Welcome to the forums. Its a great feeling when you discover you're not alone with this. Its something people keep to them selves due to embarrassment or fear of what people will think of you.
Its never too late to tackle this, so best thing to do is get booked on to a work shop. Details can be found in the top posts on the forum, and are held in London and Manchester. You'll meet great people, have a great time and come away with a completely different outlook in it and you'll be amazed at what you can achieve in 1 weekend!
Thanks for ur reply mark I'm gonna go on next work shop in London I've lived with this curse since I can remember its stopped me doing so many things in my life & traveling . I was a great boxer & it stopped me competing for the fear of boxing with a full bladder as Ive got older I've become an expert at getting around situations & gone on to b a successful boxing trainer . But now Ivefound other people with paruresis I'm determined to beat this thanks mark for ur reply. Dave
