I've sailed past the 30 mark and I've noticed in recent years that the Devil's drip after urinating is getting worse.
I'm a male in pretty good shape, exercise, and regularly have erections/orgasms. I thought my "mind-muscle connection" with my pelvic floor muscles would be fairly good, and even practice Kegel exercises after I piss, so why all the leakage?
I've got a working theory that it might be down to too much sitting. In the same way people lose the ability to fully flex their glutes even when they try, the same is probably true of the pelvic floor.
I think I'll adjust the height of my desk and stand when possible and report back to you lads.
What do you lads think? What is it in the physiology that makes this occur?
Do you think you got more sensitive to the drip or did it actually get worse? As in, are you leaking post pee or are you more bothered that you dribble a bit?
I'm uncomfortably close to my 40s and noticed similar, I was quite sporty before the work-from-home times so I don't think that was the issue. There are basically no occluding muscles between your urethral sphincter and your glans, so you have a couple of inches of "dead" pipe which no amount of training or will power can empty on its own.
Lightly pinch the base of your shaft with thumb and forefinger on either side and run it up to your bellend. You can't do this at a busy urinal but it works.
I'd still mention this to a doctor which should be the policy for anything slowly knackering with time. Your theory seems off like the otherlad said, I'm not in shape at 32 and certainly not now but don't have the issue which can only be explained by all the wanking I do. Do more of that possibly?
You know, I was actually thinking about making a thread on this exact issue myself. It's not just you lad.
I thought it was because I've been putting too much up my arse as I've gotten older and more deviant, leaving the muscles saggier and weaker, like a leather sofa you've been sitting on for ten years. But I am more rationally compelled to believe it's just age.
The mystery is why it was so much less of an issue as a younger man. What exactly has changed here, considering the fundamental anatomy is the same.
