Well, I generally don't pee on my hands and my peepee is not a dirty body part.

There's the other thing that fresh urine from a healthy man is actually sterile. Not so with women of course.

We should also have no stalls or barriers between toilets. Actually, women should be required to use urinals like men do. Evolve, ladies.


Sure, just give me a funnel!

So when you've peed on your hand and you are shaking hands with someone you just say "Don't worry, it's fresh,"

Not if you use your foot. Women do that a lot.

Smegma collectors aside (and while I did think about that in my original posts, I don't have experience with other men's tackle, so I just figured the average person took care of that in the morning shower).

I'll argue this point until the cows home.

Yes, you've described the storage area well, except that it isn't all that wet except on hot days when ballsack sweat starts up. It's pretty much the same environment that my bicep is in, but somehow I don't see people getting grossed out when, after scratching a bicep, a person doesn't wash his/her hand.

Due to my upbringing I am partial to washing my hands afterwards, but, the dirtiest things in the public restrooms are the taps and the door handles, and not the wangs.

Classy.

This reminds me of a movie "Harold and Kumar Goes to White Castle." In this movie they hide in a women's bathroom and between them are these two beautiful chicks that they like. However after the the bathroom event they changed their minds. When they heard and smelled the ladies farts they completely lost interest in them. Imagine finding out that beautiful women fart and that their sh_t stinks-that would just wreck the illusion forever, I like my illusions and do not want face the reality that women fart.

If people wash well enough there is no area on the human body that will stay nasty all by itself. That being said, people just don't have the time to wash that often, one shower a day is probably average. I guess it would take about three hours for some stinky bacteria to grow in a hospitable environment, and crotches with all of their moist warm crevices are just that sort of area. And how much urine can a jiggle really take care of anyway? There is bound to be some residue.

Although this may have been posted as a joke, I suspect this is precisely the kind of humiliation the sadists who thought of this policy had in mind.

While women have been known to become warm and moist in the crotch from time to time, men only dribble and drip if they have an infection.

If this has been your experience with men that they dribble and drip, I recommend that you get a shot of penicillin quickly.

Nope. There is not bound to be some residue. Maybe some guys don't give it the extra whiplash flick, but inertia can clear the male urethra (could probably clear the female urethra as well, but it's easy to shake a wang than a torso to get the right velocity).

yaaaa....this is T.M.I. And I'm not sure if it's entirely true.

Haha, thanks for your concern, but I was referring to the humidity in there. It gets warm, sweat happens (even just a little) and it gets moist- not towel dry moist, just not very dry.

I remain skeptical. Even an amount of urine too small to form a droplet can still breed some bacteria.

Yes. On a hot day it gets hot. That brings me back to my biceps point. Do you find it gross when somebody scratches their biceps and doesn't wash? The dirtiness of willies is a Victorian thing (except, as noted earlier, the smegma collectors) and comes from prudery rather than fact and common sense.

Probably not. Urine doesn't have much bacteria to begin with and was actually used as an antiseptic and antibacterial at different points in history. The urethra does have some bacteria, but it pretty much is all pushed out at the beginning of the action of taking a whazz, and from mid-pee to end, it's a clean tube.

You can drink urine and there has been a recent trend called urine therapy (actually, it's only recently become popular -- it's been around for years in India and German pornos). While the science is dubious, it doesn't kill anybody.

Still, having made my case, I want to point out that I still wash my hands after bleeding the lizard because that's the way I was raised.
