I'm guilty of just rinsing my hands (i.e. just shoving my hands under a tap for a few seconds, without soap, regardless of hot or cold) after a wee, but of course I always use soap and hot water after the other one.

Urine is sterile, so whilst not nice isn't really going to do you much harm. Faeces on the other hand is different.

Hate to burst your bubble here Burnsy but it's sterile in all likelihood internally but not when it's passed out of your body and what they are holding won't be.
 
I was my hands about once every two hours.... not sure if I'm overdoing it but I can literally feel my hands being dirty.
 
Sometimes I do, Sometimes I don't. To be honest, my genitalia is usually cleaner than most public lavatories.

How do all you alcohol gel users cope? Do you not handle money? Do you sterilize yourself after you touch any surface that somebody else must have touched? Do you levitate into the public lav and manage not to touch any surface throughout the entire process?

What about the keypad on cash points? Some grotty monster might have been there five minutes before? Maybe getting 50 notes to pay the filthy, disease ridden skank whom he's recently had the pleasure of fussocking around in her festering orifices? Bet he didn't use hand gel?

Weirdly, I don't seem to get ill very often and I've yet to contract an STI despite being sexually active for 25 years!

I used to use spray, but it got a bit too annoying.

I do things like open push doors with my foot, press on keypads with my finger knuckle (no idea what to call them). If i have to touch something..... i touch either the very top or the very bottom. Say a string to turn the light on or off, I pull from the very top as less people probably touch that area.... I may have issues.
 
Do you wash your hands every time you touch your face? No? Then why you would wash your hands every time you took a whizz? Urine is sterile for starters and theres an awful lot more bacteria on your face than there is on your ****. Taking a dump is a different matter. Either way you'll still get far more bacteria on your hands from leaving the toilet than you would going through the motions after a bowel movement (provided you're able to control your hands).

I wash my hands after I've been to the toilet, but I'm under no illusion that it does sod all in the grand scheme of things other than convince my coworkers/friends/family that I employ a base level of hygiene and cleanliness.
 
If there's one thing I have slight OCD about it's washing my hands!

On a number of occasions I've been told I'm like a surgeon preparing for an operation the way I was washing my hands :o :D
 
Notice this quite frequently in our office. Thankfully we have paper towels, so I always use one to open the door with. At first I used to get some weird looks, but now I see lots of people doing it.
 
Even if humans didn't need to go to the toilet it would still be a good idea to wash your hands a number of times per day due to dirty keyboards, mice, door handles etc.

The way I see it... Even if the act of going to the toilet doesn't make your hands dirty (although it well might!), it does represent a convenient interval during your day for you to give your hands a gentle wash with some water and a little detergent.
 
I urinate on my hands while I'm going, as someone once told me it's sterile. This avoids the need to wash them afterwards. I then rub myself all over my colleagues to get my scent on them, marking them as my own.
 
What do you do when you go to the toilet? Wee on your hands? After number 2 is inexcusable due to proximity, but the sides of my wang are probably less dirty than the handrail on the stairs, or the doorhandle.
I am more a rinse and run, as water will rinse of any splash back that I somehow didn't feel.
Urine is sterile and clean anyway.
