as to the above post
i to am having this imbarrassing problem, however i noticed that if i have sex that this goes almost completely away, is it possible that our senses are confused and that we should try making love think about it, can you pee when it is standing up saying hello baby??? and also after sex don't most men in general have a problem there? just a thought. mine i noticed is more intence on some days and less on others. there seems to be corolation to heavy stress days as well, i seem to have these problems on the days that i get paniky. which i was having the last couple days. to where if people get in my air space i feel traped and vulnerable. i hate that feeling.
good luck
