Shy bladder caused by PMO?

    So I was wondering if anyone had shy bladder syndrome and then after going on NoFap has it gone away?

    Most of the time shy bladder is just some underlying psychological thing. So like for me if I'm in a public restroom by myself no problem, other people in their say a concert if I get a stall, no problem. But urinal with people around? Ha it's going to be a minute, unless I'm about to piss my pants.

    I'm on day 10 of doing it for least 15 years and I haven't really had a chance to see if it's getting better or not. I know people talk about guilt and feeling shady and stuff from fapping so I wonder if this could be the underlying cause although I don't really feel that way in every other aspect.

    I've had shy bladder my whole life. Unsure if it was directly related to PMO, but I want to say no, because when I was P-free for a year, it was still there.

    And then I read a comment in a thread on reddit about six months ago that changed my life!

    The simple solution to shy bladder is to do math in your head. Some weird explanation about math using the same part of your brain as the anxiety. All I do is start with 2 and keep doubling it until I can go. Works everytime! I'm very grateful for that.

    I'll have to give that a try. Usually I'll just start thinking in my head like having a conversation with myself.

    I don't know if it's kinda like performance anxiety but like it gets in my head that everyone is like "what is taking him so long" ect. So I don't know if it's because like my PMO lead to PIED that it I don't feel comfortable around other people in the sexual organ department. Not saying peeing is sexual but involving the penis.

    It's not like I'm ashamed of my pieces size or anything.

    I know exactly what you mean, everytime I walk into the bathroom, I dread another guy standing at a stall. Then I pretend to take a long time to unzip, scratch my junk, look distracted, in hopes that he will finish up and I can pee. So many times I've walked away without peeing, and just felt ashamed, like "That dude knows I didn't pee!"

    It's really dumb when you think about it.

    But yeah man do math. Like real math! Really Really see how far you can keep doubling numbers. If that gets too easy, keep tripling from 3.

    Report back, lemme know if it works for you too.

    Will do sir.

    It would just be nice to know the underlying reason and not just temp fix.
