Are You Pee Shy?

yes i am, now stop asking...you're making it worse.

Not me.. Without peeing in public restrooms I can't shame other men with my patented

"Wow - the water's cold in this toilet ...
... and deep, too."

I just don't 'go' in public restrooms period (unless it's one hell of an emergency, in which case I don't care if the pope is in the washroom, I'm going to do my business). Just thinking of all the germs, and all the people that have been in there, sat on that throne..... *shiver*.

Great use of keywords, especially gotta-go. ;)

Fortunately, I've never had this problem. Coffee in, coffee out. I have even considered taking my coffee and dumping it right in the urinal at work just to save the steps later.

I only have this problem sometimes. Unfortunately, "sometimes" usually means in the case of an emergency. For example, on New Years in the city when bathrooms are rarely available and I reaaaally have to go.

For some reason, multiplying numbers seems to help on the rare occasion when I pee into a trough or waterfall (at the Madonna Inn) with company. Multiplication distracts a part of your brain that otherwise limits your ability to pee. Of course, having Cash standing next to you going whiz whiz whiz may be too distracting for even multiplication to help.

When I was younger, I had this problem, but as I've gotten older I've overcome a lot of my inhibitions, and I've learned some tricks for making it happen. The key move is to exhale from your chi-point. Exhaling like that creates a sense of relaxation, and once the flow starts it's work to stop it.

instead spare those less fortunate than yourself by being empathetic to their plight and allowing that single stall bathroom in your office to be their place of refuge and quiet reflection!

Out of consideration for those less fortunate, I am going to just pee in the trash can by my desk instead of going to the restroom from now on.

I was pee-ping through this thread and wondering, Vic -- did you intend this to be mainly a guy discussion, or did i just happen that way?

I havn't P'd alone in 21 years, 4 kids to thank for that!! All boys for that matter. But God forbid I should hap in on them now.. too funny what happins by acident!

I used to be pee-shy but college definitely broke me of that. In my freshman year we had just a row of urinals with no dividers and the toilets had no curtains or doors. After a couple of weeks guys gradually got comfortable with the idea of going to the restroom in such a public manner. Peeing wasn't much of a problem but guys started using strategy when it came to using the crapper. The most common strategies were to go when most people were in class or to go very early in the morning. We also had communal showers and most guys were quite uneasy about showering with other guys. It was probably not until midterms before that shyness went away. Oddly enough, none of the freshman women's dorms had open toilet stalls or communal showers.
