Have you ever not been able to go?

[Ian]

This topic is only aimed at blokes but I guess it could affect birds as well.

Imagine the scenario. You're standing at a urinal and somebody comes in and uses the one next to you. Performance anxiety kicks in and you can't go.

I realise that there is a certain urinal etiquette, never use the one next to another man (use the bog if you have to) but sometimes there are no other options.

I was in Morrsions yesterday using their facilities and they have two urinals. Another bloke came in and was forced to use the one next to me because the bog was occupied.

As I had started just seconds before I struggled to go and ended up having to think of waterfalls just to get flowing. Only a little bit of wee came out depsite being bursting.

So yeah, anybody else suffer from this? Have you ever pretended to piss even when you haven't so you don't look stupid? Why is this?

(Btw, this doesn't affect me when I'm drunk.)

 

[bob_3_]

Haha yeah I've had it, and yes doesn't effect me when I'm drunk either.

 

[marc]

I can only use them when there is no one there or I am drunk.

Everyother time I use the private room lol.

Usually I use a cubicle as I don't like the idea of getting my cock out infront of people, but yesterday at Alton I used a urinal, and I must have stood there for around 10 seconds before I got any flow at all. Even them I had to rush through to get it all out.

There has been psychological studies into urinals, and they say that the rate of flow is affected by arousal levels (not in that way ). Basically, if another person is near you, you hesitate to start and when you do, you are more likely to rush it than take your time.

Hence why some guys can't go.

I don't usually have problems. I usually just try and ignore other people.

 

[Emmett]

I usually only use the cubicle and if I was desperate I would still wait for one rather than using a urinal. I don't like the idea of having a piss beside someone. I would only go if the toilet was empty and there was no cubicle available.

 

[A-Kid]

Ready to blow, but it will never flow. Yeah, I have had that before.

Depends on my mood and if I can catch myself unaware.

If I'm in a good mood, anxiety is low, so I have no problems. I find that having a distraction helps too.

However, I tend to get stressed about performance anxiety before I even go. So if there's anyone else about I struggle. I've spent years teaching myself relaxation techniques. It works most of the time now, but sometimes it still happens and I have to wait for the bloke stood next to me to leave :lol:

 

[Steven]

Not a problem. TBH a urinal is a urinal I don't care where I stand as long as I go.

Another reason to add to the list why it's not good to queue next to you at theme parks.

 

[Ormerod]

I find public toilets disgusting really, but if I am needing the toilet I pick cubicle. Sometimes it can feel awkward standing next to a father teaching his son to pee in a urinal. I'd rather have privacy.

 

[Screaming Coasters]

LOL, I used to have this problem but I've reprogrammed my brain using EFT and it has worked wonders. Now I pee without a problem lol.

 

[LiveForTheLaunch]

Usually if I sit on the toilet I can definitely pee fo sho, but there can't be any distractions around. If someone tries to talk to me while I'm trying to pee, then it hinders my ability, but other than that pee usually flows quite easily .

*pee shy*

 

[nealbie]

This topic makes me wonder how there's usually loads of people at urninals :lol:

I only use urinals when I really need to go, because standing there for a while just waiting makes you look like a right lemon

 

[Mark]

I hate urinals. Simple. I use the cubicle wherever possible. The only time I use a urinal is if there is a stupid queue for the cubicle and I am drunk... this tends to only happen in nightclubs and since my visits to those establishments are about as frequent as Saw The Ride operating a full day without breaking down, it is very rarely a problem.

 

[wash]

It can be kind of awkward if there aren't dividers, but I never have trouble doing my business.

 

[Ali]

I have no problems with urinals, . Just let it flow.

 

[Error]

The only real time I've had trouble to go is when I needed to do drug tests. IE, pee in the damn cup.

I always pass them, anyway. I'm that boring.

 

[Jake]

I only ever use cubicles, even if i'm desperate.
