leakage/post dribbling...
I know this has been talked about before on this site, but looking through all the conversations I still have some questions. At one point someone suggested waiting a minute or two and then dabbing dry to stop dribbling, but this wouldn't really work for me because as far as I can tell it sometimes won't start until an a hour or so after urination. So I guess this is more a leakage problem...I never had it before, but theorize it may have resulted from me training myself not to clench up at the end of urination, thereby weakening (damaging?) the natural valve reflex that closes the urethra from the bladder... I did this simply as a way to decrease post-urination pain, and it worked quite well, but this seems like it could be a nasty side effect. Any comments on how to solve this new and embarassing problem?

Urination
In my case, I think it was caused by overstrained muscles unable to completely open and unable to completely close. I used to put toilet paper in my shorts after urination.
Stretching seemed to help with this after time. Try three times a day at least until you see results.
