FTM Phalloplasty Using Public Restrooms Post-op

I used to have pretty intense anxiety when it came to using public restrooms before phalloplasty. One of my main reasons of getting phalloplasty was to be able to pee standing and use a urinal. I thought I would discuss how using the restroom differs now vs. pre-op and if my anxiety has been relieved.

    Bathroom tip: doing math activates the same part of your brain as going pee does! For me, I do some simple times tables: 2x2-4,4x2-8,8x2-16,16x2-32..... and it usually helps/makes me pee quickly. Try it out!

    I always sing the same song/tune in my head every time i go to the bathroom. I do it only at home where i'm completely relaxed for the first couple weeks (make it a habit). After a couple weeks start sing the tune in your head at public rest rooms. Someone told me this years ago and it does help. pick a tune that you would not hear on the radio or anywhere cause you will instantly feel like you need to pee.

    For the gym, I know sales people are annoying but you've got to understand that the point of the guest pass is to "try before you buy". Even if you have no intention of joining, just play it off so it doesn't seem like you're just using them/the facility, even if that's the case. They are a business after all.

    You might be surprised at the number of cis guys who get pee shy at urinals too. If I have the option, I’ll always go for a cubicle over a urinal, especially if they’re close together or busy. Sometimes if there’s no cubicle option, I’ll just leave and hold it.

    Awwee. Don’t worry you’ll get used to it, being cis trust no ones looking and no one cares unless they really are curious to see. If you feel awkward it’ll look awkward to other guys so work on that confidence. Anxiety is so weird to me, I don’t have it but I hear it soooooooooo much it drives me crazy, I’m trying to understand.

    I know this is over 2 years since you posted and hopefully you do not feel that way any more. However, no FTM guy should feel anxiety while standing at a urinal. As a cisgender man, I have a a shy bladder and if it is not completely full, I wait my turn and go to a private stall. On the other hand, most cisgender guys are not checking what others are doing standing in front of a urinal. Each one minds his own business and believe me, there are guys with smaller penises than FTMs.
