Paruresis Association of Australia

This is good info from the VIC Gov Health web site > http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Paruresis_shy_bladder_syndrome?open I have shared this before but some at the Sydney Support Group said that they had never seen it.

Hi heribonia, sorry to hear about your wife's problem with paruresis. I am glad that my report on my o/s travel was of some encouragement. Has she, and you, read the book "Shy Bladder Syndrome" by Steven Soifer? It is probably the best place to start getting some understanding about this social anxi...

I started about 6pm with my usual bit of shopping/browsing and then a light tea in the city. This meant that I was able to do some successful personal practice a couple of times before five of us met up as usual near Town Hall Station at 7.30pm. As I had not been able to get to a support group meeti...

Travel Overseas is possible for paruresis sufferers!!! Hi All Readers of this site. I have just come back from 6 ½ weeks travelling o/seas with my darling wife.

As someone about to travel to England, Scotland & Ireland for 6 1/2 weeks, it's great to read of ...

Hi Stanley, as someone with a relatively small penis, and having suffered with medium to severe parureis for 44 years before starting down the recovery road. I would NOT suggest that you undertake this surgery thinking that it will cure your paruresis. Have you read Steven Soifer's book - Shy Bladde...

Hi All, I just found another McDonalds with dividers!!!! We were visiting friends in Wollongong and had a hour to fill in so stopped for a coffee at the McD at Dapto (its just off the freeway, right at Dapto shopping center). I had about a 6/10 urgency so decided to keep up my desensitisation practi...

Wow what a quiet month on this PAA Site!!!! Where are you all hiding? Studies in the USA have shown that at least 7% of men and about 1% of women have this condition, so where are you all? Anyway, I had opportunity today to have a good long chat with my GP. He is new, as the previous doctor has reti...

Hi Derek,

How did you cope with your surgery and gaseous anaesthetic?

Hope it all went well.
