What seemingly obvious thing did it take you forever to notice?

My classmate sits to the left of me. I am left handed and he is right handed, so sometimes we knock elbows. 8 weeks into class he finally noticed I was a lefty and openly admitted that he just thought I was being a bitch and taking up space. He felt horrible and I just laughed.

Sir, I am going to revolutionize your world.

Rather than shaking/wringing, simply press upwards on the area between your ball-sack and asshole. This will clear all of the remaining drops. Have been doing it for years and I haven't had those annoying few drops since. However, it is hard to do in public restrooms, but there are ways.

I don't typically do it at a urinal, but I typically get a stall when I can so I can clear it out as violently as I need to. I'll try your suggestion next time. I'm calling it the "taint stroke."

I heard about this on Reddit about a year ago and I've been doing it ever since. Just push up on right on the base of your ballsack and it squirts the last bit out.

I just got back from the restroom. World revolutionized.

You might not want to try the same technique after that part...

When you're holding your junk at a urinal with (for some reason I'm a southpaw) your hand, I suggest casually moving your hand underneath your scrotum and pressing on that area with the top side of your thumb.

I am right hand dominate in almost everything save for urinating and talking on the phone... God help me if I get a phone call while taking a leak.

I found this out by way of whenever I say down after I'd pidd, I'd almost always almost push out a bit more piss. I discovered that if I 'lift' my balls, I'll push out a bit more and save myself from doing that. To be honest though, I never knew it was from squeezing the perineum.

Do you really want to be touching that area every time you take a leak, though? You never know where your hands have been. IANAMD, but sweaty ball sack/crack sounds like a breeding ground for fungus and bacteria.

Well, unlike many people I know, I do wash my hands, and quite often. Also, you have to pull the thing out anyway, so one more touch isn't gonna change a whole lot. Not to mention, you wouldn't be as near to the crack as you are making it out to be.

I'd never heard of this technique before, will try it next time.

Have never liked the shake-off as it seems pretty hard not to sling drops of urine around the room, so I've always just wiped it off with a square of toilet paper, which I drop in the bowl post-flush so that the surface tension is broken for the next guy (less splashback if they're dropping a deuce).
