I know some guys actually go to the trouble of using soap and hot water to wash up after going to the bathroom, but most guys I see just perfunctorily wave their hands under cold water for, oh, about 1 second on the way out the door, and I’ve always wondered how many guys do that just because somebody else is in the room.
So it’s time to fess up, guys… When you’re alone in the bathroom, do you bother washing your hands after peeing (I’m going to assume that EVERYBODY washes their hands after moving their bowels, since the alternative is just too nasty to consider…)?
I know that I always wash - soap and hot water - whether there are other people around or not. But being on a university campus, I’m always amazed at the number of people who don’t ever seem to wash their hands, just exit the stall then the restroom.
If I’m at home, or work, then yes, I always wash. If i’m at the pub, or in a club, then no, because I am convinced that my undercarriage is far cleaner than most, if not all public toilets
Yes, and if the sink is broken or the soap is all gone, I feel filthy until I can find somewhere to wash with soap. I’ve felt this way even before reading Cecil’s take on the matter.
I don’t see any reason to wash my hands after peeing, so I won’t do it unless someone I know is also in the restroom with me.
If you think about it, washing your hands involves touching the faucet handles that other people use right after they poop, so I don’t see how that is going to make your hands cleaner. For this reason I don’t flush, either.
I also don’t wash my hands when I’m at home. I use my sink as a urinal.
I always wash when the sink appears to be clean enough. Surreal, I hope to hell you are talking about flushing a urinal. Not flushing after the alternative is disgusting. (I think I could use my foot on a urinal Indygrrl, but missing has consequences not worth thinking about.) Surreal, guys have an advantage in this department. We can urinate without ever touching anything other than our, presumably clean, selves.
If the bathroom does not appear to be well kept, I flush the urinal with my elbow and do not wash as I feel cleaner that way. If the bathroom is well kept, I always wash.

He reported that, in ALL of the surfaces tested, it was found there was at least one form bacteria and/or virus on each surface, such as E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus and even fecal matter, just to name a few.*"
Public restrooms creep me out. But those I use often have auto flush.
Shucks, even our airport restrooms have this thing that pulls out plastic or paper that covers the seat automatically & when done, pulls it back in & changes it.
