going commando:
Another amplified problem is the classic wet-spots-on-your-pants-after-pissing issue. As every man can attest, one must thoroughly shake after relieving ones' self at the urinal. If you're wearing underwear, the consequences aren't too bad; with boxers or boxer-briefs some urine may dribble down your leg and end up creating a tiny wet spot near your legs, but if you're going commando you can expect much more of a show if you're not careful, and much of it will be right near your special spot, forcing you to pull your shirt down to cover it or simply face the music and hope nobody notices.
What I want to ask is: At which point did men decide to NOT use the novel invention of toilet paper to take care of the last few drops which stubbornly remain after urinating? Was it somehow declared "womanly" to do so, by the mysterious powers-that-decide-what-is-acceptable-for-men? Or was it simply never offered as an option at public urinals, with the behavior then carrying over to home toilets where paper is available? I for one would much rather mop up with paper than have a huge visible pee stain on my khakis, thank you very much.
