It sucks. It's some weird subconscious thing. If I go into a public restroom and someone else is there I can't pee, it just doesn't fucking happen. And as soon as they leave I can. It's really hard when I'm out with people and only public restrooms are nearby. The only thing that helps (not fixes) is when I'm drunk. If I've had enough to drink I usually don't even notice if someones around unless they're right next to me. Anyone else have to deal with this bullshit?
You should just think about your sig. Not the picture, but what is says. Just remember that the last thing another guy is gonna do is look at your dick. Unless their a fag. It's proper bathroom ettiquete man. And never take a piss in the urinal right beside someone if there is another one open.
Went to the movies once, back in '66 or '67, with a couple of buddies from high school. Saw "Paper Lion", and "the Thomas Crowne Affair", one movie very heady/sexy, with a classic chess game scene between a man and a woman, and the other very agressive/physical, about a football team, with lots of grunts, hard hitting body slams, etc. We were all on acid. The affect of the acid on our participation in the context of the theater is that we were opened up psychologically to assimilate the physio-emotional tone of each movie in turn. During the intermission, I decided to wander, and wandered into the line for the men's room. It was, for some reason, a line that went out the door and into the hallway. I felt compelled to wait the time, rather than step out of line and appear indecisive. By the time I was at the front of the line, and then approaching the available urinal, my self-consciousness had kicked into full gear. I unzipped my fly, whipped out King Richard, and stood there ineffectively hanging. Nada. Nothing happened. It may have been good for you, but it wasn't good for me. I couldn't pee, and I was deathly afraid that someone might notice, that all that time in line and standing at the ready was in vain. I would be FOUND OUT!!!! After a period of time, I sheepishly put it away, zipped it back up, and left, went back to my seat, and thought,,WTF??! I think the first movie was the intellectual/sexy one, and I was just a bit embarrassed at having been getting this vicarious sexual thrill from the movie screen, in public. The next movie, the slam-bang kill'em football movie got my adrenaline going, and afterwards we three went out on the grassy strip along cliff overlooking Santa Monica Beach, and ran and jumped and generally got our yaya's out. Acid is a trip.
Moral of story: If you've just dropped acid and have to pee DON'T watch a sexy intellectual film. I really wish I could just tell myself to relax but it doesn't work. I guess I could see a therapist. I have a lot of generaly social anxiety, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea.
I think everyone who can ought to avail themselves of the services of a good therapist. Good, meaning one who can actually listen well, and respond appropriately, without trite or formulaic suggestions. It's just a sign of the times that people can't just go to their best friend, or a relative, to sit and have a decent chat. Only a few are capable of such genuine concern or skilled, perceptive and intelligent insight, and the ability to put their own agendas on hold for an hour's time or more, and listen to you. You end up having to pay people to do that, something that perhaps was more readily accessible in times past when the pace wasn't so brutal. Once I found a good therapist, I thoroughlly enjoyed going, once or twice a week. I looked forward to it.
I had that problem for all of my youth. It eventually went away in my 30s or 40s although i still have some anxiety about it. My advice is dont beat yourself up bout it. Just piss in a toilet stall sitting down if you have to. What's the big deal? Why does everyone have to be the same?
LOL, Bullshit, they all look, then half the time they get a little ego boost: "Mine's bigger than his, I'm more of a man". Most just never admit it. I know that even you do it, just dont admit it here cos you dont want anyone to think your a fag
I turn the faucet on when I'm peeing if I'm in a public place or at someones house. If I'm at a place with one of those automatic sinks that only work when someone is standing there, I just don't go. I can't!
I can honestly say, i have never once checked out another guy's junk (except when watching a porno [and have since learned that its best not to compare with porn stars ] but whatcha gonna do about that one?), especially in a urinal, that is just gay.
Yeah, I've never purposely looked at a guy's dong. I wouldn't even do it if I was gay, its rude. Sometimes you can't help seeing it out of the corner of your eye if the dude is hung like a horse though.
I dont mean you stand there and stare at it, give the guy a little wink. It happens in a microsecond, you cant help it, its evolution, your brain does it before you even think to yourself not to look. Even if you somehow can miraculously control your brain that fast, no one is going to believe you anyway when you say you dont
Maybe you're right, my brain might be wired wrong, because for me, i dont even like to make eye contact when im in a rest room.
I'm not saying i havent ever seen another guys dong (my friends love to piss outside, somtimes in quite inappropriate places), im just saying i dont look and if it happens, it happens completely by accident. P.S. Fucking love your new sig pic face eater.
