I find this article absolutely hilarious. Of course the one item that raises a particular question is if people are too shy to seek help for this problem, how do you know there are 4 million of them?
Regards, Ivan

Toilet phobias range from a mild dislike of public loos to obsessions where sufferers refuse to leave their homes or even undergo potentially life-saving medical examinations.
Thanks for the laugh.

might have something to do with the fact that a lot of public urinals in the UK are big "let's all pee on the wall" devices

Maybe they should get George Michael to do public service announcements to urge folks that public toilets are A-OK and fun for the whole family.

"Few people will talk about having an anxiety disorder in the first place, but for them to admit they have a toilet-related phobia is rare because of the obvious embarrassment and humiliation of being laughed at or not being taken seriously." The ones who have the problem are probably laughing the loudest.

Jeezy Peezy... the Democrats next research project: How many people in America suffer from toilet phobia? How much can we squeeze out of the taxpayers for this dibilitating condition?
Thanks for the chuckle !!!

"Few people will talk about having an anxiety disorder in the first place, but for them to admit they have a toilet-related phobia is rare because of the obvious embarrassment and humiliation of being laughed at or not being taken seriously." And justifiably so. Like many people, I had to take psychology courses. Whether people dust of their old textbooks, or rummage through the Encyclopaedia of Human Behavior, or the MMPI Casebook, or whatever, come on, has anyone ever heard of this, seriously?
I think the National Health made it up so they can announce cures and treatments for it.
It is so much less challenging and costly than treating Kidney Disease, for example.
Loos in the UK are just fine. They do not harbor monster hairy spiders or bogeymen.
More likely, it is a manifestation of the ubiquitous Big Brother Surviellance Cameras that did it, where CREEPY little wankers sit in a darkened room spying on their neighbors instead of dealing with violent criminals.

I have a somewhat similar problem. The fews times I've been in the hospital in the last 20 yars and have had to use a bed pan to urinate, I've found it an absdolute devil to make anything flow and its all paychological.

Bwhahahahahahaha!
Thanks for the good laugh, MadIvan!
