Option 3. Definitely or me. The strange thing is I can remember going to the toilets and peeing with my friends in the 1st & 2nd years of HIgh School, and then I just stopped going, and couldn't urinate in the urinal bowls any more !!! I have spoken to a good friend, who was one of my good friends t...

Anyone who has suffered with paruresis for any length of time has developed ‘survival skills’ to help them cope in life.

I am amazed at the differences in design here in Sydney, it must be the same in Victor...
