn't make much difference to bog roll consumption, but DP is f/t and working WFH.

Dabbing might go some way to explaining how the bog roll usage has doubled since lockdown. Well, that, and the not going out anywhere at all, I suppose.

He replied "I'm a heavy shitter"

Man poos can be utterly horrendous can’t they. I nearly had to declare a major incident once.

TooTrueToBeGood · 06/05/2020 10:09

I wonder if DP is a secret dabber.

Sounds likely, but what is he dabbing? Pee or baby gravy?

DysonFury · 06/05/2020 10:59

Hey mostly shake it I think, and more than 3 shakes constitutes the starting of a wank. Xxx

SimonJT · 06/05/2020 11:03

A wiggle doesn’t work as it doesn’t remove the bit of wee that’s still in the urethra. The best way is gently grip the base of your penis with thumb and forefinger and run your fingers downwards, the slight grip pushes the last of your wee out, then you dry with toilet paper. Otherwise a few minutes later that little bit of wee will make an appearance.

GroEggAndHam · 06/05/2020 11:24

"Poo mitten" Grin

DH now sits for a wee after a suspicious mark appeared around head height behind the loo where he leaned against the wall 🙄

Ninkanink · 06/05/2020 11:28

My DH does the run-along squeeze of the urethra plus the dab. He’s fastidious about hygiene, and in return I very much fancy the pants off him, as it were. Wink

Nanny0gg · 06/05/2020 11:36

I've never heard of anyone washing it under the tap before!

mrsmalcolmreynolds · 06/05/2020 14:32

Justaboy I believe so (not totally sure as he'd shed the habit by the time we lived together). No one taught him, it was something he'd come up with himself at some point as he thought it kept his clothes fresher and was somehow cleaner overall. He was quite normal in other respects!

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 06/05/2020 14:44

I remember in a thread a little while ago about weird habits that folk you know have, more than one poster mentioned they knew of people who would completely remove every single item of clothing before having a poo - tops as well.

Obviously can't ever have experienced the uncomfortable phenomenon of touching cloth, otherwise they'd never have had the time to, erm, touch all of that cloth in order to remove it first....

TheSandman · 06/05/2020 15:09

I once walked into a public toilets to find a bloke with his trousers and pants down at his knees having a pee at a urinal. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a cottaging come on - the toilets of a National Trust property on a busy sunny Saturday afternoon hardly seems the place for casual pickups (but I may be wrong) - nice arse though.

Seems peoples ideas of important questions dramatically differ ..

viccytwiffy · 06/05/2020 17:30

so curtesy of the last boyfriend that i am ecstatic not to have here, he tells me: men 'cross pea'. sometimes the tiny pee hole has a flat of skin that causes a 'cross flow, that is the pee going left and right (and not straight ahead.) it usually means that the pea goes up the walls on either side, dont you sometimes notice a sticky substance on the wall? cross pee.

VICP03 · 06/05/2020 17:37

Dab, Dab. That's what my boys have been told to do.... no dribble stains here

lily2403 · 06/05/2020 17:40

My partner and son dab it with toilet roll, I prefer this to it being wiggled all over the place 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

noosmummy12 · 06/05/2020 17:40

Hubby enjoys a relaxed sit down pee and so I can only assume from the amount of time he’s there he lets it air dry until it turns to dust.

Flipflopalops · 06/05/2020 17:43

I think if you save money on less toilet roll you'd only be spending it on more washing ...cos if they don't dab the dribble's going in the boxers !
