Guys, this is a serious question regarding public bathroom experience. Oftentimes I experience what is known as shy bladder syndrome in public bathrooms. (When you need to pee but can’t release urine). I didn’t start to experience this until I was around 23 years old for some reason. I could pee in any situation with anyone watching or not. The issue varies based on wether not not there are dividers in between urinals, and the people who occupy the bathroom with me. For some reason, the issue is much worse if I am peeing next to someone whom I know, even my best mate, vs. a stranger. likewise the issue is worse if there are no dividers between spots. I am a confident person and have no issue on dividers/no dividers. I don’t feel the need for privacy to undo my pants and prepare for the deed. But for some reason, often times it’s like a valve just turns off and it’s a no go. As soon as they leave the vicinity, the water works open up. Has anyone else experienced this? I am trying to decide the root causes and how common it actually is.
Yes indeed! I think that’s happens because: Immediately After PMO/When you’re erect, you can’t pee easily. It’s uncomfortable. So perhaps, perhaps, In such a public place, maybe you were erect for some time, and when you go to pee, you feel that you may not be able to do so easily, and other people will know that you were erect, hence you couldn’t pee easily. Lol. Truth is, many people take more time to pee than usual coz they were erect. You know, chances of arousal are high in a public place. So there’s nothing to worry man, it’s completely normal. We need to stop bothering what the world will say. Being aroused in a public place is very natural and expected yes? There’s nothing to be ashamed about it I feel. And hey, keep it in your Calvins
I heard a funny tip for this once. What you do is you imagine peeing on the guy next to you (while aiming at the urinal obviously, don't actually pee on the poor guy). Sounds crazy but it works!
I used to feel extremely uncomfortable using public restrooms or peeing standing up at all. Nowadays I can usually do one or the other, but both at the same time tends to make things very difficult for me. Peeing standing up with someone next to me is impossible for me if I don't really have to go. Edit: Also despite what others seem to think, no, it's not connected to pmo addiction. Everything in life doesn't revolve around wether you watch porn or not.
Thanks for the input. But can you conclude a cause for this?? Or some sort of reasoning? As I said, I am not shy about using a public restroom, my body just won’t let me! Lol
Perhaps you have some unconscious blocks that are affecting it? Or maybe somehow you have grown affraid of the idea of not being able to pee when necessary and the fear has become a self-fulfilling prophecy? There are also physiological reasons for pee shyness, but since your pee shyness varies based on the people around etc. I think it's more likely to be psychological. Really though your guess is propably as good as mine.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's caused by PMO. A lot of guys on here are self-conscious about their penis size because of PMO. I deal with this too and when someone else enters the public bathroom I'm in, I try to stand as close to the urinal as possible so he doesn't see anything. I'm not totally sure if this is the reason why, but it kinda makes sense to me. Btw, off topic, I love your choice of name! "Keeping it in my Calvins." Clever. Lol
I could agree with this in some cases and that would make sense but the weird thing is, I’m not afraid for anyone to see my penis. It doesn’t bother me at all. And thanks!
Happens to me very frequently, especially when people I know are there with me. It's odd because I don't mind being naked in a locker room, so I don't think it's related to my penis being exposed. If it is related to pmo, I'd like to hear why. I want to solve this issue. Maybe it's just anxiety related?
Hey guys, I have the same problem, sometimes. I remember that when I was in puplic school, two class mates teases me sometimes when I went to the bathroom. I think this might be related to my pee shy. I found this article helpfull: https://www.healthline.com/health/shy-bladder?c=188934471684
The reason you're pee shy has nothing to do with masturbation. It's because you don't want to pee next to another men. Urinals are very odd if you think about it and they're hard for women to wrap their minds around. Just use the stall. Also, nice necro thread.
