Can you Pee in Public?

As many as 1 to 2 million Americans can't urinate at all if there is someone else in the restroom. These people, mostly men, suffer from an anxiety disorder known as "avoidance paruresis" (sometimes called shy bladder, bashful bladder, or bladder shyness). Some experts believe that 15 million more "low level paruretics" have some difficulty urinating when there is someone else at the next urinal or in the next stall.
