    Hah, I’ve literally been there. Imagine a 9’x9’ prison cell with two men, steel bunk “beds”, and a solid steel toilet. Also, you’re high on suboxone because there’s not much else to do in prison.

    You’re a grown man, standing facing the toilet with wiener in hand, with another grown man’s head like 3 feet behind your ass. Standing there for what feels like eternity. And you’re thinking “Oh shit. He’s going to think I don’t know how to piss or something. This is weird. His head is way too close to my ass. Fuck, I’d better not fart. I forgot how pain killers and shit can make you unable to piss. It’s got to be the sub I took. I have to go so bad but I don’t know how to make it work. I did forget how to pee!”

    And as you panic, your bunkie finally says something like “What the fuck, dude? Did you forget how to piss?” and all of your fears come true.

    I could write a lengthy essay about how the design of modern western public bathrooms reflects our social hypocrisies, inconsistencies, and social ills. In fact I have been gathering thoughts for a while now with plans to do so.

    And I too opt for a stall whenever possible, I’m a cis-presenting man but I still don’t feel safe enough at a urinal for the pee to flow. But this stuff is often invisible to those it doesn’t affect adversely.

    Pissing with shy bladder protip: Do some multiplication tables in your head. What’s 7x6? 8x6? 4x12?

    Takes up enough concentration that it easily starts to flow. Made this trick up years back and it has never failed me.

    I’m arguably a real man’s man with typical man likes and man opinions but I won’t for the life of me understand this macho stigma against pissing sitting down.

    You have no toilet paper at urinals so you put your member back into your underwear with more residual piss on it than you would’ve otherwise, and splashback of piss particulates back onto your pants is also a thing.

    Especially when you drain the lizard in or at something that’s not one of those round specifically purpose built porcelain urinals. Like those unials that are just a big metal plate, a normal toilet, or a wall or tree.

    Here’s some advice I received years ago for this very situation: if you’re struggling to piss due to stage fright, imagine pissing on the head of someone you hate. Really imagine it. Imagine micturating all over their hair (or their scalp), the aghast expression, then them spluttering while trying to mouth ‘What the fuck?’ it does work. I don’t know why it works - and I most definitely don’t want to know - but it does work.

    You’re all most welcome :)

      What the actual fuck?..

      I thought I invented this or something, now I have to reconsider my entire life… I literally used to do this at work in a single stall bathroom but you never know when you might come out and there might be a line of even one person let alone four or five and they’re like what the hell you doing in there buddy. But seriously some psychological stuff like that can get you over the hump sometimes. It’s really something to consider if you are having problems. I’d prefer to sit down all together, I do all the time at home, but public restrooms, yeah, not unless it’s an emergency in the other department.

      Now though, it’s mostly prostate and bladder issues at 43, but hey, if that’s the worst of my problems I guess hell, It could be worse. I mean it’s not necessarily the least of my problems but hey, I guess if (trying) to piss standing up is what I’m up against, at least I’m still upright to try, right?

      Fuck I don’t know where I was going with this but anyway yeah I guess I’m not the only one lol

      🤷🏽

        Is this kink specifically about pissing on people you hate, or is it just generally pissing on people that brings mr peepee to attention?

    Cute comments and all, but is there a psychological explanation?

        This must be why I immediately fight any man who stands next to me at a urinal. Only one of us can pee, my man, and today ain’t your day. I need this!

      Your body is clenching around the piss pipes, and to pee you must relax. This is difficult if you’re not relaxed! Like failing to get to sleep, worrying about it just makes it worse.

        I don’t have shy bladder, my urethra just looks like one of those crazy straws with all the loop-da-loops, just takes a while make it to the exit

    I used to have this problem, but I somehow got over it by imagining to piss in the face of the queen of England. Something about unloading in her face while she’s sitting there all prissy like makes me laugh which relaxes my muscles enough to piss.

    This reminds me of one night where a group of friends went out drinking. Just before we were going to leave the pub to go to one further down the road one friend said he needed to take a piss. It triggered something in a bunch of us as most of us realised we needed to go.

    The toilets were really busy; that situation where you’re pissing in what is basically a trough with your elbows touching the elbows of other guys next to you. Immediately on trying to go it just wasn’t happening. I stood awkwardly for about a minute, zipped up, washed my hands and went outside.

    Everyone gathered round and we started walking. We were walking in silence for about a minute when one guy said “Did anyone else manage to actually pee?” To which loads of us burst out laughing. Turns out we all did the same thing, even though we needed to pee, we all failed to do so.

      One time I was in line to piss before watching a Mastodon concert, and I really had to piss, and I stood in line with like 50 dudes waiting for ye olde washroom, and there was like two urinals and a stall. Well fuck me the stall was taken, so not wanting to be a rude dick to every other dude in line I tried to use the urinal. So I whipped out mah johnson, and it was pretty much like the comic, got pee shy, held it for like 30 I don’t know 45 seconds or something. Nothing. I’m like looking over my shoulder at this massive line of of dudes behind me. Fuck. So I just pretended to shake it, shoved it back into my pants and was miserable having to piss the whole Mastodon set.

      I fucking hate having to piss in public around people. It’s so terrible.
