I don't know why, but strangers ALWAYS try to start up a conversation with me while I'm standing there. Apparently, I'm most approachable while peeing.

| Newbie Regular Member   Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Some people Location: Indiana, USA Posts: 8 Join Date: Feb 2013 | Re: Comfortable using urinals. I can but prefer not to, I find myself using them if no one else is around otherwise I get "stage freight" or absolutely can not start urinating with someone standing near me, and though mostly looking straight ahead at the wall, still can not go. Though I am a bit shy about my penis in public, and I'm also horrified others will think I am trying to look at there's so it causes me too much anxiety. |

| Cecile's sidekick EC Advisor   Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: All but extended family Location: Belgium, EU Age: 29 Posts: 3,693 Join Date: Feb 2009 | Re: Comfortable using urinals. Not a fan, personally. Too many people, or someone standing too close by, or talking, and I just can't seem to go. It's not really about peeking, though. It happens just the same when I'm standing next to friends that I have seen naked before. Personal theory (not backed by any evidence, mind you) is that it's something that evolves naturally. Most animals (humans included) are quite vulnerable when they pee. So they'll try to minimise the risk of being jumped by predators at such a vulnerable moment. People running around or talking probably triggers our subconscious drive to wait just a bit longer until we're fully sure of our environment.

| EC Addict Full Member  Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Most know. Some are clueless (haha!) Location: St. Olaf Age: 20 Posts: 1,060 Join Date: Dec 2012 | Re: Comfortable using urinals. You'd have to pay me a million dollars. Now, I will preface this by saying - I have "middle school" urinal anxiety. I think things have changed, but I remember learning in middle school that "you couldn't stand right next to a guy. You had to have a urinal in between." I of course thought this was stupid. It wasn't a gay thing - I just didn't get it. If i had to pee, I had to PEE. So I just gave up. Occassionally, I will use them. OCCASSIONALLY. AKA - If I am in a really big hurry or there's an emergency.
