A question never asked....

Posted by Rob on 9/8/2011, 5:08 pm

Good afternoon, well after much deliberation I have finally found the courage to ask a burning question that has been stored away in the back of my mind since a child.

Why can’t I pee at a urinal when other blokes are standing next to me?
This is embarrassing and not at all pleasant.
Most of the time I have to go in the cubicle and stay in longer than necessary so people think I am having a dump.

Regards

Rob.

HI Rob,
Welcome to the forum, it's not a silly question and one which kept going through my head before I discovered the UKPT several years ago.

Have a read of the website / forum and I would throughly recommend attending a beginners course which are normally held in London and Manchester twice a year.

The course has not 100% cured me but I can lead a normal life and go anywhere without the fear of my next toilet stop. I used to turn down so many invites to social events / travel over the years for fear of not being able to go for a pee!! Who cares if you use a cubicle and how long you take. You always worry about the time you take but no one ever notices!!

You are not alone, there are many people in this country and around the world who all suffer with the same issue.

Regards
AdamP

Hi Rob,

You have what so many people have in the world, its more common than you may think. For some people, the problem can escalate and some people are unable to urinate in their own home if others are present. You have what would be described as a mild case.

As Adam says - read through as many posts as you can and the main website too. If you feel you want to get on top of this then a workshop is just what you need.

Cheers,

Mark
