I sometimes think that maybe as a society we'd be better off relaxing nudity taboos or something.

I dunno even pets like dogs have to make eye contact with their owner while shitting to feel comfortable and they know nothing of our puritanical ways.

Most dogs view their humans as pack alphas, and in nature they feel vulnerable to attack while they're shitting. So they look to the alpha to see that they're safe. They don't so much want you to watch them as to look beyond and behind them so they can see your reaction if something starts approaching.

For me its the pressure of someone waiting to use it after me, especially when its a lot of people like a packed pub or break time at a show/live music/event etc.
The amount of times if have pretended to have finished, gone washed my hands a walk out only to wait 10mins to go try again...

Only sometimes?

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Totally agree. Or maybe there could be a little fig leaf dispenser by the urinals so all the shy guys can hide their junk from god whilst they micturate.

it's not that it's just that public toilets are an uneasy place and therefore it's hard to relax, especially when standing up at a urinal instead of sitting down on a regular toilet

You usually sit down at urinals?

no, on a regular toilet of course
