Why do most people wash their hands after they go pee instead of before? This is what I have always done, but after some thought, I feel that it is more optimal to wash your hands before you go pee instead of after. The reason is because your hands are strong. Your hands can have as much germs on them or be as dirty as you want, and they will be fine. Your wiener on the other hand, gets easily infected. It would make more sense to wash your hands before you go pee so you don't make your wiener all dirty.


Now here are 3 separate scenarios outlining the difference between washing your before you pee and washing your hands after you pee

Scenario #1: How dirty does it get down there?

Wash before pee - You had a long adventure today. Maybe your hands are covered in sweat and tears from a painful day. Maybe your hands are covered in blood from a knife fight. Or maybe your hands are covered in strange bacteria and fungi. But all of that no longer matters when the luke warm water runs through your fingers, washing it all away. You are left with the refreshing feeling of clean skin as you make your way to the urinal to empty some urine.

Pee before wash - You had a long adventure today. Not only is it all on your hands, it's also now on your wiener!

Scenario #2: Shaking someone's hand after you go do other stuff

After you leave the washroom and go do other stuff, you hands become covered in everything you touch, so they're dirty now. If you shake my hand, all that stuff goes onto my hands, and all the stuff on my hands goes onto yours. Having a little more or little less pee on your hands at the start won't make a difference.

Scenario #2: Shaking someone's hand after you leave the washroom

Wash before pee - I shake your hand as I bid you Good Evening. You feel a little embarrassed that your hand had a little something on them. However after shaking my hand, you feel that there's a little something extra on my hand as well. We may have only just met, but we both know that we just shared a special manly bond, and in this moment I feel closer to you than I have ever felt with another person before.

Pee before wash - I shake your hand. I feel the soft gentleness of your skin, and praise you on the cleanliness of your hand, but in my mind, I know what you had to sacrifice for your hands to be this clean. I know where all the dirt and germs went.



So anyways, prior to reading this, did you wash your hands before you went pee or after you went pee?

I wash after, and wash before depending on what I was doing. I work in a lab, so I am definitely not risking something sneaking past my gloves.
How does it feel knowing you wasted another 3 seconds of your life reading this again?

You should include in the second poll "I do not wash my hands before or after I pee and I still will not wash my hands".

I never got the point of washing hands re pee. Are people accidentally pissing all over their hands or something? If I'm in a public toilet I'll do it out of courtesy, but that's all.

The point of washing after is for the benefit of others not yourself. Although it's true we touch dirty things all the time anyways, I think it's more the idea of it that grosses people out.

I have to change my underwear after going pee because it drips down and makes a huge wet spot. Especially right as soon as I get into bed.

interesting point but i don't think the weiner is that easily infected because most people don't wash before they pee. imagine how many hours you can save in a year by not doing prewash.

To be honest your idea about washing before is great, and actually makes a lot of sense.

But lets not kid ourselves, its just the same concept about touching your cock then not washing after. Sure you may not piss like a maniac but smell is particles of said substance. Closer you are the more you get on your hand. Now coupled with your cock possibly being dirty already from sitting in a sweat pit between hair, pants and what have you it really only makes as much sense to wash after as before hahaha.

Fear not my friend, I have made a thread in the past just for that very problem!

I don't want to give too big a spoiler on my next thread, but since toilet seats are so dirty, I have experimented with ways to avoid sitting while shitting. One way that I'm trying to learn now is one where I do a handstand in front of the toilet, and try to shoot poop into the toilet. I called it "Basketball Poop".

Oh really? I've had one or two nail groove infections in my life, but never has my dick been infected.
That wasn't any act of God. That was an act of pure human fuckery.

I dunno man, the wiener is a dirty place in the first place so unless your hands are pretty dirty from like touching poo or something it doesn't make much difference to wash before. In any case, don't people just keep their hands clean anyway or is it just me?
