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?
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.
Oh everyone's looking, bro!
Idk man, ask my subconscious
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.
