The conversation: Caught short: we need to talk about public
Posted: Tue Jul 05, 2016 5:11 pm
This came up in my news feed. No mention of paruresis/shy bladder. So thought maybe some folks here might like to write some constructive comments (the website requires comments with full names, so just be aware of that):

The conversation is an academic publication with a large focus on public policy. So some awareness of paruresis in this field may go along way. Overall though, I think what they're arguing for is good. More public toilets would certainly be better for us and indeed paruresis should help their argument too. If we could achieve greater awareness about privacy in the design of toilets (especially men's) that would be even better.
