Thank goodness for SD, where I can properly air this question.
Many years ago, I had a hotel quickie on a rug in a woman’s bathroom, as her roommate slept in the bedroom. (_Et in Arcadia ego…_) Even while the credits were still rolling, she reached up and filled a small plastic glass with water, which I heartily drank down.
She looked at me kind of funny and laughed (which seemed rather a downer) and said the water was to dip my penis in, sort of like cock aftershave.
Just as I did then, I think she was a flake.
Has anyone ever heard of this whole dick-dipping thing?

Well you’re supposed to clean your naughty bits and urinate after sex to be 100% safe and clean, but just giving your dick a one-time dip doesn’t seem like it’s going to accomplish much.
I’ve never heard of such a practice but then again, I’m young and haven’t heard of a lot of antiquated practices. 😉

I scrub my monster cock immediately after sex. Can’t stand it sticking to my underwear.

I keep a spritz bottle besides the bed. Generally have sex in the evening, then have ah,
19:20 “girth spray”

I hope she wasn’t in the habit of putting the “dipping cup” back on the sink for the unsuspecting roommate to drink out of.

I can’t imagine what this would do? I probably would have been as 😕 as the OP.
Maybe this was her way of protecting you from something she knew she had 😉

I’ve never heard of such a thing. I usually drink the water, not give the dangly bits a wash. That’s what sitting in the shower in the dark doing the thousand-yard-stare is for.

“I would like to make a life-sized plaster cast replica of your penis, for future use. Please dip in this jar of molten plastic, pull out, and wait for it to cool and harden. Sorry, it’s like the plastic used for clamshell packaging, so you will undoubtedly lacerate your hands badly when you cut it off. You know, to kill two birds with one stone, let’s first coat your penis with this burn cream, which will also keep the plastic from sticking too much.”

I will often go and get my SO a warm washcloth and a glass of water afterwards - but I expect him to drink the water, not dip in it.

Good grief, tell me she didn’t call the other thing an ass bucket.

Maybe she wanted to see how much water you would displace? 🙂
Can’t imagine the purpose of dipping in a glass of water when you’re already in a bathroom. There’s a shower right there!

Maybe she is a nympho and was planning to make herself some man-juice tea. She actually probably had an encounter with some weirdo in the past, and assumed this experience taught her how to correctly use a penis.
The only reasons I see for an immediate clean-up is to prevent making a mess on your sheets/underwear, or to prevent a split/misdirected urine stream in the morning (think “thumb over the garden hose”).
I heard that years ago Bounty planned on making a glass specifically for this purpose, though. They called it the “dicker dipper cupper”.

Well had it been milk she might have been asking you to fill up your pecker again.

Post-coitus glass of water penis dip
Gotta say I’ve never seen that particular recipe on the back of any instant soup packets I’ve purchased.

Maybe her previous experiences with Austin Powers?
Austin Powers: Shall we shag now, or shall we shag later? How do you like to do it? Do you like to washup first? You know, top and tails…whores bath? Personally before I’m on the job, I like to give my undercarriage a bit of a how’s your father!
