I'm mostly over it now. Once I get the flow started, I can pee anywhere. The big deal was relaxing enough to release the stream. A few things that helped: If I'm listening to my iPOD, the flow starts easily. If I look straight ahead and not worry about what everyone else in the mens room is doing, the flow starts in a reasonable amount of time. Be patient with yourself. Many times I made myself stand at the urinal until I could get the flow going instead of giving up and heading for the stall - even if it took 20 - 30 seconds.<br><b>References : </b><br> This is a common problem for many guys, and it was an issue for me for many years.

so anyway i was freakin that some guy was gonna look at me or i was gonna look at some guy or something like that
so what i did was as others have said go when theres no one else there but i used to freak if someone came in half way through and id seriously stop and have to move to a cubicle.
im not sure if this will work for you but hey it kind of worked for me so wait until you cant hold it anymore and then go to the toilet and youll need to go so bad that you wont care
also try to get a urinal in a corner instead of the middle and not next to any guy

In 8th grade, I just really had to pee one day and all the toilets were being used so i took a piss in a urinal with a bunch of people near me. i didnt look at them or even around i just looked ahead of me and minded my own business. you shouldnt get "stage fright" at a urinal i dont think anyone's really thinking at a urinal they just go do there thang and leave. i think your dad has already seen you pee when you were a baby.<br><b>References : </b><br> I didnt like peeing in urinals when i was in 6th or 7th grade.

Or what sometimes works for me is before i go i flush the urinal so it makes noise and that helps me most of the time. i would definetly try that.<br><b>References : </b><br> dude im the same way. especially when theres a line. then its like there is no way in hell i can pee to save my life. i just use the stalls and blow my nose before or after so its not as weird.

What I do is just go to the very last urinal, and just focus on what I have to do, otherwise I can't go, especially with other people near me, so that's what I've been doing. A way to actually go whenever you are caught between to guys is just listen to the toilette flush, or think of water LOL, that seems to help me in those wierd ocassions. I know this isn't the answer you are looking for, but it helps me sometimes. Let me know how you get over this anxiety, as I will need the answer as well. Later bro.<br><b>References : </b><br> Well that’s a hard one bro, I feel the same way and have the same problem.

I also don't like to aim for the toilet water - I aim for the non-water-filled part of the toilet so it doesn't make a sound. Please make sure you always keep your penis clean and there is no pee left on it before you zip back up. You don't wanna get a urinary infection.<br><b>References : </b><br> I don’t use stalls either, ’cause I kinda grew a little and now I actually need to shake it.
