    Everyone who wants to avoid urinary incontinence issues should do pelvic floor exercises. I don’t see it spoken about for men as much as women (women are advised to do this during and after pregnancy especially), but everyone can benefit from it.

    To identify the feeling of contracting your pelvic floor muscles, try stopping peeing when you’re mid stream (though this is just to help you identify them — you shouldn’t regularly practice this way, as it can lead to UTIs).

    The way to practice is to squeeze your pelvic floor muscles, trying not to pull your tummy in (or to squeeze your glutes). Hold this for two seconds, then relax. Repeat 10 times. Doing this daily is advised, and over time, you can increase the amount of time you hold the squeeze for to up to 10 seconds. Try to breathe normally while you do this exercise.

    In addition to being the best way to prevent urinary incontinence, it can also help with sexual performance too. You can practice basically any time. I often find myself practicing while I’m in traffic, because it’s something to help fill the time.

    Huh? I’m well near retirement and it’s just pee until it stops, a few drops, that’s it.

      Sure thing. Will shove my hand between my legs and press it really good in a public urinal. That will totally look normal.

        you just reach like 1 or 2 fingers, about half and inch past where your balls end, push up a bit, it can be done inconspicuously. I do it every time now out of habit.

          I think my balls are bigger than yours, cause that don’t work unless I do quite a bit of moving things about.

        0% chance I’m doing that. How much piss are these guys dribbling to make it worth it?

    that’s why the advice goes to pull up on it as you pull your pants up so that the drips will be minimized

    Uh…yeah because why would shaking it do anything? You have to relax your bladder, and squeeze like an udder. Do people not know how were constructed, or what?

    A year or two ago, I was having a wee and was thinking about how women dry with TP and us men are just degenerates that shake it around. I jokingly thought about creating a “wankerchief” that guys could keep around and calling it a “Peter Patter”.

    It definitely made me giggle far too much. It’s a disgusting premise to carry around a piss covered rag, but the names I thought were on point.

      I’ve been to several retail establishments that have reminded me of the NYE episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

    Situation permitting, tuck a finger underneath and apply some pressure to your taint area or so at the end of your pee. Sometimes the plumbing needs a bit of help.

    That should do it.

    I haven’t used a urinal since 2001 for exactly this reason. Also, sitting to pee is the only way to go if one has an unfeasibly large prostate.

        With a sharpie, duh. Didn’t they teach you that in 4th grade? And if you put your phone number below it, hot chicks will call you day and night to hold hands. That nugget is from 6th grade.

    We need penis clips… Like a bag of chips. I think exercising yo prostate like when you get a boner and you make that thang jump. Keep cranking for you health ya’ll. Row row your boat gently down the stream. Life is embarrassing big whoop. Wanna fight about it.
