U.K. PARURESIS TRUST: Re: Hello

hey Andrew, cheers for the response.

I would say with me, it is sometimes mild and sometimes severe. I have been aware of it since I was about 11. I can urinate in a urinal at my local pub, and thats like one of those old trough things, but thats only usually if the toilet is empty. At its worst I can be sat on a toilet waiting for nothing but a few drops, while im in agony just willing myself to go.

I can go in places that have more than one cubicle without fail most of the time, but if its only one cubicle and its busy then theres a problem, espcially if there is no lock. What amazes me is that I can usually go in portaloos without much problem, even if there is a large queue. I was gutted on my latest trip to watch a football match at Wembley to find portaloos were not there anymore, as they are some what of a 'failsafe'.

No gos for me are usually pubs when they are busy, thats if its a pub with AP unfriendly design (which is most i find). I definantly cant go to clubs, when I have in the past, it was hell. One time a bouncer peered in at me when I was in a cubicle at a club! It was a haloween themed night aswell! I remember reading a post on here where a guy said on a night out he would have to make excuses to leave a pub if he could not urinate there, I have done the same thing many times. As it stands I have cut back alot in going out, in the past I would persevere, but sometimes the pain is too much and I would rather stay at home.

Its that when Im with my friends, and see the way they can almost whip it out wherever and not be bothered, I just want to be like that! Some of the places they have been able to go amaze me.

I will look into the book you have mentioned, aswell as the rest of the site. I have usually only looked at the message boards. The Manchester workshop is aswell not really possible for me this time round, mainly due to a lack of funds. London is alot closer to me and will be easier the next time the workshop comes around.

Thanks, Naps.
