This is known as the "distraction technique".
Even non-paruretics occasionally have some urinary hesitancy, and this usually works for them. (I have seen others make comments like this before on other unrelated forums).
May help sometimes, but probably not the best strategy for a true AP'er.
In saying that "whatever works" is still a good philosophy, eg - some have virtually cured this problem by nailing the "breath-hold" technique. (a shame this does not work for everyone).
