Taking a (the) piss. Handy hints from MoFi.This takes the cake.
*efficiently urination for males:
first of all, learn to urinate while in a seated position. It is more relaxing, less spray intensive, and the spreading of the loins allows for a relatively thorough emptying of the bladder. Spread legs slightly for optimal effect.(There's a lot mi)

I also found this post extremely useful - and hopefully my friends can now choose a new nickname for me, other than "old man wetpatch".

This technique really deserves its own website. Sitzpinkler.com appears to be taken. Does it have a name? How about The Grip and Grin?

I was going to make a comment about whether or not this technicque would prevent pee shivers, and I see the doctor says that this only affects males. I don't think that's totally accurate as I get them all the time. Ladies? Do you concur?

Do NOT do the robot in front of hoot owls. It makes them cross. Science cannot explain it.

Well, I'm certainly glad that I now know how to piss properly, as well as shave.

Ask MeFi had a very entertaining discussion about this very topic, complete with raging debate over "li-ness" -- that is the cleanliness/manliness (or lack thereof) of not only sitting while peeing but also wiping afterward.

I'm picturing one of those cool "Safety In The Workplace" kind of posters with diagrams and stuff? I can't read and pee at the same time.

Giving a piss is much better than taking one.
Unless you like golden showers.
OK, I'll piss off now.

Metafilter isn't always worth the five bucks. Especially not since they started letting everyone in.

This world's full of challenges
Some are big and some are small
War, greed, pollution
Might take some time to solve 'em all
But if a long march starts with just one step
There's one I'd like to mention
If you live with your nostrils open
Perhaps it's come to your attention
(Chorus)
If the revolution starts at home
Then let me tell you this
Stand up for your rights, boys
But sit down to piss
If you've ever lived with other people
You may know what I mean
Who's gonna wash the dishes
And get the bathtub clean
As we scrub the tear gas from our eyes
The issue may seem so little
But what might make or break the movement
Is exactly how you piddle
(from David Rovics, "Sit Down to Piss"--apparently a popular movement, no pun intended, among leftist Germans)

Pffft. It's just one more excuse to play with the equipment. And, uh, debralee - you're on your own with that one.

Piss discussions like this always make me think of Joe Piscopo and the Sta-free Peenie Pads commercial on SNL.

This really is a public service...no...not pubic service. I'm glad to know that there's an actual technique for this. Thanks for the heads up. (Abso-freakin'-lutely no pun intended here.) I will have to pass it on to D.H. Maybe the toilet will stay cleaner, longer...and isn't that what it's all about folks?

You now have a pinch grip, so go ahead and squeeze your fingers. Once you have a firm grip in squeezed position, slide your hand upwards, in the direction of your shaft. The loose skin will allow you to do this without actually sliding your fingers against the skin. This will bring any residual urine up to the shaft area. If you do it right, your balls won't get in the way, since they can hang to the side.
Continue to slide your right hand upwards, and those last residual drops of urine will exit your urethra, at which point you can let them drip onto your left fingers, or absorb them with tissue paper. Either way, be sure to wash hands thoroughly.
Say goodbye to urine drip forever. This is the best technique I have developed for such purposes.
It sounds complicated, but I just wanted to give as unambiguous and detailed description as possible. In reality, it takes a couple extra seconds, and is very easy and intuitive.
