Over the Top for me too. Just easier that way. I wear boxer-briefs. I don’t recall ever actually explaining to me son how to do it. I think its just natural for you to go over the top. There really should be no teaching on how to hold it, that should be instinctual or common sense or something. Now if he dropped EVERYTHING to the floor to go pee, then yeah, some instruction would be in order. ---

And as you grow more experienced, you can use the OTT method to leave everything hanging freely so you can support yourself against the wall with your left hand and smoke with your right. This is an advanced maneuver which should not be attempted for the first time while wearing light coloured pants in public. ---

First, I look for a ceiling fixture I can hook the block-and-tackle to… 😉 Much like the above comment, I go OTT. ---

When I toilet trained a couple of little boys, it was OTT rather than through the peep-hole. Heck of a lot easier IMHO. In case you’re interested, it was taught using a pop bottle and _demonstrating_ the proper technique. ---

Well, I hardly ever wear underwear. Ever. However, when I do it’s an OTT situation. Just to keep it alive though, when I’m not, I usually either unzip and pull it out through there or unzip and unbutton and let fly that way. ---

Through the slot/out the zipper in public places, unbuttoned and over the top in private. Not sure why I feel the need to make a distinction, as I don’t really see myself as a particularly shy guy - I suspect I’d just rather not risk offending anybody else’s sense of propriety. Oh wait, I’ve got it - I don’t want to appear too threatening or take up too much space in public facilities. \Yeah, _that’s_ the ticket.\ ---

Over the top, too, although I may use the hole if I think it’s easier because of whatever I’m wearing (many times I’m wearing shirt-stays which make it difficult to hike my shirt out of the way). I’ve actually never even heard of nor seen the leg hole routine. ---

As the wife in question who asked such a silly question as to inspire the OP 🙂 I always wondered what the little hole was for… my father (the only male I ever saw pee until being married) always pulled everything down. Then I learned why the hole was there somehow and it seemed like a huge PITA! If that isn’t what the flaps are for then what do they do? Allow for extra oxygen? Not in a pair of jeans they don’t! It must be really nice though to not have to take half your clothes off just to pee! This is probably the only instance I would ever have of penis envy 😉 Our daughter for some reason comes tearing into the bathroom the second she hears pee hit the water. I’m hoping this interest will translate into some potty use of her own very soon 🙂 ---

OTT. When I was very young - elementary school, I went through the flap, but as I got older and, well, larger, it started getting to be too much work and more _dangerous_. Another interesting thing about women … After being together for at least 7 years, my wife came into the bathroom one day as I was sitting on the toilet reading a magazine. She stopped dead in her tracks and gave me a thuroughly disgusted look. I said, “What?” She, “Ew! I don’t know guys let it hang in the bowl when they went. That’s so dirty.” Me, “What else would I do?” She, “I kinda thought you let it rest on the seat or something.” I, of course, was baffled. Often, when you crap, you have to pee as well. So if I rested my little trooper on the seat while I went, he’s be vomiting all over the floor. I fail to see how this is better than letting him hang in the bowl. I do have one friend who rests it on the seat, but he’s enormously fat and can’t do it any other way. Um, well I guess that’s enough outta me! ---

Over the top (with both boxers and briefs). I usually wipe as well to get rid of those last few drops that wont come out when shaking. ---

For all the wipers, is it safe to assume you don’t use stalls not urinals? Or do you walk from urinal to stall with your johnson hanging out and get a piece of paper? Or do you first get paper at the stall? And by the way, this is certainly a minority behavior, I for one have never seen it. ---

Maybe I have only another few months to go before we hit that comfort level! 😉 ---

Me? I don’t wear underwear, so I just lift my leg up to the urinal, pull up my pants cuff a little bit and let 'er rip. Then, I wipe the tip of my schlong with a bit of TP so as not to get any drips on my shoe. ---

I pull down the front, unless I’m wearing a cummerbund, in which case I have to feed it through. ---

Why in the hell do you wear underwear? Sounds to me like they just get in the way. Briefs are too tight, at least one’s for my waist size. Boxers under jeans…useless, so fuck that! At home, 'round the yard…etc. I’ll wear boxers ONLY!!! I’ve been know to throw on a shirt, usually a tank top and sandals. That’s it, go wherever dress as such. Oh, the OP…in jeans, unzip and unleash. Boxers, mine have a big fly for easy access. Damn, what a question. ---

“No matter how you shake and dance The last drop always falls in your pants.” OTT always when wearing boxer-briefs. OTT when wearing boxers with button fly. Thru the flap when wearing boxers with open fly. I never dab when wearing boxer briefs. Sometimes dab when wearing boxers. ALWAYS dab when wearing silk boxers. ---

I completely drop trow and let everyone stare at my ass. (Okay, I don’t but there is always some kid in the restroom at theaters, etc. that is doing so. Once I happened upon a father in the middle of training his son on the nuts and bolts of uninal etiquette. It went like this: “No, don’t completely drop em - don’t show people your butt… okay, now go up to it BUT DON’T TOUCH IT (the urinal), it’s dirty… okay, LET IT RIP!” It was a heartwarming episode if I ever saw one.) And anyone that rests their junk (love that term) on the seat while dooking is setting themselves up for some nastiness; unless the water level in the bowl is really high, or you have a gland problem, you’re not touching anything with your wang. The seat, on the other hand, has been streame, splashed and otherwise mucked up. The only time I wear breifs or boxer-briefs is at the gym, and there and pull down the elastic and let my manhood hang out. Otherwise, I wear boxers (with extra large manhood-holes) and snake it out through my fly for access. With practice, a little luck, and fierce determination, I believe this technique could be utlized by all. As for the snaking it out the leg hole, I must have a huge ding-dong or something, because it would be smashed to a point of no p-ossibility if I tried that route.
