I usually don’t hang on to it at all while I’m peeing. It knows what to do. I do however, shake with my left hand.(dominant hand) I have heard that in middle eastern countries, that males use **sand** to sop up any dribbles left on their ding dongs. I was told that there is a bucket type thingy next to the urinal. After the pee, Abdul rolls Mr. Winky in the sand and thwacks it a couple of times to get the sand off. Is this true? It sounds pretty bizarre…but I’ve heard that some people wear wooden shoes and eat whole herring…raw.😃 ---

Either hand works just fine for me. My problem is that the bottom of those urinals are always so cold. ---

Well, I must be weird. I’m left handed and I still use my right hand for all major penis-related activities. Good lord, that’s the second post in a row today I’ve admitted this. I should probably get away from the SDMB for a day or two. ---

Most flys are right-handed (the zipper is best operated with the right hand), so the right hand gets the job by default. ---

Old joke from my childhood: What does the Jolly Green Giant sing when he takes a pee? It takes two hands to handle a Whopper. ---

It’s the right for pee. When it comes to the other, I use the right and his brother. ---

Did it myself when i was out there with the ARMY. as for the OP. Left hand dominant, uses whichever is available for peeing, masturbating (i said it first!), and all other functions i suppose. i write with my left hand, paint with my right when up on an easel though, and use a mouse with either hand on the comp. so i suppose i’m just a super freak. ---
