Rob Lowe’s half funny DirecTV commercials are under fire by a group called the International Paruresis Association because one of them shows his character too bashful to piss in a public latrine. Paruresis means ‘Shy Bladder’ in Latin or ‘Embarrassingly Small Dick’ in every other language. Steve Soifer, the CEO of the IPA and biannual Yellowstone tourist thinks we should exercise some caution on the subject:
“It’s a situation that a lot of people don’t understand. In this particular case, the portrayal is making it look ridiculous, that this guy is a loser for having a problem. What if he didn’t have a leg or an arm, are you going to make fun of them?”
I wouldn’t think you’re a loser because it takes you a minute to get it flowing with a drunk lumberjack standing over your shoulder at Safeco. Tight quarters with fifty dudes with their dicks out squirting into a basin should make any man’s reproductive organs take pause. So you can’t piss in group settings. That’s nothing to be ashamed of. Using your real name and declaring yourself CEO of Shy Bladder sufferers, that’s another matter.
