Is there a Freudian basis to the "Bashful Bladder" syndrome?
Are people who "freeze up", when others are present during attempted urination, possessive in spirit?

I found that there are oodles of sources of info at Sherlock, found that it's called parauresis. It appears to reflect feelings of inadequacy.
"You're in luck," Freud said to me.
"Analysis sets bladders free!"
(I was nervous, having heard reports
Freud was strange, and into 'water sports' )
He said, just drink these seven pints of beer
and when we're done you'll be a first class peer!"
"feelings of inadequacy"...very interesting.
Do women feel as "inadequate" as men, when this urinary problem arises?
