Does any other male get stage fright when going to the toilet out in public?!


Question: Does any other male get stage fright when going to the toilet out in public!?
For some reason when I need to go to the toilet in public I find it really hard to go, especially when using Urinals!. Doesn't matter how much I need it, I usually end up just standing there until the toilets are empty or just leave still needing the toilet!. I have know its really stupid but I just can't help it!. I just wondered if there are any other males that have this problem or if it's just me!? Bit of a strange question I know!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I do sometimes!. You have a phobia called paruresis!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is Paruresis!. I have it too!. It really sucks!. Even if a divider wall is between the urinal I still have some trouble gettting started!. Usually I go in a stall when possible and that helps!.

One other thing I find that helps if I am forced to use a urinal is to take my index finger and gently brush it up against the tip and sides of the head a few times and while doing so each time you brush up have the intention that it will make the urine to start flowing, kinda like coaxing it out, I don't know what is about doing that (and no I'm not masturbating) that makes me relax to go, perhaps the act kinda throws my mind off of other people nearby so maybe it is a diversionary tactic!. I hope that helps!. I'm getting better but I remember times when I drank so much and had to go so bad but nothing would come, it was so frustrating and uncomfortable!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is a fairly common problem!. You're not the only one!.
One thing you can do might help!. Instead of using the urinal, go into the stall and sit as if you were going to have a BM!. You have more privacy there, and sitting down will help you relax more muscles, because you're using less of them to stand upright!. You also won't be aware of any queue forming behind you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There was an article in one of the papers not long ago on the very subject and it said that some men just cannot use a urinal if other men are near by, they have to go in to a cubicle and use the WC!. So it is not unknown, but many years ago I went in to the public toilets to have a pee and just as I had undone my flies and was getting it out so to speak, a rather effeminate looking chap wearing a sports jacket and national health round glasses asked me if he could it while I had a pee, I politely declined his kind offer, when he offered me five quid to do it and I still declined, politely of course!. I must admit he did look disappointed but it just goes to show there are two sides of the coinWww@Answer-Health@Com

Both males and females get this feeling!. Some are shy about it, some are not!. The best thing to do is tune out your surroundings and just relax your body!. By doing this, your bladder will relax and the urine will flow out!. If you still can't urinate the best thing to do is urinate before leaving home so you won't have to go in public!. Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think it's a threat level response!. If you perceive a threat - there's nothing you can do about it - your body will react to that and it's the lower order fight/flight part of the brain in control!. Every guy experiences this to some degree at one time or another!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I will say that yes other men also get "stage fright" when going to the bathroom in public!. Personally I dont like going to the bathroom in a urinal if there isnt a divider!.!.!. and im sure that other men can agree with me!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah, most of us experience it at some time!. Try to wait until you're about to explode before you go to the restroom!. Maybe the urgency will help keep you from clenching up!.

Girls use urinals!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

yeah sometimes those open urinal can be intimidating, maybe you have a shy bladder, just go to the toilets andgo, its a normal feeling though, dont sweat itWww@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe you are self concious!. When I was younger (and still only 4inches) I used to be self concious using a urinal next to all those 6, 7, & 8inch men!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
