Guys: Do any of you have trouble using a public restroom?

Question

I don't know what it is, but I find it difficult to use a public restroom. Even when I've got to go, and someone is standing next to me taking a leek, I can't get mine started! If I'm alone, I have no problem. If I'm already in progress and someone walks in and stands next to me at the urinal I'm still okay. It's only when there are other guys in there taking care of business that I find it takes me a long long time before I can get started. I hate just "standing there" knowing that the other guys are probably wondering why they don't hear any pee hitting the water. Why does this happen? Any advice on how to get over this anxiety?

Answer 1

I too have what I refer to as "bashful" bladder syndrome. For years I only used the cubicle so that the door was closed. It is something I still have problems with. What worked for me to a certain extent was to think of something that relaxes me. Funny as it may seem to others when I think of walking on a beach I am able to do my business. And before you ask when I DO walk on a beach I don't wet myself!

Answer 2

wow, me to! Same thing, i hate it so much. I am g*y and i just figured that's why. But yeah it really sucks sometimes... stage fright..

Answer 3

This is called being pee shy. You should look into why it happens? What are your fears? If you find it that hard to get it on may be use the stalls instead?

Answer 4

I've never experienced this, but I knew a guy who told me he was "pee shy."  His solution was to use a stall in the restroom rather than the urinal.

Answer 5

I couldn't tell you how to get over it because I have the same problem. But I've even been known to come to a sudden halt if someone suddenly stands at the next urinal. I usually just use a stall.

And there is no way in the world I could do a #2 in a public bathroom. Every time I notice someone doing that I'm amazed at their lack of inhibition.

Answer 6

ur just nervous about ur body its nothing to worry about just a little pee shy you will get over email me if u need to talk about anything else im a really good listener  

Answer 7

i only go when im bursting. if you really need to go, it will come if you've been drinking beer.and your bladder is becoming distended.

Answer 8

Hi... You can count me in on this situation too...It has always been this way for me, but for a ton of years, I've been a cd - t/v and emulate women in all possible ways, so you can imagine my "preference" when I have to pee. And I even "sit / squat to pee" at home as well.

But when Im out and in "drabs" as they say, I use the men's washroom, but I too have to use a cubicle" as I don't feel "comfy" standing up to pee, plus have someone right "on my elbow" doing likewise..

I guess we all have our little situations in life even though some are brought about by our own doing (c/d ing etc)
