I've heard jokes about it, but I didn't think it was a widespread thing. Doesn't the need to pee outweigh the fear of... well. Whatever the fear is I guess? What exactly is the fear?

I feel no fear or anxiety at all at first. It just doesn't come out if someone is next to me. The fear and anxiety comes afterwards when you've started taking a little bit too long. I think a lot also has to do with reduced bladder pressure as you get older or get chronic back issues.

Got it. Well, I'm sure it doesn't help, but I don't think anyone notices if someone is or isn't making pee noise. I think that's kind of the point of the comic, i.e., that never happens because no one is timing your piss cycle (I hope!).

For me, I just don't like having my genitals out when other people are around. It's not about whether they're looking or not, it just feels uncomfortable being exposed. Same reason I don't use public showers at gyms and such.
