Hi Edward About hypnosis, please refer to our website FAQ here http://www.ukpt.org.uk/first_visit/first_visit_Faq.htm As for acupuncture, I would say the same. As paruresis is a learned response to a feared situation, it is in the mind and so needs cognitive therapy and graduated desensitisation (i.e. CBT) to reverse that. As for a quick result: I wish. Like anything else that has to be learnt, or unlearned, or any sport training, it takes as long as it takes, with persistence being the key. Havng said that, guys with a mild case (i.e. struggle with urinals but are OK with cubicles) do get a significant improvement by attending our weekend workshop Cheers Andrew
