Andrew's theory about our reaction to threats fits in well with my experience in a local loo where there is a female attendant and cleaner. I have often encountered her cleaning the basins and have had no problem peeing in front of her as she presents no threat in the way that a man might. Same applies in French "pay as you pee" loos where there is usually a woman at the door taking the money in full sight of the urinals. So try to think "Where's the threat ? This other guy is only here for a pee, same as I am !" Pete.
