Well, it is true that most of us wash our hands after urinating simply from habit; given that one (hopefully) keeps one's pénis clean, there is really very little reason to wash the hands.

One remembers the (possibly apocryphal) story of the matelot and the pilot meeting at the urinal. The pilot finishes, zips up and heads for the door. "In the Royal Navy," comments our brave sailor chum, "we are taught to wash our hands after using the lavatory."

"And in the RAF" responds the aviator, "we are tauight not to pķss on our fingers."
