Here's my philosophy on washing your hands after peeing (for guys, I don't know exactly how it works for girls, nor do I want to know). Here's the deal. I wake up in the morning and hop right in the shower, wash my ding dong, then put on a clean pair of underwear. Now from then until 24 hours later when I wake up and do the exact same thing, my ding dong never leaves my underpants.
My HANDS, on the other hand (pun, ha!), touch EVERYTHING. Computer, dog, pencil, crusty guitar strings, boogers...everything. By the time I enter the restroom, my hands are absolutely filthy. So if we've established that when I go pee, my hands are dirty, my wiener is squeaky clean, and I don't touch anything but my wiener...why then, should I wash my hands after I go pee?
That's right, I wash my hands BEFORE I pee. I clean all the dirt and crap off my dirty ass hands before I touch my pristine pen0r. As long as I don't pee all over my hands, which I generally don't do, I have no reason to wash my hands after I urinate. I don't touch the seat, as I have my own restroom which I do not share at home, so the seat is always up. When I'm in a public bathroom, I just don't flush the toilet. It's simple. You can all thank me for the pro advice. I know you will all be washing your hands after you pee from now on.
It doesn't take account of aerosoling when you pee.
The pee you can see isn't all the pee, some of it is aerosoling invisibly and floating around, and touching your hands, your clothes, everything.
You can smell pee, correct? That means there are air bourne particles of pee, and the highest concentration is where? That's right, right at your hands.
So wash them, just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there.
Actually, I don't think the aerosoling particles are a big deal. I thought about this and I knew someone would bring it up. Apparently when you go pee, particles get all over everything in the room, including your toothbrush and hairbrush. You stick your toothbrush in your mouth...but it never harms you. You get particles of all kinds of nasty stuff all over you throughout the day that don't affect you at all. I figure piss particles are pretty harmless. In fact, next time I go pee, I'm going to piss looking down at the toilet with my mouth wide open because I'm such a stud.
Actually, if you got pee particles on your hands then you wash them, they would instantly get pee particles on them again after you wash them because there are still pee particles in the air, WHICH means that washing your hands afterwards is pointless and a waste of time.
Plus...isn't sweat kind of an issue? I mean...it is in a place where sweating can occur, so...I wouldn't say that it is in "pristine cleanliness condition".
