im trying to find the root of my issues. I donāt suffer from anxiety, confidence issues, fit & healthy. overthink all the time though. whenever i want to piss, i can never ever go in a urinal. when im in a cubicle, absolutely no issue. cannot piss in front of others.
went through a breakup and never really had any issues, the start i couldnāt get it up then lasted about 2 minutes but thatās normal. im just wondering if thereās a performance anxiety link between the two.
Overthinking and pauresis are forms of anxiety.
thanks for the reply mate. i have no social anxiety what so ever, which is why itās difficult to understand
I have noticed this get worse recently. Iād say it started around 30 and for the last 5 years has gotten worse. My erection issues have also gotten worse with time and I have also wondered if there is a link between the two. My guess would be that there is a link, as it feels very similar. All you can think about is the fact that itās not happening, and that the person next to you knows youāre not pissing, and is probably thinking about it too! Similar to when I try to mind read my sexual partner
Had this too at points in the past. I find a few deep breaths (maybe box breaths) help me relax enough to start peeing.
My anxiety stems from when I was a young teen I saw men masturbating in the public toilets. I was scared at the time but also a bit turned on and ended up with am erection at times. Now Iām older and wiser it doesnāt bother me so much. Maybe take some time to dig into where this anxiety comes from?
