Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's not a choice. It's like some primal instinct or something.

Edit: urinals don't typically bother me but if you try to talk I'm done. Can't do the troughs. It's not insecurity it's just a little privacy and peace is nice.

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?

Dear Can's Subconscious,

Sorry I haven't written to you lately. I've been so busy, but that's no excuse. I hope you are well.

I was writing to ask a question: y u no pee? U scare? Y?

Sincerely,

WoahWoah

Oh man, if you could actually get through I'd have way more questions to ask.

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.
